FTAA - NEGOTIATING GROUP ON AGRICULTURE

Second Meeting

Miami, January 22-24, 1999

PRESS COMMUNIQUÉ

During the deliberations of the second meeting of the FTAA Negotiating Group on Agriculture, the report of the President of the Negotiating Group on Market Access was presented in order to consider it as an input for the deliberations on topics common to both groups, as well as specific aspects of agricultural sector issues related to tariffs, non-tariff measures, safeguards, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical assistance, and the relation with the Consultative Group on Smaller Economies. The central topics of the deliberations of the Negotiating Group on Agriculture were, in this case, export subsidies and modalities for eliminating them, as well as Other Measures and Practices that distort agricultural trade in the Hemisphere, including those that have the equivalent effect of agricultural export subsidies.

The next meeting of the FTAA Negotiating Group on Agriculture will be in Miami between 25th-27th March, 1999.

Attached to the communiqué is the list of delegations.
