WTO Subsidy Notifications: Assessing German subsidies under the GSI notification template proposed for the WTO
This report uses Germany as the test case in applying a template developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development's Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) for notifying subsidies to the World Trade Organization. The study reveals the template vastly improves subsidy reporting.The study's conservative approach identifies 180 specific subsidy programs that should have been notified (totalling € 10.8 billion) for 2006, rather than 11 subsidies notified by Germany (with a total value of € 1.25 billion).
