A further regular meeting is scheduled for 21 November 2007. 
2. In accordance with Article 18.1 of the Agreemen t on Agriculture ("the Agreement"), at each 
of these meetings the Committee reviewed progress in  the implementation of commitments negotiated 
under the Uruguay Round reform programme.  This review process was undertaken on the basis of 
notifications submitted by Members in the areas of market access, domestic support and export 
subsidies.2  In total, 100 notifications in these areas were subject to review by the Committee.  At each 
of its meetings, the Committee also reviewed the overall position with respect to compliance with the 
notification obligations under Article 18.2 and othe r relevant provisions of the Agreement.  The 
current situation regarding the significant number of  overdue notifications, notably in the domestic 
support area, was underlined.   A document showing th e current status of compliance with notification 
requirements is annexed to this report.   
3. The Committee addressed a wide range of gene ral and specific matters relevant to the 
implementation of commitments that were raised independently of notifications under the provisions 
of Article 18.6 of the Agreement. 
4. The follow-up to the Decision on Measures C oncerning the Possible Negative Effects of the 
Reform Programme on Least-Developed and Net F ood-Importing Developing Countries is monitored 
annually by the Committee on the basis, inter alia , of Table NF:1 notifications by donor Members, as 
well as contributions by the observer organizations.  Th e next monitoring exercise is to be undertaken 
at the November meeting of the Committee.  The WTO list of Net Food-Importing Developing 
Countries3 remains unchanged as no new application has been  received since 2005.
