Export competition. As for export competition, the Framework includes an agreed target for this pillar: elimination of export subsidies by a ‘credible’ date. The Framework Agreement refers to “all forms of export subsidies” which means parallel elimination of the subsidy component of government-supported export credit (with the phasing-out of credits and insurance of over 180 days), food aid, and State-sanctioned exporting monopolies. The negotiations will also develop disciplines on all export measures whose effects are equivalent to subsidies. The final stage of the negotiations has to finalise the identification of policies with equivalent effect within the scope of export credits with repayment terms of 180 days or below, certain types of Food Aid, and certain practices of exporting State Trading Enterprises (STEs). Within the WTO membership, the EU accounts for 92% of export subsidies in value, with an expenditure of $29.3 billion over the 1995–2000 period.

They lower world market prices, drive down local prices and ruin all those farmers whose governments can not or do not want to pay subsidies or apply protective tariffs. While the complete abolition of these direct export subsidies and other forms of export competition was decided as part of the framework agreement no time-scale has been set. The envisaged rules do not adequately address indirect ways of subsidizing exports.

Export competition. CAP’s export subsidies to reduce its support price-induced surpluses was one of the greatest sources of contention. Competitors regained some of the lost market share by providing their own export subsidies, a budgetary expense. Previous GATT failures to discipline CAP on this provided the motivation for its presence in the Uruguay Round. Although not eliminating export subsidies (the EU and US refused to eliminate the subsidies) the Uruguay Round succeeded in lessening the role of export subsidies by agreeing to binding constraints on export subsidization. Furthermore, for the first time, new export subsidies are banned. This, in conjunction with binding tariffication that limited the EU’s ability to protect its domestic markets, meant a major reform in the operation of the CAP.
