Que pourraient signifier les tendances en matière de politiques agricoles nationales face aux efforts d’adaptation des règles de l’OMC concernant les mesures de soutien interne?

This executive summary, produced by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), argues for the urgent reform of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules regarding domestic agricultural support. The authors contend that current rules fail to limit the subsidies of major agricultural subsidizers and do not adequately address the growing support from emerging economies, hindering the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger). The document proposes simplifying domestic support rules, introducing new global limits based on production value, and establishing special treatment for developing countries.

• A small group of WTO members—China, India, the United States, and the European Union—account for nearly 75% of all agricultural aid that the WTO considers to have trade-distorting effects.
• Current WTO disciplines are ineffective at significantly limiting the policy space of historically high agricultural subsidizers, such as the European Union and the United States, nor do they sufficiently address the rapidly growing support provided by major emerging economies, specifically India and China.
• The 'green box' (Annex 2 of the Agreement) allows for unrestricted spending on programs deemed to have limited trade effects, such as rural infrastructure, pest and disease control, research, and advisory and extension services, providing a pathway for WTO members to increase public investment to meet Sustainable Development Goals.
• The IISD and IFPRI propose several reforms to simplify domestic support rules and increase transparency, including: establishing new, gradually decreasing global limits on trade-harming support based on objective production measures; providing special and differential treatment for developing countries (such as higher initial ceilings or longer phase-in periods); setting product-specific support limits; and excluding government-purchased food for public stockpiling from domestic support limits if the administered price is below the international market price.
