The Doha Development Agenda: Issues of Process and Substance Parr Rosson Texas Cooperative Extension Texas A&M University System American Agricultural Economics Association, Annual Meetings

Process Substance-Not Much Progress 740+ Brackets in Text Three Pillars of Policy Reform Trade Distorting Domestic Support Market Access Export Competition Doha Development Agenda

Process: Doha Timeline Initiated Negotiations in Agriculture, March 2000 (WTO Ag Committee) Doha ‘Round’ Began November 2001, Doha, Qatar Cancun, 2003-Failure Geneva, 2004-Work Program, Modest Success Year 1, 20% Cut in Trade Distorting Domestic Support & Export Competition Hong Kong, 2005-Faliure

Process (continued) April 2006, Modalities-Failure June 2006, Modalities-Failure July 2006-DG Lamy’s Shuttle Diplomacy, Results Pending, But ‘Crisis’ Acknowledged & G-8 Briefed July 31, 2006-Modalities & Schedules: DG Lamy Suspends DDA, July 24, 2006 December 31, 2006-Negotiations Were to Conclude July 1, 2007 Trade Promotion Authority Expires

Agricultural Trade Weighted Tariffs Source: Jean, Laborde and Martin (2005a) Average Bound tariff % MFN applied Tariff % Actual applied Tariff % Developed Countries Developing Countries Less Developed WORLD ‘Binding Overhang’ is Problematic Any Negotiated Reductions Start at Bound Rates

Impact of Proposals on Ag Tariffs 70% 30% ‘Negotiating Gap’ of 40%

Tariff Cuts, Developed Countries Summary, EU, US & G-20 Proposals by WTO Chair, Ag Committee, June 22, 2006.

Reductions summarized by WTO Chair, Ag Committee, June 22, Tariff Cuts, Developing Countries

Sensitive Product Designation-All Countries 1% vs. 15% of Tariff Lines, with 10,000+ Lines, 100 vs. 1,500 Protected Products 20% Designated Sensitive, 90% of G-20 Ag Trade Protected, So No Real Increase in Market Access Special Products-Developing & Less Developed Countries Longer Time Period/Less Reduction Special Safeguards-All Issue: Way Too Much Protection to Provide Significant Market Access Other Market Access Issues

Food Aid Cash vs. In-Kind Export Credits < 180 Most Cases State Trading Enterprises Eliminate Monopoly Power Differential Export Taxes-Little Progress Export Subsidies Eliminate by 2013 Export Competition

Where Are We in Doha?? Negotiations Suspended Indefinitely U.S. Under Pressure from EU & G-20 to Offer More in TDDS Cuts U.S. Pressuring EU, Japan & G-20 to Cut Tariffs More EU Resistant, Especially France TPA Expiration Looms Very Difficult Time in U.S. Congress Might TPA Be Extended to Support Bilateral/Regional and MTN??

Implications of Doha Failure Five Years Down the Drain Continued Restrictions on ‘South- South’ Trade, Stifling Development Protectionism & All that Accompanies It Credibility & Future of WTO, Especially Related to Agriculture More Litigation/Dispute Settlement?

Summary Suspension is a Setback, May Be Overcome Market Access Sensitive Product Designation Possible Loophole Deep Tariff Cuts for Developing Countries Difficult to Reconcile Export Competition Elimination of Subsidies is Significant U.S. vs. EU/G-20 Very Far Apart on Reductions in Tariffs & TDDS Who Really Loses from Failure?

G-20 Member Countries Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Egypt, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Philippines, S. Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uruguay, Venezuela, Zimbabwe
