TOTAL AGGREGATE MEASUREMENT OF SUPPORT 
 
Note by the Secretariat1 
 
Revision  
 
 
1. This Revision replaces the Secretariat's Note on "Total Aggregate Measurement of Support" 
(TN/AG/S/13/Add.3) in order to eliminate the conf usion that arose for the data of some countries2 
between the units of the Final Bound Total AMS expressed  in US dollars and in the national currency.  
The purpose of this note is to present the Members' Final Bound Total AMS in a common currency. 
2. Table 1 lists the Final Bound Total AMS by Member as scheduled and expressed in 
US dollars using exchange rates for the years 2000 to 2008.  Figures in bold print indicate the final year of the implementation period for the Member concerned. 
3. The Annex presents the exchange rates for the year s 2000 to 2008 that have been used for the 
conversion of the Final Bound Total AMS.  As expl ained in the notes in the Annex, exchange rates 
have been sourced mainly from the IMF's "International Financial Statistics".
