  NOTIFICATION 
The following submission, dated 11 July 2014, is be ing circulated at the request of the delegation 
of Mexico . The notification concerns export subsidy commitments ( Tables ES:1 and ES:2 ) 
for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 . 
 
_______________ 
 
 Between 2008 and 2009, export subsidies were provided for wheat and maize; from 2010 to 2012, 
export subsidies were provided for wheat only. It is important to note that in 2008, the subsidies 
corresponded to production from agricultural cycles  prior to that year, but that they were granted 
until 2008 for administrative reasons. The other products subject to reduction commitments included in Part IV, Section II, of the Schedule LXXVII - Mexico did not receive any export 
subsidies in these years. 
 Please be advised that, in the context of export  subsidy commitments, Mexico did not provide any 
food aid from 2008 to 2012.

* For maize, exports in 2008 total less than the subsidized quantity  owing to the fact that subsidies were granted to productio n from the autumn-winter 2006-2007 crop season, and so maize exported in 
2007 was included in the 2008 subsidy.
