Annex VII(b) of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
Updating GNP per capita for Members listed in Annex VII(b) as foreseen in
Paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision and in accordance
with the methodology in G/SCM/38
Note by the Secretariat
Addendum
1. In paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and
Concerns (document WT/MIN(01)/17, para. 10.1) Ministers:
"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
reaches US$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, the methodology 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$1,000 based upon the most recent data from the World Bank."
2. Pursuant to this paragraph, as of 1 January 2003, the methodology set forth in document
G/SCM/38, Appendix 2 applies.
3. As foreseen in paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related
Issues and Concerns and in application of the methodology in G/SCM/38, the Secretariat informs the
Committee of updated calculations reflecting: (i) GNI1per capita in constant 1990 dollars covering
the three most recent years for which data are available (2000-2002)2; and (ii) GNI per capita in
current dollars for the year 2002.
1The World Bank data series formerly identified as Gross National Product ("GNP") is now published
as Gross National Income ("GNI"). This change reflects the implementation of the System of National
Accounts 1993 ("SNA 93"). Although the underlying concepts are different (GNP being a measure of product,
and GNI being a measure of income), the values calculated are the same.
2Figures for 1990-1999 are as already contained in G/SCM/38. As agreed in G/SCM/38, step 3, values
of GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for the period 1990 - 1999 are not modified with subsequent revisions
of the series. To derive GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for 2000, the growth rates for 2000 over 1999
at constant 1995 dollars, derived as foreseen in G/SCM/38 table B, have been applied to the 1999 GNI per
capita values in constant 1990 dollars, as set forth in G/SCM/38, table C. The same methodology has been
applied to derive the 2001 and 2002 GNI per capita values in constant 1990 dollars.G/SCM/110/Add. 1
