Australian Subsidy On Ammonium Sulphate

Australian subsidy on ammonium sulphate in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, australian subsidy on ammonium sulphate is: a non-violation case brought by Chile against Australia in 1950. The entries on trade policy are here. It resulted from the discontinuation by Australia of its war-time subsidy for the sale of imported nitrate of soda of which Chile was a major supplier. The entries on trade policy are here. A similar subsidy for ammonium sulphate was continued. The subsidy in both cases had been intended to balance war-time shortages of nitrogenous fertilizers, but it was continued for several years after the war because of a continuing shortage. The mechanism for creating eligiblity for the subsidy was inclusion in the pool of nitrogenous fertilizers. The working party established to look at this case found that the value of a concession granted to Chile at the time of the 1947 tariff negotiations had been impaired as the result of a measure which did not otherwise conflict with the provisions of the GATT. This happened because ammonium sulphate and nitrate of soda had for a long time been treated in the same way. Chile therefore had reasonable expectations that the war-time subsidy would be applied to both fertilizers as long as there was a local shortage of nitrogenous fertilizer.[1]
