WTO disputes with New Zealand a third party complainant

China - Grants, Loans and Other Incentives WT/DS 387

In December 2008 the United States and Mexico requested consultations regarding certain grants, loans and other incentives offered by China which the US and Mexico allege are inconsistent with the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, the GATT and, to the extent that they relate to agricultural products, the Agreement on Agriculture.

In February 2009, New Zealand requested to join the consultations as a third party. New Zealand has a strong systemic interest in seeing the disciplines of the WTO Agriculture and Subsidies Agreements upheld, and New Zealand is a vocal proponent of the elimination of all export subsidies, particularly in the agricultural sector.
