Chapter 8 in Agriculture in the GATT, 1996, pp 175-216 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As befits a negotiation that lasted over seven years, the outcome of the Uruguay Round (UR) is contained in a document of nearly 500 pages.1 The Agreement on Agriculture is only a small part of this text, with just 26 pages, and the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures has a further 15 pages. However, an important part of the UR Agreement on Agriculture comes in the form of the quantitative commitments contained in the country Schedules which form part of the overall agreement reached in the UR. Taken together for all 117 countries which signed the UR agreement, the agricultural parts of these Schedules amount to around 20 000 pages.
