NOTIFICATION  
Revision  
The following submission, dated 6 March  2024, is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of Israel . The revised notification concerns domestic support commitments ( Table DS:1  and the 
relevant supporting tables) for the Calendar Year  2010. 
 
_______________  
 
 
This revision results from  an in-depth analysis of the Israeli egg market , conducted in 2022 towards 
a reform   in egg production quotas to be implemented by 2032. Pursuant t o this analysis, Israel 
wishes to clarify that there has never been an applied administered price set by the Israeli 
government or any other regulatory authority, guaranteed to table egg producers . Moreover, the 
pricing of eggs for the producers remains su bject to market forces and fluctuates in accordance with 
supply and demand.  
 
The "applied administered price" of "eggs" used for AMS calculations  in the  original  Table DS:1 
notification , based on an erroneous assumption , was  the corresponding average domestic annual 
price published ex post facto .  
 
This revision has accordingly corrected the market price support calculations for "eggs". The modified 
support values in the supporting table DS:5, as well as other affected tables , are highlighted in bold.
