Committee on Agriculture    
 
AGRICULTURE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND DOCUMENTATION PRACTICES  
NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT1 
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.1.  The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) establishes the Committee on Agriculture (hereinafter 
referred as "the Committee") .2 The Committee's terms of reference, as adopted by the 
General  Council on 31 January 1995, provide that "(t)he Committee shall oversee the 
implementation of the Agreement on Agriculture. The Committee shall afford members the 
opportunity of consulting on a ny matter relating to the implementation of the provisions of the 
Agreement".34 At its first meeting in March 1995, the Committee adopted its Working Procedures .5 
The Rules of Procedure for Committee meetings, as adopted by the Council for Trade in Good s 
on 22 May 1996, are contained in G/L/142. The organization and conduct of Committee meetings 
have broadly been governed by these rules and procedures.  
1.2.  The present document compiles, and provides background to, the Committee's existing data 
automation an d practices which have significantly improved the organization and conduct of the 
Committee and its information management. A vast majority of the current information management 
and Committee documentation practices originated in the Committee's 2009 -2011 work programme 
which had been launched in response to a communication6 by the Chairman of the General Council 
to the Chairs of all WTO Councils and Committees to examine ways to improve transparency and 
notification compliance in their respective bodies.  
1.3.  While the main thrust of the Committee's work programme7 was to improve the timeliness and 
completeness' of agriculture notifications, important changes were also agreed and introduced for 
the preparation and dissemination of Committee documents. T he wor k programme also included 
several elements on the development of digital tools and data systems to improve Members' 
accessibility to Committee's information, including the questions and answers (Q&As) considered in 
the review process. In 2011, the Secretar iat commenced the project for the development of an 
Agriculture Information Management System on the CoA review process.8 The AGIMS Q&A facility 
was launched and made accessible to Members in June 2013 ( https://agims .wto.org/ ).9  
1.4.  Pursuant to the discussions among Members during the 2009 -2011 work programme and the 
improvements resulting from the launch of the AG -IMS, several changes have been introduced over 
the recent years in the organization and conduct of Committee meetings, an d the dissemination of 
records of Committee  deliberations. While the Secretariat has been regularly informing Members 
about these improvements both in the formal and informal meetings of the Committee, as well

to the positions of Members or to their rights and obligations under the WTO.

3 WT/L/43.  
4 The Committee adopted working procedure s to fulfil this mandate at its first meeting on 
23 March  1995 under G/AG/1.  
5 G/AG/1.  
6 Paragraph 72 of G/AG/R/54 refers.  
7 Annex 6 of G/AG/R/55 refers.   
8 The Secretariat commenced work for the launch of two projects, namely, the on -line system for the 
Review Process (Q&A), and the online submission of agricultural notifications. Paragraph 31 of G/AG/R/58 
refers.  
9 Later, the Secretariat launched work on the AG-IMS facility for the online submission of agricultural 
notifications  which was made available  to Members for use in October 2019. Section 2.8.1 of G/AG/R/93 refers.  G/AG/GEN/206

  through dedicated information sessions, the pr esent note seeks to summarize and consolidate those 
changes (highlighted below in bold). This is done while recognizing and keeping in view the agreed 
working procedures of the Committee.  
2  THE CYCLE OF A COMMITTEE MEETING  
2.1.  The Committee meets three to four times a year, usually in the months of March, June, 
September, and November. The Committee's organization of work and procedures also allow for 
special meetings to be convened.10  
2.2.  A typical cycle of a Committee meeting entails five stages as depicted below in figure  1. 
The Committee's latest documentation practices and other organizational and procedural 
improvements organized around each of these five stages are described below. References to the 
agreed working procedures of the Committee are also mad e, as necessary.  
Figure 1: Cycle of a Committee meeting  
 
2.1  Reminder airgram  
2.3.  While the Committee's working procedures do not specifically provide for it, the Secretariat, 
about four weeks prior to each Committee meeting, issues a "reminder airgram", contain ing the 
following information:  
• Date(s) of the upcoming Committee meeting;  
• A list of new notifications issued since the previous Committee meeting, including 
notifications11 carried over from that meeting (i.e notifications issued after the circulation 
of the "convening airgram" of the previous Committee meeting until the day of that 
meeting);  
 
10 This was, for example, the case when a special meeting of the Committee was convened in June 2020 
in response to requests from Members to deliberate on the situation arising from the  COVID -19 pandemic and 
its impact on the state of international agriculture and food trade (G/AG/R/94 refers). This was the third such 
special meeting of the Committee since 1995.  
11 Paragraph 9 of the working procedures refer. These notifications are ident ified in the reminder 
airgram using the symbol #.  
G/AG/GEN/206  
 
- 3 - 
 
  • The deadline for the submission of questions concerning individual notifications12 and under 
Article 18.6 of the AoA; and  
• The deadline for inclusion of items under Pa rt II of the agenda on other matters within the 
purview of the Committee (i.e. other than the "review process").  
2.4.  In order to facilitate Members' examination of substantive notifications listed in the 
Reminder Airgram for the purpose of the Committee's revi ew process, and to distinguish 
those from "Nil"13 notifications included in the airgram, the Secretariat, based on 
suggestions by Members, highlights "Nil" notifications in the Reminder Airgram .14  
2.2  Advance questions for a Committee meeting  
2.5.  Part I of the Committee's agenda, "the Review Process", is primarily based on a question -and-
answer (Q&A) process. Members may pose questions on a particular notification or on a matter 
relevant to the implementation of commitments under Article. 18.6 of t he AoA. Sometimes, 
questions are also posed seeking additional information on late or outstanding notifications. 
The Committee's procedures establish that advance questions in connection to individual 
notifications should be submitted " as far in advance of  the meeting but no later than one day prior 
to the day on which the notice convening the meeting is to be issued" .15 For questions under 
Article.  18.6, the Committee's working procedures16 allows the concerned Members to raise them 
any time during the yea r through the Chairperson of the Committee. However, the practice which 
has developed over the years is to have Members raising questions under Article 18.6, do so within 
the same deadline and procedures applicable for questions related to individual notif ications. As 
indicated above, the Secretariat notifies Members about the deadline for posing questions prior to 
each Committee meeting by way of a reminder airgram.17 The purpose of this procedure and advance 
prior notice is to enable Members to provide ad equate responses to questions raised for any 
particular Committee meeting.  
2.6.   All questions received by the deadline for a Committee meeting are compiled by the Secretariat 
in a single document to facilitate the conduct of the review process. Until 2009, the  compilation of 
questions had been issued as an informal room document. As a part of the 2009 -2011 work 
programme, the Committee at its November 2009 meeting decided that, as of the 
March  2010 meeting, the room document compiling questions posed by Members  before 
each formal session be circulated as an official "restricted" WTO document in accordance 
with the distribution procedures laid out in the 2002 General Council Decision .18 The first 
such question compilation document with an official WTO symbol19 was circulated for the March 2010 
Committee meeting in document G/AG/W/74.  
2.7.  With the launch of the online Agriculture Information Management System (AG -IMS) 
Q&A facility in June 2013, significant further procedural improvements have been achieved in 
Members'  submission of question and responses as well as their access to information under the 
Committee's review process. Members, or the Secretariat on their behalf, have since been able to 
submit questions for a Committee meeting through a password -protected AG -IMS interface. 
Questions submitted via the AG -IMS are automatically transmitted to the Members to which the 
questions are posed as well as to the Secretariat. The questions once successfully submitted 
via the AG -IMS are formatted and validated by the Secr etariat after which they become 
accessible at https://agims -qna.wto.org/  to all Members and the public. As part of the 
 
12 Questions may not be limited to notifications listed in the reminder airgram . Members may pose 
questions related to any notification circulated prior to the deadline for submitting questions, including the 
notifications considered at a previous meeting of the Committee (paragraph 10 of the working procedures 
refers).  
13 A "Nil" notification is a notification where the notifying Member states that no measures (be it a 
measure on agricultural subsidization or the application of special agricultural safeguards) were applied in a 
given year.  
14 The first such reminder airgram was contai ned in WTO/AIR/AG/41 dated 20 February 2020. Nil 
notifications are identified by the superscript  "NIL" added to concerned notification symbols.  
15 G/AG/1, paragraphs 8 and 10 refer.  
16 G/AG/1, paragraph 12 refers.  
17 The deadline for submitting questions is also published on the AG -IMS ( agims.wto.org ). 
18 Paragraph 38 (a) of G/AG/R/57 refers.  
19 In the G/AG/W/ document series.  G/AG/GEN/206

  validation process, the Secretariat assigns keywords and agricultural products covered by 
the questions, in order to facilitate searches by users.  
2.8.  Some important overall procedural improvements and data automation achieved through the 
AG-IMS are separately included in Section  3 below. Specifically as regards the submission of advance 
questions for a Committee meeting and their accessibility, two significant improvements which have 
been achieved through the AG -IMS include: 1) the possibility to submit questions for a meeting 
immediately after the close of the preceding Committee meeting, hence al lowing longer 
advance notice and preparatory time (compared to the mandatory 11 -day advance notice 
required under the working procedures) to provide a response; and 2) immediate public 
access to the questions (and responses) once submitted via the AG -IMS p ublic website.  
This latter development also necessitated a change in the Committee's documentation practice 
agreed in 200920, i.e. to distribute the question compilation document as "unrestricted" considering 
that those questions were already publicly acce ssible on the System prior to the circulation of the 
compilation. This enhanced transparency in the Committee's documentation practice was 
acknowledged by the Committee at its September 2013 meeting.21 Starting from the 
September  2013 Committee meeting, th e question compilation document22 has 
consistently been circulated as an unrestricted WTO document, publicly accessible after 
release.  
2.3  Convening airgram for a Committee meeting and other agenda documents  
2.9.  The convening airgram of a Committee meeting is iss ued 10 days prior to the date of the 
meeting. A convening airgram typically includes the draft agenda organized under two parts. Part I 
of the draft agenda comprises items related to the review process whereas the second part is devoted 
to "other" matters within the purview of the Committee (e.g. annual consultations pursuant to Article 
18.5 of the AoA or the follow -up to the various ministerial decisions agreed under the agriculture 
negotiations).  
2.10.   The working procedures of the Committee also require that notifications in respect of which 
written questions are raised shall be annotated accordingly in the proposed agenda.23 This practice 
continued until the November 2011 meeting of the Committee. In the context of the 
2011  General Council Decision24 to achie ve cost savings in document production and 
meetings, the question compilation document started to organize questions according to 
specific themes using "key words" while avoiding the duplication of annotations in the 
convening airgram itself.  From March 20 12 onwards, both the convening airgram and the 
compilation of questions have been regularly circulated on the same day.25  
2.11.   Another document which typically accompanies the convening airgram contains the record of 
Members' compliance with notification oblig ations. Until the September 2009 meeting, the 
Secretariat had circulated the compliance document in the form of an informal room document. As 
a part of its 2009 -11 work programme, the Committee, at its September 2009 meeting, 
agreed that the room document showing compliance with notification obligations should 
be circulated by the Secretariat as an official and unrestricted WTO document, before each 
formal meeting of the Committee .26  
2.12.   The Committee has also regularly held discussions on the issue of outstan ding replies to 
questions raised under the review process under the agenda item on "deferred replies". Starting 
from the June 2018 meeting of the Committee, and based on the suggestion by the then 
Chairperson, the Secretariat circulates a document tracking  outstanding responses to 
 
20 Paragraph 2.6 above refers.  
21 G/AG/R/72, paragraph 2 .24 refers.  
22 The first "unrestricted" question compilation was released in document G/AG/W/114 containing 
advance questions for the September 2013 Committee meeting.  
23 Paragraphs 8 and 10 of G/AG/1 refer.  
24 WT/BFA/128 and WT/GC/M/134 (paragraphs 305 and 306) refer.  
25 The first edition of question compilation with annotations and key words and the convening airgram 
without such annotations are contained respectively in G/AG/W/93 and WTO/AIR/3901. Paragraph 4 (a) of 
G/AG/R/66 refers.  
26 Paragraph 42 (a) of G /AG/R/56 refers. Since then, this document has regularly been circulated by the 
Secretariat in the document series G/AG/GEN/86/ with its first edition (G/AG/GEN/86) circulated on 
2 October  2009.  G/AG/GEN/206

  support discussions under the agenda item on "deferred replies" . The compilation of 
outstanding responses has since been regularly issued prior to each committee meeting in the 
document series G/AG/W/204/.27 
2.4  Committee meetings and responses to questions  
2.13.   Members subject to questions typically provide responses to those questions during the 
meeting. While not discounting the issue of outstanding responses, one welcome development over 
the recent years has been a growing p ractice among Members to respond to questions they 
had received for a meeting prior to the commencement of the meeting . Close to 20%28 of 
total questions are usually responded to in advance of the meeting via the AG -IMS, and hence 
immediately accessible to  the entire Membership (and the general public). The Chairpersons have 
highly welcomed, and encouraged, this voluntary practice by Members to circulate early 
responses which facilitates deepened exchanges during meetings.  As stated previously, the 
AG-IMS n ow allows Members to submit questions for a meeting months (rather than the mandatory 
11 days) in advance of the meeting and this should further assist the responding Members to provide 
an early response to questions.  
2.14.   To further facilitate an efficient con duct of meetings and provide certainty to the questioning 
Members on whether their questions had been properly received and would be responded to at the 
meeting, the Secretariat, based on the Chairperson's suggestion, regularly ascertains the 
attendance of  Members subject to advance questions prior to Committee meetings .29  
2.5  Circulation of the Summary Report for a Committee meeting  
2.15.   The Secretariat used to post Members' written responses to questions made available on the 
password protected WTO website prior to those being summarized and included in the Summary 
Reports.30 During the course of the 2009 -11 work programme, the Committee at its November 2009 
meeting agreed that the written responses supplied by Members for a meeting should be 
circulated sepa rately as a 'restricted' formal WTO document.31  
2.16.   As of the March 2010 meeting, the Secretariat has circulated the compilation of 
responses separately as a formal document in the G/AG/W/ series.32 The Secretariat has 
since discontinued its practice of summa rizing questions and answers in its 'Summary 
Reports' .33 Members' follow -up comments had continued to be included in the summary reports for 
some time. As of the November 2011 meeting, the follow -up exchanges have also been 
included in the compilation of r esponses, rather than in the summary reports.   
2.17.   The record of Committee's discussions based on Q&A is currently included in the 
Secretariat's Summary Reports (circulated in the G/AG/R/ series) by reference. A tabular 
list of all questions raised during a me eting under various agenda items along with the 
relevant question ID numbers is contained in the summary reports along with the 
corresponding hyperlinks to access questions and responses and any follow -up 
exchanges.  Members may also access responses and fo llow-up exchanges directly in the AG-IMS 
by inputting the ID number of the concerned question.  
2.18.   Following the launch of the AG -IMS, the following furthers changes have been introduced in 
the Committee's documentation practices in relation to the accessibility of the records of 
Committee's discussions:  
 
27 The earlier versions of this compilation may be consulted in the document series G/AG/W/177/ and 
G/AG/W/195/.  
28 For the previous (101 st) Committee meeting, 33 out of the 88  questions raised had responses 
available on the AG -IMS prior to the commencement of the meeting (Paragraph 3.2 of G/AG/R/102 refers).  
29 Parag raph 3.23 of G/AG/R/95 refers.  
30 The minutes or reports of meetings are normally required to be circulated within three weeks after a 
meeting and not later than the notice convening the following meeting. Paragraph 2 (c) of WT/L/452 refers.   
31 Paragraph 38  (a) of G/AG/R/57 refers.  
32 The first such compilation was included in G/AG/W/75 (and revisions).  
33 The first such report without a summary of questions and answers is contained in G/AG/R/58.  G/AG/GEN/206  
 
- 6 - 
 
  a. As the AG-IMS public website enabled access to questions and answers once posted on 
the System prior to the circulation of the formal respo nse compilation in the G/AG/W/ 
series, the compilations, as of the September 2013 meeting, have been circulated 
to the Membership as "unrestricted" documents.34 
b. As a part of the ongoing enhancement of the Q&A function of the AG -IMS, Members 
could download an up -to-date compilation of responses for a particular 
Committee meeting (in a formatted Word document) at any time directly through 
the password protected site of the AG -IMS (Q&A fun ction). In light of this 
enhancement, and with a view to streamlining the Committee's documentation, the 
Secretariat, starting from the Committee meetings in 2019, prepares a single 'annual' 
compilation of Q&A for all Committee meetings in a particular yea r.35 This approach 
also assisted the Secretariat to address the concern related to multiple 'addendums' to 
Q&A compilation of individual meetings which had been required due to late submission of 
replies by some Members (please refer to column 6 of the tab le in Annex 1 to this 
document). The annual Q&A compilation should allow Members to access a more complete 
record of responses to questions raised in a given year in a single WTO document.  
3  THE AGRICULTURE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (AG -IMS)  
3.1.  The idea to develop a data -system overseeing the Committee review process as well as the 
online submission of agriculture notifications had been actively explored during the 2009 -2011 work 
programme of the Committee. In the very early stage of discussions on the work programme, the 
Chairperson, based on his consultations, had noted that 'Members continued to accord the highest 
priority to the development of a database on specific implementation -related concerns raised since 
1995 during the Review Process ' and had encou raged Members with experience in building such 
databases to contact the Secretariat for an initial exchange of ideas.36 Starting from that early 
conversation in the second half of 201137, the Secretariat regularly briefed and consulted the 
Membership in the design and development of the AG -IMS database.38 The data system was 
launched in June 2013 and had entailed a months -long testing phase with a pilot group composed 
of Members that most often submit questions under the Committee's review process.39  
3.2.  Since its launch in 2013, the AG -IMS (Q&A) has become an integral part of the Committee's 
review process and has also influenced and improved the transparency and the mechanics of its 
processe s. Simultaneously, the AG -IMS has remained a dynamic tool which could adjust and improve 
based on evolving needs. Over the last few years, the System has indeed imbibed several 
improvements and enhancements primarily based on Members' requests and suggesti ons. Some 
important contributions of the System for an efficient conduct of the review process, including the 
recent enhancements that it has incorporated, are briefly described below.  
3.1  Timeline for the submission of questions and responses  
3.3.  While questions  for a particular meeting should be submitted no later than 11 days prior to the 
date of the meeting in line with the Committee's working procedures, the AG -IMS allows Members 
to submit those questions almost immediately after the end of the previous Commi ttee 
meeting . This feature furthers the objective of the working procedures to provide sufficient time to 
Members to prepare and provide adequate responses to the questions received for a particular 
meeting.  
3.4.  While the Committee's working procedures anticipate that Members receiving questions for a 
Committee meeting would provide responses to those questions in the course of that meeting, the 
AG-IMS has opened up the possibility for the responding Members to su bmit responses at any time, 
 
34 After the  launch of the AG -IMS, the Secretariat also  disconti nued its practice of posting questions and 
responses on the Members password protected website. Paragraph 2.24 of G/AG/R/72 refers.  
35 The annual Compilation of responses to meetings in 2019, 2020 and 2021 are contained respectively 
in G/AG/W/215, G/AG/W/21 6 and G/AG/W/218.  
36 Paragraph 41 of G/AG/R/57 refers.  
37 Paragraph 32 d (ii) of G/AG/R/61 refers.  
38 Refer for example to Paragraphs 24 a) of G/AG/R/67/Rev.1, 11 of G/AG/R/68, and 2.22 of 
G/AG/R/69.  
39 Paragraph 2.22 of G/AG/R/72 refers.  G/AG/GEN/206  
 
- 7 - 
 
  including in advance of the meeting. As has been noted above, a growing practice has been observed 
whereby Members submit responses to questions prior to the concerned meeting allowing for in -
depth exchanges during the Review Pr ocess at the meeting.40  
3.2  Development of options to submit and categorize questions  
3.5.  The AG -IMS has also created options for Members posing questions under several pre -defined 
categories.   
a. Repeat a question previously raised: Members can re -submit (i.e., rep eat) a question 
for which no response has been provided. These questions are automatically covered 
under the agenda item on "deferred replies to questions raised under the review process". 
In choosing this option, Members should only identify the question identifier (i.e. AG -IMS 
ID number of the concerned question) after which the System would automatically 
reproduce the content of the question for submission.  
b. Co-sponsoring a question presented by another Member(s): This important feature  
allows a Member  to join or co -sponsor a question already raised by another Member.  This 
feature has the potential to improve and widen the participation of Members, especially 
developing country Members, in the Committee's Review Process. An increasing trend in 
the number of jointly -raised or cosponsored questions has already been evident over 
recent Committee meetings.  
c. Tracking of questions raised under Article 18.6 (i.e. the so -called specific 
implementation matters or 'SIMs'): Thematic areas covered by a question (SIM) raised 
to a particular Member under Article 18.6  have been separately assigned a numerical 
identifier under the AG -IMS. Members may pose follow -up questions to a previously raised 
SIM using a pre -defined AG -IMS feature. Utilizing this feature of the AG -IMS, the 
Convening Airgram of a meeting separately identifies 'previously -raised SIMs' and lists 
them separately from the "new SIMs"  
d. Questions in connection to the Nairobi Export Competition Decision: After finding 
an increasing number of written questions by  Members in connection with the follow -up 
to the Nairobi Export Competition Decision41, the AG -IMS has developed an additional 
option to accommodate the Q&A process on the Decision whereby Members could submit 
and respond to those questions via the AG -IMS. Originally, the AG -IMS Q&A facility was 
limited to the Committee's review process under part I of Committee's agenda. The WTO 
Secretariat is currently developing an additional tool to enable the submission of online 
replies to the annual export competitio n questionnaire (ECQ) forming part of the Nairobi 
Decision.  
3.3  Additional transparency enhancements in the conduct of the review process and 
Secretariat practices for improved tracking of Q&A  
3.6.  The development of the AG IMS has enabled an improved transparency  in the conduct of the 
Committee's review process and has also offered various tools to the Secretariat to improve 
information flows and the quality of the Committee's documentation practices.  
a. Access to the Committee's deliberations:  Questions for a meeti ng once posed and 
validated via the password -protected interface of the AG -IMS are immediately accessible 
to all Members and the public. This is a grand improvement in the transparency of the 
Committee's conduct of business whereby the record of its delibe rations is expeditiously 
accessible to Members and the broader public including the research community. Prior to 
the development of the AG -IMS, a written report on the deliberations of a Committee 
meeting could become accessible to  Members via the Secretar iat's Summary Reports 
 
40 This AG -IMS feature was particularly  handy during the 93rd Committee meeting which could deal with 
more than three hundred advance questions mainly because more than half of those  questions had been 
answered prior to the meeting, and Member primarily targ eted the unanswered questions  in the course of the 
meeting .  
41 WT/MIN(15)/45 -WT/L/980.  G/AG/GEN/206  
 
- 8 - 
 
  about a month after the meeting and much later to the general public once such reports 
were derestricted.  
b. Indentation of questions through the AG -IMS question identifiers: Questions are 
automatically assigned an ID number where the f irst numbers represent the Committee 
meeting number and the remaining numbers are consecutive numbers (e.g., AG IMS ID# 
99123, where 99 refers to the 99th Committee meeting, and 123 is the serial number 
assigned to that question). These question ID numbers  are very handy to locate a 
question, and consult the detailed content of the question, response, and relevant 
follow -up.  
c. Automatic alert system upon submission of questions/answers:  The System 
automatically notifies the questioning and answering Members whenever a question or 
answer has been submitted through the AG -IMS. Once submitted, the questions and 
answers become accessible to all Members and the general public.  
d. Easy identification of outstanding responses and circulation of automatic 
reminders.  The System provides for an easy identification of outstanding responses. The 
system generates automatic reminders to Members with outstanding responses. This 
feature of the AG -IMS has assisted the Secretariat to track outstanding responses. The 
Secretariat r egularly circulates a background document containing the details of such 
outstanding responses to facilitate discussions under the Committee's agenda item on 
"deferred replies".  
e. Update of responses : Members may also update their previously submitted respo nses 
to questions. Members may, for example, supplement their previously submitted partial 
responses with additional information once available. Whenever a response is updated into 
the System, the questioning Member will be notified via an e -mail sent to t his effect by 
the System.  
3.7.  The Secretariat endeavours to continuously enhance the System based on Members' feedback 
and suggestions, to further improve the transparency of the Committee's work, its processes and 
documentation practices.
