I sensed there is indeed a preparedness to make genuine efforts to see if it can be feasible to make the provisions applicable in such a way as to ensure that particular situations of developing countries are taken into account. I have already underlined in my first reference paper on Green Box that, in line with the guidance provided in the Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration, there has been a genuine openness to changes to paragraph 2 General services to ensure that the programmes of developing countries are effectively covered. We have had specific textual proposals to this effect. I believe it is just about time that I could put those proposals in a working draft. In addition, I sense a broad support for enhanced monitoring and surveillance with respect to Green Box measures. There is clearly a need for more effective notifications system and examination of notifications as it would greatly help ensure that criteria of the Green Box are being met. We need to discuss the issues of improved transparency and notifications requirements in earnest. On that basis I would like to move to a working draft. We need now to scope out the overall sense of direction with respect to these and other amendments that have been put forward. Some categories, for example the concept of "fixed and unchanging" base periods or changes to take account of special needs of developing countries, including the "newcomer" issue, would be well suited for this exercise. As I indicated in my previous paper, we have yet to enter into technical discussions of the proposals put forward especially with respect to paragraphs 7 to 13. I have not felt that we have yet secured a serious preparedness to go into this detailed discussion. Are we to do it or not? It cannot happen constructively if there is no real willingness to engage in it. We have had a technical discussion on export credits. Are we ready to do it here for the Green Box? With this in mind, I thought it might help you decide whether you wanted to get into this by putting all proposals into a running list of proposed changes which is attached to this paper (see Appendix). Where there was considerable overlap (like in the case of subparagraph (b) of paragraph11), I have tried to merge the suggestions into one for purposes of clarity and hopefully without totally travestying the uniqueness of particular proposals. In other cases, I have felt it safer simply to indicate alternative language as bracketed text. In most of the cases I have just reproduced the proposals for ease of reference. As I say, I am not proposing any of this as Chair: it is provided as a tool precisely in order to help you to decide whether you are even going to have this kind of detailed discussion. I thought it might be useful if you had at least some sense of what that kind of detailed discussion would need to grapple with. And, as with so much else, there is not a lot of time to go through all of this. Seeing this laid out may help you decide this is all too much and we should give it away. Alternatively it might help you feel that this is all ultimately manageable with a bit more serious technical work. Let's make up our minds one way or another. If it is to be done, it needs to be done quickly. If not, let's make it clear that we are going to cut our losses, as it were, on all or some of these paragraphs. Public stockholding for food security purposes (paragraph 3) In my previous reference paper I had gone to some lengths to explain my views with respect to the proposed changes and explore some possible direction of how we might approach this issue. Idid not detect any outright rejection of this particular approach, although it was pointed out that more has been sought than just the exemption from the need to notify when payments do not exceed the deminimis threshold. I believe we should have another look at what can reasonably be done here. Domestic food aid (paragraph 4) Similarly with respect to paragraph 4, I had tried to put the issue at hand into perspective. Ithink it was useful but we have yet to enter into detailed discussion of possible ways of how we are going to consider this issue. Direct payments to producers (paragraph 5) It appears that most difficulties await us with respect to amendments to paragraphs 5 to 13 of Annex 2. However, I consider that there are important elements of convergence to build upon despite differences. One such is the concept of "fixed and unchanging" base periods. It is being seen as a tool to avoid re-coupling of direct payments through frequent changes to the base period, especially as it relates to paragraph 6. There is an important openness to deal with this as it relates to that paragraph but it is to be noted that concerns have been raised that introduction of the fixed and unchanging base periods for payments under paragraphs 11 and 13 may not be suitable. On paragraph 6 at least there is certainly openness to discuss this issue further. It was noted that there is a recognition that updating of bases and yields can create some pervasive effects. At the same time, it was also pointed out that there is a need to provide flexibility for the evolution of farm programmes and for practical adjustments. I would hope that we could fine-tune this concept. In addition, I wonder if there would not be merit to discuss in more detail any new monitoring and surveillance procedures. I would hope that we could pursue this through a detailed technical discussion in order to assess the extent to which enhanced notification requirements would be helpful and therefore this issue could be advanced further. I do note of course that while there appears to be no disagreement about the value of any enhanced monitoring and surveillance, the view is, however, that this approach needs to be accompanied by improved disciplines. But that clearly is not an obstacle to dealing with the issue of notification and surveillance on its intrinsic merits. As regards changes to direct payments sought by developing countries to address their specific concerns, it was underlined again that the intention is not to overhaul the Green Box but to make the Green Box more accessible to developing country Members. We should keep this point in mind as we go through the proposals whether they relate to experimental and pilot programmes or are intended to address data, bookkeeping and institutional deficiencies or specific needs and situations of developing countries. Decoupled income support (paragraph 6) I have already flagged the main areas of divergence. During our discussion, it was clarified that changes to paragraph 6 have been sought to provide assurances that inputs are not required to be in agricultural use in order to receive payments but this is not to be understood as an opposition to using "best farm practices". Rather, it has been clarified that the objective here is that land must not be in "commercial agricultural use". I had also mentioned the "newcomer" issue and the need to perhaps approach it systematically as it is relevant to various direct payments under Annex 2 and may be relevant generally, not just to developing country Members. This is one of the issues that will need to be approached pragmatically. Paragraphs 7 - 13 I felt that it was usefully pointed out that there is a need to distinguish the changes sought with respect to paragraphs 7 and 8 and those pertaining to paragraphs 11 to 13. As regards amendments suggested by developing countries in paragraphs 7 and 8, some relate, for example, to the special needs of developing countries as many of them do not have income data at the farm-household level. Hence the need to make the criteria more operational as data and bookkeeping requirements often exceed the institutional capacity of many developing countries. It seems that the changes in favour of developing countries would focus on addressing the needs in administration in paragraph 7 and 8. For example, it would seem reasonable to explore whether in such situations data could perhaps be provided on a more aggregate basis. Regarding the base period, the main focus in paragraphs 7 and 8 is that in the case of such payments, the current base periods are too short to be effective for these kinds of programmes and there have been indications that it is not possible to meet the current requirements. There has been a suggestion that we extend the base period to five years as this would be more representative of the market conditions. As regards crop insurance programmes, it has been suggested that the base period should be actuarially sound rather than based on a specified period. These suggestions are in a certain sense dangling no strong disagreement on the specifics, but one has the sense that that is as much as anything reflective of a more generalised/non-specific reluctance to make any changes. We need to clarify whether we really are prepared to go this way or not. Much the same could be said for the proposal to add a new subparagraph to permit full compensation for destruction of crops or animals to control or prevent the spread of pests or diseases. I think we should look seriously now at paragraphs 7 and 8, assess whether we are ready to contemplate any change whatsoever and, if so, fine-tune the language with the view to finding a solution acceptable to all. With respect to changes regarding paragraph 11, there is currently no agreement to make the amendments that would require that structural disadvantages be clearly defined nor to eliminate the link with the use of factors of production or inputs for production. The issue of "fixed and unchanging" base period was already referred to earlier. Members have yet to discuss the proposed changes to paragraph 12, especially the apparent exemption of developing countries from criteria under this paragraph. As regards the second set of amendments, there is opposition to making these changes, especially with respect to the suggested deletion of the reference to "loss of income". In the view of some Members, complying with environmental programmes may entail both the extra costs as well as loss of income. Regarding paragraph 13, there seems to be no specific disagreement with the amendment to exempt developing countries from the requirement that the disadvantaged area be a clearly designated contiguous geographical area with a definable economic and administrative identity. Other amendments proposed here have already been flagged when I referred to the issue of "fixed and unchanging" base period or the "newcomer" issue. Monitoring and surveillance It is generally accepted that appropriate monitoring and surveillance procedures will need to be established. One suggestion is for a new Sub-Committee on Monitoring and Surveillance to undertake various tasks comprising of a review of notifications, peer review, assessment and evaluation, reporting and surveillance. Another proposal is to enhance the existing format of notifications and ensure timely submissions, including by means of a penalty in Current Total AMS for Members with overdue notifications. Also, in addition to a regular review of notifications by the Committee on Agriculture, in-depth examinations of each Member's notifications (both Table DS:1 and Table DS:2) would be carried out on a rolling basis, with the three Members with the highest amounts of support being reviewed every year.
