AMS. The negotiations must begin where the AoA left off and as envisaged in the AoA itself. The first step is the elimination of the most trade-distorting domestic support, 22 Ibid. particularly the most trade-distorting form, namely, AMS. India and China have submitted a proposal to this effect in the WTO23. This calls for the elimination - by developed countries - of the most trade-distorting form of farm subsidies, i.e. AMS or ‘Amber Box’ support. The joint paper pointed out that developed countries, including the US, the EU and Canada, have been consistently providing trade-distorting subsidies to their farmers at levels much higher than the ceiling applicable to developing countries. Developed countries have more than 90% of global AMS entitlements amounting to nearly US$ 160 bn. Most of the developing countries, including India and China, do not have AMS entitlements. Listing the most heavily and frequently subsidised products by the US, the EU and Canada since 1995, the paper calls for elimination of such subsidies. The numbers reveal that subsidies for many items provided by the developed world are over 50% and some even more that 100% of the value of production of the product concerned, while developing countries are forced to contain it within 10% of the value of production. In other words, while developed Members have access to huge amount of AMS beyond their de minimis24, in contrast most developing Members have access only to de minimis resulting in a major asymmetry in the rules on agricultural trade. The paper illustrates the adverse effects of concentration of AMS on a few products, which no other proposal in the WTO addresses. Elimination of AMS, India and China believe, should be the starting point of reforms rather than seeking reduction of subsidies by developing countries, some of which like India provide a subsistence amount of about US $ 260 per farmer per annum compared to over 100 times more in some developed countries. This proposal by China and India should be acted upon. 23 Restricted WTO document No. JOB/AG/102 dated 18 July 2017 – Submission by China and India 24 De minimis: these are the minimal amounts of domestic support that are allowed even though they distort trade — up to 5% of the value of production for developed countries, 10% for developing.
