TOTAL AGGREGATE MEASUREMENT OF SUPPORT  
 
Note by the Secretariat1 
 
 
1. This paper concerning the Total Aggregate Me asurement of Support (Total AMS) has been 
prepared to assist in the negotiations of full m odalities in accordance with Annex A of the General 
Council Decision of 1 August 2004 ("the Agreed Framework"). 
2. The purpose of this note is to  show domestic support commitment  levels by Member and their 
use for the years 1995 to 2004.2  The information has been comp iled from Members' Schedules and 
notifications, including revisions, corrigenda and addenda circulated by the Secretariat up to 
14 January 2005.3 
3. Of the current 148 Members, 35 have Total AMS commitments in Section I of Part IV of 
their Schedules.4  Table 1 lists all Members with such co mmitments and shows their respective Final 
Bound Total AMS and the relevant year in which it comes into force.  Ta ble 2 compares Total AMS 
commitment levels and Current Total AMSs as no tified by Members, both in absolute and in 
percentage terms ("use").  In any year, the Curre nt Total AMS, calculated as the sum of all product-
specific and non-product-specific support subject to reduction commitment5, must not exceed the 
Total AMS commitment level bound for that year in a Member's Schedule.  Table 2 presents the use 
of Bound Total AMS commitments by Member meas ured as Current Total AM S as a percentage of 
the relevant Total AMS commitment level. 
4. As regards status of compliance with notificati on obligations in terms of Table DS:1, for the 
year 1995 all notification requirements have been  met by Members with Total AMS commitments.  
There is however a large number of outstanding notifi cations for the most recent years.  With respect 
                                                      
1 This document has been prepared under the Secret ariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice 
to the positions of Members and to their rights and obligations under the WTO. 
2 Throughout this paper, the term "year" refers to the relevant calendar, financial or marketing year 
specified in the Schedule of the Member concerned (see also G/AG/W/2/Rev.4).  It should be noted that under 
the Agreement on Agriculture, the implementation period for the developed country Members was a six-year period commencing in the year 1995 while the developing country Members have the flexibility to implement 
reduction commitments over a period of up to 10 years.  Table 2 below presents Members' Bound Total AMS 
commitments up to the year 2004, ex cept for the recently acceded Member s Lithuania and Jo rdan for whom 
reduction commitments are listed up to th e year 2005 and 2006, respectively.  
3 Additional information may have been provided by Members in the context of the Committee's 
review of implementation of commitments.  To the extent that this information has not been notified to the 
Committee, it is not reflected in the following tables. 
4 Counting the European Communities (15) and its pre-May 2004 member States ("European 
Communities") as one, and counting Switzerland-Liechtenstein as one.   
5 Under the relevant provisions of the Agreement on Agriculture, in addition to Green Box measures, 
certain other measures are not required to be included in the Current Total AMS.  They comprise certain measures of assistance which are an integral part of the development programmes of developing countries 
(Article 6.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture), de minimis  support (Article 6.4) and direct payments under 
production-limiting programmes (Article 6.5). TN/AG/S/13

 to the years 2001 and 2002, notifications from 18 and 11 Members, respectively, have been circulated 
by the cut-off date.  Although notifications for th e year 2003 are now due for virtually all Members, 
among the Members with Total AMS commitments only one such notification has so far been circulated.  The status of notifications with respect to Table DS:1 series under the Committee's 
"Notification Requirements and Formats" (G/AG/2 refe rs) is presented in Annex 1.  Annex 2 covers 
technical notes. 
5. The following symbols have been used in the tables: 
"    " (blank) indicates that no notification has been circulated for the year in question;   
"n.a." indicates not applicable.   TN/AG/S/13
