BACKGROUND PAPER BY THE SECRETARIAT1 
1. At the meeting of the Special Session of th e Committee on Agriculture on 16 November 2012 
Members endorsed the call for the Secretariat to provide a background paper on export competition. The original request for this Secretariat paper is contained in the G-20 non-paper "Request of Studies on Tariff Rate Quota Administration and on Export Competition".

6 December 2008) under the Export Competition pillar, namely: 
a. Export subsidies; 
b. Export credits, export credit guarantees or insurance programmes; 
c. Agricultural exporting state trading enterprises; and 
d. International food aid. 
3. The paper is divided into four parts corre sponding to the four areas listed above.

  PART A - EXPORT SUBSIDIES 
4. This part provides information on the use of export subsidies by Members with export subsidy 
reduction commitments. 
5. This part expands on the information contained in documents TN/AG/S/8/Rev.1 dated 
2 February 2005 and TN/AG/S/8/Rev.1/Add.1 dated 31 January 2005. The information is taken 
from Members' schedules and Tables ES:1 notifications up to 15 March 2013. 
6. This part is divided into two sections: Section I  specifies information concerning export 
subsidy reduction commitments, both in terms of  budgetary outlay and quantity commitments 
and Section II  specifies information concerning notified export subsidy budgetary outlays and 
quantities. 
SECTION I 
7. This section lists export subsidy reduction commitments by Member and by implementation 
year3, as specified in Members' schedules. The tables show, for each Member concerned, the 
annual and final bound export subsidy budgetary outlay and quantity commitments by product 
or group of products. The following column headings are used: 
REF The last digit or the two last digits of the reference number (Export 
Subsidy ID - XSID) used in the Consolidated Tariff Schedules database 
(CTS) to identify each export subsidy reduction commitment; 
 PRODUCT  The product or group of products as specified in the Members' schedules
4; 
and 
 
1995… For each implementation year, the Member's budgetary outlay/quantity 
annual commitment. 
 
8. For each Member, the currency/quantity unit used for reduction commitments and the type of 
year (i.e. calendar, financial or marketing year ) used to specify each commitment are indicated 
in the title and complemented in some cases by a note attached to the relevant table. 
9. The symbol "n.r." indicates that the products concerned were not subject to commitment in 
the implementation year in question (either because the country concerned was not a Member or because that type of commitment - budgeta ry outlay or quantity - does not apply). 
Summary of export subsidy reduction commitments 
 10. Of the current 159 Members, 25 have, in Section II of Part IV of their schedules, export 
subsidy reduction commitments.
5,6 These Members are listed in Table 2 below along with the 
number of product specific commitments. The latter are classified in various product groupings in order to facilitate the presentation. The product groupings used are set out in Table 1. They 
reflect the categories of products or groups of products used for the establishment of export 
subsidy reduction commitments during the Urug uay Round as in document MTN.GNG/MA/W/24 
and in relation to total exports as in document G/AG/2, subject to the following presentational adjustments (shown in bold in Table 1): 
                                               
3 The term "implementation year" re fers to the relevant calendar, fi nancial, or marketing year as 
specified by individual Members. 
4 In original language only. 
5 The European Union is counted as one Member during the whole period, based on the EC-15 CXL 
Schedule that was certified on 22 February 2010. The European Union has notified since marketing year 
2006/2007 (document G/AG/N/EEC/57/Rev.1) its calculation of "EC-25 commitment levels following Article XXIV.6 negotiations for the EU enlargement of 2004" . These data have been incorporated in the tables 
hereafter for information, without prejudice of the fi nal outcome of the GATT article XXIV.6 EU enlargement 
negotiation in relation to this issue. 
6 Costa Rica has commitments only in Section III of Pa rt IV of its schedule (commitments limiting the 
scope of export subsidies), however as this section of sc hedules is not covered by the notification requirements 
(document G/AG/2), it is not taken into consid eration throughout the rest of this paper. TN/AG/S/27

  i. reflecting the nature of many schedules, the fruit (category 19) and vegetables 
(category 20) groups have been combined into one (with the code of 20); 
ii. subsidies on agricultural products contingent on their incorporation in exported 
products ("incorporated products")  have been given the code 23; 
iii. "other" agricultural products, i.e. those that do not fit into any of the groupings used 
during the Uruguay Round, have been given the code 24;and 
iv. "all agricultural products" (combined) have been given the code 25.

11. The information in Table 2 on the number of prod uct-specific commitments by Member in each 
product grouping is taken from the schedules of Members. For the purposes of Table 2, budgetary outlay commitments have been used. Members also have commitments on a 
quantity basis although, in total, there are fe wer of these than budgetary outlay commitments, 
reflecting aggregate export subsidy reduction commitments (e.g. "incorporated products" and "all agricultural products") for which there are no quantity-based commitments. 
12. In total, with this calculation, there are 428 export subsidy reduction commitments. Two 
commitments apply to "all agricultural products" and five to "incorporated products". The 
remaining 421 are product-specific commitments with both budgetary outlay and quantity 
commitments.

7 Additional work on the products definitions accord ing to data sources underlying these groupings can 
also be found in annex 1 of document G/AG/W/32/Rev.13 dated 18 October 2012. 
8 In the case of Poland's "animal husbandry products " commitment, there is no quantity commitment in 
the Schedule.

  SECTION II: NOTIFIED BUDGETARY OUTLAYS AND QUANTITIES 
13. Based on Members' Tables ES:1 notifications up to 15 March 2013, this section lists, for 
Members with export subsidy reduction commitments, the notified export subsidies for each product or group of products shown in the sch edule of the Member concerned for the period 
1995-2012. 
14. As was the case in document TN/AG/S/8/Rev. 1/Add.1, this section does not list export 
subsidies granted by developing country Members notified under Article 9.4 of the Agreement 
on Agriculture (Supporting Table ES:2). 
15. Both budgetary outlays and quantities are cove red. The symbol "n.r." indicates that the 
products concerned were not subject to notifica tion requirements in the year in question 
(either because the country concerned was not a Member or because that type of commitment 
- budgetary outlay or quantity - does not apply). A blank indicates that no notification has 
been received for the year in question. 
16. The following column headings are used: 
REF The last digit or the two last digits of the reference number (Export Subsidy 
ID-XSID) used in the CTS File to identify each export subsidy reduction commitment; 
 
PRODUCT  The product or group of products as specified in the Members' schedules (or 
abbreviated)
9; 
 
UNIT  The currency/quantity unit used for reduction commitments and a percentage 
symbol below (in italic); and 
 
1995…2012 For each year: 
 
- the notified budgetary outlay or quantity; and  
- the resulting share of the Member's corresponding annual commitment for that 
year expressed in percentage (in italic). 
 
17. The Members annual commitment levels used to calculate the shares are those listed in section 
I of this part.10 
18. For each Member, the type of year (i.e. calendar, financial or marketing year) used for each 
notification is indicated in the title complemented in some cases by a note attached to the 
relevant table. 
 
 
                                               
9 In original language only. 
10 In the case of the European Union, the commitment levels used for this calculation as of 2006 are 
those provided by the EU in the correspon ding notifications (cf. footnote 5).

o To the extent possible, its breakdown between export financing support with a 
repayment term of less than 180 days and with a repayment term greater than 180 days. Members in a position to provide information on export destinations for 
export financing support with a repayment term greater than 180 days, and/or 
additional information on the breakdown per length of repayment term of export financing support with a repayment term greater than 180 days were invited to do 
so. 
 22. Members were also invited to provide any website reference that they considered useful for 
sourcing requested data and any additional relevant information or accompanying notes. 
23. The information request specified in its annex that, for the purpose of this request, the export

  Brazil 
Export Financing Programme - PROEX 
 
The Export Financing Programme (PROEX) is a programme from the Federal Government 
administered by Banco do Brasil to finance Brazilian exports of goods and services under conditions equivalent to those prevailing in the international market. 
 
PROEX export credits are offered under two different modalities:   PROEX Financing:  PROEX Financing consists of direct financing to Brazilian exporters or 
importers. This modality is available to companies with gross annual revenues of up to 
R$600 million. The repayment period varies from 60 days to 10 years, depending on the technological content of the exported good or  the complexity of the service rendered. For 
repayment periods up to 2 years, PROEX can finance up to 100% of the export value of the 
product or service concerned. In operations with a repayment period longer than 2 years, PROEX finance is limited to 85% of the the export value. 
 PROEX Equalization: Under PROEX Equalization, PROEX assumes part of the financial 
charges of exports financed by financial institutions in Brazil or abroad, making them equivalent to those in the international market. This modality is available for Brazilian companies of any size. The equalization can be granted to the importer or to the exporter. 
The repayment period varies from 60 days to  15 years, depending on the technological 
content of the exported good or the complexity of the service rendered.

 Buyer’s Credit And Guarantee Programme  
 
This is a medium- and long-term financial support programme, which has been mainly developed for the export of capital goods and turn-key investment projects to be undertaken 
by Turkish contractors. The programme aims to  strengthen the competitiveness of Turkish 
exporters and contractors in international mark ets and to provide these companies a risk-free 
environment for their activities in markets pertaining high political and commercial risk. 
Through this programme, Turk Eximbank enable s foreign buyers to purchase Turkish goods 
and services. Within the framework of this programme, financing facilities are allocated for project finance and may take the form of dire ct lending or guarantee. Under the Buyers' 
Credit and Guarantee Programme (direct credits/financing and export credit guarantees 
program), Türk Eximbank has not provided finance or guarantee to exports of 
agricultural products  during the period between 1995-2012.

  United States of America 
 The name of the export financing support program is the CCC Export Credit Guarantee 
(GSM-102) Program.13 
Annex 
 The GSM-102 program falls within category (b). 
 The GSM-102 program is operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 
category (c) Government agency, through the Commodity Credit Corporation, a 
federally chartered corporation within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 
 Program Description : The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Export Credit 
Guarantee Program (GSM-102) provides credit guarantees in connection with financing of commercial exports of U.S. agricultural products. The GSM-102 program  guarantees 
credit extended by the private banking sector  in the United States (or, less commonly, 
by the U.S. exporter) to approved foreign banks using dollar-denominated, irrevocable 
letters of credit for purchases of U.S. food and agricultural products by foreign buyers. 
USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) administers the program on behalf of the 
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), which issues the credit guarantees. GSM-102 
currently covers credit terms of up to tw o years; maximum terms may vary by country. 
CCC guarantees payments due from approved foreign banks to exporters or financial 
institutions in the United States. However, the financing must be obtained through normal commercial sources. Typically, 98 perc ent of principal and a portion of interest 
are covered by a guarantee.  
 An attachment is provided with the total annual value of exports of agricultural products 
under the GSM-102 program for the period of U.S. Fiscal Year 2000 through 2012. 
 More information regarding the GSM-102 program can be obtained at 
http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/ecgp.asp  
                                               
13 No data has been provided on the GSM-103 or Supplier Credit Guarantee Programs because these 
programs are no longer operational. The GSM-103 Progra m ceased operating as of July 2005, and the Supplier 
Credit Guarantee Program ceased operation as of October 2005. Statutory authority for both programs has been eliminated. TN/AG/S/27

  PART C - AGRICULTURAL EXPORTING STATE TRADING ENTERPRISES 
27. This part provides information on agricultural exporting state trading enterprises (STEs). 
28. In the absence of any notification procedure in  relation to such entities under the Committee 
on Agriculture, the information is based on the most recent notifications submitted by Members up to 15 March 2013 pursuant to Article XVII:4(a) of the GATT 1994 and Paragraph 
1 of the Understanding on the interpretation of  Article XVII under the auspices of the Working 
Party on State Trading Enterprises. 
29. The Secretariat identified first those STEs covering totally or partially agricultural products.
14 
30. For these STEs, the Secretariat then summarized the information contained in the notifications 
to the Working Party on State Trading Ente rprises, according to the rubrics of the 
questionnaire on State Trading (document G/STR/3/Rev.1 dated 14 November 2003). 
31. The following categories are used: 
"I. ENUMERATION OF STATE TRADING ENTERPRISES 
A. Identification of state trading enterprises. B. Description of products affected  
(Including tariff item number(s) encompassed in product description).  
II. REASON AND PURPOSE 
A. Reason or purpose for establishing and/or maintaining state trading enterprise. 
B. Summary of legal basis for granting the relevant exclusive or special rights or 
privileges, including legal provisions and summary of statutory or constitutional powers. 
III. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE STATE TRADING ENTERPRISE 
A. Summary statement providing overview of operations of the state trading enterprise. 
B. Specification of exclusive or special rights or privileges enjoyed by the state trading 
enterprise." 
32. In the cases where the information contained in the Members' notifications to the Working 
Party on State Trading Enterprises did not fit exactly in these categories, the Secretariat made 
some assumptions under its own responsibility on how to incorporate this information, taking into account Members' comments, if any. 
33. Agricultural exporting STEs were then distinguished from other agricultural STEs, with 
Agricultural exporting STEs being understood for the purpose of this information exercise as 
                                               
14 According to available information, the following Members have notified such STEs covering totally or 
partially agricultural products: Australia (G/STR/N/14/AUS/Rev.1), Barbados (G/STR/N/11/BRB and 
G/STR/N/12/BRB), Brazil (G/STR/N/3/BRA), Canada (G/STR/N/14/CAN), Chile (G/STR/N/14/CHL), China (G/STR/N/9/CHN and G/STR/N/9/CHN/Add.1), Colombia (G/STR/N/14/COL), Dominica (G/STR/N/4/DMA, G/STR/N/5/DMA and G/STR/N/6/DMA), European Un ion (G/STR/N/13/EU and G/STR/N/14/EU), Fiji 
(G/STR/N/4/FJI), Grenada (G/STR/N/13/GRD), Iceland (G/STR/N/5/ISL), India (G/STR/N/14/IND), Indonesia (G/STR/N/11/IDN; and G/STR/N/12/IDN), Israel (G/STR/N/1/ISR/Rev.1), Japan (G/STR/N/14/JPN), Jordan (G/STR/N/9/JOR), Korea (G/STR/N/14/KOR), Malaysia  (G/STR/N/10/MYS), Mauritius (G/STR/N/8/MUS), 
Morocco (G/STR/N/1/MAR), New Zealand (G/STR/N/14/NZL), Oman (notification of an entity not considered by Oman as being a state trading enterprise according to  article XVII of GATTT 1994 and the Understanding on 
interpretation of article XVII - G/STR/N/9/OMN), Philippines (G/STR/N/4/PHL; G/STR/N/5/PHL; G/STR/N/6/PHL; and G/STR/N/7/PHL), St Vincent and the Grenadines (G/STR/N/4/VCT; G/STR/N/5/VCT; and G/STR/N/6/VCT), Switzerland (G/STR/N/14/CHE), Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and 
Matsu (G/STR/N/14/TPKM), Thailand (G/STR/N/12/ THA), Trinidad and Tobago (G/STR/N/12/TTO and 
G/STR/N/13/TTO), Tunisia (G/STR/N/8/TUN/Rev.1 ; G/STR/N/9/TUN; G/STR/N/10/TUN), Ukraine

  "governmental and non-governmental enterprise s, including marketing boards, which have 
been granted exclusive or special rights or pr ivileges, including statutory or constitutional 
powers, in the exercise of which they influence through their purchases or sales the level or 
direction of [imports or] exports.", following the working definition of paragraph 1 of the 
Understanding on the interpretation of Article XVII. 
34. The resulting summaries were sent to the concerned Members for verification, including in 
particular which STEs ought to be considered as agricultural exporting STEs for the purpose of this information exercise. The following Members replied: Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, 
China, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Mauritius, New Zealand, the 
Philippines, Switzerland, Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu and the United States of America. The informat ion contained in this document reflects these 
replies. 
35. This information exercise undertaken following a specific request made in the context of the 
Special Session of the Committee on Agriculture, should in no way be considered to substitute or interfere with the rights and obligations under the normal notification process in the 
framework of the Working Group on State Trading Enterprises. 
36. Of the current 159 Members, 16 have notified a total of 52 agricultural exporting STEs 
according to the methodology described above. These Members are listed in Table 3 below.

  38. In case an agricultural exporting STE covers a product or a group of products belonging to 
more than one of the so-defined groups, it was classified under the "all agricultural products" 
group.
