1. The Committee on Agriculture held its fifty-ninth regular meeting on 23 September 2010 
under the Chairmanship of Ms. Valeria Csukasi of Uruguay. 
2. The agenda of the meeting as set out in  WTO/AIR/3607 of 13 September 2010 was adopted 
with the addition of two questions by Brazil (i) to the United States relating to notification G/AG/N/USA/74 in the context of the special safeguard
2 and, (ii) to Switzerland relating to 
notification G/AG/N/CHE/49 in the context of domestic support commitments.3 
I. ELECTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON 
3. At its meeting on 23 March 2010, the Council fo r Trade in Goods nominated Ms. Valeria 
Csukasi as Chairperson of the Comm ittee on Agriculture until March 2011.4  The Committee elected 
Ms. Csukasi of Uruguay as Chairperson by acclamation in accordance with its Rules of Procedure. 
II. THE REVIEW PROCESS 
A. MATTERS RELEVANT TO THE IMPLEMEN TATION OF COMMITMENTS UNDER THE REFORM 
PROGRAMME :  ARTICLE 18.6 
4. Specific points were raised in respect of th e EU's proposed rescheduling of its domestic 
support and export subsidy commitments as a result of expansion to 25 and 27 member States;  
Ukraine's proposed "temporary agricultural fee";  Canada's trade-restrictive measures on dairy 
products, and Argentina's application of "certifi cates of free circulation" and certain food import 
distribution practices.  In line with the decision taken at the November 2009 meeting of the Committee, the detailed questions as well as res ponses thereto made available in writing were 
compiled in documents G/AG/W/77 and G/AG/W/78, respectively.
5  Any follow-up comments are 
reflected below. 
5. Argentina supported Australia's view that the pe nding question of the EU's rescheduling of its 
subsidy commitments would need to be resolved.  The EU referred to past statements and answers 
supplied in connection with this matter and re iterated its willingness to continue engaging in 
substantial discussions for transparency purposes.

  6. While appreciating the clarification provided by  Ukraine on the internal process with respect 
to the proposed "temporary agricultural fee", Canada  looked forward to any additional information in 
the event implementation steps were considered.  The United States registered interest in this issue. 
7. Australia and the United States expressed their inte rest in Canada's policies in the dairy sector 
while the EU, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United St ates flagged that close attention would be paid 
to the developments regarding Argentina's applicati on of "certificates of free circulation".  Both the 
United States and the EU referred to the discussions  held in the Committee for Trade in Goods in 
July 2010 and encouraged Argentina to take steps to  ensure that imports were not hindered.  The EU 
and Mexico reported that consignments were bei ng held up unduly at customs thus having a chilling 
effect on trade.  The United States also looked fo rward to receiving a response concerning Argentina's 
reported practices regarding certa in imports in grocery stores.

8. Emphasizing its general interest in trade measu res not running counter to multilateral trade 
rules, the EU undertook to monitor closely all areas with respect to which all of the above concerns 
had been raised. 
B. REVIEW OF NOTIFICATIONS  
(a) Notifications in respect of which questions have been raised in advance of the issuance of the 
convening airgram  
9. Since the 10 March session, 96 notifications had been circulated by the Secretariat.  The 
Committee reviewed the notifications as listed in the ag enda.  All specific points raised with respect to 
these notifications, and responses thereto supplied in  writing, are compiled in documents G/AG/W/77 
and G/AG/W/78, respectively.  Any follow-up comments are reflected below. 
10. The EU reserved the right to make further comments on Brazil's Table DS:1 (BRA/26) in 
future.  The United States encouraged Brazil, Chin a, as well as other important agricultural producing 
Members, to catch up with their notification obligatio ns in the domestic support area.  Australia stated 
that it would continue to analyse China's domes tic support programmes with a view to determining 
their conformity with Green Box requirements, and looked forward to receiving China's outstanding 
domestic support notifications for the period 2005 to 2009.  With respect to China's environmental 
programmes, the EU asked who the payments were  disbursed to.  The United States sought further 
clarification as to why the eight programmes under "G eneral services" were considered by China as 
fitting the Green Box criteria. 
11. Canada, the EU, New Zealand and the United States expressed appreciation for Costa Rica's 
transparency, both in supplying notifications and in clarifying the reasons why AMS commitments 
were breached.  New Zealand, Thailand, the Un ited States and Uruguay voiced concerns at what 
appeared to be an increasing trajectory in AMS breach by Costa Rica.  While the Current Total AMS 
initially notified was slightly above its bound limit, th e most recent submission showed that the excess 
was almost six fold.  Observing that  after peaking in 2008, world rice prices had declined by a fair 
amount, the United States considered that support pr ices should have also been brought down in order 
to ensure compliance.  Australia commended Costa Rica for the steps taken domestically to address 
the issue and looked forward to examining the figures on the value of rice production.  New Zealand and the United States reiterated that, for the WTO trading system to work effectively, all Members 
had to adhere to their commitments, whether domestic  or trade agricultural policies were considered.  
Canada felt that the results of the steps taken to  address the on-going breach had yet to materialize and 
                                                     
 
6 In a communication dated 29 October 2010 to the Secretariat and to the United States, Argentina 
confirmed that it had already addressed the point raised by the United States through the responses it facilitated 
during the meeting (paragraph 4 of G/AG/W/78 refers).   G/AG/R/59 
 Page 3 
 
 
  looked forward to obtaining more information on the reforms that would be effectively undertaken by 
Costa Rica in the months ahead.  Pakistan hoped that the present review would be helpful to 
Costa Rica in reforming its domestic policy.  The EU declared its interest in this matter. 
12. Australia welcomed the submission of outstanding notifications by EU member States from 
the period prior to their accession to the EU (CZE/ 57/Rev.1 and POL/66).  Au stralia appreciated the 
transparency in notifying Poland's breach of its export subsidy outlay commitments for powder milk 
in year 2002 but reiterated the reinforced need fo r timely notifications so that, whenever breaches 
occurred, these could at least be discussed in the Committee and practical reforms could be 
undertaken.  Australia also flagged that it would con tinue reviewing the situation with regard to the 
domestic support programmes notified by Switzerla nd (CHE/49) in order to determine their 
compliance with the relevant Green Box criteria, in  particular how concentrated fruit juice fitted the 
food security requirements set out in paragraph 3 to Annex 2 of the Agreement on Agriculture.  
Australia also suggested that a Table DS:2 notifi cation be submitted by Urug uay with respect to the 
new or modified programmes for which exempti on from reduction commitments had been claimed 
(URY/39). 
(b) Notifications subject to review in respect of wh ich no questions have been raised in advance 
of the issuance of the convening airgram  
13. The Committee took note of the notifications whic h had been circulated in advance of the 
date on which the notice convening the present mee ting was issued, but in respect of which no 
questions had been raised by that date unde r the Committee's Working Procedures.  These 
notifications are listed in Annex 1. 
(c) Notifications circulated or made available after the date on which the notice convening the 
present meeting was issued  
14. Two notifications from the United States were s ubject to preliminary review, i.e. one Table 
MA:2 and one Table NF:1.7  These notifications will be reverted  to for substantive review at the 
November 2010 meeting, in accordance with paragr aph 9 of the Committee's Working Procedures. 
(d) Points concerning notifications raised at previous meetings  
15. The Chairperson recalled that delegations have the possibility to inform the Committee of the 
outcome of discussions which are of general interest , but which may have been pursued bilaterally as 
a result of the review of notifications.  Th ere was no discussion under this agenda item. 
(e) Counter-notifications  
16. The Committee took note that no counter-notif ications had been received under Article 18.7 
of the Agreement on Agriculture. 
(f) Deferred replies to questions raised under the Review Process  
17. The Chairperson recalled that WTO/AIR/3602 co ntained a reminder concerning outstanding 
responses to questions raised under the Review Process.  As agreed in March 1997, where a 
delegation undertook to provide detailed replies to questions raised under the Review Process, such 
deferred replies should be furnished, in writing, to  the delegation raising the matter normally within 
thirty days of the meeting concerned, with c opies being made available to other Members having 
expressed an interest in the matte r, as well as to the Secretariat.

Page 4  
 
  18. In view of the Committee's decision in Novemb er 2009 to have all replies supplied in writing 
compiled in one single document, the Secretariat had issued four revisions to document G/AG/W/75 between March and August 2010 to take account of re plies that were associated with the March 2010 
Review Process.  In future, the Secretariat would incorporate any deferred replies along the same lines 
so that one single compilation per Committee me eting would be produced.  As far as reviews 
undertaken prior to March 2010  are concerned, the Chairperson observed that any deferred replies 
received by the Secretariat would continue to be reflected in the summary reports.  No delegation 
objected to the proposed general practice. 
(g) Overdue notifications
 
19. Document G/AG/GEN/86/Rev.3 dated 23 September 2010, showing the current status of 
compliance with notification obligations, was made available.  Australia raised questions to the 
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, China, Egypt, India, Korea, Turkey and the United States and 
underlined the need for transparency through compliance with notification obligations.  The 
significant steps taken in the Committee in recent months to address some of these concerns were 
recognized.  The full points raised and responses thereto, provided in writing, are compiled in 
documents G/AG/W/77 and G/AG/W/78, respectively.  Any follow-up comments are reflected below. 
20. Australia appreciated the submission of overdue  notifications by the Bolivarian Republic of 
Venezuela and the United States and welcomed the news on the imminent completion of the 
preparation of notifications by India whilst exp ecting that these would be submitted shortly.  With 
respect to Egypt's difficulties with data collection for earlier reporting periods, Australia reiterated the 
need to keep up to speed with notifications. 
21. Barbados noted the importance it attached to the fulfilment of notification obligations and 
advised on the preparation of some draft submissi ons which were being reviewed by the competent 
authorities.  Barbados further indicated that notif ications workshops were very helpful in better 
understanding the requirements but considered that capacity constraints had to also be taken into 
account. 
III. OTHER MATTERS WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE COMMITTEE 
A. ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COUNCIL FOR TRADE IN GOODS (CTG) 
22. In line with past practice, a draft factual re port for the CTG on the work undertaken by the 
Committee in the course of 2010 had been circulated  before the meeting in order to facilitate 
Members' consideration of this matter.  The Secr etariat had received one observation on it before the 
meeting.  The Committee took note of the draft report and agreed that, after updating as appropriate, it 
would be submitted to the CTG on the Chairperson's responsibility.8 
B. IMPLEMENTATION -RELATED ISSUES9 
23. In advance of the meeting, the Compendium of Documents on Implementation-Related Issues  
had been updated to take account of the relevant documents circ ulated since 5 March 2010, the 
participation of the WTO Secretariat in the D ublin dialogue in May 2010 on the updating of the 
Comprehensive Framework for Action of the UN High Level Task Force for the Global Food Security 
Crisis;  and the developments in the Food Ai d Committee meeting held on 4 June 2010 in London.10

  24. Argentina stated that, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 10.1 of the Agreement on 
Agriculture, the establishment of additional and sp ecific disciplines on export credits, export credit 
guarantees and insurance programmes remained an  outstanding implementation issue resulting from 
the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture.  Suppor ted by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 
Cuba and Ecuador, Argentina therefore requested th at this item be retained on the agenda of the 
Committee on Agriculture in regular session. 
C. FOLLOW -UP: IMPROVEMENT OF TIMELINESS AND CO MPLETENESS OF NOTIFICATIONS AND 
OTHER INFORMATION FLOWS ON TRADE MEASURES (G/AG/GEN/83,  G/AG/GEN/85,  
G/AG/GEN/91) 
25. With reference to Annex 5 of the summary report of the 58th regular meeting, the Chairperson 
noted that progress had been made in the implementa tion of various items since the last meeting of the 
Committee in March 2010.  The action plans in itially drawn up for the Committee and for the 
Secretariat were considered. 
1. Action plan by the Committee on Agriculture: Best Practices  
26. Members took note of document G/AG/W/73/Re v.2 circulated on 6 September 2010 which 
consolidated the discussions to date with respect  to "best practices" in preparing and reviewing 
notifications.  Some participants had expressed th e view that experience sharing among Members in 
the field of institutional capacity building (e.g . setting up internal communication mechanisms and 
structures;  developing in-house training courses fo r incoming officials;  designating focal points at 
national level; etc.) was not an action point directly falling within the purview of the Committee on Agriculture itself.  It was therefore understood that Members would be acting on their own individual 
initiative to share experiences on that front. 
27. The Chairperson underlined that, while there ha d not been sufficient basis for endorsing any 
of the 26 suggestions so far, there was broad con sensus on the scope of the exercise (i.e. existing 
notification requirements and formats);  the voluntary nature of such "best practices";  and the need to 
balance "timeliness" vs. "completeness".  The Chai rperson suggested that the door be left open for 
further informal consultations to take place at the appropriate stage so as to consider how best to 
proceed on this matter. 
2. Action plan by the Secretariat  
(a) Technical assistance and training 
 
(i) Geneva-based Workshops on Agriculture Notifications 
28. The Secretariat informed Members that a seri es of specialized Work shops on Agriculture 
Notifications had been launched in Geneva.  Thes e covered notifications pr ocedures and obligations 
in detail through lectures, practical exercises a nd case studies on the five areas covered by the 
transparency provisions of the Agreement on Agri culture.  A first module in English, with the 
participation of 33 capital-based officials, was held back-to-back with the September Committee 
meeting.11  The Spanish and French modules would be  delivered in November 2010 and March 2011 
respectively, on the sidelines of each Committee meeti ng, with invitations for the latter module to be 
sent out towards the end of October 2010.  As part of the biennial WTO TA Plan, similar workshops 
in the three languages would be organized in 2011. 
                                                      
11 At the request of a number of delegations, the Wo rkshop materials were subsequently posted on the 
Members' password protected website. G/AG/R/59

  29. Barbados, Brazil, China, the EU, India, Jamaica, Pakistan and the United States commended 
the Secretariat for the hard work devoted in organizing and conducting the September 2010 Workshop.  Brazil expressed appreciation for the pr actical approach towards the subjects covered.  
China and India stated having gained immensely from the workshop and hoped that the knowledge 
obtained would be helpful in fulfilling their notifica tion obligations.  Barbados, Jamaica and Pakistan 
highlighted that developing and LDCs  would continue to need such specialized technical assistance in 
future to gain a better understanding of the work in capitals; improve the quality of submissions; and 
ultimately fulfil the respective obligations.  Some Members highlighted the attrition of staff as a serious limitation. 
30. Nigeria regretted that its candidate was not re tained for participation in the September 2010 
Workshop.  The Secretariat explained that ITTC 's newly implemented selection guidelines had been 
observed.  Moreover, in view of the number of applications received, preference was given to 
English-speaking capital-based officials who were  already responsible for the preparation of 
notifications and who had successfully complete d the on-line WTO eTraining course on Agriculture, 
as specified in the invitation letter to all Heads of Delegations.  The Secretariat indicated that 
interested English-speaking candidates would have a fu rther opportunity to participate in this type of 
activity, most probably in June 2011. 
31. Pakistan, echoed by China, pointed to the need  for specialized technical assistance geared to 
improving LDCs' level of understandi ng of notifications submitted by other Members, and to the 
Review Process itself.  In support of its view, Paki stan compared the size of LDCs' agricultural GDP 
(around 70 per cent) to their weak level of participation in the Review Process.   
(ii) Handbook on Notification Requirements  
32. A Handbook on Notification Requirements  under the Agreement on Agriculture had been 
recently circulated to all WTO delegations in the la nguage of their choice.  Electronic versions in all 
three official languages were downloadable from the public WTO website.  The Handbook had also 
been distributed to all the participants attending the English-speaking September technical assistance 
activity.  The Handbook would be re gularly updated to take account of additional observations and 
suggestions by end-users. 
33. Australia, India and Canada expressed their appreciation to the Secretariat for having 
produced an illustrative and comprehensive Handbook.  In their view, such contribution had resulted 
in an excellent learning tool and the provision of additional copies for perusal by junior analysts in capitals would be useful.  Reference was also made to the informal contribution by the Cairns Group 
on the review of notifications which remains available for consultation on the WTO Members' 
website. 
(iii) E-learning modules 
34. A new self-teaching e-learning module on notification requirements was equally made 
available on the public WTO website.  Howe ver, the development of a full-fledged eTraining module 
on the same topic but incorporating user support feat ures would remain subject to financial constraints 
in the medium- to long-term.  G/AG/R/59 
 Page 7 
 
 
  (b) Data requirements  
(i) Database on questions and answers supplied by  Members since 1995 in the context of the 
Review Process; and online submission of notifica tions by Members to the Central Registry of 
Notifications (CRN) 
35. The Secretariat confirmed that the developmen t of the electronic archiving system for the 
Review Process as well as the on-line notification system were approved and included in the 
IT Strategic Plan for 2011.  Consequently, the two da tabases effectively formed part and parcel of the 
AGCD's own internal work programme for 2011.  Di scussions on the structure of the first database 
would probably be initiated towards the end of 2010.  Members would continue to be informed of the 
progress achieved in the development of both projects, as appropriate. 
36. Australia, the EU, Canada and Norway stressed th e particular importance they accorded to the 
development of the database documenting the Review Process and looked forward to using it.  This 
tool would contribute to improving the quality of  the Review Process and would give a sense of 
continuity over the implementation period, wh ile making some patterns more visible.  The 
Chairperson reiterated her invitation to  delegations to contact the Secretariat directly and to share their 
experience in designing similar databases. 
(ii) Datasets on notified information 
37. The Secretariat drew the Committee's attention to  the availability of updated datasets in Excel 
format on domestic support (Table DS:1);  tariff ra te quotas (Table MA:2);  annual recourse to the 
special safeguard (Table MA:5);  and export subsid ies (Table ES:1) on the public WTO website.  The 
datasets captured all the information circulated th rough notifications issued up to 30 August 2010. 
(c) Concluding remarks  
38. The Secretariat advised that direct feedback  from end-users, whether Geneva- or capital-
based officials, would be welcomed with a vi ew to improving the newly-developed tools and 
assessing their relevance.  Similarly, it was e xpected that the 2010/2011 cycles of specialized 
notifications-related training events would allow the Secretariat to further test such material and 
incorporate participants' experiences in the ela boration of future tools (e.g. exercise booklets, 
Handbook, CD-ROMs, etc.). 
39. Australia praised the efforts undertaken by the Secretariat to register progress on the agreed  
Work Programme overall, and noted that its implemen tation had been beneficial.  Australia, the EU 
and the United States also commended the Secretaria t's work in screening incoming notifications and 
providing substantive comments to notifying Members,  prior to their finalization and subsequent 
circulation. 
40. The Chairperson suggested that, in light of pr ogress achieved so far in implementing nearly 
all the action points originally listed in the Work  Programme since 2009, a statistical analysis be 
undertaken by the Secretariat to evaluate whether compliance levels had improved, both in terms of 
numbers of notifying Members and covered notifica tion areas.  Argentina and the EU supported the 
Chairperson's proposal.  Argentina found it partic ularly timely and necessary in view of the overall 
objective of "timeliness and completeness" as mandate d by the Chairman of the General Council.  
The EU recommended further that relevant basic indi cators in percentage terms be inserted in the 
future compliance reports.12  In Nigeria's view, analyzing the correlation between the efficacy of the 
workshop and the timeliness of notifications would be  appropriate, while the situation faced by each

  Member could be addressed on a case-by-case basis,  perhaps through a questionnaire.  While India 
cautioned against taking a purely mathematical appr oach to the exercise, Barbados, supported by 
Norway, suggested that both qualitative and quantitative criteria might be exploited.  In view of this 
initial exchange of ideas, the Chairperson concluded th at it might be useful to consider this proposal 
again at the November session of the Committee. 
D. R
ENEWAL OF AD HOC OBSERVER STATUS TO INTER -AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR 
AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION (IICA) 
41. The Chairperson recalled the Committee's decision in March 2010 to grant ad hoc  observer 
status to IICA13 and the need for invitations in this case to  be therefore be extended on a meeting-by-
meeting basis.  The Committee agreed  to invite IICA to participate in the November 2010 regular 
session as ad hoc  observer.  A representative of IICA conveyed a message of appreciation from 
IICA's Director General for the trust and conf idence placed upon the Institute in granting it ad hoc  
observer status. 
E. OTHER BUSINESS  
1. Communication by IICA 
42. A contribution by IICA was circulated in document G/AG/GEN/92 dated 13 September 2010, 
outlining IICA's work plan of activities to be de veloped with the Committee on Agriculture and the 
WTO Institute for Training and Technical Coopera tion (ITTC).  IICA briefly introduced the paper 
which covered IICA's history, mission, vision, memb ership, network, objectives, work plan, as well as 
the proposed short-term and medium-term actions (2010-2011).14  In addition, several copies of IICA 
publications were made available to interested Members. 
2. Provisional schedule of meetings for 2011 
43. According to the Committee's rules of procedure,  regular meetings of the Committee are to be 
held in March, September and November.  The date s for each regular meeting would continue to be 
confirmed at the preceding meeting of the Committee.  The question of whether there was a need for a 
regular meeting in June 2011 w ould be determined by the Chairperson following the March 2011 
meeting in consultation with Members.  The Committee took note of the provisional schedule of 
meetings for 2011 as follows: 
(a) [31] March 2011;  
(b) [23] June 2011;  
(c) [29] September 2011;  and  
(d) [17] November 2011. 
3. Date of next regular meeting and reminder of upcoming agenda 
44. The next (60th) regular meeting of the Committee on Agri culture is scheduled to be held on 
18 November 2010.  On this basis, the reminder airgram will be issued on 29 October 2010 and the 
convening airgram will be issued on 8 November 2010.

  45. The Chairperson recalled that the Compendium of Documents on Implementation-Related 
Issues would be consolidated15, and that the Secretariat's note on the Implementation of the Decision 
on Measures Concerning the Possible Negative Effects of the Reform Programme of Least-Developed and Net Food Importing Developing  Countries would be updated.
16  The Chairperson invited 
Members as well as observers to contribute to the fo rthcoming discussions on the latter orally or in 
writing. 
46. The Chairperson drew Members' attention to the statistical data contained in document 
G/AG/W/76 which was intended to facilitate her info rmal consultations on the list of "significant 
exporters" for the purposes of the Table ES:2 notifi cation requirement, in advance of the November 
meeting.  That document would also serve as a b asis for the annual consultations under Article 18.5 of 
the Agreement on Agriculture, with respect to Member s' participation in the normal growth of world 
trade in agricultural products within the frame work of the commitments on export subsidies.
