Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, conducted from 1986 to 1994 under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), resulted in a variety of "disciplines" intended to liberalize agricultural trade. Such trade in some GATT countries is directed through entities called "state trading enterprises." Some U.S. agricultural producers are concerned that state trading enterprises may operate in ways that bypass these disciplines. This report is one in a series that GAO plans to issue on the nature of state trading in other countries and the treatment of state trading enterprises in GATT and by the new World Trade Organization. GAO discusses (1) GATT members' reporting of state trading enterprise activities from 1990-94, (2) Uruguay Round results contained in GATT 1994 that related to state trading enterprises, (3) Uruguay Round results contained in the Agreement on Agriculture that relate to state trading enterprises, (4) the potential for an increase in state trading enterprises under GATT and the World Trade Organization, and (5) U.S. efforts to monitor the activities of other nations' state trading enterprises with respect to requirements of GATT and the World Trade Organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the activities of other countries' agricultural state trading enterprises (STE), focusing on: (1) General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) members' reporting of STE activities from 1980 to 1994; (2) Uruguay Round commitments relating to STE; (3) the potential increase of STE under GATT and the World Trade Organization (WTO); and (4) U.S. efforts to monitor the activities of other countries' STE with respect to GATT and WTO requirements. GAO found that: (1) some information on STE in GATT member countries has been obtained through the notification process, but only about 21 percent of the member countries complied with the reporting requirement between 1980 and 1994; (2) GATT and WTO officials attributed the noncompliance to definitional problems, the lack of a systematic review of STE notifications, and the overall burden and the low priority that some member countries assigned to GATT reporting; (3) WTO officials plan to evaluate the questionnaire used to collect information about STE in order to improve member countries' compliance with the reporting requirements; (4) the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture requires member countries to reduce market access restrictions, export subsidies, and internal support and report on how they complied with these commitments, beginning in 1996; (5) while countries like Russia and China are undertaking privatization efforts to move toward more market-oriented economies, the role of STE in GATT and WTO will likely increase if these countries become members of GATT and WTO; and (6) the U.S. Trade Representative is responsible for monitoring STE activities and their compliance with Uruguay Round commitments, while the Foreign Agricultural Service and the Foreign Commercial Service are responsible for monitoring STE activities in the countries where they are located and reporting on STE activities as needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Uruguay Round agreements on agriculture were intended to move member countries toward a fair and market-oriented agricultural trading system. But in practice, state trading enterprises with monopoly power or exclusive rights in agricultural trade in major products still prevail in many countries. And significant price distortions still exist in trade in products subject to state trading.The Uruguay Round agreements on agriculture were intended to move member countries toward a fair and market-oriented agricultural trading system. By progressively reducing domestic government support and export subsidies, converting nontariff barriers to tariffs, and reducing barriers to market access, members were committed to reducing distortions in world agricultural trade and in preventing new distortions from arising.But state trading enterprises with monopoly power or exclusive rights in agricultural trade in major products are still prevalent in both industrial and developing countries. In many countries, the operations of these state trading agencies tend in practice to nullify the intended objectives of the concessions on market access reached in the Uruguay Round. And there are still significant price distortions in trade in products subject to state trading.This paper - a product of the Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to evaluate the progress of trade liberalization and their effects on developing countries.

Download or read book State Trading in the Twenty First Century written by Thomas Cottier and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of Michigan Press is pleased to announce the first volume in an annual series, The World Trade Forum. The Forum's members include scholars, lawyers, and government and business practitioners working in the area of international trade, law, and policy. They meet annually and discuss integration issues in international economic relations, focusing on a new theme each year. The central topic of the first World Trade Forum is state trading. To what extent has trade liberalization, as we have experienced it over the last fifty years, affected property ownership? Contributors to the 1998 World Trade Forum explore this question, examining both state practice and the regulatory framework. Their discussions are divided into three parts: Part 1 looks at the World Trade Organization's legal framework for state trading enterprises, taking on such issues as monopolies and state enterprises, the WTO Antidumping Agreement and the economies in transition, and relationship of state trading and the Government Purchasing Act. Part 2 deals with regional experiences in state trading (for the EC, United States, Canada, Japan, China, and Russia). Part 3 examines conceptual issues such as auctions as a trade policy instrument and rule-making alternatives for entities with exclusive rights. The conclusion synthesizes the foregoing chapters in discussing the reach of modern international trade law. Contributors are Frederick Abbott, Ichiro Araki, Christian Bach, Jacques H. J.
