I would like to offer some preliminary comments on one of these papers. The one on "Agricultural Trade Performance by Developing Countries" (G/AG/NG/S/6). It deals with the performance of developing countries during the period pre- and post- Uruguay Round. It bases its analysis on data covering the period of 1990 to 1998. A first reading of this paper may lead Members, as it led us, to a somewhat surprising perception that the liberalization provided by the Agreement on Agriculture, although modest, has produced some positive impact to developing countries' agricultural exports. As a developing country that participates in the agricultural world market as an importer and exporter of food, Brazil can say from experience that there is still vast room to improve the agricultural trade performance of developing countries. The section on "Highlights" and the supporting tables seem to suggest that liberalization of agricultural world market has been positive for developing countries. In this context, the paper presents some key features, such as: - "over the period 1994 to 1997, the growth of agricultural exports from developing countries accelerated as compared to the first half of the 1990s"; - "agricultural exports of developing countries expanded more rapidly than those of the developed countries"; - "developing countries' import markets are becoming increasingly important as outlets for agricultural exports from developing countries"; and so on. These key features, while correct, may have different interpretations. For example: - to say that from 1994 to 1997, the growth of agricultural exports from developing countries accelerated as compared to the first half of the 1990s is a correct assumption. The emphasis, however, is excessive because the year of 1998 was excluded. If included, and the Secretariat did mention that, the picture would be another one: an annual growth of 3.7 per cent for the period 1994-1998 versus 6.1 per cent from 1990-1994; - as for the agricultural exports of developing countries, which expanded more rapidly than those of the developed countries, the supporting tables identify an increase of only 1 per cent in the share of developing countries in the period of 1994 to 1998. This minimal increase, within the range of statistical errors, means that our share has raised from 41 Н per cent to 42 Н per cent. Again, while correct, this information has to be put under the right perspective: developing countries, which comprise three-quarters of this Organization, are responsible for less than half of the world agricultural exports. This conclusion is even more worrisome if we take into consideration that agriculture is the backbone of developing countries' economies. In sum, developing countries need a bigger share; - The paper also flags that developing countries' import markets are becoming increasingly important as outlets for agricultural exports from developing countries. From the point of view of developing countries, this information means, among other factors, that there is more trade and less protectionism among developing countries. As for developed countries, however, it could be interpreted that the richest countries are, as the OECD pointed out in a recent study, increasing their levels of support and protection. The same OECD paper says – and I quote – "in many [developed] countries, agriculture is only weakly influenced by market signals". - According to the Secretariat's paper, Western Europe is the most important market for agricultural exports from developing countries. But, let us not forget that Europe's share of imports has declined; so has Japan's. Another information that reinforces the Brazilian perception that agricultural reform is necessary and urgent is the fact that developed countries' imports of agricultural products from developing countries grew less in the post-Uruguay Round period than in the preceding period. For Brazil, the Uruguay Round has asked for a lot in terms of concessions and commitments and has still to deliver the expected results in terms of market access to our products. To conclude, let me just say that Brazil found the structure of document G/AG/NG/S/6 quite innovative. It is the only background paper that presents a section called "highlights". We could not find the same approach in the background papers on export subsidies or domestic support. We would like to see a balance or a harmonized approach to all papers. Additionally, Brazil would like to ask the Secretariat to update this paper so as to include analysis of the performance of raw products against value added exports of developing countries. We would also like some additional information on the participation of developing countries in the agricultural trade of products that compete with the exports of developed countries; the same for the main products that receive export subsidies and domestic support from developed countries. We would also ask for this analysis to address both the questions of value and volume in order to measure the real growth of developing countries' exports. __________ G/AG/NG/W/22 Page  PAGE 2 G/AG/NG/W/22 Page  PAGE 1 . /. ,;EIrŠРСавхxžКОѕБМабзийкђѓљњћќњјєђяђђђјђђђђъъчъъъчъmH jUCJ5:CJ,>* 5:CJ,$ ,9:;EFїђђк ађЖpађђž0ђђ~ $$–lж0+p#$$–l4ж+p# $$–l”ˆџ4ж+p# $d„ўЄ№$$$–l4ж+p#`$$$dh$ ,.9:;<=>?@ABCEFGHIbr†‡ˆ‰ŠСбвцчш†‡$%абЭЮГ Д L M М Н V W ­ Ў ^ _ ‡ˆїјЦЧ,-ЏАБМНОийлмн§§§ћ§§ћ§§љљћ§љљљљљљљљљћ§§ћ§§ѕћљљљљѓѓљёљљљ  WFGHIbr†‡ˆ‰ŠСбвцчш†‡$%абЭЮњњьјњњтжддбЮЮдЮЮддддддддд$$ $$–lж+p# $ Ц арР!Т@$$–l”`џж+p#$$ЮГ Д L M М Н V W ­ Ў ^ _ ‡ˆїјЦЧ,-ЏАБМ§§їїїїїїїїїїїїїїїї§§§§§§§§§є$„ „`њМНОлмно§ўџ§§єєєђщщщфс§§§$ Цр Ц арР!B# Ц арР! ' 0&P Аƒ.
