Question 3 of 6
3. Question
With reference to Peace Clause of WTO , consider the following statements,
1. Under this, WTO members refrain from challenging any breach in the prescribed subsidy ceiling.
2. India has invoked the peace clause at the WTO for the fifth consecutive time due to breaching the prescribed subsidy limit for rice offered to its farmers.
Which of these statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
WTO’s Peace Clause: WTO members refrain from challenging any breach in the prescribed subsidy ceiling given by a developing nation at the dispute settlement forum of the WTO.
Subsidy ceiling: Under the global trade norms, a WTO member country’s food subsidy bill should not breach the limit of 10 percent of the value of production based on the reference price of 1986-88.
India has been seeking amendments to the formula for calculating this food subsidy cap.
As an interim measure, the WTO members at the Bali ministerial meeting in December 2013 agreed to put in place a mechanism popularly called the Peace Clause and committed to negotiating an agreement for a permanent solution.
This clause will be there till a permanent solution is found to the food stockpiling issue.
While the ‘peace clause’ allows developing countries to breach the 10% ceiling without invoking legal action by members, it is subject to onerous notification requirements and numerous conditions such as not distorting global trade and not affecting food security of other members.
