Description
Summary:This article analyzes the adoption of retaliatory measures, based on countervailing measures, on the practice of subsidies in international agricultural trade, by means of a survey on the evolution of trade differences submitted to the World Trade Organization (WTO). It was possible to identify the United States and the European Union as the members who most suffer from retaliation in the WTO, because of the impacts of their policies on subsidies on the agricultural sector. However, there was a drop in trade disputes submitted to WTO, especially with regard to countervailing measures related to the agricultural sector. Key words: agricultural subsidies, countervailing measures, WTO. O artigo aborda a adocao de medidas de retaliacao, atraves de direitos compensatorios, a pratica de subsidios no comercio agricola internacional, por meio da analise da evolucao das diferencas comerciais submetidas a Organizacao Mundial de Comercio (OMC). Os resultados revelam que os Estados Unidos da America e a Uniao Europeia sao os membros que mais sofrem medidas de retaliacao na OMC, em razao dos impactos de suas politicas de subsidios ao setor agricola. Alem disso, houve uma queda nos contenciosos comerciais submetidos a apreciacao da OMC, especialmente em materia de direitos compensatorios em relacao ao setor agricola. Palavras-chave: subsidios agricolas, direitos compensatorios, OMC.
