The framework agreement for the next WTO round commits member countries to agree detailed rules, including an end date, for the parallel elimination of all forms of export subsides and for the introduction of disciplines on all export measures with equivalent effect. This approach should ensure equal competition on the world market for all exporters. The final terms of the new WTO agreement will be considered by the WTO Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong next December.
