1. India has notified WTO members that it exceeded its trade-distorting subsidy entitlement for rice in marketing year 2019/20.

docs.wto.org/dol2fe/Pages/S…

1/4 Image
Developing countries’ limits for trade-distorting farm support = 10% of value of production.

India’s $6.3bn for rice exceeds the $4.6bn limit (10% of $46bn in footnote 2)

This was for buying into food security stocks, so it escapes legal challenge

2. Did Trump’s subsidies for American farmers exceed US limits in the WTO?

No, says the latest US notification for 2018/19. Total trade-distorting support was $13bn. The limit is $19bn.

Why?

A group of countries has proposed a WTO ministerial declaration on sanitary/phytosanitary (SPS) measures (food safety, animal/plant health) in trade

The target is the year-end ministerial conference.

The draft has some intriguing points … 🍗🥩

docs.wto.org/dol2fe/Pages/S…

1/4
1. The WTO SPS Agreement is “as relevant and applicable today as [ever], and [continues] to safeguard the right for Members to take measures necessary for the protection of human, animal or plant life or health”

The SPS Committee improves implementation via transparency

2/4
2. But the world is changing. The draft proposes a new work programme (don’t yawn)—but not negotiating new obligations or amending the SPS Agreement

3. Interesting: the countries NOT on the list—eg EU, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, UK. Why? …

Moutier will vote on Sunday for the ninth time in 71 years on whether it wants to belong to the French-speaking canton of Jura or stay with German-speaking Bern.

@swissinfo_en traces the history back to deals struck at the post-Napoleon Vienna Conference

swissinfo.ch/eng/moutier--t…
The count at Moutier is live streamed: facebook.com/watch/live/?v=…

Ballots closed at noon. Counting began close to13:00. 3½ hours later and they're still counting.

Moutier has a population of 7,500. Last time about 4,000 voted.

And they're still counting. Checking every voter?
And finally the result. Moutier is set to leave Bern and join Jura by 2114 votes for, 1740 against.
