COMMENTS ON THE TABLE 
Bilateral framework (active and ongoing assistance) 
Regarding assistance from Brazil, crops are effectively includ ed in the cotton system but are not yet taken into account. 
 
As regards funding under the European Commission Commodities Pr ogramme (€15,819,124), the Programme was implemented and the pro cess 
ended two years ago. 
 
In relation to the University of Cotton, AproCA Subsidy,  a Chadian researcher is participating as an instructor. 
 France's funding for capacity building in West and Central Afri ca under the EU-Africa Partnership did not reach Chad. The fair trade and organic cotton 
programme was not implemented in Chad. 
 Details regarding funding from Switzerland, which has always  supported the C4 countries, will be provided shortly. 
 
A cotton sector support project (PAFICOT) that is currently being implemented in Chad and other C4 countries has almost reached  completion. 
   
  WT/CFMC/W/59  
- 10 - Multilateral framework (active and ongoing assistance)  
 
While the ADB continues to fund the Cotton Multinational Competit iveness Programme, the equipment needed does not meet expectat ions. 
 Agriculture-related development assist ance (active and ongoing assistance) 
 
As regards assistance that is intended for all African countries, Chad is either ill-informed, invited at the last minute to pa rticipate in the final stage 
of a programme, or simply excluded from programmes. As a result, we are not able to comment on either receipt or disbursement, let alone the differences 
between the two values. These reasons also apply to the othe r projects listed in the annexes on completed activities. 
 
However, Chad is very grateful to its bilateral and multilateral partners, which continue to contribute in one way or another t o its general development 
and in the areas of agriculture and cotton in particular. 
 
We are also grateful to China and Brazil for organizing numerous training sessions for our senior officials in the areas of agr iculture and cotton processing 
and marketing, and to India for providing multifaceted assistan ce to Chad. In doing so, these countries are fulfilling the comm itments they undertook during 
the negotiations.
