Note by the Secretariat
1 
 
1. At its meeting on 24 September 2009, the Committee on Agriculture requested the Secretariat 
to circulate the room document showing Members' st atus of compliance with notification obligations 
as an official and unrestricted document.  The present document will be updated and circulated by the 
Secretariat before each regular meeting of the Committee. 
2. This document shows Members' compliance with their regular2 notification obligations as at  
23 September 2009.  The time limits for all notif ications concerning the 1995-2007 implementation 
years have now passed, hence outstanding notifications  can be precisely identified for that period.  
The column concerning the 2008 implementation year is provided for information only and does not 
necessarily indicate that the notifications are now due. 
3. The document is presented in four sections: 
-  Explanatory Notes; 
 
-  Section A : Outstanding notifications for the 1995-2003 implementation years;  
-  Section B : Notifications issued for the 2004-2008 implementation years;  
 -  Section C : Table ES:3 and Table NF:1 notifications issued for the 2003-2008 
implementation years. 
 
  
                                                     
 
1 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own respon sibility and is without prejudice 
to the positions of Members or to their rights or obligations under the WTO. 
2 G/AG/2 and G/AG/2/Add.1 refer.  This docume nt therefore does not reflect the status of  ad hoc  
notification requirements, i.e. those relating to: (i) the triggering of the special safeguard provisions (Tables MA:3 and MA:4); (ii) the introduction or modification of domestic support measures for which 
exemption from reduction commitments is claimed (Table DS:2); and (iii) export prohibitions and restrictions 
(Table ER:1). G/AG/GEN/86
