3 Under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement), developing countries receive special and differential treatment with respect to certain subsidy disciplines under Article 27. For developing countries listed in Annex VII of the SCM Agreement (including India) the SCM prohibition on export subsidies does not apply until (1) per capita GNP reaches a designated threshold or (2) eight years after the country achieves "export competitiveness" for a particular product. Article 27.6 of the SCM Agreement defines export competitiveness as the point when an exported product reaches a share of 3.25 percent of world trade for two consecutive calendar years. Export competitiveness is determined to exist either via notification by the developing country or on the basis of a computation undertaken by the WTO Subsidies Committee Secretariat at the request of any Member.
