Traduction de «Sovvenzione d'esportazione » (Italien → Anglais) :

Under the WTO’s Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) - the legally binding international framework for regulating government subsidies - export credit support to private corporations is not considered a subsidy, if the support is done in compliance with this OECD Arrangement.

2. Where the subsidy is not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported, the amount of countervailable subsidy shall be determined by allocating the value of the total subsidy, as appropriate, over the level of production, sales or exports of the products concerned during the investigation period for subsidisation.

Provided, however, that if a Member of the WTO is a party to an international undertaking on official export credits to which at least 12 original such Members are parties as of 1 January 1979 (or a successor undertaking which has been adopted by those original Members), or if in practice a Member of the WTO applies the interest rates provisions of the relevant undertaking, an export credit practice which is in conformity with those provisions shall not be considered an export subsidy.

The mere fact that a subsidy is accorded to enterprises which export shall not, for that reason alone, be considered to be an export subsidy within the meaning of this provision.

Z. whereas the Doha Declaration includes a number of commitments to tackle certain specific problems identified as major obstacles preventing the developing countries from securing a fairer share of world trade, in particular negotiations (on agriculture) aimed at substantial improvements in market access and the reduction of all forms of export subsidies; negotiations on trade in services, 'conducted with a view to promoting . the development of . least-developed countries'; negotiations on market access for non-agricultural products 'of export interest to developing countries'; reassertion of the principles on special and different ...[+++]iated treatment applicable to the developing countries, in particular the least developed countries,

22. Notes that the Doha Declaration refers to comprehensive negotiations on agriculture aimed at the reduction of all forms of export subsidies, implying an EU commitment to reducing export subsidies provided that export subsidies by others (export credits, abusive use of food aid and non transparent pricing activities of state trading bodies) are also addressed; calls for the launching of new reforms from 2004, beginning with the reduction by 50% of all export subsidies in one year and the abolition of all the other subsidies as soon as possible by the EU and the USA;
