Special and Differential Treatment For developing country Members with AMS commitments, the de minimis amounts referred to in Article 6.4(b) of the Agreement on Agriculture (i.e. ten per cent of a Member's total value of production of a basic agricultural product in the case of product-specific de minimis and ten per cent of the value of a Member's total agricultural production in the case of non-product-specific de minimis) to which they have access under their existing ϲʹ obligations shall be specified in Members' Schedules in monetary terms and reduced by at least two-thirds of the reduction rate for developed country Members and with an implementation period that is three years longer. Developing country Members with no AMS commitments; or with AMS commitments, but that either allocate almost all that support for subsistence and resource-poor farmers; or which are NFIDCs listed in document G/AG/5/Rev.8; shall continue to have the same access as under their existing ϲʹ obligations to the limits provided for product-specific and non-product-specific deminimis in Article 6.4(b) of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture and shall not be obliged to specify these in monetary terms in their Schedules. Saudi Arabia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Vietnam, as very recently-acceded Members shall not be required to undertake reductions in de minimis. Small low-income, recently-acceded Members with economies in transition shall not be required to make cuts in deminimis. For other RAMs with AMS commitments and which have existing de minimis levels of fiveper cent, this shall be specified in those Members' Schedules in monetary terms and reduced by at least one-third of the reduction rate specified in paragraph 1 with an implementation period that is five years longer.  Where a Member makes use of the additional flexibilities under paragraphs 12 and 13 of working document 6 to obtain product-specific AMS entitlements that it would not otherwise secure through the general base period, the corresponding product-specific de minimis entitlement that would otherwise have accrued to that Member through the general base period shall be deducted from that de minimis base for reduction commitments, thereby avoiding double counting.  The base period shall be 1995-2000.  Where a Member makes use of the additional flexibilities under paragraphs 12 and 13 above to obtain product-specific AMS entitlements that it would not otherwise secure through the general base period, the corresponding product-specific de minimis entitlement that would otherwise have accrued to that Member through the general base period shall be deducted from that de minimis base for reduction commitments, thereby avoiding double counting.  The base period shall be 1995-2000.  This shall be applicable to Albania, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyz Republic and Moldova.
