Domestic Support

The Domestic Support dataset captures notifications from Members regarding their Current Total Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS), as well as any new or modified domestic support measures for which they claim exemption from reduction commitments. Least-Developed Countries (LDCs) report every second year while the remaining members provide information annually.

Members provide details of all domestic support measures applied during the reporting year, including their monetary values.

- Green Box measures (Annex 2)

- Blue Box measures (Article 6.5)
