L’Accord sur l’agriculture du cycle d’Uruguay (AACU) représente un tournant dans la réforme du système commercial agricole. Il impose des disciplines aux politiques internes qui créent des distorsions commerciales et établit de nouvelles règles dans les domaines de l’accès au marché et de la concurrence à l’exportation. Dans quelle mesure les trois disciplines contenues dans l’AACU ont-elles permis de réduire le niveau de la protection et du soutien lié à la production? Quels éléments des disciplines se sont avérés efficaces et quels sont ceux qui sont apparus inefficaces ? Quelles leçons peut-on en tirer pour les politiques ? Enfin, quelles en sont les implications pour la poursuite de la libéralisation des échanges en termes d’opportunités et de défis ? Cet ouvrage apporte un certain nombre de réponses à ces questions pour tous les pays de l’OCDE.
Cette étude parvient à une conclusion importante : les effets quantitatifs immédiats de l’AACU sur les niveaux d’échanges et de protection ont été modestes. Ce phénomène s’explique notamment par les nombreuses faiblesses de l’AACU, en particulier dans des domaines bien spécifiques tels que la mise en oeuvre et la méthodologie.
Les pays ont déjà démarré un nouveau cycle de négociations commerciales multilatérales sur l’agriculture. Pour les décideurs publics, le défi sera maintenant de s’appuyer sur les fondations de l’AACU pour continuer à réduire les distorsions commerciales. Il est pour cela nécessaire de renforcer les disciplines déjà établies dans le cadre de l’AACU et de s’attaquer aux faiblesses de l’accord actuel identifiées dans cette étude.

The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA) was a turning point in the reform of the agricultural trade system. It imposed disciplines on trade-distorting domestic policies and established new rules in the areas of market access and export competition. How effective have the three disciplines contained in the URAA been in bringing about a reduction in the level of production-related support and protection? Which elements of the disciplines have proved effective and which ineffective? What policy lessons can be drawn from the experience so far? What might be inferred about opportunities and challenges for further trade liberalisation? This report provides some answers to these questions for all OECD countries.

A key conclusion of the report is that the immediate quantitative effects of the URAA on trade and protection levels have been modest. The reasons for this include the weakness of many specific features of the URAA including implementation and methodological issues.

Countries have already embarked on a new round of multilateral trade negotiations on agriculture. The challenge facing policy makers is to build upon the foundation of the URAA to further reduce trade distortions. This requires strengthening the disciplines already established under the URAA and addressing those weaknesses of the current agreement which have been identified in this study.

This report provides information on the average tariff levels and on the use of tariff-rate quotas, export subsidies and export credits by selected OECD countries for temperate-zone agricultural products. The implications of further liberalisation of the various instruments over the medium term are examined. The effects of further trade liberalisation of agricultural markets over the medium-term depend significantly on the modalities and prevailing market conditions against which the liberalisation scenarios are compared. On market access, although the largest impact on world prices is from tariff reductions, each of the current trade policy instruments (i.e. out-of-quota tariffs, in-quota tariffs, and tariff rate quotas) would have to be liberalised to obtain the greatest impact.

On export subsidies, their current use is already at levels much lower than Uruguay Round commitments, and elimination would have modest effects for most commodities (except dairy products). This situation could change and further discipline on their use would prevent back-tracking. Export credits used by certain countries are also found to distort trade, although the effects on world markets and average prices remain relatively small, due to the small share of trade facilitated by these programmes and their small per-unit effect. Disciplines are necessary, however, to avoid even greater use of all forms of export competition policies. Countries have embarked on a new round of multilateral trade negotiations on agriculture. The challenge facing policy makers is to build upon the foundations of the URAA to further reduce trade distortions. This requires strengthening the disciplines already established and addressing weaknesses of the current agreement, such as those that have been identified in this report.

Ce rapport fournit des informations sur les niveaux moyens des tarifs douaniers et sur l'utilisation des contingents tarifaires, des subventions à l’exportation et des crédits à l’exportation par certains pays de l’OCDE pour des produits agricoles de la zone tempérée. Il examine également les conséquences d'une plus grande libéralisation de ces différents instruments à moyen terme.
Les effets à moyen terme d’une plus grande libéralisation des échanges sur les marchés agricoles dépendent de manière significative des modalités de sa mise en oeuvre et des conditions qui prévaudront sur les marchés (conditions auxquelles les différents scénarios de libéralisation seront comparés). En ce qui concerne l’accès aux marchés, bien que ce soit la diminution des tarifs douaniers qui ait le plus d’impact sur les prix mondiaux, chacun des instruments actuels (droits de douane appliqués au contingent, hors contingent et contingents tarifaires) doit être libéralisé pour maximiser cet impact. Les niveaux des crédits à l’exportation sont déjà au-dessous de ceux fixés lors des Accords de l’Uruguay et leur disparition n'aurait des effets que peu importants pour la majorité des produits, exception faite des produits laitiers. Cette situation peut changer et davantage de contrôles pourraient éviter des réajustements tardifs. Les crédits à l’exportation utilisés par certains pays peuvent également créer des distorsions sur les échanges, bien que les effets sur les marchés mondiaux et les prix moyens restent relativement faibles (car seule une petite part des échanges est encouragée par ces programmes et leur effet "unitaire" est faible). Des contrôles sont toutefois nécessaires pour éviter une généralisation de toutes les formes de politiques de concurrence aux exportations.
Les pays se sont engagés dans un nouveau cycle de négociations commerciales multilatérales sur l’agriculture. Le défi auquel les décideurs politiques doivent faire face est de continuer à bâtir sur les fondations de l’Accord d’Uruguay sur l’Agriculture afin de réduire davantage les distorsions liées aux échanges. Il faut donc renforcer les contrôles déjà mis en place et aborder les faiblesses de l’accord existant, notamment celles qui sont identifiées dans ce rapport.

Uruguay still struggles to recover from economic recessions of 1999-2001 and the 2002 crisis which precipitated a drop in GDP per capita of 11 per cent. The recession left one-third of the population living below the poverty line. Yet, there have been substantial improvements in the economic situation since then. And, demographic demands are relatively light – 5 to 14-year-olds represent only 16 per cent of the total population, third-lowest in the WEI, and 15 to 19-year-olds represent 8 per cent, second-lowest in the WEI group.

1995: Law 16,713; reforms the old-age pension system, creates a mixed system of old-age protection consisting of a publicly managed social insurance scheme and a mandatory private pension scheme, and regulates the establishment and operation of pension fund administrators.

Article 8 of the Constitution of Uruguay upholds the equality of all citizens, but does not specifically refer to gender equality. Uruguay has ratified CEDAW and, in 2007, passed a law on equal rights and opportunities for men and women. The country’s law against racism, xenophobia and discrimination provides a precise definition of discrimination that is in line with international conventions. By legal doctrine, all human rights recognised within international treaties that Uruguay has ratified become constitutional rights within the country. Violence against women, particularly domestic violence, remains a significant issue.

The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 100 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing.

The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.  These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention.

The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. “Fishing expeditions” are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.

All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework.  Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

All review reports are published once approved by the Global Forum and they thus represent agreed Global Forum reports.

Ce jeu de données est issu de la base de données présentée dans les Perspectives Agricoles de l'OCDE et de la FAO 2013-2022. La table contient des projections du marché agricole et des principales denrées agricoles comme les céréales, les oléagineux, les produits laitiers, le coton, et d'autres. Sont incluses des données sur le commerce agricole en général, notamment sur la production, les prix, la balance commerciale, les stocks en fin de période, la consommation, la transformation, etc. Pour la plupart des marchés et denrées agricoles analysés dans les Perspectives Agricoles, les prix intérieurs et mondiaux sont aussi disponibles. La majeure partie des données remontent jusqu'en 1970 et couvrent jusqu'à la dernière année de projection (actuellement 2022).

This dataset stems from the database presented in the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2013-2022. The table contains projections on the agriculture market and commodities such as cereals, oilseeds, diary products, cotton and more. It includes statistics on the trade side including data on production, prices, trade balance, ending stocks, consumption, transformation, etc. For most of the commodity markets analysed in the Agricultural Outlook, domestic and international commodity prices are also available. In most cases the data go back to 1970 and cover up to the latest year of projection (currently 2022).
