DE MINIMIS  SUPPORT  
 
Note by the Secretariat1 
  
1. This paper concerning the de minims  levels of domestic support has been prepared to assist in 
the negotiations of modalities in accordance with  Annex A of the General Council Decision of 
1 August 2004 ("the Agreed Framework").   
2. The present note shows product-specific and non-product-specific support as notified by 
Members in Supporting Tables DS:4 to DS:9 of th e Committee's "Notifications Requirements and 
Formats" for the years 1995 to 2003
2 and with respect of which the Member concerned claimed the de 
minimis  exemption as provided for under the provisions of Article 6.4 of the Agreement on 
Agriculture.   
3. Under Article 6.4 of the Agreement on Agricu lture, in the case of Members with Total AMS 
reduction commitments, the de minimis support in a given year can be excluded from the calculation 
of Current Total AMS which in turn must not ex ceed the scheduled Total AMS commitment level for 
that year.  As regards Members with no sche duled reduction commitments, support notified in 
Supporting Tables DS:4 to DS:9 must be maintained  within the relevant product-specific and non-
product-specific de minimis  levels.   
4. Table 1 presents the values of product-specific and non-product-specific support on which a 
Member concerned claimed the de minimis exemption.  It should be noted that product-specific 
support and/or non-product-specific support on which no de minimis  claim was made is not included 
here.3  For example, with respect to "meat of poultr y", Israel notified product-specific support in each 
year from 1995 to 2002 but only in the years 1999 to 2002 Israel designated such support as de 
minimi s.  Hence, the values of support for "meat of poultry" are only shown in the columns 
concerning the years 1999 to 2002.  As another ex ample, Switzerland-Liechtenstein did not use the de 
minimis  provision in its notifications, therefore thes e Members do not appear in any of the tables 
presented in this paper. 
5. Any product-specific support notified at zero without an explicit de minimis  claim is not 
included in Table 1.  Nevertheless, considering th at a support notified at zero would normally imply 
the de minimis  exemption, such product-specific notifications are presented in Table 4.  
                                                      
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 the paper, the term "year" refers to th e relevant calendar, financial or marketing year 
specified in the Schedule of the Memb er concerned (see also G/AG/W/2/Rev.4).    
3 In other words, a "blank" in Table 1 means that no de minimis  support was notified, but it does not 
necessary imply that there wa s no product-specific or non-product-specific support above de minimis  levels.  
For details concerning product-specific support above de minimis  levels see the Secretariat note entitled 
"Product-specific AMS" (TN/AG/S/15 refers). TN/AG/S/16 
Page 2  
 
 6. Negative figures included in this paper re present the negative support notified by the 
following Members:  the European Communities (15) , Hungary, India, Jordan, Pakistan, Poland, 
South Africa, Tunisia, Turkey, the United States a nd Venezuela.  When the Member concerned made 
an explicit de minimis  claim, such negative support is included in Table 1.  Otherwise, the negative 
values appear in Table 4.  Where negative figures appear in brackets, the Member concerned equalled 
the negative support to zero and did not include that  support in the calculation of the Current Total 
AMS in a given year (e.g., EC(15), Hungary, Ve nezuela).  Negative numbers without brackets 
indicate cases where negative support was included in  the calculation of the Current Total AMS (e.g. 
Pakistan).   
7. When the de minimis  claim is made, Members often supply the supporting data to justify this 
claim, i.e. to show that support did not exceed the relevant product-specific and/or non-product 
specific de minimis  threshold of 5 per cent for develope d country Members and 10 per cent for 
developing country Members.
4  Table 2 presents the de minimis  level reached in a given year with 
respect to each notified product by showing the product-specific de minimis  support measured as a 
percentage of the total value of production of the relevant basic ag ricultural product.  Table 3 presents 
the de minimis  level reached in a given year with respect to non-product-specific support as a 
percentage of the value of total agricu ltural production of the Member concerned. 
8. In cases where supporting data were not supplied,  the corresponding percentage share could 
not be calculated and this is shown in Tables 2 and 3 with a symbol "dm".  Also, in cases where 
product descriptions used to notify de minimis  support and those concerning the value of production 
data could not be easily matched, the symbol "dm"  is displayed but the relevant information as 
notified is included in Notes immediately below Table 2. 
9. The data concerning the total value of productio n of selected basic agricultural products and 
data concerning the value of total agricultural pr oduction as notified by Members are presented in 
Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively.  Annex 3 contains technical notes. 
10. In the following tables, product descriptions have been reproduced as notified by the Member 
concerned in the original language.  The figures are shown in the currency notified.  Due to rounding, 
in some cases small values of support are shown as  "0.0".  The information has been compiled from 
Members' notifications, including revisions, corrige nda and addenda that were circulated by the 
Secretariat up to 14 January 2005.5 
                                                      
4 In the case of some r ecently acceded Me mbers, the de minimis  threshold stipulated in Article 6.4 of 
the Agreement on Agriculture may differ.  To illustrate by way of three examples:  in the case of Armenia, the 
de minimis  threshold of 10 per cent will apply until the end of  2008 and as from 2009, it will be at 5 per cent 
(Section I of Part IV of Armenia's Schedule CLV refers).  With respect to China, the de minimis  threshold has 
been set at 8.5 per cent (paragraph 235 of the Working Party report WT/ACC/CHN/49 refers).  In the case of 
Latvia, during a transition period which expired on 1 Ja nuary 2003, the sum of product-specific and non-product-
specific domestic support up to SD R 24 million constituted Latvia's de minimis  exemption under Article 6.4(a) of 
the Agreement on Agriculture (par agraph 109 of the Working Party report WT/ACC/LVA/32 refers). 
5 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.  TN/AG/S/16

 Symbols used 
"    " (blank) indicates that no de minimis  support has been notified or that no 
notification has been circulated for the year in question  
"0" indicates that the Member notified zero de minimis  support for the product 
concerned 
"0.0" indicates a very small value of de minimis  support notified that due to 
rounding appears as zero 
"dm" indicates that the Member concerned claimed de minimis  without 
providing the relevant value of production data to support the de minimis  claim 
"n.a." indicates not applicable 
negative figures indicate negative support as notified by the Member concerned 
(Note:  Where negative figures appear in brackets, the Member concerned did not include that support in the calculation of the Current Total AMS for the relevant year)
