This paper reviews India’s notifications and summarizes the related discussion in the WTO Committee on Agriculture of some key issues relating to the rules of the Agreement on Agriculture on domestic support. It calculates price gaps for rice, wheat, cotton and sugarcane in 1995 to 2013 under four scenarios regarding the external reference price and calculates the resulting market price support using total production and procurement quantities. It compares the associated Aggregate Measurements of Support (AMSs) to their limits based on value of production. The AMSs show large excesses above their limits over many years until 2013 for several crops under some readings of the Agreement but much less so if certain adjustments are made. This highlights the differences among alternative interpretations of the Agreement in determining compliance with a country’s obligations, in particular the understanding of the fixed external reference price and the production eligible to receive the applied administered price. The paper puts India’s administered pricing in the context of the 2013 decision of WTO ministers regarding protection under some conditions against challenge under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. 000166343 546__ $$aEnglish 000166343 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000166343 650__ $$aInternational Relations/Trade 000166343 6531_ $$aIndia 000166343 6531_ $$aWTO 000166343 6531_ $$aagriculture 000166343 6531_ $$adomestic support 000166343 6531_ $$aAggregate Measurement of Support 000166343 6531_ $$amarket price support 000166343 6531_ $$afixed external reference price 000166343 6531_ $$aeligible production 000166343 700__ $$aBrink, Lars 000166343 8564_ $$977dcafb9-c28e-4c1d-995e-139501c70d00$$s2366486$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/166343/files/WP%2014-01%20Brink.pdf 000166343 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/166343 000166343 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:166343$$pGLOBAL_SET 000166343 912__ $$nSubmitted by Linda Eells (lle@umn.edu) on 2014-04-21T18:27:17Z No. of bitstreams: 1 WP 14-01 Brink.pdf: 2366486 bytes, checksum: 50057af95c6556eef27daf2765f47375 (MD5) 000166343 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2014-04-21T18:27:17Z (GMT).
