Abstract

The Nairobi Ministerial Decision on Export Competition was lauded as WTO ’ s most significant outcome on agriculture negotiations. However, despite the Decision ’ s requirement that WTO developed country Members immediately eliminate their export subsidies, only Australia has revised its schedule of commitments, scrapping all its export subsidy entitlements. This article therefore analyses the relationship of the Nairobi Decision with the existing obligations under the WTO Agreement on Agriculture; the legal value of the Decision; the challenges in identifying the nature of the Decision; and, whether and how it could have been drafted in a better way to facilitate its implementation.
