UNITED STATES – DOMESTIC SUPPORT AND EXPORT CREDIT GUARANTEES
FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

Request for the Establishment of a Panel by Brazil

 The following communication, dated 8 November 2007, from the delegation of Brazil to the
Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 6.2 of the DSU.

Agreement on Agriculture . While the discussions were useful and clarified a number of issues, they
did not resolve Brazil's serious concerns regard ing the Current Total Aggregate Measurement of
Support provided by the United States. Accordingl y, my authorities have now instructed me to
request the establishment of a panel.
2. Pursuant to Articles 4, 6, and 7.1 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing
the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), Article XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
1994 ("GATT 1994"), and Article 19 of the Agreement on Agriculture , Brazil requests that the
Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") establish a panel with standard terms of refe rence to consider the
following matter:
That the United States' Current Total Aggregate Measurement of Support has
exceeded its commitment levels in each of the years
1 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004
and 2005, contrary to Article 3.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture.
3. Pursuant to Article 3.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture, the United States committed to limit
its Total Aggregate Measurement of Support to the annua l levels specified in section I of Part IV of
Schedule XX of the United States: for the year 1999, USD 19,899.264 million and for each
subsequent year, USD 19,103.294 million. Despite th is, the United States' Current Total Aggregate
Measurement of Support provided by the measures at issue, when properly calculated in accordance
with the provisions of the Agreement on Agriculture , has exceeded its commitment levels in each of
the years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005, in viol ation of Article 3.2 of this agreement. These
violations nullify or impair the benefits accruing to Brazil under this agreement.
4. The domestic support measures 2 at issue comprise those listed in the Annex, which forms an
integral part of this request. These measures in clude (a) domestic support measures identified by the

G/AG/N/USA/58, and G/AG/N/USA/59 (the "Notifications");
3 and (b) domestic support measures not
identified in the Notifications that are not pr operly exempted from the United States' reduction
commitments. The measures further include any othe r legislation, regulations and other instruments
not listed in the Annex, by which any of the support under the listed measures was provided.
5. Brazil asks that this request for the establishm ent of a panel be placed on the agenda of the
DSB meeting scheduled for 19 November 2007.
