Special Session
MEMBERS' USAGE OF DOMESTIC SUPPORT CATEGORIES,
EXPORT SUBSIDIES AND EXPORT CREDITS
Background Paper by the Secretariat
1. At the first Special Session of the Committee on Agriculture on 23-24 March 2000, it was
agreed that the Secretariat would provide, inter alia , "a table showing Members' usage of domestic
support categories, export subsidies and export credits in a common currency" (paragraph 7(a) of
G/AG/NG/1.
2. The present paper provides the requested information on the basis of domestic support and
export subsidy notifications circulated up to 18 May 2000.  It also provides information regarding
export credits that was received by the Secretariat.1
3. Tables 1 to 5 show Members' usage of domestic support categories, export subsidies and
export credits for the implementation years 1995 to 1999, respectively.  Table 6 provides the sameinformation but in a different format.
4. Total domestic support is broken down into the following categories: Green Box; S & D Box
(i.e. support under the special and differential treatment provisions of Article 6.2 of the Agreement on
Agriculture); Blue Box; support measures in  favour of agricultural producers within de minimis
levels;  and the Current Total AMS.  Export subsidies are presented as Members' total notified export
subsidies, i.e. aggregate budgetary outlays for all agricultural products and product groups concerned.
The export credit information received to date by the Secretariat comprised five nil usage returns.The responses by the Members concerned (Chile, New Zealand, Slovenia, Switzerland and
Zimbabwe) are reflected in the tables and are reproduced in Attachment 1.

5. The term "implementation year" refers to the re levant calendar, financial or marketing year.
In cases where Members have notified on the basis of implementation years other than the calendar
year, this has been annotated in Attachment 2 to this paper.
                                                     
1  In a faxed communication by the Secretariat dated 10 April 2000 Members were invited to provide,
for the purposes of the table referred to above, information concerning export credits.  Specifically, pendingfurther discussions of the data that might be required in this area, those Members which were in a position to doso were invited to provide data on, or estimates of, total annual budgetary outlays and revenue foregone (foreach year of the implementation period for which such data are currently available) in connection with
subsidized export credits provided by governments, or fi nanced by virtue of governmental action, in respect of
exports of agricultural products.  For this purpose,  export credits would include direct credits/financing,
refinancing, interest rate support, as well as export credit insurance and guarantees.
In a supplementary request dated 9 June 2000 Members were also invited to provide information on the
value of exports of agricultural products which benefited from officially supported export credits, for inclusionin an addendum to the present document.
2  The replies received from Slovenia and Zimbabwe were taken to imply a nil return for the whole
period 1995 to 1999.G/AG/NG/S/12
Page 2
6. Where domestic support and export subsidies were notified in national currency, the data
were converted into US dollars as a common currency, using the exchange rates as reported by the
IMF in "International Financial Statistics" (March 2000) or notified by Members.  Attachment 2
provides information with respect to the exchange rates that were applied.
7. The following symbols have been used:
"blank" country was not a Member in the year concerned
"na" not applicable
"-" no notification received
".." no information.
It may be noted that the symbol "-" has been used to state the fact that no domestic support or export
subsidy notification has been received for the implementation year in question, regardless of whether
or not a notification was due.G/AG/NG/S/12
