This course examines the provisions of the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, their implementation and evolution. The course is divided into three main parts: 1) the Subsidies Disciplines (which include the definition of a subsidy, the types of subsidies, their adverse effects to trade, as well as the rules on special and differential treatment to developing countries), 2) the provisions on the application of Countervailing Measures, and 3) the current DDA negotiations and climate change as far as the SCM agreement is concerned. Legal and practical questions will be raised during the course, where appropriate with examples of dispute settlement cases.
