The Canadian Perspective

T. K. Warley

Chapter 6 in Agriculture in the Uruguay Round, 1994, pp 110-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Canada is an example of a medium-sized economic power whose comparative advantage in agriculture has long been frustrated by the subsidy and protection policies of other nations. More recently, Canada’s economy and taxpayers and the crops sector of its agriculture have been the victims of the competitive subsidization of grain and oilseed exports by the agricultural super-powers, the United States (US) and the European Community (EC). Canada therefore has an immense stake in the attempt being made in the Uruguay Round (UR) to bring about substantial and progressive reduction in agricultural support and protection on a global basis and to subject trade in farm and food products to strengthened and more effectively applied GATT rules and disciplines.
