Summary in English
The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture provides commitments in three areas : market access, export competition and domestic support. The introduction of domestic support discipline along with the discipline on border measures in an agreement governing international trade was a path-breaking step. This report explains the domestic support provisions of the Agreement on Agriculture, concentrating on the Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS) and the so-called 'green box'. It examines the representation of Canada's domestic support in accordance with the Agreement, and discusses possibilities for further discipline on domestic support.
