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?

The executive summary highlights that current WTO disciplines fail to significantly limit the agricultural subsidies of major providers like the US and EU, nor do they adequately address the growing support from emerging economies like China and India. It suggests that reforming these rules is essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and ensuring global food system stability, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors propose simplifying rules by introducing a minimum level of trade-distorting support based on a percentage of production value, implementing stricter transparency requirements, and establishing new, gradually decreasing global limits on internal support to correct international inequalities.

• A small number 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.
• Existing WTO disciplines are ineffective at limiting the ability of historically high-subsidizing members, specifically the US and EU, to provide support, and they do not sufficiently address the rapidly growing support provided by emerging economies such as China and India.
• The 'green box' (Annex 2 of the Agreement) currently allows for unrestricted spending on programs with limited trade effects, such as rural infrastructure, pest and disease control, research, and advisory services, providing a pathway for countries to increase public investment to meet Sustainable Development Goals.
• To improve equity and transparency, the IISD and IFPRI propose four policy options: establishing new, gradually decreasing global limits on internal support based on production value; providing special and differential treatment for developing countries; setting product-specific support limits; and excluding government food purchases for public stockpiling from internal support limits if the regulated price is below the international market price.
