"Agree[d] that Annex VII(b) to the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures includes the Members that are listed therein until their GNP per capita reachesUS $1,000 in constant 1990 dollars for three consecutive years.  This decision will enter
into effect upon the adoption by the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures of an appropriate methodology for calculating constant 1990 dollars.  If,
however, the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures does not reach a
consensus agreement on an appropriate methodology by 1 January 2003, themethodology proposed by the Chairman of the Committee set forth in G/SCM/38,
Appendix 2 shall be applied.  A Member shall not leave Annex VII(b) so long as its GNP
per capita in current dollars has not reached US $1000 based upon the most recent data
from the World Bank."
20. Pursuant to this paragraph, as of 1 January 2003, the methodology set forth in document
G/SCM/38, Appendix 2, applies.  As foreseen in paragraph 10.1 of the Implementation Decision and in

IN ANNEX VII(B)
A. ADOPTION OF DECISIONS GRANTING EXTENSIONS FOR 2003 UNDER ARTICLE 27.4 OF THE 
AGREEMENT OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD FOR THE ELIMINATION OF EXPORT SUBSIDIES
21. Pursuant to Article 27.4 of the Agreement, developing country Members subject to the eight-year
transition period in Article 27.2(b) for the elimination of export subsidies (which period expired 31
December 2002), had the possibility, not later than 31 December 2001, to enter into consultations with the
Committee to seek extension of this transition period, if those Members deemed it necessary to applysuch subsidies beyond the eight-year period.
22. Paragraph 10.6 of Implementation Decision states:
"Having regard to the particular situation of certain developing-country Members, directsG/L/655
Page 5
the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures to extend the transition period,
under the rubric of Article 27.4 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures, for certain export subsidies provided by such Members, pursuant to the
procedures set forth in document G/SCM/39.  Furthermore, when considering a request
for an extension of the transition period under the rubric of Article 27.4 of the Agreementon Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and in order to avoid that Members at similar
stages of development and having a similar order of magnitude of share in world trade
are treated differently in terms of receiving such extensions for the same eligible
programmes and the length of such extensions, directs the Committee to extend the
transition period for those developing countries, after taking into account the relative
competitiveness in relation to other developing-country Members who have requested
extension of the transition period following the procedures set forth in documentG/SCM/39."
23. At its special meetings of 8 and 22 November and 13 December 2002 (G/SCM/M/44), and 13 and
19 December 2002 (G/SCM/M/45), the Committee continued its consideration of the requests for
extensions of the transition period, pursuant to Article 27.4, in respect of certain export subsidyprogrammes of twenty-one Members.
