Members conclude first review of Nairobi Decision on export competition, seek details on US farm aid package

WTO Members approved by consensus the first triennial review of the 2015 Nairobi Decision on export competition during a meeting of the WTO’s agriculture committee on 25-26 September. The ongoing review of the operation of the 2013 Bali Ministerial Decision on tariff rate quota (TRQ) administration turned more specific as the chair reminded Members of the end-December 2019 deadline for the General Council to finalize its recommendations on the review. Members also continued to examine various agriculture policies, including the newly-announced $12billion farm aid package of the United States.
