NOTIFICATION 
The following submission, dated 30 December 2015, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Israel . The notification concerns export subsidy commitments ( Tables ES:1 
and ES:2 ) for the calendar years 2005, 2006,  2013 and 2014 . 
  
_______________ 
  Note: In this notification the reporting period is on a Julian calendar year basis, which is a change 
from previous notifications that were on an Oct-Sept Jewish calendar year basis. This change in approach has been adopted as actual records are kept according to the Julian calendar year. For the year 2004 no quarterly records are available for Oct-Dec. For 2013, the subsidies provided 
during Oct-Dec 2012 have been added to the year’s total.
