Executive Summary

Sensitive products are agricultural goods that will be shielded from the general tariff reduction
formula in exchange for expanded quotas. The July Draft Modalities clarify that all tariff lines will be
“eligible” for designation as a sensitive product.

Countries will have the liberty to determine their particular allocations within a given percentage
of agricultural products. However, in two exceptional circumstances, countries will be allowed to
enlarge their allocation of sensitive products.

There are two consequences of designating a tariff line as sensitive. Firstly, the product receives
a reduced tariff cut, or a deviation from the general formula applicable to all agricultural goods.
Secondly, to compensate for the reduced tariff cut, new market access opportunities are created
through an expansion of existing tariff rate quotas. The amount of the expansion or creation of tariff
rate quotas presents a technical difficulty because domestic consumption data is, in a lot of cases,
only accessible at the broad‘product category’ level. In helping to overcome this tricky issue, the May
Draft Modalities proposed a definition of ‘product categories’ in Annex A, reflecting the results of the
negotiation carried out by the Friends of the Chair Group throughout March and April.

The July Draft considers two approaches for tariff rate quota expansion in Annex C. Importing Members,
such as the EU and the G-10, would like to designate only a few tariff lines of all those included in
a particular sector. Therefore, they would like to expand tariff rate quotas using calculations based
on levels domestic consumption of those very specific tariff lines. This approach is called ‘partial
designation.’ Alternatively, exporting Members, such as the Cairns Group and the G-20, prefer a
‘product’ approach. This approach consists of expanding tariff rate quotas at broad ‘product category’
level when a tariff line within it is designated as ‘sensitive.’

In general, the ‘partial designation’ approach reduces the benefit of tariff rate quota expansion
for those WTO Members that are strong agricultural exporters, in comparison with the ‘product’
approach. Not only is the ‘ partial designation’ approach more developed

The resulting tariff rate quotas for sensitive products will be scheduled and applied on a most-
favoured-nation basis, and implementation periods for the tariff rate quota expansion will be three
years. On the first day of the implementation, the tariff rate quota expansion shall be at least one
third of the total tariff rate quota expansion and the remaining two-thirds shall be put in force at the
end of each subsequent twelve-month period.

More than previous drafts, the July Draft develops requirements on in-quota tariffs for tariff rate
quotas. However, it continues to express the tariff cut in a range or percentages. A zero-cut on in-
quota tariff is considered only in cases where tariffs are bound at or below five percent.

Sensitive Products will be self-designated by either developed or developing countries, so there are no
eligibility criteria set out in the Draft Modalities text. Given this, there is a need to develop indicators
that identify products likely to be declared sensitive. It is important to take into account that there is
neither a single indicator that by its own discerns the sensitiveness of a product, nor a single indicator

Draft Agricultural Modalities

valid for all countries. Therefore, a mix of indicators is essential. All possible indicators are imperfect,
and so the result of applying them will reach an approximation of the final list of sensitive products.

This paper develops indicators based upon the instruments utilised by countries in the Uruguay Round
to protect their products from imports (“Indicators based on the Uruguay Round”), or by any other
relevant feat of the importing country in the negotiation process that might prove that it is thinking
of considering a particular product as sensitive (“Indicators based on the Doha Round”).

The indicators based on the Uruguay Round are: the high level of bound tariffs, products with bound
right to apply Agriculture Special Safeguard, the products that applied the Agricultural Special
Safeguard and the products subject to Tariff Rate Quotas.

Additionally, the indicators based on the Doha Round are: the product categories for which countries
presented consumption data in the Doha Negotiation process of methods for sensitive product tariff
rate quota expansion, the products identified as “core product” in the two-step methodology, and the
products with a high level of “Common Consumption Allocation Share” in the two-step methodology.

All the above mentioned indicators are combined as follows. The first selection of possible sensitive
products is made taking into account the tariff lines that fulfill at least two indicators based on the
Uruguay Round. Then, an additional filter is applied using the indicators based on the Doha Round.
This filter consists of selecting the “core” tariff lines within the product categories that appear in
the domestic consumption data provided by importing Members. There are some cases where this
additional filter is not enough because the number of possible sensitive products is considerably
higher than the number of possible sensitive products that would be allowed. Therefore the paper
uses an additional filter. This consists of selecting the two tariff lines with the highest Common
Consumption Allocation Share within the product categories that appear in the domestic consumption
data provided by country Members in the last months.

The above-mentioned indicators are used to analyze the cases of sensitive product designation in
Canada, the EU, Japan and the US.

In Canada, there are 150 products at the 8-digit level that satisfy at least two indicators. This number
of possible sensitive products is greater than Canada’s allocation of six percent of tariff lines (81
tariff lines). Therefore, an additional filter is applied. It consists of selecting the “core” tariff lines
within the product categories that appear in the most recent domestic consumption data provided by
Members. Taking this into account, the number of most likely sensitive products is reduced to 77 tariff
lines and very near the six percent of the total tariff lines that would be allowed to be designated as
sensitive.

The most likely sensitive products belong to four sectors and 14 product categories. The sectors are:
dairy products, eggs, hatching eggs and meats, and; the product categories are: butter, buttermilk,
cheese, condensed evaporated milk, fluid milk, ice cream, other dairy, powdered whey, whole milk
powder, yogurt, eggs in shell, processed eggs, hatching eggs and live chicks and poultry meat.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development 

In Canada, nearly all of the dairy sector could be selected as sensitive and the poultry meat product
category could be the product category with the highest quantity of sensitive products in the meat
sector. This is consistent with consultations made in Geneva.

For the EU, there are 315 tariff lines at the 8-digit level that at least complete two Uruguay Round
indicators. The number of possible sensitive products for the EU is considerably higher than the
number that would be allowed. Therefore, we applied an additional filter. We selected the two
tariff lines with the highest Common Consumption Allocation Share within the product categories
that appear in the domestic consumption data provided by Members. With this, a list of most likely
sensitive products is contains 141 tariff lines, a number close to the EU’s limit of six percent of tariff
lines (132 tariff lines).

The most likely sensitive products would belong to seven sectors and 35 product categories. The
sectors would be: cereals, dairy products, eggs, eggs hatching, fruits and vegetables, meats and
sweeteners, and; the products categories would be: barley, corn, oat, rice, sorghum, starch, wheat,
butter, cheese, other dairy, skim milk powder, powdered whey, whole milk powder, yogurt, processed
eggs, hatching eggs and live chicks, apples-fresh, garlic-fresh, grapes-fresh, lemons-fresh, mushrooms
agaricus-prepared-or-preserved, olives-prepared-or-preserved, onion-prepared-or-preserved,
peaches-fresh, pears-fresh, plums-fresh, tomatoes-fresh, beef and veal, meat offal, pork and wild
boar, poultry meat, sheep meat, fructose, glucose and sugar. Consultations in Geneva led us consider
that that the orange juice and ethanol product categories could also contain sensitive products.

In Japan, there are 120 tariff lines that at least satisfy two indicators based on the Uruguay Round.
Due to the fact that Japan has consolidated its tariffs at the 6-digit level and has the right to designate
a further two percent of tariff lines as sensitive, they have access to a total of eight percent of tariff
lines to declare as sensitive. Using an additional filter consisting of selecting the “core” tariff lines
within the product categories from the domestic consumption data provided by Japan, the number of
most likely sensitive products could be 77 tariff lines. This is less than the 81 tariff lines that could be
allowed if Members agree to establish a maximum of six percent of total tariff lines as the limit for
the number of permitted sensitive products.

The product categories that would contain sensitive products in Japan are: barley, rice, starch,
triticale, wheat, butter, buttermilk, condensed/evaporated milk, fluid milk, other dairy, skim milk
powder, whey powdered, whole milk powder, yogurt, beans broad-dried, beans kidney-dried, beans
other-dried, beans small read-dried, beans vigna-phassolus-dried, konnyaku, peas-dried, silk, meat
offal, pork and wild boar and groundnuts. These product categories can be grouped in six sectors:
cereals, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, fibres, meats and oils, but the dairy sector could
contain the highest quantity of sensitive products. Officials familiar with the matter affirm that these
products are very likely to be included.

It is important to note that in the cereal product categories, the additional filter applied could omit
some processed products in Chapters 11, 19 and 21 that could be declared as sensitive.

For the US, products at the 8-digit level that at least fulfil two of Uruguay Round indicators apply
to 192 tariff lines. Using the same additional filter as in the cases of Canada and Japan, the number
 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities

of likely sensitive products could be reduced to 84 tariff lines. These would include the following
product categories: butter, buttermilk, cheese, condensed/evaporated milk, ice cream, other dairy,
skim milk powder, whey powdered, whole milk powder, yogurt and sugar. All of these belong to two
sectors: dairy products and sweeteners.

The greatest number of sensitive products would be in the dairy sector, and almost all product categories
in it could contain sensitive products. It must be mentioned that in the sugar product category, the
additional filter applied could omit from its selection some processed products in Chapters 17, 18, 19
and 21 that could be declared as sensitive. Other product categories that do not fulfil any indicators
based on the UR but are in the US list of domestic consumption and could be declared as sensitive are:
garlic-dried, lemons-juice, agaricus mushrooms-prepared or preserved, orange juice, peaches-frozen,
peaches/nectarines-prepared or preserved, pears-prepared or preserved. On the other hand, there
are some product categories with some products that have been heavily protected in the past, but do
not appear to be likely sensitive products because the US has yet to submit the domestic consumption
data for these products. The product categories are: groundnuts, other oilseed oils (margarine),
fructose, glucose, maple sugar, cotton and tobacco.

After approximating the products that are likely to be designated as sensitive, we can better asses
how developing countries may be affected. We therefore examined the main exporters of the likely
sensitive products criteria with two criteria. One is to identify the three main developing country
exporters in 2006 (taking into account the value of their world exports). The other criterion is to define,
for each possible sensitive product, the exporting developing countries that have a high concentration
of the products in their agricultural exports. Here, as well as for the previous criterion, the three
developing countries with the highest concentration of sensitive products in their agricultural exports
are selected.

Many possible sensitive products are exported by developing countries. These developing countries
will suffer a reduction in the potential benefits that an agreement on agriculture would generate.
For example, in Brazil, the exports of raw sugar cane represent 53 percent of world exports in this
product; in Thailand, the exports of manioc (cassava) starch are equivalent to 69 percent of the
world trade; in Myanmar, the exports of dried leguminous vegetables are the 55 percent of the world
exports; and, in China, the exports of dried beans, onions, raw silk and garlic, represent 45 percent,
56 percent, 76 percent and 66 percent, respectively, of world exports.

There are some products where, despite the fact that no developing country has a high share of the
world market, developing countries altogether represent the majority of world exports. Some cases
are: rice in Thailand, Pakistan and Vietnam, kidney beans in Argentina, China and Kyrgyz Republic;
groundnuts in shell in China, India and Egypt; and, poultry meat in Thailand, China and Brazil among
others.

Some developing countries have a high concentration in their agricultural exports of products that
are likely to be sensitive in selected developed countries. Among these cases Botswana, Namibia and
Uruguay are remarkable for their exports of boneless bovine cuts, Guyana for its husked rice exports,
Oman for powdered milk, The Gambia for its exports in shelled ground-nuts and Jordan for its exports
of tomatoes.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development 

Some selected developing countries currently enjoy preferential access for some products in some
of the developed countries considered. In these cases, the sensitive product designation would be
positive for them because their preferences would not be as eroded.

Although the May and July Draft Modalities consider two approaches for expanding tariff rate quotas,
the partial designation approach is much more developed and seems to be the final methodology that
will be applied.

In general terms the partial designation approach, which was developed by the Friends of the Chair
Group, follows a very complex methodology which allows countries to allocate domestic consumption
at the 8-digit level, and in general cases reduces the benefits of tariff rate quota expansion, relative
to the “product approach,” for agricultural exporter. Many exceptions are made in the methodology
to address the particular interests of the countries that authored this approach.

Moreover, it is important to remark that this methodology includes a lot of variables that are difficult
to verify. These include, the “National Product Import Content Coefficient” used in the “net-trade”
adjustment, the “Member Product Content Coefficient” used in the second step of the two-step
methodology and the “Product Import Content Coefficient” applied in accounting for tariff rate quota
fulfilment.

For some categories within the cereal sector and the sugar product category the identification of core
tariff lines, with at least 90 percent of the domestic consumption, is positive because the core tariff
lines are few and they are manly those with the lowest level of processing with the highest chance of
being selected as sensitive. In the other product categories this identification is not so important or
it is indifferent in some cases.

An exception is made for some dairy, fruits and vegetables in the methodology for tariff rate quota
expansion. I It can be concluded that this decreases the rate of the expansion for tariff rate quotas. This
exceptional treatment would be used by the EU, Japan and the US for some fruits and vegetables.

According to the information provided by the EU in fresh product categories, if the EU designated as
sensitive only products in the fresh category, the minimum floor of 1.5 percent of the total domestic
consumption of the entire product would not be useful because it is lower, in almost all cases, than
three percent of the domestic consumption of the fresh product category (which would be the general
floor). Therefore, this alternative to the tariff rate quota expansion floor, which was established
only for fresh product categories, does not seem to be an important concession made by importing
countries.

Another exception for the general tariff rate quota expansion consists of a maximum of two product
categories that could be exempted from the general floor for tariff rate quota expansion that will
be agreed upon. In Canada, it could be used for the cheese and processed eggs product categories;
in the EU, for the cheese and pork and wild boar meat product categories; in Japan for other dairy
and pork and wild boar product categories, and; in the US for the cheese and orange juice product
categories.
 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities

As a general rule, for any given product category a single tariff rate quota shall be established for
products designated as senstive. However, this general rule for the scheduling of tariff rate quotas has
a provision for exceptions: sub-allocation.

A country to will be able to select three product categories for sub-allocation, with a maximum of
two tariff rate quotas. This could be applied in Canada in the other dairy and poultry meat product
categories, in the EU in the beef meat, poultry meat and sugar product categories, in Japan in
the barley, rice and sugar product categories and in the US in the other dairy and sugar product
categories.

On the other hand, country Members that designate sensitive products at the 7-digit level and forfeit
their right to use the minimum tariff quota expansion will benefit from different disciplines for tariff
rate quota sub-allocation (the 60-20-20 approach and the 70-30 approach). This exceptional treatment
was included for Norway.

According to the information provided by Norway, the 60-20-20 approach could be used in the beef
and veal and pork product categories. Instead, the 70-30 approach could be applied in the poultry
product category. A logical conclusion would be that the use of this exceptional treatment would
allow Norway to reduce the tariff rate quota expansion for the bigger tariff rate quota in the product
category.

Finally, despite the fact that this paper is an attempt to contribute to the clarification of some
important issues regarding the designation of sensitive products and the possible tariff rate quota
expansion for those products, Members should put in the picture, as soon as possible, the final official
sensitive products list. This should highlight the products that would receive exceptional treatment so
that negotiators, policymakers, and other stakeholders can make a more accurate assessment about
the achievement of Doha’s goals.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
1. introduction
In paragraph 13 of the Doha Declaration, Ministers
of WTO country Members committed themselves to
comprehensive negotiations aimed at ‘substantial
improvements’ in agricultural market access. That
improvement is being put into practice through a
general ‘tiered’ tariff reduction formula, where
the highest bound tariffs face the steepest cuts,
with developing countries benefiting from smaller
reductions. The resulting tariff will be the maximum
duty permitted for a particular product and a particular
country in future WTO disciplines.
On February 8th, Chair Falconer introduced to WTO
Members a new Draft Modalities text on Agriculture
(hereinafter ‘February Draft Modalities’). Sixteen
working documents (WD) released sequentially from
last November to the very beginning of January
preceded this document. Those WD received comments
by the Members, which were considered in this Draft
Modalities.
Technical negotiations continued through March. On
April 3rd, a subset of the “Friends of the Chair Group”
– composed of Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, the EU
and the US - put forward a new complex proposal on
expanding trade in sensitive products (the so called
“partial designation”) in an attempt to overcome the
remaining technical difficulties on the subject matter.
Though this text was quite controversial, a new Draft
Modalities text (hereinafter ‘May Draft Modalities’),
including treatment of this topic, was released on May
19th.
On July 10th a new revised Draft Modalities was
released. This was in preparation for the mini-
Ministerial planned for the end of July in Geneva.
There were few changes between the May and July
drafts.
As in the preceding documents, the July Draft
Modalities proposes two main flexibilities from the
general reduction formula: ‘sensitive’ products (SeP),
available to all WTO Members, and; ‘special’ products
(SP), which only developing countries may designate
to safeguard their food and livelihood-security, as well
as rural development needs. This paper focuses only
on the first kind: sensitive products.
Unlike their ‘special’ counterparts, sensitive products
need not conform to any particular criteria. They will
be self-designated by either developed or developing
countries and will be subject to lesser tariff cuts than

those required by the general formula. However, the
smaller tariff reduction must be compensated by a
corresponding tariff rate quota (TRQ) expansion for
the product in question.
The two main topics concerning sensitive products are
the number of products that could be designated and
the treatment accorded to those products. Falconer’s
July text is a new attempt to address the difficult
issues on the basis of a consensus.
This paper attempts to explore how the designation
of sensitive products by a Member will affect imports
from other Members. This is not an easy task because
there is little clarity regarding the methodology
countries will use to designate products as sensitive,
given that no objective criteria have been evaluated
in negotiations.
Additionally, we intend to shed some light on which
products would be designated as sensitive by a select
group of developed countries, taking into special
consideration how they might affect exports from
developing countries. A “detective methodology” is
followed in order to select the clues, shape them,
and consequently, try to determine what products
Members will regard as sensitive.
On the treatment of sensitive products, the most
complex issue is to decide when the reduced sensitive
product tariff cut is being satisfactorily compensated
by new market access opportunities, in order to
achieve the agreed “substantial improvement”. This
discussion is involves a great amount of technical
work, including the development of a quite complex
mechanism: the “partial designation” approach.
The following Section analyzes the sensitive product
regime proposed in Falconer’s July 2008 agriculture
modalities text in plain language, including how
sensitive products relate to other instruments
considered in the market access pillar. Section
three describes the clues considered in this paper,
explaining why they are chosen and how they are
used and combined. Section four identifies those
tariff lines that, applying the selected indicators, are
the most likely to be eligible as sensitive products
in main developed countries: Canada, the European
Union (EU), Japan and the United States (US). Section
five specifically considers how the selected sensitive
product tariff lines affect exports from developing
countries, while Section six analyzes the “partial
designation approach” considered in the May and July
Draft Modalities and its consequences in opening the

products. Finally, the last Section enumerates some
conclusions.

Developed countries would have a compulsory minimum
overall average, which is proposed to be 54 percent.
To achieve this average, sensitive product reductions
and additional cuts provided for tropical products and
more sensitive products a Member selects, the more
likely it is that they might be forced to further reduce
tariffs on non-sensitive products (depending on the
final figures). The July modalities are more flexible
in this case than the February text, given that the
latter considered some cases where additional cuts
for tropical products or tariff escalation did not count
towards the minimum average.a
The implementation period is left unchanged from the
February Modalities, at equal annual instalments over
five years for developed countries and eight years for
developing countries.
Developing countries would also use a four-tier
formula, but with broader gaps. In each band the
tariff cut would be two thirds of the cut proposed
for developed countries for that same tier (see Table
1). These countries have the right to use a maximum
overall average of 36 percent, which would give
enough flexibility to reduced cuts in some cases (not
considering the right to designate SeP and SP).

cuts. For developed countries, the formula is designed
as explained in the first four columns of Table 1.
Unlike the February Draft, the July Modalities place
precise numbers on the top three bands of the formula,
while reduction for greater tariffs still remains in
brackets.
The criteria for limiting sensitive product designation
changed for the first time in the May Draft Modalities
after remaining unchanged since the July 2007 Draft
Modalities text. In the February Draft Modalities,
like in its predecessors, the final number of sensitive
products was going to be defined after reaching an
agreement on the percentage and the type of tariff
lines (all tariff lines vs. only lines with tariff over
zero) that will be taken into consideration at the
conclusion of the agreement. Instead, the May Draft
Modalities suppresses a bracket and clarifies that all
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
tariff lines might be considered included, instead of
only “dutiable” tariff lines.
Final designation of sensitive products could be made
by each Member. The number of sensitive products
in developed countries is restricted to four or six
percent of all tariff lines. Table 2 illustrates how
many sensitive products might be possible for some
countries.
In two exceptional circumstances (ironically,
exceptions to an exceptional mechanism), the May
Draft Modalities considers that Members are allowed
to enlarge the number of their sensitive products
(paragraph 71).
The first circumstance refers to those Members which
have more than 30 percent of their tariff lines (as
set out in their WTO schedule of commitments) in
the top band of the tiered formula. Those Members
would be required to significantly reduce tariffs for
a great quantity of protected agricultural products,
which means that it would be in need of a broader
exemption. None of the developed countries analyzed
in this paper fall within this provision.
The second circumstance is relevant for those Members
whose tariffs are scheduled at the 6-digit HS level.
This is because the broad 6-digit HS level would allow
for Members to select sensitive products in a smaller
number of sectors than those Members whose tariffs
are scheduled at the 8-digit-or-more level. Among
selected countries, Japan might be the candidate for
this option.
In both exceptional cases, the Draft Modalities text
proposes to designate an additional two percent of
tariff lines for developed countries. This should be a
total of six to eight percent of tariff lines, depending
on the final numbers (paragraph 71).
Developing Members would also be entitled to use
one third more sensitive products than developed
countries. That is about five to eight percent in the and
eight to ten percent in the exceptional circumstances
described above (paragraph 72).
2.3 Sensitive products treatment
There are two main consequences of designating a
tariff line as sensitive. First, the lesser extent of tariff
cuts for Sensitve-designated-products, commonly
called ‘deviation’ from the general formula is applied
(see Table 1). The ‘deviation’ results in a higher

bound tariff than would have been the case if the
general tiered formula were applied. Second, this
benefit must be compensated by offering new market
access opportunities for those products (through TRQ)
proportional to the ‘deviation’ selected.
The July Draft Modalities (paragraph 73), like its
predecessor, encompasses three options of deviation:
one third, one half and two thirds. For each f
deviation, a specific tariff rate quota expansion is
required (paragraph 74). It is structured so that the
smaller the deviation, the higher the tariff cut and
the smaller the compensation. In contrast, the higher
the deviation, the lower the tariff cut and the higher
the compensation. Table 1, above, illustrates the
tariff cuts for each tier of the formula for sensitive
products, taking into consideration the three options
for deviation. Table 3 shows the options available in
the Draft Modalities for tariff rate quota expansion.
In the two exceptional circumstances described in
the previous Section (30 percent of tariff lines in
the higher tier of the formula or tariffs scheduled at
the 6-digit level), Members have access to additional
compensation (paragraph 75). For the amount of
tariff lines that exceed the ‘regular’ number of
sensitive products (that is, the two percent beyond
the four to six percent of tariff lines), Members could
ensure an additional 0.5 or one percent of domestic
consumption expansion. As mentioned earlier, Japan
might be the only country, among selected countries,
that can apply this provision.
If after applying all the tariff reduction commitments,
a developed Member would like to keep some of its
tariff lines in excess of 100 percent ad-valorem, it
will be able to do this only for products within its
allocation of sensitive productsb. Additionally, the
member concerned should compensate with additional
tariff rate quota expansion, equal to 0.5 percent of
domestic consumption in those tariff lines concerned
(paragraph 76). This might be interpreted as the
proverbial ‘carrot’, in order to minimize products
with tariffs above 100 percent.
This last provision might be applicable, among
selected countries, in Japan and Canada, but not in
the US and the EU. This is because the US and the EU
have less than four percent of their tariff lines above
100 percent duty if the minimum cut for sensitive
products in the top band (22 percent) with the
maximum deviation (2/3) is applied in all cases.
10 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
Paragraph 77 considers cases where actual bound tariff
rate quota volume represents a significant amount
of domestic consumption. The first case is when the
actual tariff rate quota is between 10 to 29 percent of
domestic consumption, and therefore tariff rate quota
expansion will be reduced by a half percent for each
possible deviation. The second case is when a bound
tariff rate quota represents 30 percent or more of
domestic consumption, and therefore the obligation
of tariff rate quota expansion is reduced by one
percent for any deviation chosen. These options are
more stringent than those considered in the February
text for the same cases.
Finally, paragraph 78 of the July Draft Modalities
established the special and differential treatment for
developing countries. They would allowed to expand
their sensitive product tariff rate quota to two thirds
of figures for developed countries, like in the February
Text. In addition, the May Draft Modalities include two
new alternative flexibilities for developing countries
which select sensitive products. The first is to enlarge
by three years the implementation period - to eleven
years - but taking the full formula cut. The second is
to reduce less than they otherwise would, but with no
tariff quota expansion obligation, for no more than
two thirds of designated sensitive, but with a two-
year-shorter implementation period (six years).
2.4 Tariff rate quota expansion:
“product” approach versus “partial
designation” approach
The amount of the expansion or creation of tariff rate
quotas presents a technical difficulty because domestic
consumption data is, in a lot of cases, only accessible
at a ‘product category’ level (such as bovine meat,
poultry meat or cheese) which encompasses many 6- or
8-digit tariff lines. The May Draft Modalities proposes
a definition of ‘product categories’ in Attachment A,
reflecting the results of the negotiation carried out
by the Friends of the Chair Group through March and
April. The July Draft Modalities include an increased
number of product categories, mainly in the fruits and
vegetables sector. Examples of new product categories
include fresh and dried bananas and tobacco.
Importing Members, such as the EU and the G-10,
argue that they would like to designate only a few
tariff lines of all those included in a particular sector,
so any criterion should be based on the domestic
consumption regarding individual tariff lines. This
approach is called ‘partial designation.’
On the other hand, the exporting Members, such as
the Cairns Group and the G-20, prefer a ‘product’
approach. This approach consists of expanding the
tariff rate quota for the whole ‘product category’ when
a tariff line within it is designated as ‘sensitive.’
In general terms, the ‘partial designation’ approach
diminishes the benefit of tariff rate quota expansion
for those WTO Members that are strong agricultural
exporters, in comparison with the ‘product’
approach.
Like the May Draft Modalities, the July Draft considers
these two approaches in Annex C.
The ‘product’ approach is developed in Annex C,
paragraphs one and two, and it considers that a
Member can designate any tariff lines within a
‘product category’ (that shall be defined at the 6-digit
level in an attached list), but the amount of expansion
for those goods shall be established on the basis of
the domestic consumption of the whole ‘product
category.’ It should be noted that this applies to the
first option mentioned in paragraph 80 of the July
Draft Modalities.
The ‘partial designation’ approach is developed in
paragraphs three to seven of Annex C and Attachment
Ai, and it is based on the two-step methodology for
tariff rate quota expansion. On this topic, the May
Draft Modalities reflects the proposal presented in
April by the subset of the Friends of the Chair Group.
Unlike the February Draft Modalities, the May and
July Draft Modalities presents detailed disciplines for
general and exceptional cases.
The new proposal is judged as “complex” by many
Members, so it requires an exhaustive explanation of
how it works and a careful analysis of its results, all of
which is developed later in this paper in Section 6.
In general terms this option establishes: 1) alignments
for the calculation of the domestic consumption used
for tariff rate quota expansion; 2) some clarification in
the two-step methodology used for the transformation
of the consumption data at the level of the “product
category” to the 8-digit level; 3) exceptional
treatments for the product category “other dairy
products” and product categories within the fruits
and vegetables sector; 4) minimum tariff rate quota
expansion for at most two product categories; 5) rules
for the general scheduling of tariff rate quotas; 6)
rules for exceptional cases in the scheduling of tariff
quotas—allowing the sub-allocation for at most three
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
product categories—, and; 7) some disciplines in order
to account for the tariff rate quota fulfilment.
Finally, the tariff rate quotas for sensitive products
shall be scheduled and applied erga omnes on a most-
favoured-nation basis. The implementation period for
the tariff rate quota expansion shall be three years.
On the first day of the implementation, the tariff rate
quota expansion shall be at least one third of the total
tariff rate quota expansion. The remaining two-thirds
shall be put in force at the end of each subsequent
twelve-month period (Paragraph 79).
2.5 In-quota tariff provisions
Paragraph 105 of the July Draft Modalities deals with
in-tariff rate quota bound tariffs, while footnote six of
paragraph 59 excludes these tariffs from the general
tariff reductions provisions, considering two options.
The July Draft develops the issue far more than its
predecessors.
In the July Draft Modalities, when a developed
member’s in-quota tariff is five percent or less, it
shall be diminished to zero. In all other cases, in-
quota tariff must be reduced by the highest resultant
cut produced by either: a) slashing the tariff to a
percentage between zero to 15 or, b) reducing the
tariff by taking a 50 percent to 70 percent (to be
agreed upon), as it is showed in Table 4.
The implementation period and staging are equal to
out-quota tariff for the already bound tariffs above
five percent; and for the already bound tariff at or
below five percent, the tariff shall be reduced to zero
at the end of the first year of the implementation
period.
2.6 The relationship between sensitive
products and other issues
Because of the well-known overlapping of disciplines
that might exist when applying the Draft Modalities to
single tariff lines, the relationship between sensitive
products and other issues and instruments must
be clarified. Some of the relationships find explicit
answers in the Draft Modalities, while others do not.
The July Draft Modalities excludes sensitive products
from the tariff escalation disciplines (paragraph 86).
That might be explained by the contradictory aims of
each instrument. While the senstive designation tries
to isolate tariffs from sharp cuts, the tariff escalation
regulation imposes supplementary cuts to those agreed
11
in the general formula. While one instrument focuses
on restricting market access, the other bears in mind
better market access for the products involved.
The elimination or not of the Special Agricultural
Safeguard (SSG) might influence the tariff lines chosen
as sensitive. The SSG allows countries to impose
additional tariffs when facing a volume or price
based import surge. Signatories to the Uruguay Round
reserved their right to use it even after non-tariff
barriers were converted into tariffs to implement the
Round’s commitments.
The July Draft Modalities, like prior drafts, considers
the elimination of this instrument (not specifying
if immediately or over a given period) or at least
restricting the number of scheduled products. In both
cases, this means the elimination, full or partial, of a
protectionist instrument that is often used. Affected
Members might choose to replace SSG-designated
products with sensitive products or vice versa if the
number of sensitive tariffs lines is not enough for the
country’s needs.
On the other hand, it must be understood that a
product designated with SSG could also be designated
as sensitive, because the Draft Modalities text imposes
no restraint in this regard. It is still to be resolvedif
the imports under the new tariff rate quota (those
created or the amount of expansion in the existing
tariff rate quota) will be counted towards the volume
or priced based triggers of the SSH. If the SSG is
permissible additional tariffs will be imposed on
imports. Paragraph 2 of Article 5 of the Agreement on
Agriculture considers “current and minimum access
commitments”, allowing imports to be counted for
the purpose of triggering SSG, but excluding them for
the purpose of applying the resulting additional duty.
A similar answer might be suggested for new tariff rate
quotas (in addition to current and minimum market
access commitments) in order to not impair the new
access opportunities, if the SSG is preserved.
The Draft Modalities text does not prohibit or regulate
the overlap with other protectionist devices, available
only for developing countries. Then, a product can,
at least in theory, simultaneously be a SeP, a SP and
available for the Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM).
It makes no sense to designate products as sensitive
and special at once. This is because the overlapping
will not generate any ‘plus’, in the sense of a lesser
reduction, that either the designation of sensitive or
special alone may not provide.
12 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities

The only relationship on this topic was established
explicitly in the May Draft Modalities text in footnote
17 of paragraph 118. However, this was eliminated in
the July Draft Modalities. In the May Draft Modalities,
if a developing country Member was not able to cover
the full array of tariff lines with sensitive products, it
had the right to designate them as special products.
This situation would have enabled a developing
country to transfer the ‘unused’ sensitive tariff lines
to the special products group to benefit from a lower
tariff cut.
A developing country might consider a tariff line
sensitive and also set in motion the SSM, given that
paragraph 123 of the July Draft Modalities expresses
that “The SSM shall have no a priori product limitations
as to its availability….” In case a sensitive product has
the right to apply the SSM, paragraph 125 considers
that the tariff rate quota imports, including sensitive
product tariff rate quotas, can be added up for the
purpose of triggering the SSM (except where a volume
increase is entirely attributable to a scheduled tariff
rate quota increase under Doha’s implementation
phasing). Nonetheless, the resulting additional duties
will not be imposed on them.
In the case of not clearly considering this overlap, it
would be understood that tropical product regulations
must prevail because of their speciality. This is because
it is a well acknowledged principle in law (and well
accepted by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body) that,
given two equally graded but conflicting provisions,
the most specific on the subject matter prevails. Here,
this is the case because sensitive products belong to
the realm of the general rules for tariff reductions
for general products. On the other hand, tropical
products’ tariff cut regime deals specifically with a
limited and precise group of products.
3. selection of sensitive
products: picking the clues
Sensitive products will be self-designated by either
developed or developing countries, so there is no
eligibility criteria set in the Draft Modalities text. The
recognition of the array of products that would possibly
be designated as sensitive in selected countries
requires the identification of objective indicators of
sensitiveness. We believe that these variables will
give us some ‘clues’ about the composition of a final
sensitive product list.

Another overlap might also exist between sensitive

There is neither a single indicator that by its own

 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
by taking into account the products that satisfy the
greastest number of sensitiveness indicators.
Indicators considered in this paper are based upon
the options taken by countries in the Uruguay
Round to protect their products from imports, or by
any other relevant feat of the importing country in
the negotiation process that might prove that it is
considering a particular product as a likely sensitive
product. The first type of indicators are “Indicators
based on the Uruguay Round” and the second are
identified as “Indicators based on the Doha Round”.
In the Annex, there is an inventory of the indicators
used in this document. That list elaborates upon the
reason for selection and their treatment.
3.1 Indicators based on the Uruguay
Round
Indicator 1: High level of bound tariffs
The current level of MFN bound tariffs is an essential
element of a Member’s trade policy.c High tariffs can
be the most obvious indicator of the importance of a
given product to a country.
The Doha Round aims more at reducing higher tariffs
than lower tariffs. Applying the general ‘tiered’ tariff
reduction formula, the highest bound tariffs face the
steepest cuts. The Draft Modalities allow Members to
increase the number of sensitive products if they have
more than 30 percent of their bound tariffs in the top
band of the tiered formula.
In view of these facts, it is reasonable to assert that the
WTO’s highest bound tariffs will be worrisome in case
domestic producers continue to assert the need for
protection. This is more likely for developed countries
that will not have access to other instruments of
protection, with the exception of a restricted SSG.
This indicator is based on the top six percent of highest
‘dutiable’ tariffs of the current WTO Lists of the
countries analysed. The ‘six percent’ is used because
it is the highest possible percentage in the Draft
Modalities for the designation of sensitive products.
Those products are identified with the acronym ‘Hg6’
in the tables of Section 4.
Indicator 2: Products with bound right to apply
Agriculture Special Safeguard
The SSG was thought of in the Uruguay Round (UR)
as a transitional mechanism for those agricultural
13
products that were previously protect by non-tariff
measures. The SSG was designed to be a ‘temporal’
counterbalance for the obligation to transform non-
tariff barriers into ‘ordinary customs duties.’d
The SSG temporarily increases tariffs for a given
products so that an importing country can address
price depressions in domestic markets and protect
producers against import surges. Unlike the ordinary
safeguard measure, it does not take into account
the difficulties that maybe incurred in the domestic
production of a similar product.
To have recourse to this mechanism, WTO Members
needed to designate which products would benefit
from this instrument and identify them as ‘SSG,’ in the
respective column of their list of UR commitments.
Such a designation would be a significant indication
that the tariff for those products was bound to gain
protection from foreign competition under specific
circumstances. Given that some members do not
consider bound tariff levels sufficient protection for
these products, an expectation of adverse conditions
for these products would lead them to seek the
sensitive product designation.
For this reason, products with the right to apply
the SSG are considered an adequate indicator of
sensitiveness. In Section 4, products that fulfil this
indicator are identified with the acronym ‘SSGb.’
Indicator 3: Products that applied the Agricultural Special
Safeguard
Another possible indicator of sensitiveness is the
application of the SSG. The usage of it shows that
bound tariffs were not enough protection for some
products under certain circumstances. This is a clear
clue of the vulnerability of domestic production from
foreign competition.
In this case, the last three periods notified to the WTO
Regular Committee on Agriculture is used. In Japan
and the US, it considers the notice of fiscal years 2004,
2005 and 2006; in the EU it considers the triggering
of SSG in the 1999/2000, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002
marketing years; and, finally, in Canada SSG has never
been applied.In Section 4, products that fulfil this
indicator are identified with the acronym ‘SSGa.’
Indicator 4: Products subject to Tariff Rate Quotas
The Uruguay Round compiled a list of the group of
products affected by tariff rate quotas. Tariff rate
14 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
quotas can be considered an indicator of sensitiveness
in two ways. On one hand, it is a clear import restrictive
measure, making imports, up to a certain quantity,
easier through low duties and hindering further
imports through, generally, much higher duties.
The G-20 and Cairns Group assert that only products
with bound tariff rate quotas can be selected as
sensitive. The negotiating groups take this view because
sensitive product designation will be compensated by
tariff rate quota expansion and not the creation of
tariff rate quotas. The July Draft Modalities leaves
this issue as an either or option. Depending on the
negotiations towards a final agreement, countries
may or may not be allowed to select new products
without previous tariff rate quotas as sensitive.
This indicator is identified with the acronym ‘TRQ’ in
the tables of Section 4.
3.2 Indicators based on the Doha
Round
Indicator 5: Product categories for which countries
presented consumption data in the Doha Negotiations for
sensitive product tariff rate quota expansion.
Since last year, Members have been contending with
the tariff quota expansion issue in sensitive products.
In recent months, some Members shared domestic
consumption data on some products to help others
understand about how the negotiated mechanisms
work and which data is available. Although the
members submitting the data stated that the data
did not reflect an actual or proposed list of sensitive
products many believe that the lists approximate the
relevant product categories very well.
It is reasonable to assume that Members collected
and presented consumption data for those product
categories because they are likely to contain sensitive
tariff lines. Therefore, some tariff lines may or may
not be present in a final list.
Analyzing the lists of product categories presented by
selected countries, the above assertion is quite valid.
In fact, consumption data in Canada, the EU and the US
is focused on a limited number of product categories.
Japan’s list of consumption data is a particular case
because it presents a much larger number of product
categories.
Products that meet this indicator are identified by the
acronym ‘DC’ in Section 4.
Indicator 6: Products identified as “core product” in the
two-step methodology
In the two-step methodology that it is developed in
Section 6, the “core products” are those that receive
at least 90 percent of the domestic consumption
data within a product category. These products are
mainly raw or basic traded goods with the highest
chance of being selected as sensitive. Therefore, the
“core products” would also be a possible indicator of
sensitiveness.
In Attachment A of the partial designation modalities
for sensitive products, developed in Attachment Ai
of the May Draft Modalities, the products at the 6-
digit level are split-up in core (identifying these with
the number one) and non-core (indentifying these
with the number two and zero). The “core products”
identified with the number one are raw or basic
traded goods, as was aforementioned. The non-core
products identified with the number two are those
processed products with a lower level of added value
to which some consumption will be allocated. Finally,
the non-core products signalled with the number zero
are those highly processed products (in chapters 18 to
23) and any other lines to which no consumption will
be allocated.
In the Tables listed in Section 4, the “core product”
indicator is identified with the number one, following
the previously mentioned methodology.
Indicator 7: Products with a high level of “Common
Consumption Allocation Share” in the two-step
methodology
Another possible indicator of sensitiveness, where
the number of possible sensitive products is large,
is to use the products with a high level of “Common
Consumption Allocation Share” within a product
category.
This share is used in the two-step methodology and
it is the result of combining the share of the 6-digit
lines in the world trade of the product category and
the rule that at least 90 percent of the domestic
consumption must be delivered into the “core” lines
within a product category.
This indicator summarizes, on one hand, the most
tradable tariff lines in the world within a product
category. Thesecould be the most dangerous products
for importing countries that want to protect national
production of these products. On the other hand, it
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
reflects the result of a negotiation process between
some exporters like Australia and Brazil and some
importers like the EU, Japan and the US, that try to
guarantee that the more important possible sensitive
products have a high consumption allocation share.
In the Tables of Section 4 are listed the Common
Consumption Allocation Share for each 6-digit tariff
line.
3.3 How to combine these
indicators?
The first selection of possible sensitive products is
made taking into account the tariff lines that fulfill
the highest quantity of indicators based on the
Uruguay Round. This first selection could allow for
the capturing of the products that have previously
benefited fromprotectionist measures in the past.
Then, in cases where the first selection arrives at
a large number of possible sensitive products, the
indicators based on the Doha Round are used as an
additional filter.
In these cases an additional filter is to select: the
“core” tariff lines within the product categories that
appear in the domestic consumption data provided by
country Members in the last months.
In cases where this additional filter is not enough,
because the number of possible sensitive products
is considerably higher than the number of possible
sensitive products that would be allowed, the
additional filter consists, instead, of selecting: of the
two tariff lines with the highest Common Consumption
Allocation Share within the product categories that
appear in the domestic consumption data provided by
country Members in the last months.
4. Assembling the clues: Unveiling
the map of sensitive products in
selected developed countries
Using the indicators based on the Uruguay Round
described in Section 3 for Canada, the EU, Japan and
the US, a first list of possible sensitive products that at
least fulfil two indicators could be obtained. In cases
where the first selection arrives at a large number of
possible sensitive products, in comparison with the
allowed number for selecting sensitive products, the
indicators based on the Doha Round could be used as
an additional filter, as was aforementioned in Section
3.
15
The objective of this Section is to achieve an
approximation of the possible list of sensitive
products, keeping in mind that the final list that
country Members might present may or may not be
identified in this paper.
4.1 Possible cases of sensitive
products in Canada
In Canada, for all bound tariff lines, the four indicators
based on the Uruguay Round were applied. Table 5
presents the numbers and percentages of tariff lines
that meet with each indicator.
For Canada, Table 6 shows a list of possible cases of
sensitive products that fulfil at least two indicators
based on the Uruguay Round. In the case of Canada,
the SSG was never applied, so there is no case where
four indicators are fulfilled.
There are 150 products at the 8-digit level that at least
complete two indicators: 41 tariff lines complete three
indicators, and 109 tariff lines meet two indicators.
This quantity of possible sensitive products is slightly
removed from Canada’s six percent of tariff lines (81
tariff lines), but it could help to have an idea about
what products will be sensitive.
Adding a filter using the Doha Round indicators
(described in columns ten, eleven and twelve of Table
6) a more reduced list could be obtained with the
most likely sensitive products.
The additional filter used in this occasion consists of
selecting the “core” tariff lines within the product
categories that appear in the domestic consumption
data provided by country Members in last months.
Taking this into account, the number of most likely
sensitive products is reduced to 77 tariff lines and it is
very near the six percent of the total tariff lines that
would be allowed to be designated as sensitive.
The most likely sensitive products are highlighted and
identified with an “x” in the last column, in Table 6.
These belong to four sectors and 14 product categories.’
The sectors are: dairy products, eggs, hatching eggs
and meats, and; the product categories are: butter,
buttermilk, cheese, condensed evaporated milk, fluid
milk, ice cream, other dairy, powdered whey, whole
milk powder, yogurt, eggs in shell, processed eggs,
hatching eggs and live chicks and poultry meat.
As can be seen, almost the entire dairy sector could
be selected as sensitive and the poultry meat product
16 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
category could be the product category with the
highest quantity of sensitive products in the meat
sector. Consultations in Geneva suggested that the
dairy sector and poultry meat could be the most
probable sources of sensitive products.
Finally, there are some product categories with
some products that have been heavily protected in
the past, but they do not appear as likely sensitive
products because Canada has not yet presented
the domestic consumption of these products. These
product categories are: barley, wheat, beef and veal,
meat offal and margarine.
4.2 Possible cases of sensitive
products in the EU
Applying the four indicators based on the Uruguay
Round in all bound tariff lines for the EU, Table 7
shows the numbers and percentages of tariff lines
that fulfil each indicator. The indicators that have
the highest quantity of tariff lines are products with a
bound SSG tariff.
Table 8 lays out the list of products that satisfy at
least two of these indicators. There are nine tariff
lines that fulfil four indicators based on the Uruguay
Round (and these are basically in the sugar product
category), 52 tariff lines with three indicators and
254 tariff lines meet two indicators. Therefore, 315
tariff lines reach at least two indicators. This number
of products is quite higher than the six percent of
the total tariff lines (132 tariff lines) that would be
allowed to be designated as sensitive. This provides us
with an approximation of a sensitive product list.
In order to reduce the number of likely sensitive
products which result from applying the indicators
based on the Uruguay Round, an additional filter is
applied.
In this particular case, where the number of possible
sensitive products is considerably higher than the
number of possible sensitive products that would
be allowed, the additional filter could consist of
selecting the two tariff lines with the highest Common
Consumption Allocation Share within the product
categories that appear in the domestic consumption
data provided by country Members in the last months.
Moreover, it was eliminated from the list of most
likely sensitive products some product categories that
consultations made in Geneva assert that they would
not contain sensitive products, such as: apricots-
fresh, cherries-fresh, clementines-fresh, courgettes-
fresh and cucumbers-fresh, grapes-juice and orange-
fresh/dried.
Doing this, a list of most likely sensitive products is
obtained which reaches 141 tariff lines (a quantity
not so far removed from the EU’s six percent of tariff
lines.) These products are highlighted and identified
with an “x” in the last column of Table 8.
The most likely sensitive products would belong to
seven sectors and 35 product categories. The sectors
would be: cereals, dairy products, eggs, eggs hatching,
fruits and vegetables, meats and sweeteners, and;
the products categories would be: barley, corn, oat,
rice, sorghum, starch, wheat, butter, cheese, other
dairy, skim milk powder, powdered whey, whole
milk powder, yogurt, processed eggs, hatching eggs
and live chicks, apples-fresh, garlic-fresh, grapes-
fresh, lemons-fresh, mushrooms agaricus-prepared-
or-preserved, olives-prepared-or-preserved, onion-
prepared-or-preserved, peaches-fresh, pears-fresh,
plums-fresh, tomatoes-fresh, beef and veal, meat
offal, pork and wild boar, poultry meat, sheep meat,
fructose, glucose and sugar.
Discussions with officials in Geneva have suggested
that the orange juice and ethanol product categories
may also be considered sensitive.
4.3 Possible cases of sensitive
products in Japan
Table 9 shows the numbers and percentages of tariff
lines that fulfil each indicator based on the Uruguay
Round for all bound import duties in Japan.
Table 10 shows a list of possible sensitive products for
Japan. These are, as in former cases, products that
at least satisfy two indicators based on the Uruguay
Round. These products reach 120 tariff lines and are
not so distant from Japan’s eight percent of tariff
lines (107 tariff lines), which could be permitted in
Japan’s case due to that it has consolidated its tariff
at the 6-digit level.
In the case that this provision would not be finally
agreed upon or Japan could not use this exceptional
treatment, an additional filter could be made.
As in the case of Canada, the additional filter could
consist of selecting the “core” tariff lines within the
product categories with domestic consumption in
the information provided by country Members in last
months.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
After applying the filter, the number of likely sensitive
products is reduced to 77 tariff lines, less than the 81
tariff lines that could be allowed under the assumption
that six percent of tariff lines will be designated as
sensitive.
The product categories that would contain sensitive
products are: barley, rice, starch, triticale, wheat,
butter, buttermilk, condensed/evaporated milk, fluid
milk, other dairy, skim milk powder, whey powdered,
whole milk powder, yogurt, beans broad-dried,
beans kidney-dried, beans other-dried, beans small
read-dried, beans vigna-phassolus-dried, konnyaku,
peas-dried, silk, meat offal, pork and wild boar
and groundnuts. These product categories can be
grouped in six sectors: cereals, dairy products, fruits
and vegetables, fibres, meats and oils, but the dairy
sector could contain the highest quantity of sensitive
products.
According to consultations made in Geneva, sensitive
products could be in the same sectors identified in
this Section for Japan.
Also, it is important to remark that in the cereal
product categories, the additional filter applied could
omit from its selection, as likely sensitive products,
some processed products in Chapters 11, 19 and 21.
Finally, in June, Japan also presented domestic
consumption data in the product categories: apples-
fresh, apples-dried, apples-juice, clementines-fresh,
clementines-prepared or preserved, pineapples-
fresh, pineapples-frozen, pineapples-prepared or
preserved, pineapple-juice, potatoes-fresh, sweet
potatoes, other bears-prepared or preserved,
chickpeas-dried, lentils, beans vigna mundo-dried,
beans vigna-phassolus-prepared or preserved, beef,
poultry, fructose, glucose and sugar. However, in all
cases, except sugar, the protection is low and the four
indicators based on the UR are not fulfilled, so they
have a low chance of being selected as sensitive.
4.4 Possible cases of sensitive
products in the US
Applying the four indicators based on the Uruguay
Round to all bound import duties in the US, Table 11
presents the numbers and percentages of tariff lines
that meet each indicator.
Table 12 lays out products that at least fulfil two
of these indicators. The quantity of products at the
8-digit level reaches 192 tariff lines: 46 meet four
17
indicators, 78 fulfil three indicators, and 68 satisfy
two indicators.
The total number of tariff lines with at least two of
these indicators is somewhat distant from the US’s six
percent of tariff lines (106 tariff lines), but it is a good
approximation of a possible final list.
Applying the same additional filter as in the cases of
Canada and Japan, the number of most likely sensitive
products could be reduced to 84 tariff lines including
the following product categories: butter, buttermilk,
cheese, condensed/evaporated milk, ice cream, other
dairy, skim milk powder, whey powdered, whole milk
powder, yogurt and sugar. All of these belong to two
sectors: dairy products and sweeteners.
The greatest number of sensitive products would be
in the dairy sector, and almost all product categories
in it could contain sensitive products. This result
reaffirms some comments received from Geneva that
assert that it is possible that the US would declare as
sensitive the entire dairy sector.
It must be mentioned that in the sugar product
category, the additional filter applied could omit from
its selection some processed products in Chapters 17,
18, 19 and 21 that could be declared as sensitive.
Other product categories that do not fulfil any
indicators based on the UR but are in the US’s list
of domestic consumption and could be declared as
sensitive are: garlic-dried, lemon-juice, agaricus
mushrooms-prepared or preserved, orange juice,
peaches-frozen, peaches/nectarines-prepared or
preserved, pears-prepared or preserved. Consultations
made in Geneva suggest that the US would declare as
sensitive some fruits and vegetables.
There are some product categories with some products
that have been heavily protected in the past, but do
not appear to be likely sensitive products because
the US has yet to present the domestic consumption
in these products. The product categories are:
groundnuts, other oilseed oils (margarine), fructose,
glucose, maple sugar, cotton and tobacco.
5. How do developing countries’
exports fit into the Sensitive
products map?
This Section addresses some issues that could help to
understand the consequences of the designation of
sensitive products for developing countries’ exports.
18 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
The analysis made in this Section highlights the main
exporters of the likely sensitive products identified in
Section 4 to clarify which countries would be the most
affected by the designation of sensitive products.
The present Section shows those developing countries
whose agricultural exports may be affected with the
designation of sensitive products identified in Section
4 (products which at least fulfil two indicators and
represent at least five percent of the world imports of
the ‘product category’). Two criteria have been used
for this purpose.
One of these criteria is to select for each possible
sensitive products is the main exporter in the
developing world. These countries, given their
importance in world trade, will be among the most
benefited by increases in world imports resulting from
the import tariff cut. As long as tariff reduction in
sensitive products will be lesser than in the other
products, the main developing exporters will be the
most affected by sensitive designation because their
exports will not increase as much as they would
expect. Three main developing country exporters in
2006 have been selected for this criterion, taking into
account the value of their world exports.
The other criterion is to identify, for each possible
sensitve product, those exporting developing
countries that have a high concentration of the
analyzed products in their agricultural exports. These
countries will be the most affected; given that a high
percentage of their exports will be left out of the
general tariff cut. This criterion consists of selecting
the developing counties where the exports of the
possible sensitive product represent at least five
percent of their agricultural exports.f When there
is no country that fulfils this requirement, the three
developing countries with the highest concentration
of their agricultural exports in the possible sensitive
products are identified.
Table 13 presents a list of possible sensitive produts
identified in Section 4 at the 6-digit level. For each
tariff line is identified: a) the developed country
that could designate it as sensitive products, b) the
three main developing country exporters of this
product, and c) the developing countries with the
highest concentration for that product in their total
agricultural exports.
From Table 13 some conclusion can be extracted.
First of all, many possible sensitive products are
exported mainly by developing countries. Due to this,
these developing countries will suffer a reduction
in the potential beneficial outcome that a general
agriculture agreement would generate. For example,
in Brazil, the exports of raw sugar cane (HS 1701.11)
represent 53 percent of the world exports in this
product; in Thailand, the exports of manioc (cassava)
starch (HS 1108.14) are equivalent to 69 percent of
the world trade; in Myanmar, the exports of dried
leguminous vegetables (HS 0713.90) are 55 percent of
the world exports; and, in China, the exports of dried
beans (HS 0713.32), onions (HS 0711.90), raw silk (HS
5002.00) and garlic (0703.20), represent 45 percent,
56 percent, 76 percent and 66 percent, respectively,
of the world exports.
Moreover, there are some products where, despite the
fact that no developing country has a high share of the
world market, many developing countries altogether
represent the majority of world exports. Some cases
are: rice (HS 1006.30) in Thailand, Pakistan and
Vietnam, where their exports represent 55 percent
of the world trade; kidney beans (HS 0713.33) in
Argentina, China and Kyrgyz Republic, where the three
countries comprise 53 percent of the world exports;
groundnuts in shell (HS 1202.10) in China, India and
Egypt where the exports represent 62 percent of world
exports; and, poultry meat (HS 1602.32) in Thailand,
China and Brazil which represent 55 percent of world
exports, among others.
In their agricultural exports, some developing
countries have a high concentration of products that
would be sensitive in selected developed countries.
Among these cases Botswana, Namibia and Uruguay
are remarkable, where their exports in boneless
bovine cuts (0201.30 and HS 0202.30) represent 21
percent, 31 percent and 30 percent, respectively, of
their agricultural exports. Other interesting cases are
Guyana, where its husked rice (HS 1006.20) exports
represent 21 percent of its total agricultural exports;
Oman, with 44 percent of its agricultural exports
concentrated in powdered milk (HS 0402.21); The
Gambia, with more than 30 percent of its exports in
shelled ground-nuts (HS 1202.20), and; Jordan where
the exports of tomatoes (HS 0702.00) are equivalent
to 13 percent of its agricultural exports.
Finally, it is important to remark that some developing
countries identified in Table 12 have current
preferential access for some products in some of the
developed countries considered. In these cases the
sensitive product designation would be positive for
those developing countries, because their preferences
would be less eroded.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
6. analysis of the partial
designation approach contained
in the July draft modalities
The partial designation approach is developed in
the May Draft Modalities, and also in the July Draft
Modalities, in paragraphs three to seven of Annex C
and in Attachment Ai, and it is based on the two-step
methodology for tariff rate quota expansion.
The Draft Modalities reflect, almost in its entirety,
the proposal presented in April by the subset of the
Friends of the Chair Group. In comparison with the
February Draft Modalities, the last two drafts show
an important development in this option, presenting
detailed disciplines for general cases and exceptional
cases.
In general terms this option establishes: 1) product
categories’ definition; 2) alignments for the calculation
of the domestic consumption used for the tariff rate
quota expansion (the balance sheet approach); 3)
some clarification in the two-step methodology used
for the transformation of the consumption data at the
level of the “product category” to the 8-digit level;
4) exceptional treatment for the product category
“other dairy products”; 5) exceptional treatment for
product categories within the fruits and vegetables
sector; 6) minimum tariff quota expansion for at
most two product categories; 7) rules for the general
scheduling of tariff rate quota and exceptional
treatment for at most three product categories —
allowing the sub-allocation of tariff rate quotas, and;
8) some disciplines in order to account for the tariff
rate quota fulfilment.
6.1 Definition of product categories
This option of the Draft Modalities establishes, in
Attachment A, a common list of “product categories”
grouped in twelve sectors. The twelve sectors that
are listed at this moment are: NESOI animal products,
cereals, dairy, eggs, hatching eggs, fruits and
vegetables, fibers, meats, oils, sweeteners, tobacco,
and wine and spirits. This list is still not finished, so it
is possible that new sectors appear in the future. In the
July Draft Modalities NESOI animal products and the
tobacco are introduced as new product categories.
Within each sector there are many “product categories”
formed by many 6-digit tariff lines. Moreover, each
tariff line is split-up into “core” and “non-core” tariff
lines. The “core” tariff lines would have in common
at least 90 percent of the consumption of the product
19
category. For the cereal and sugar product categories,
the “core” lines constitute the basic products and
products with a low level of processing. Nonetheless,
in the other product categories the core products do
not follow a definite trend.
The identification of tariff lines in “core” and “non-
core” is apparently:
Positive for the product categories within the cereal
sector (barley, corn, oat, rice, rye, triticale and wheat)
and for the sugar category, because the core lines are
few and they are mainly those with the lowest level of
processing with the highest chance of being selected
as sensitive. In these cases the identification in “core”
and “non-core” tariff lines reduces the negative effect
produced by the inclusion of products with more
than one ingredient within the product categories.
A possible negative effect of this classification could
appear if only some processed products are declared
as sensitive, so the domestic consumption allocated
on these will be low;
Positive, but not so much as in the cases aforementioned,
for the product categories starch, processed eggs,
dried potatoes, beef meat, pork meat, poultry meat,
reindeer, canola and ground-nuts. This is because the
identification of core lines reduces the dispersion of
the domestic consumption data in the more important
tariff lines but includes a higher number of 6-digit
tariff lines than in the previous case and;
Indifferent for the product categories NESOI animal
products, modified starch, sorghum, skim milk powder,
whole milk powder, butter, buttermilk/sour cream,
powdered whey, caseins, cheese, condensed milk,
fluid milk, yogurt, other dairy, eggs in shell, hatching
eggs and live chicks, all product categories in the fruits
and vegetables sector (except dried potatoes), silk,
offal of meat, sheep meat, product categories in oils
(except canola and ground-nuts), fructose, glucose,
honey, lactose, maple sugar, molasses, tobacco, ethyl
alcohol, rum, wine spirits and wine. This is because
the draft considers as “core” all, or almost all, tariff
lines in the product category.
These possible modalities establish, for each 6-digit
tariff line enumerated in Attachment A, a “Common
Consumption Allocation Share.” These shares are
obtained taking into account the share of the 6-digit
tariff lines in the world trade of the product category
and the rule that at least 90 percent of the domestic
consumption must be delivered into the “core” lines.
Moreover, in this option for tariff rate quota expansion
20 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
the Draft Modalities establishes that the 6-digit “non-
core” tariff lines in Chapter 18 and higher shall be
assigned a Common Consumption Allocation Share
equal to zero.
6.2 Balance sheet approach for the
calculation of domestic consumption
These possible modalities propose to use the domestic
consumption data calculated using the “Balance sheet
approach” (production plus imports minus exports
minus change in stocks) for all “product categories.”
except for “other dairy.”
Nonetheless, since existing published data of
domestic consumption is not harmonised among
Country Members, it does not always have exactly
the same tariff line. This part of the Draft Modalities
proposes some adjustments in order to obtain the
same definition of product category contained in
Attachment A.
With this objective, these modalities amend the
domestic consumption data by adding or subtracting
the “net-trade” (imports minus exports) for any tariff
line(s) that needed to be added or subtracted to
conform with the common tariff line coverage for the
product category.
In addition, this “net-trade” needs to be adjusted
by the “product content” using the “national
product import/export content coefficients.” These
coefficients would allow for the expression of export
and import data in equivalent units as the basic
product. This is only applicable for the tariff lines
where the “net trade” adjustment is necessary and
it is done in order to present this data in the same
units as the domestic consumption of the product
category. In general, the domestic consumption data
are expressed in units of the basic product (e.g. grain
equivalents, carcass weight equivalents, etc.).
It is important to remark that the utilization of
the national consumption data and the “National
Product Import/Export Content Coefficient” made
the evaluation of these possible modalities for the
expansion of the tariff rate quotas more difficult. For
this reason, the relevant data has been difficult to
obtain.
According to the information provided in June by
some country Members (for the sake of transparency)
the US makes the net-trade adjustment in the
butter and sugar product categories, increasing the
domestic consumption used for the tariff rate quota
expansion. On the other hand, the EU makes it for the
product categories cherries-fresh, starch and sugar.
In the first two the net-trade increases the domestic
consumption, and in the last it is reduced.
In the case of Japan, the net-trade adjustment would
be used in a higher number of product categories
due to the different definition used in Japan for
each product category, compared with the definition
proposed in Attachment Ai of the Draft Modalities.
The adjustment increases the domestic consumption
for the product categories corn, skim milk powder,
whole milk powder, ice cream, ground-nuts and beef
product categories, and; reduces it for the product
categories starch, pork and poultry.
6.3 The two-step methodology
The two-step methodology is the general methodology
developed for the allocation of the domestic
consumption data from the product category level to
the 8-digit level. This approach is used for all product
categories, except for “other dairy” where a variation
of this is used.
Step one
Step one takes the domestic consumption of a
“product category” to the 6-digit level. This result
is achieved applying the “Common Consumption
Allocation Shares” set out in Attachment A of the May
Draft Modalities.
With the Common Consumption Allocation Shares it is
guaranteed that at least 90 percent of the domestic
consumption of the product category must be assigned
to the core tariff lines. As aforementioned, the 6-digit
non-core tariff lines in Chapter 18 and higher shall
be assigned a Common Consumption Allocation Share
equal to zero.
But when non-core tariff lines are selected as sensitive,
a maximum of 90 percent of the domestic consumption
of the product category shall be allocated to the core
tariff lines, and ten percent shall be allocated equally
to non-core tariff lines. This condition apparently
is set out for all product categories except for the
dairy product categories and the fruits and vegetables
product categories because it is appear only in the
section “C) Approach for all products, other than
dairy and fruits and vegetables).”
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
Step two
The second step takes domestic consumption at the
6-digit level to the 8-digit level.
This result is reached using the national imports at the
8-digit level and the national technical coefficients
of product content called “Member product content
coefficient”.
The national imports are used in order to calculate
the share of the value of the domestic imports at the
8-digit level within the value of the domestic imports
at the 6-digit level. This share shall be applied to the
6-digit domestic consumption calculated in the first
step.
The “Member product content coefficients” are
apparently used in order to express the value of the
imports at the 8-digit level in the same basic product
in which the consumption data is expressed. The use of
these coefficients must be done before the calculation
of the share mentioned in the above paragraph.
The “Member Product Content Coefficients” used in
this part of the methodology, the “National Product
Import Content Coefficients” used in the net-trade
and the “Product Import Content Coefficients or Tariff
Quota Fill Coefficients” applied for the tariff rate
quota fulfilment, have the same objective: to express
the imports in the same units as those in which the
domestic consumption was calculated. Nevertheless,
in some cases presented by the US and Japan, in the
data provided in June, the three types of coefficients
are different (see the subsection “Tariff Quota Fill
Coefficients” below).
Besides, in the US, in all cases except in the sugar
product category, the “Member Product Content
Coefficients” take on only two numbers: zero percent
or 100 percent, but in the sugar product category,
these coefficients take on a variety of numbers
between zero percent and 100 percent. Therefore, it
is not clear which is the criterion followed by the US.
Methodologically, in principle it is appropriate to use
the “Member Product Content Coefficient” if it allows
taking into account the basic product content in the
national import value, but it is better to apply these
to the volumes of the national imports. In addition,
the use of these coefficients added another factor to
be controlled (and of difficult verification), despite the
fact that the Members will assume the commitment to
inform these in advance of the final Modalities.
21
Moreover, the use of these coefficients will allow
modification of the distribution of the 8-digit domestic
consumption data within the same 6-digit tariff line,
without changing the domestic consumption allocated
in the 6-digit tariff line. That is, these coefficients will
reduce the allocation of the domestic consumption in
the 8-digit tariff lines with the lowest coefficients,
within the set of 8-digit coefficients in the same 6-
digit tariff line, and vice versa.
6.4 Approach for the product
category “other dairy products”:
the construction of the domestic
consumption data and the
methodology used for tariff rate
quota expansion
It is usual that the product category “other dairy
products” does not have statistics for domestic
consumption, and for that reason this option of the
Draft Modalities proposes to use a residual methodology
and an import cross-check in order to obtain this.
This approach consists of converting the total dairy
consumption to a milk solids basis and subtract the
domestic consumption of the product categories
for which domestic consumption data is separately
available (fluid milk, butter, skim milk powder, whole
milk powder, cheese, condensed/evaporated milk,
yogurt, ice cream, casein and caseinates, powdered
whey and powdered buttermilk). In all cases, the
domestic consumption must be converted into milk
solids basis using the Common Milk Solids Coefficients
set out in Attachment E of Attachment Ai. It is
important to remark that the Draft Modalities does
not set out a Common Milk Solids Coefficient for the
“total dairy domestic consumption”. The construction
of this coefficient could present some technical
difficulties because it must take into account the
different product content in total dairy domestic
consumption.
Once the consumption data of the product category
“other dairy” is available, the two-step methodology is
applied. In step two we will use the national technical
coefficient in order to transform the imports’ value
into a milk solids basis.
To take into account the situations where the
residual approach may underestimate the domestic
consumption for an individual tariff line, a “volume
import cross-check” is applied. This consists of
comparing the 8-digit domestic consumption data
obtained with the two-step methodology, with the
22 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
import volumes in a milk solids basis. In all cases, the
highest of these two options for the tariff rate quota
expansion will be used.
Such as in general cases, the floor of the tariff rate
quota expansion is applicable (one to three percent
of the domestic consumption of the product category
“other dairy”) calculated in a milk solids basis.
For doing some calculation of tariff rate quota
expansion in the product category “other dairy,”
it is necessary that the country Members provide
the consumption data and the national milk solids
coefficients for all dairy product categories where the
statistics are available. Also, the total dairy domestic
consumption in milk solids coefficients is necessary.
Based on the data provided by the US, the domestic
consumption for “other dairy” for the period 2003-
2005 is 581.293 MT, so the floor for the tariff rate
quota is between 5.813 MT (one percent of the
domestic consumption) and 17.439 MT (three percent
of the domestic consumption)
In Japan’s data, the domestic consumption in “other
dairy” is 270.862 MT, so the floor for the tariff rate
quota expansion is between 2.708 MT and 8.126 MT.
Finally, according to the information provided by the
EU, the domestic consumption data for the “other
dairy” product category is 2.802.601 MT, so the floor
for the tariff rate quota expansion is between 28.026
MT and 84.078 MT.
6.5 Approach for fruit and
vegetables
The Draft Modalities set out a different approach for
fruits and vegetables which consists of splitting-up
fruit or vegetable products (like apples) into different
product categories (apples–fresh, apples-dried,
apple-juice and apples-prepared or preserved) taking
into account the Member’s industrial use (e.g. the
proportion of the fresh apples used for apple juice,
dried apples or apples prepared).
This approach manages to split-up the domestic
consumption data. In this manner, it reduces the
minimum expansion of tariff rate quotas. This approach
has the same effect as the sub-categorization that
was going to be implemented for some exceptional
cases, in a previous draft proposal of the subset of the
Friends of the Chair Group.
Therefore, in fruit and vegetable product categories
the two-step methodology is not the center of the
problem. Instead, it is the type of disaggregation of
the domestic consumption that would have to be done
through the consumption allocation process.
With the apparent objective to guarantee a minimum
tariff rate quota expansion in the fresh product
categories, when a country Member designates as
sensitive only products in the fresh category, the tariff
rate quota expansion shall be at least equal to the
higher option between the general floor (1-3 percent
of the domestic consumption of the fresh product
category – e.g. fresh apples) and 1.5 percent of the
total domestic consumption of the entire product -
e.g. apples - in fresh equivalent.
It must be analysed if the 1.5 percent of the total
domestic consumption of the entire product in fresh
equivalent is an adequate minimum floor. In order to do
this, it is necessary that the country Members provide
the consumption data for all product categories within
a product (e.g. apple-fresh, apple-dried, apple-juice
and apple-prepared/preserved) in fresh equivalent.
According to the information provided by the EU for
apples, garlic, grapes, lemons, peaches, pears, plums
and tomatoes, if the EU designated as sensitive only
products in the fresh category, the minimum floor of
the 1.5 percent of the total domestic consumption of
the entire product would not be useful because it is
lower, in almost all cases, than three percent of the
domestic consumption of the fresh product category
(which would be the general floor). Therefore, this
additional alternative for the tariff rate quota
expansion floor, which was established only for fresh
product categories, would seem not to be an important
concession made by the importing countries.
In general terms, this exceptional treatment could
be used for the EU in apples-fresh, grapes-fresh,
lemons-fresh, oranges juice, peaches-fresh, pears-
fresh, garlic-fresh, plums-fresh, mushrooms agaricus-
prepared-or-preserved, olives-prepared-or-preserved,
onion-prepared-or-preserved and tomatoes-fresh.
Table 14 shows some possible tariff rate quota
expansion for some fruits and vegetables in different
scenarios of deviation from the general formula for
tariff cuts.
Also, in Japan it could be used for broad beans-dried,
konnyaku, peas-dried, kidney beans-dried, vigna-
phassolus beans-dried, small red beans-dried and
other beans-dried.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
For the US, some consultations made in Geneva, and
the recently presented consumption data recognize
that some fruits and vegetables are potential sensitive
products, like orange and lemon juice, pears-prepared-
or-preserved, peaches-frozen, peaches/nectarines-
prepared-or-preserved, garlic-dried and agaricus
mushrooms-prepared-or-preserved. Therefore, the US
could use this exceptional treatment.
Finally, Canada would not use this exceptional
treatment because it would not designate as sensitive
products either fruits or vegetables.
6.6 Exception for the general tariff
quota expansion: minimum tariff
quota expansion
A maximum of two product categories, which would be
specified in advance of modalities, could be exempted
from the general floor for tariff rate quota expansion
that will be agreed upon (the draft modalities set
out that the floor could be between one and three
percent).
In these cases, the tariff rate quota would be the
larger of the following two options: 1) the expansion
resulting from normal application of the two-step
partial designation methodology, or; 2) the one
percent minimum expansion based on the total
domestic consumption for the product category.
To be eligible for this provision, the product category
concerned must have at least five core lines at the
6-digit level. The product categories that fulfil
this requirement are: starch, cheese, other dairy,
processed eggs, orange juice, beef meat, meat offal,
pork and wild boar meat, poultry meat, sheep meat,
canola, technical fats and wine.
Taking into account the most possible sensitive product
mentioned in Section 4, the product categories that
could use this preferential treatment are those
identified with an “x” in Table 15.
It would seem that in Canada, the EU and the US
the product category cheese is one of the product
categories with the highest chance of using this
minimum tariff rate quota expansion. This is because
cheese production is heavily protected in these
countries and the product category cheese cannot
benefit with the sub-allocation.
The rule of minimum tariff rate quota expansion
described above implies that the tariff rate quota
23
expansion would not be lower than one percent of
the domestic consumption of the product category,
but it would not be higher than three percent of the
domestic consumption of the product category. This is
because three percent of the domestic consumption
is the highest option in the July Draft Modalities as
a general tariff rate quota expansion floor. If the
tariff rate quota expansion resulting from the general
approach reaches three percent of the domestic
consumption or more, the implementation of the
minimum tariff rate quota expansion rule will not be
useful.
Taking this into account, the conclusion is that the
tariff rate quota expansion for cheese in Canada would
approximately be between 3.523 MT (one percent of
the domestic consumption of Canada) and 10.570
MT (three percent of the domestic consumption
of Canada). In the EU it would approximately be
between 79.725 MT and 239.176 MT and in the US
it would approximately be between 41.677 MT and
125.030 MT.
Table 16 shows different scenarios of tariff rate
quota expansion for cheese in the EU applying the
two-step methodology. The tariff lines identified as
likely sensitive products in Section 4 are highlighted.
Adding these, the tariff rate quota expansion for
cheese would be higher than three percent of the
domestic consumption of the cheese product category.
Therefore, if the EU would like to use this preferential
treatment in the cheese product category, the EU
should designate as sensitive a lesser quantity of tariff
lines in this product category.
In the US, taking into account the tariff lines identified
as sensitive in Section 4, the tariff rate quota expansion
(see Table 17) could be 112.231 MT, if the minimum
deviation for the general tariff cut formula is used
(1/3) and its average tariff rate quota expansion is
applied (four percent of the domestic consumption).
In Japan the product category “other dairy” could
be the other product category benefited with this
preferential treatment. According to the information
provided by Japan the minimum tariff rate quota
expansion for “other dairy” will be between 2.709
MT (one percent of the domestic consumption of the
product category) and 8.126 MT (three percent of
the domestic consumption of the product category).
More specifically, if it is considered the likely sensitive
products identified in Section 4, the tariff rate quota
expansion for the other dairy product category would
be between 4.910 MT (four percent of the domestic
24 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
consumption of the most likely SeP) and 6.138 MT
(five percent of the domestic consumption of likely
sensitive products) depending which deviation from
the general formula will be used (see Table 18.)
On the other hand, according to the information
provided by the US in the last months, the product
categories butter, other dairy, orange juices and
sugar could potentially use the minimum tariff quota
expansion. However, the butter and sugar product
categories do not have five core tariff lines, which
are necessary for being eligible for the minimum
tariff rate quota expansion and; the other dairy and
sugar product categories could use the sub-allocation
described below. Therefore, the orange juice product
category could be the other product category that
could use this exceptional treatment.
In this case, the tariff rate quota expansion for orange
juice could be between 71.462 MT (four percent of
the domestic consumption) and 89.328 MT (five
percent of the domestic consumption), if only the
tariff line “orange juice, frozen, unfermented and
not containing added spirit” -HS 2009.11.00- would
be selected as sensitive. This amount is lower than
the three percent of the domestic consumption of the
product category orange juice as can be seen in Table
19.
In addition to this, one of these two product
categories may be exempted from the normal rate
of tariff quota expansion (3 percent to 5 percent in
the case of minimum deviation). To be eligible for
this provision, the Members would need to choose
the lowest deviation from the general tariff cut (that
is, the highest tariff cuts for SeP), and the average
annual exports of the product category (which did not
receive export subsidies in the base period 2003-2005)
would be at least fifteen times the level of average
annual imports for the product category in the period
2003-2005 (in volume terms).
In this case, the tariff rate quota for the product
category would be the larger of the following two
options: 1.75 percent of the domestic consumption
that results from the two-step methodology, or; one
percent of the domestic consumption for the product
category.
In Table 20 are enumerated the product categories
that fulfil the requirement set out in the above
paragraph.
In the EU, only the pork and wild boar product
category fulfils this requirement and it is a product
category with possible sensitive products, according
to the identification made in Section 4. Also, in
Canada there is only one product category that fulfils
this requirement and it is Canola. However, according
to the possible list of sensitive product identified in
Section 4, the tariff lines within the Canola product
category would not be designated as sensitive.
On the other hand, in the US, there are two possible
product categories that are near to fulfilling this
requirement, but both product categories were not
identified as possible candidates of product categories
with sensitive products. In Japan, there is no product
category that could benefit from this flexibility.
As can be seen, this complex exception seems to have
been tailor-made for the EU.
Table 21 shows a possible tariff rate quota expansion for
pork meat in the EU using this exceptional treatment.
Taking into account the possible sensitive products
identified in Section 4 (highlighted in Table 21), the
tariff rate quota expansion would approximately be
240.734 MT. If it is only added as a likely sensitive
product in the pork product category, the tariff rate
quota expansion would be reduced to 188.772 MT.
6.7 General and exceptional rules for scheduling of
tariff quotas: sub-allocation
As a general rule, for any given product category
a single tariff rate quota shall be established for
products designated as sensitive. In other words, the
8-digit tariff rate quota expansion resulting from the
two-step methodology must be added to the tariff
lines declared as sensitive within a product category.
This general rule for the scheduling of tariff rate
quotas has one exception, called sub-allocation.
Sub-allocation is implemented following the two-step
methodology in order to obtain the set of domestic
consumption at the 8-digit level within a product
category. But then, the domestic consumption of the
tariff lines declared as sensitive could be grouped in
two separate tariff rate quotas per product category.
However, sub-allocation cannot be used in order to
reduce the total tariff rate quota expansion for the
product category.
Three product categories could be sub-allocated
with a maximum of two tariff rate quotas. The sub-
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
allocation of tariff rate quotas would be available for
the product categories with ten tariff lines or more at
the 6-digit level. These product categories could be:
beef and veal meat, meat offal, pork and wild boar
meat, poultry meat, sheep meat, wheat, barley, rice,
other dairy and sugar. Table 22 marks with an “x” the
product categories that would be benefited with this
exceptional treatment, according to the identification
of possible sensitive products made in Section 4.
From this list of possible sensitive product categories,
the country Members will have to choose three of
these for doing the sub-allocation. Moreover, it has
to be kept in mind that the sub-allocation would not
be available for products that will have been selected
for the minimum tariff quota expansion described
above.
According to consultations made in Geneva, the EU is
thinking to use this exception for beef meat, poultry
meat and sugar. The beef meat tariff rate quota and
the poultry meat tariff rate quota would be split-up
into fresh and frozen meat. In the case of the sugar
product category, the tariff rate quota would be split-
up into raw sugar and processed sugar products. Tables
23, 24 and 25 show a possible sub-allocation for these
product categories.
In the US, the sub-allocation could be applicable in
“other dairy” and sugar product categories. According
to the information provided for the US, a possible
sub-allocation in the “other dairy” product category
could be: one tariff rate quota for the tariff lines
HS 0401.30.75 and HS 2106.90.66 and another tariff
rate quota for all the other tariff lines at the 8-digit
level. In this case, the first tariff rate quota could be
between 4.594 MT (four percent) and 5.733 MT (five
percent) and the second could be between 7.207 MT
and 9.008 MT (if all other tariff lines in this product
category are included).
In the sugar product category a possible sub-allocation
in the US could be: one tariff rate quota for raw sugar
cane (HS 1701.11) and another tariff rate quota for
all the other tariff lines at the 8-digit level in the
sugar product category. The tariff rate quota for raw
sugar would be between 188.570 MT (four percent)
and 235.712 MT (five percent). For all the other tariff
lines in the sugar product category the tariff rate
quota could be between 151.416 MT (four percent)
and 189.270 MT (five percent).
A variation on this calculation could be applicable to
cases where one or more non-core tariff lines have
25
a zero coefficient. In these cases the total non-core
tariff lines of the product category would have to
be ten percent of the domestic consumption of the
product category, and this portion of the domestic
consumption would have to be delivered in equal
proportion in each non-core tariff line at the 6-digit
level. Therefore, if a Member declares as sensitive at
least one tariff line at the 8-digit level, the domestic
consumption of it would have to be the domestic
consumption at the 6-digit level.
On the other hand, country Members that designate
sensitive products at the 7-digit level and forfeit their
right to use the minimum tariff quota expansion will
be benefit from different disciplines for tariff rate
quota sub-allocation. This exceptional treatment was
built for Norway.
For applying this exceptional treatment, country
Members have to allocate the entire aggregate
domestic consumption for the product category.
Nevertheless, this rule does not necessarily imply that
all the tariff lines included in the product category
must be declared as sensitive.
In these cases, the country Members shall be permitted
to schedule three tariff rate quotas for two product
categories and two tariff rate quotas for one product
category.
The two product categories that can schedule three
tariff rate quotas will have to guarantee that the
tariff rate quota with the largest share of world trade
in the period 2000-2005 has at least 60 percent of the
aggregate consumption of the product category, and
the other two tariff rate quotas have 20 percent each.
Hereinafter this will be referred to as the 60-20-20
approach.
The product category that could be sub-allocated
with a maximum of two tariff rate quotas will have to
guarantee that the tariff rate quota with the largest
share of world trade has at least 70 percent of the
aggregate consumption of the product category,
and the other tariff rate quota has the remaining
consumption of the product category (hereafter
referred to as the 70-30 approach).
According to the information provided by Norway,
the 60-20-20 approach could be used in the beef and
veal and pork product categories. Instead, the 70-
30 approach could be applied in the poultry product
category. Tables 26, 27 and 28 show the application of
these approaches in comparison with the general sub-
26 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
allocation resulting from the two-step methodology
for the three product categories beef and veal, pork
meat and poultry meat, respectively.
A logical conclusion would be that the use of this
exceptional treatment allows Norway to reduce the
tariff rate quota expansion for the more important
tariff rate quota in the product category. That is, in
the beef and veal product category, the tariff rate
quota with 60 percent of the domestic consumption
of the product category would be between 2.193 MT
(four percent) and 2.741 MT (five percent), instead of
3.278 MT (four percent) and 4.098 MT (five percent)
resulting from the normal sub-allocation with the
two-step methodology.
The same occurs in the pork meat and the poultry meat
product categories. In pork meat, the tariff rate quota
expansion for the tariff rate quota with 60 percent of
the domestic consumption would be between 2.742
MT and 3.428 MT, instead of between 3.606 MT and
4.508 MT. In poultry meat the biggest tariff rate quota
would be between 1.517 MT and 1.897 MT, instead of
between 1.827 MT and 2.284 MT
6.8 Tariff Quota Fill Coefficients:
some issues regarding the tariff rate
quota fulfillment
Since the tariff rate quota will be set out in the units
in which the consumption data is expressed (e.g.
Grain equivalents, carcass weight equivalents, etc),
the import of the sensitive product must be expressed
in the same units as the tariff rate quota, using the
“product import content coefficient”, in order to
account the fulfilment of the tariff rate quota.
As aforementioned, this type of coefficient is used in
different parts of the methodology under different
names. In the net-trade adjustment, it is called
“National Product Import Content Coefficient;” in the
second step of the two-step methodology it is referred
to as “Member Product Content Coefficient;” and in
the tariff rate quota fulfilment it is called “Product
Import Content Coefficient.” In general terms, for the
same country and the same product the number of
these coefficients coincide, which apparently confirms
that these coefficients could be used for expressing
the imports of the sensitive product in the same units
as the domestic consumption. But in some cases the
three coefficients are very different as can be seen in
Table 29.
In butter and sugar in the US the “National Product
Import Content Coefficients” used in the net-trade
adjustment are lower than the “Member Product
Content Coefficients” used in step two in some tariff
lines. At the same time, in Japan, in almost all tariff
lines in the barley and rice product categories, the
“Member Product Content Coefficients” used in step
two are different from the “Product Import Content
Coefficients” used in the tariff rate quota fulfilment.
In almost all cases the coefficients used to account for
the tariff rate quota fulfilment are higher than those
used in step two. The same occurs in the EU in many
product categories.
Finally, in many tariff lines in Japan, in the barley and
rice product categories and in the EU in many product
categories the “Product Import Content Coefficient
or Tariff Quota Fill Coefficient” is above 100 percent,
which implies that the imports of these tariff lines
must be weighted more significantly than the other
tariff lines with a Tariff Quota Fill Coefficient below
100 percent.
7. Conclusions
The July Draft Modalities, as in the preceding
documents, establish that sensitive products will be
subject to lesser tariff cuts than those required by
the general formula, and these smaller cuts must be
compensated for by a corresponding tariff rate quota
expansion for the product in question. It also establishes
that sensitive product will be self-designated by either
developed or developing countries.
The May and July Draft Modalities helped clarify the
tariff reduction for sensitive products in each band
and each deviation allowed from the general formula.
Nonetheless, some issues require further clarification.
Initially, only the tariff cuts in the highest band could
be specified. However, the tariff rate quota expansion
for each possible deviation continues to be expressed as
a range of percentages of domestic consumption. This
adds an additional factor of uncertainty in assessing
the affects of sensitive product designation.
The July Draft Modalities do not address sufficiently
the level of in-quota tariff reduction. The July Draft
Modalities defines this further but tariff cuts continue
being expressed as a range of percentages and the
zero in-quota-tariff is only considered for tariff rates
already bound at or below five percent. The tariff rate
quota considered would be scheduled and applied on
a most-favoured-nation basis.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development
It must be considered that there is no eligibility
criteria set in the July Draft Modalities text for the
sensitive product designation. This open language
leaves a lot of room for the subjective perspective of
what is “sensitive” in each country Member.
It is very important to take into account that there
is neither a single indicator that by its own discerns
the sensitiveness of a product, nor a single indicator
valid for all countries. Therefore a mix of indicators
is essential. Besides, it is also important to mention
that all possible indicators are imperfect, and so the
result of applying them will reach an approximation of
a final sensitive products list.
This paper follows indicators based upon the
instruments utilised by countries in the Uruguay Round
to protect their products from imports, or by any
other relevant feat of the importing country in the
negotiation process that might prove that it is thinking
of considering a particular product as sensitive.
Using four indicators based on the UR and three
indicators based on the DR, lists of 77 tariff lines
in Canada, 141 tariff lines in the EU, 77 tariff lines
in Japan and 84 tariff lines in the US are obtained
representing the most likely sensitive products.
In the case of Canada, the number of most likely
sensitive products obtained (77 tariff lines) is very near
the six percent of the total tariff lines (81 tariff lines)
that would be allowed to be designated as sensitive.
The sensitive products could be concentrated in
only four sectors (dairy products, eggs, hatching
eggs and meats) and 14 product categories (butter,
buttermilk, cheese, condensed evaporated milk,
fluid milk, ice cream, other dairy, powdered whey,
whole milk powder, yogurt, eggs in shell, processed
eggs, hatching eggs and live chicks and poultry meat).
Almost the entire dairy sector could be selected as
sensitive and the poultry meat product category could
be the product category with the highest quantity of
sensitive products in the meat sector. Consultations
made in Geneva concur with the some of the results
reached in this paper
In the EU, the 141 tariff lines identified as most likely
sensitive products are not so far removed from the
EU’s six percent of tariff lines (132 tariff lines), and
they could be more dispersed throughout different
sectors and product categories in comparison with
Canada. Sensitive products could belong to seven
sectors and 35 product categories, where the dairy,
fruits and vegetables and meat sectors could contain
27
the highest quantity of sensitive products. Other
sectors would be: cereals, eggs, eggs hatching and
sweeteners and; the product categories within those
sectors would be: barley, corn, oat, rice, sorghum,
starch, wheat, butter, cheese, other dairy, skim milk
powder, powdered whey, whole milk powder, yogurt,
processed eggs, hatching eggs and live chicks, apples-
fresh, garlic-fresh, grapes-fresh, lemons-fresh,
mushrooms agaricus-prepared-or-preserved, olives-
prepared-or-preserved, onion-prepared-or-preserved,
peaches-fresh, pears-fresh, plums-fresh, tomatoes-
fresh, beef and veal, meat offal, pork and wild boar,
poultry meat, sheep meat, fructose, glucose and
sugar. Some Geneva based officials have suggested
that the orange juice and ethanol product categories
could also contain sensitive products.
In Japan, as was mentioned earlier, the number of likely
sensitive products could be in 77 tariff lines, near the
81 tariff lines that could be allowed if six percent of
the total tariff lines are agreed upon as the limit for
the designation of sensitive products. They are mainly
focused in six sectors: cereals, dairy products, fruits
and vegetable, fibres, meats and oils –but the dairy
sector could contain the highest quantity of sensitive
products. The product categories that would contain
sensitive products are: barley, rice, starch, triticale,
wheat, butter, buttermilk, condensed/evaporated
milk, fluid milk, other dairy, skim milk powder,
whey powdered, whole milk powder, yogurt, beans
broad-dried, beans kidney-dried, beans other-dried,
beans small read-dried, beans vigna-phassolus-dried,
konnyaku, peas-dried, silk, meat offal, pork and wild
boar and groundnuts.
In the US, the number of most likely sensitive
products (84 tariff lines) is lower than the US’s six
percent tariff lines limit(106 tariff lines), and they
are concentrated in the dairy, sweeteners and fruits
and vegetables sectors. The first two sectors include
the following product categories: butter, buttermilk,
cheese, condensed/evaporated milk, ice cream, other
dairy, skim milk powder, whey powdered, whole milk
powder, yogurt and sugar. Consultations with those
following the negotiations closely have suggested that
fruits and vegetables will be declared sensitive by the
US.
From the likely sensitive products mentioned above.
One consists of considering that many possible
sensitive products are exported mainly by developing
countries. Due to this, these developing countries
will suffer a reduction in the potential benefits that
a general agriculture agreement would generate,
28 Ariel Ibañez, María Marta Rebizo and Agustín Tejeda - Implications for Sensitive Products of the May 2008
Draft Agricultural Modalities
especially for those countries which do not currently
enjoy preferential market access in the developed
world. For example, in Brazil, the exports of raw sugar
cane (HS 1701.11) represent 53 percent of the world
exports in this product; in Thailand, the exports of
manioc (cassava) starch (HS 1108.14) are equivalent
to 69 percent of the world trade; in Myanmar, the
exports of dried leguminous vegetables (HS 0713.90)
are 55 percent of the world exports; and, in China,
the exports of dried beans (HS 0713.32), onions (HS
0711.90), raw silk (HS 5002.00) and garlic (0703.20),
represent 45 percent, 56 percent, 76 percent and 66
percent, respectively, of the world exports.
Another important aspect is that some developing
countries have a high concentration in their agricultural
exports of products that would be sensitive in the
selected developed countries. Among these cases
Botswana, Namibia and Uruguay are remarkable,
where their exports in boneless bovine cuts (0201.30
and HS 0202.30) represent 21 percent, 31 percent and
30 percent, respectively, of their agricultural exports.
Other interesting cases are: Guyana, where its husked
rice (HS 1006.20) exports represent 21 percent of its
total agricultural exports; Oman, with 44 percent of
its agricultural exports concentrated in powdered milk
(HS 0402.21); The Gambia, with more than 30 percent
of its exports in shelled ground-nuts (HS 1202.20); and
Jordan, where the exports of tomatoes (HS 0702.00)
are equivalent to 13 percent of its agricultural
exports.
The partial designation approach, which was
developed by the Friends of the Chair Group, follows
a very complex methodology which allows allocation
of domestic consumption at the 8-digit level. In
many cases this reduces the benefit of tariff rate
quota expansion for those Members that are strong
agricultural exporters, in comparison with the
“product approach.” It includes many exceptions that
reduce tariff rate quota expansion given the particular
circumstances of the countries that authored this
approach. Of the two approaches considered during
negotiations, partial designation, as method of tariff
rate quota expansion, is far more developed.
Moreover, it is important to note that this methodology
includes a lot of variables that are difficult to verify,
like the “National Product Import Content Coefficient”
used in the “net-trade” adjustment, the “Member
Product Content Coefficient” used in the second step
of the two-step methodology and the “Product Import
Content Coefficient” applied in accounting for the
tariff rate quota fulfillment.
For some product categories within the cereal sector
and the sugar product category the identification
of core tariff lines, with at least 90 percent of the
domestic consumption, is adequate because the core
tariff lines are few and they are mainly those with
the lowest level of processing with the highest chance
of being selected as sensitive. In the other product
categories this identification is not as important.
An methodological exception has been made for
calculating the tariff rate quota expansion for dairy,
fruits, and vegetables.
The exception for fruits and vegetables manages to
split-up the domestic consumption data from the
beginning of the domestic consumption allocation
process. Hence, it reduces the base of the expansion
of tariff rate quotas. This approach has the same
effect as the sub-categorization that was going to be
implemented for some exceptional cases, in a previous
draft proposal of the Friends of the Chair Group.
In the fruits and vegetables product categories
the two-step methodologyis not the center of the
problem. Instead, it is the type of disaggregation of
the domestic consumption that would be made since
the beginning of the consumption allocation process.
This exceptional treatment would be used by the EU,
Japan and the US for some fruits and vegetables.
According to the information provided by the EU in fresh
product categories, if the EU designated as sensitive
only products in the fresh category, the minimum floor
of 1.5 percent of the total domestic consumption of
the entire product would not be useful because it is
lower, in almost all cases, than three percent of the
domestic consumption of the fresh product category
(which would be the general floor). Therefore, this
additional alternative for the tariff rate quota
expansion floor, which was established only for fresh
product categories, seems to not be an important
concession made by the importing countries.
Another exception for the general tariff rate quota
expansion consists is that two product categories
could be exempted from the general floor for tariff
rate quota expansion that will be agreed upon. In
Canada, this could be used for cheese and processed
eggs product categories; in the EU, for cheese and
pork and wild boar meat product categories; in Japan
for the other dairy and pork and wild boar product
categories, and; in the US for the cheese and orange
juice product categories.
 ICTSD Programme on Agricultural Trade and Sustainable Development 29

As a general rule, for any given product category, a

single tariff rate quota shall be established for products
designated as sensitive. However, this general rule for
the scheduling of tariff rate quotas has one exception,
called sub-allocation.

Three product categories can be sub-allocated within

a maximum of two tariff rate quotas. This could be
applied in Canada in the other dairy and poultry meat
product categories, in the EU in the beef meat, poultry
meat and sugar product categories, in Japan in the
barley, rice and sugar product categories and in the
US in the other dairy and sugar product categories.

On the other hand, Members that designate sensitive

products at the 7-digit level and forfeit their right to
use the minimum tariff quota expansion will benefit
from different disciplines for tariff rate quota sub-
allocation (the 60-20-20 approach and the 70-30
approach). This exceptional treatment was built for
Norway.

According to the information provided by Norway,

the 60-20-20 approach could be used in the beef and
veal and pork product categories. Instead, the 70-
30 approach could be applied in the poultry product
category. A logical conclusion would be that the use
of this exceptional treatment would allow Norway to
reduce the tariff rate quota expansion for the bigger
tariff rate quotas in the product category.

Finally, despite the fact that this paper seeks to

contribute to the clarification of some important
issues regarding the designation of sensitive products
and the associate tariff rate quota expansion for
those products, Members should provide the an
official sensitive products list. This would allow
others to determine which products will be used for
expceptional treatment to assess the value of a Doha
deal.

a Footnote 8, the February Modality Text stated: This shall not be inclusive of the tariff cuts resulting from the modalities applicable
to tropical products and tariff escalation cuts, respectively, except where the effect of these reductions is to increase the overall
average tariff cut for the Member concerned by more than an additional 2.5 ad valorem percentage points.

e Except for the EU, where is used the 15% of the import share in the ‘product category’.

f Considering the agricultural product definition of Annex 1 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture.

g The analysis was made base on trade statistics at the 6-digit level because there is no statistical harmony at the 8-digit level
between countries. This is a limitation for the analysis of the consequences of the designation of SeP in developing countries
because the designation will be, in almost all cases, at the 8-digit level, and the analysis at the 6-digit level could include the value
of trade of other products not designated as sensitive. Nevertheless, for the aim of this paper, this methodology allows for a valid
approach to identify the developing countries that will be prejudiced by the establishment of the SeP.
