Actual or potential violations of subsidy or market access commitments for rice, sugar and horticultural products by Costa Rica, Thailand, the EU and Indonesia featured in the WTO Agriculture Committee meeting on 14 November 2012.
The committee, which comprises all 157 WTO members, also continued to consider ways of improving the way information is shared and consultations are held among members on export restrictions, a particular concern of countries that rely on food imports. In one specific case, members asked whether Ukraine is planning to limit wheat exports — Ukraine said it is not.
