I. OVERVIEW AND ASSESSMENT

1. This is the Third Periodic Report to Ministers on steps taken to implement the Doha mandate on cotton, with focus on the development assistance aspects. This report is in accordance with the mandate in the 2005 Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration.1 Pursuant to this mandate, in the intervening period since my Second Periodic Report in 2005, the Secretariat has kept Members regularly informed, through Progress Reports, in the Sub-Committee on Cotton (SCC). There have been eight Progress Reports.2 I have directly kept Members periodically updated with relevant developments in the General Council3. In addition to these, I convened a High Level Session (HLS) on Cotton in 2007.4 This HLS was in response to a request from the Cotton4 (C4) and the African Union (AU). As Director-General, my efforts to implement the Doha cotton mandate, with the support of Members, have been undertaken within successive rounds of the "Director-General's Consultative Framework Mechanism on Cotton" (DGCFMC).

2. My assessment is that over the past four years, the results from the implementation of the Doha mandate on cotton have been mixed. Progress on the development assistance aspects has been tempered and not fully maximized as a result of the unresolved issues in the agriculture negotiations, including on the trade policy aspects of cotton. Overall assessment of progress on the cotton dossier will depend on the sum of progress on the trade policy and development assistance aspects of the Doha cotton mandate.

3. On the development assistance aspects, considerable progress has been made since my report in 2005. The value of development assistance specific to cotton and subject to a process of regular verification with providers and recipients total US$564,270,986, while assistance provided within the broader framework for agriculture and infrastructure stands at US$2,897,155,518. Furthermore, actual operational delivery demonstrates ample evidence of a deeper consolidation of progress and positive dynamic transformations in the implementation of the mandate. Progress was achieved in large measure due to the contributions of the traditional bilateral development community and the multilateral and regional agencies. This has been sharply boosted by the emergence and energetic interventions of developing country providers, particularly from 2007 onwards, on the platform of South-South Cooperation for Cotton Sector Development. This progress was enhanced by the domestic reform efforts by the recipients of cotton development assistance. All this remains work in progress.

4. On the trade policy aspects, progress in the agriculture negotiations remains difficult. The revised draft modalities for agriculture of 6 December 2008 (TN/AG/W/4/Rev.4), and associated documents (TN/AG/W/5, 6 and 7) have formed the basis for the continuation of the agriculture negotiations, including on cotton. Despite the good progress that was made during 2008, a handful of issues remain outstanding. These outstanding issues include cotton. On the basis of the language on cotton (in TN/AG/W/4/Rev.4), the Chairman is continuing consultations with Members. These consultations signify continuing engagement, although there has been no specific further progress beyond December 2008.

(WT/MIN(05)/DEC: paragraph 12). 2 First (WT/CFMC/7 - TN/AG/SCC/W/5); Second (WT/CFMC/9 - TN/AG/SCC/W/6); Third (WT/CFMC/11 - TN/AG/SCC/R/12); Fourth (WT/CFMC/13 - TN/AG/SCC/W/8); Fifth (WT/CFMC/15 - TN/AG/SCC/W/9); Sixth (WT/CFMC/20 - TN/AG/SCC/W/10); Seventh (WT/CFMC/23 - TN/AG/SCC/W/11), and Eight (WT/CFMC/27 – TN/AG/SCC/W/12). 3 WT/GC/M/102, 19 July 2006; WT/GC/M/103, 10 October 2006; WT/GC/M/106, 1 March 2007; WT/GC/M/112, 4 March 2008; WT/GC/114, 21 January 2008; and, WT/GC/M/117, 23 February 2009. 4 High Level Session on Cotton, 15 to 16 March 2007.

5. Progress made on both tracks has been affected by the global financial and economic crisis and ensuing recession, the commodity price crisis, and the March 2008 crisis in the cotton futures market. Finally, these have been compounded by the much larger challenge of the rising costs of the delayed conclusion of the Doha Round. The longer the delay in concluding the Doha Round, the higher the costs for the cotton sector and other development dimensions of the Doha Round.

6. Since 2005, my intensive consultations with Members unquestionably show that the cotton dossier has emerged as one of the key tests of the Doha Round. I share the position of Members that cotton is a test of the Doha Development Round. As reaffirmed at the 2007 Cotton HLS, there will be no conclusion to the Doha Round without a resolution of the cotton question, and it is also now self- evident that a satisfactory conclusion of the cotton dossier depends on an ambitious and balanced conclusion to the Doha Round. The cotton dossier and the Doha Round are inseparably linked. The 2010 conclusion of the Doha Round would contribute to a resolution of the cotton dossier in those areas within the competence of the trading system.

II. BACKGROUND

7. Implementation of the mandate on cotton operates on the two-track approach, to which Members agreed in 2004. The two tracks encompass the trade policy aspects; and, the development assistance aspects. The trade policy track is being addressed within the agriculture negotiations, under the Single Undertaking. As mandated by Members, using the Consultative Framework Mechanism on Cotton, I have led the efforts on the development assistance aspects (outside of the Single Undertaking) in close cooperation with the development community. An integral element of the Doha cotton mandate, which Members have repeatedly stressed, is the requirement for coherence between the trade and development assistance aspects.5

8. Since my 2005 Second Periodic Report, I have convened eight Rounds of my Consultative Framework Mechanism on Cotton, in addition to the High Level Session on Cotton. I have also consulted intensively and extensively with the C4 (along with Brazil, the EC, and the US), the AU, the WTO African Group, the Least-Developed Countries Consultative Group, the ACP and the combined G90, on the cotton dossier. I have remained in sustained contacts with the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture Special Session (CoA/SS) and of the Sub-Committee on Cotton (SCC). On the basis of these contacts, eight Secretariat Progress Reports have been submitted to Members in the SCC and I have directly provided six updates to the General Council. This Third Periodic Report is a summary of this regular flow of reports to WTO Members.

III. COTTON SECTOR DEVELOPMENTS6

A. A Combination of Recent Crises

9. The global cotton sector has been negatively impacted by a combination of three recent successive crises that have exacerbated several long-term trends. They are: the 2007/08 global commodity price crisis; the March 2008 crisis in the cotton futures market; and, the 2008/09 global financial and economic crisis.

5 WT/L/579: paragraph 1.b; and, Annex A: paragraphs 4 and 5. 6 This section draws on data from the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC). The WTO and ICAC Secretariats are in active collaboration within the Director-General's Consultative Framework Mechanism on Cotton and at annual Plenary Meetings of the ICAC. In addition, ICAC contributes cotton sector projects and activities to the Director-General's Evolving Table on Cotton Development Assistance in the implementation of the Doha mandate. WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 4

10. There have been sporadic spikes in commodity prices over the past five years. These attained higher than normal peaks in 2003, 2007 and 2008. These have manifested particularly in energy and agricultural food prices. For instance, crude oil prices increased from an annual average of US$29 a barrel in 2003 to attain a daily spot price of US$146 in 2008, before retreating to fluctuate between US$50 and US$65. Energy price increases caused an escalation in fertilizer prices between 2007 and 2008. The consequence has been an increase in agricultural production costs. On average, 20% of overall cotton production costs are accounted for by fertilizer costs. The effect of the commodity price crisis produced a significant increase in cotton production costs and tighter profit margins (reduced profitability). In contrast, alternative crops to cotton (grains and oilseeds in particular) became more profitable due to higher prices, more attractive to farmers. The production appeal of cotton alternatives has also been increased in some cases by government bio-fuel subsidies. The net effect was a decline in world cotton area in the seasons 2007/08 and 2008/09.

11. The 2008 crisis in the Cotton Futures Market resulted from increased speculative activity. In the first half of 2008, price movements exhibited exceptional volatility, fluctuating between US¢69 and US¢90 per pound of cotton lint. This transient spike in futures market prices created a situation in which several cotton merchants, who had hedged their positions7 at lower prices, were confronted with significantly high margin calls. Unable to pay, they liquidated their positions at a loss. Many merchants were unable to recover and declared bankruptcy. Others exited the cotton business. The direct effect on the cotton sector was the reduced ability of cotton merchants to purchase large quantities of cotton in advance, and at fixed prices (a common practice before the futures market crisis). Trade finance (credit) for cotton merchants decreased significantly in this period.

12. The global economic crisis, growth deceleration and contraction effectively began from August 2007. This crisis and growth reduction negatively affected textiles consumption and consequently cotton mill use. In the 2007/08 season, world cotton mill use declined by 13% to 23 million tons. This was the single most precipitous decline in global cotton consumption in over 60 years. In this period, cotton mill use contracted in China (which accounts for approximately 40% of world industrial cotton consumption), Europe, India, the United States and elsewhere.

13. These crises have been reflected in cotton production, consumption, stocks, prices and trade patterns.

B. Cotton Production

14. Production and cotton mill use have been affected by the global financial and economic crisis and the ensuing recession. In 1939, global cotton production (and consumption) totalled 6.5 million tons. Sixty years later, in 1999, cotton production was slightly below 20 million tons.

15. Production increased to a record high of 27 million tons in the 2004/05 season. Production was slightly lower in the three following seasons. In the season ending July 2009, production dropped by 10% to 23.4 million tons. This was the largest decline since the early 1990s. Production declined in Brazil, China, the CFA (Communauté Financière Africaine) zone, India, Turkey, the USA and Uzbekistan. Production increased in Australia and Pakistan.

16. In LDCs,8 cotton production reached a record 1.4 million tons in 2004/05, accounting for 5.1% of the global output. Production decreased in each of the following four seasons, to an approximate level of 800,000 tons in 2008/09, or 3.5% of the global output.

17. The cotton industry and production in Africa have been more severely affected than in most other countries. In the 2004/05 season, total African cotton production registered a record 2 million tons. Thereafter, it has declined in every season. In 2008/09, it declined to 1.1 million tons; a 15% decline from the 2007/08 season and the lowest production level since the early 1980s. In 2008/09, cotton production in Africa accounted for 5% of world output, down from 8% from the record production year in 2004/05.

18. In this overall setting for Africa and the CFA zone, Burkina Faso is working hard to respond to the challenges. Cotton production in Burkina Faso declined significantly between 2004/05 and 2007/08. However, since 2008/09 production has slightly recovered. In the 2008/09 season, production stood at 182,000 tons or 21% more than in the 2007/08 season (but still 31% lower than in 2004/05). Burkina Faso has become the largest LDC and African cotton producer because production in other large African cotton-producing countries has declined even more. The adoption of a cotton price smoothing scheme and the introduction of bio-tech cotton on a commercial scale9 have probably helped to stop the decline in cotton production in Burkina Faso.

C. Yields

19. Between 1990/91 and 2008/09, cotton yields in LDCs have not improved, and have decreased slightly. Yields averaged approximately 320 kg of cotton lint per hectare in 1990/91, or 56% of the world yield. In 2008/09, the cotton yield in LDCs averaged 290 kg per hectare, or 38% of the world yield. Although the figures from individual African cotton producers vary, the estimated average yield for Africa was 313 kg/ha in 2008/09, or less than half the world average of 763 kg/ha. Most cotton area in Africa is rain-fed, which explains in part why cotton yields are lower than the world average. However, while the average cotton yield in the rest of the world increased between 1990/91 and 2008/09, the average cotton yield in Africa declined slightly during the same period. This stands in contrast to the countries reflecting higher yields per hectare such as Australia (1,932 kg/ha), Brazil (1,416 kg/ha), the US (911 kg/ha), etc.

D. Cotton Mill Use

20. World cotton mill use has also been affected as a consequence of decline and contraction in GDP growth. A 13% decline in mill use (to 23 million tons) was registered for the season ending in July 2009. This decline was the largest recorded since the Great Depression. A modest recovery of global cotton mill consumption is expected in the current season (2009/10) with global upturn and growth prospects. According to ICAC estimates, mill use will be lower than in the previous decade and is not expected to return to pre-crisis levels for several years. Aggregate African cotton mill use declined by 15% in 2008/09 to 445,000 tons (or 2% of global cotton mill use) and is not expected to rebound in the short-term.

8 Most cotton-producing LDCs are in Africa. 9 An estimated 29% of cotton area in Burkina Faso was planted to bio-tech cotton in the present season (2009/10). WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 7

E. Cotton Price

21. Cotton price has been on a long-term downward trend over the past 30 years. Based on the Cotlook A Index,10 nominal prices averaged US¢74 per pound of cotton lint from the 1970s to the 1990s. However, in the most recent 10 years (1999/2000 to 2008/09), the Cotlook A Index has averaged US¢58 per pound. Taking account of year-to-year variations, the average has approximated US¢16 lower than in the period from the 1970s to the 1990s. The trending downwards in prices, combined with an increase in production costs, have increased the pressure on cotton producers. The average forecast for the current season (2009/10) is US¢64; this would represent a relative increase of 5% from the previous season.

F. Cotton Trade

22. The top 10 cotton exporters and importers are shown in the Table below.

TOP 10 COTTON EXPORTERS AND IMPORTERS 2008/2009 SEASON Total value of global cotton trade: 17.6 billion U.S. dollars Total value of global cotton exports: 8.8 billion U.S. dollars Total value of global cotton imports: 8.8 billion U.S. dollars EXPORT VOLUME IMPORT VOLUME EXPORTER IMPORTER (Thousand Tons) (Thousand Tons) USA 2,890 CHINA 1,523 BRAZIL 596 BANGLADESH 650 UZBEKISTAN 560 TURKEY 629 INDIA 505 PAKISTAN 475 AUSTRALIA 260 INDONESIA 430 GREECE 220 THAILAND 349 BURKINA FASO 161 MEXICO 285 TURKMENISTAN 90 VIETNAM 256 TAJIKISTAN 90 KOREA, REP. 215 PAKISTAN 88 RUSSIA 204 Source: compiled from ICAC data.

23. World cotton imports were affected by the decline in cotton mill use. Imports declined from 8.3 million tons in 2007/08 to 6.5 million tons in 2008/09 (or 22% decrease). Imports are projected to increase to 6.9 million tons in the current season (2009/10). Exports were affected by the global financial and economic crisis and recession. World cotton exports declined from 8.4 million tons in 2007/08 to 6.5 million tons in 2008/09 (or a 21% decrease).

24. African cotton exports currently account for 13% of global cotton trade, down from 19% in the record year of 2004/05. Most African cotton production is exported. As a consequence, although the African cotton market has a minor effect on the global cotton market (because of its relatively small cotton market share in world cotton exports), its cotton market is significantly affected by developments in the world cotton market. African cotton trade has been affected by recent events. In the current season (2009/10), its cotton fibre exports have declined to 800,000 tons or half the level at which they stood (1.6 million) in the 2005/06 season. This reduction has had corresponding dramatic effects on reduced cotton export receipts. WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 9

G. Direction of African Cotton Trade

25. The destination of cotton exports from African countries has changed in the past decade, shifting from mainly European to largely East Asian markets. This reflects larger global cotton trade trends. China is the largest market for African cotton, accounting for more than one third of African cotton exports.

26. A combination of factors have affected African cotton production and trade. These have ranged from increasing production costs (particularly increased fertilizer costs), to restricted trade finance from cotton trading companies (a consequence of the financial crisis), volatility and the long- term downward trend in global cotton prices and bad weather. The mix of factors include tighter profit margins, linked to increasing costs and downward price trends and a competitiveness factor arising from the Euro-pegged CFA Franc in relation to the United States dollar, the currency for cotton trade in the CFA zone. The strengthened (overvalued) CFA Franc/Euro peg in relation to cotton trade denominated in US dollars has offset most seasonal cotton price increases. Competitiveness has been affected with cotton price declines in recent years. WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 10

H. Cotton and Food Security

27. More than 100 countries are involved in cotton trade. Close to 300 million people are engaged in cotton production.11 Recently, the international cotton community has drawn attention to the role of cotton in economic development. It has stressed the relationship between a thriving cotton sector and food security, particularly during a period of global economic crisis. Cotton farmers state that the starting point of "food security" is "security of income". The point has been made that cotton receipts enable farmers, particularly those in economically vulnerable regions, arid and semi-arid regions, to pay for the costs of education, health care, food, etc. Furthermore, cotton income is linked to food security by providing resources to engage in best agricultural practices, including funding of inputs and enhancing soil fertility. The relationship between cotton and food security is an area under current active study.12

IV. COTTON DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

A. The Evolving Table

28. The forum for the implementation of the Doha mandate on the development assistance aspects of cotton is the DGCMFC. The 12th Round of Consultations was held on 23 October 2009. The "Director-General's Evolving Table on Cotton Development Assistance" (hereafter: Evolving Table or ET) is the common instrument for the work of Members in this area. It serves the functions of transparency, tracking and monitoring development assistance, evaluating disbursement flows and operational status. In addition, the ET has also emerged as an indispensable platform for dialogue between the providers and receivers of development assistance for cotton.

29. My First Version of the Table was circulated in 2005 to the General Council and subsequently to Ministers at the 2005 Hong Kong Ministerial Conference (WT/CFMC/6). The 7th Version was circulated in September 2009 (WT/CFMC/6/Rev.6), prior to the 12th Round of Consultations. Following the understanding reached at the 12th Round of the DGCFMC on 23 October 2009, I have circulated the 8th version of the ET (WT/CFMC/6/Rev.7) to present Ministers with a completed and updated state-of-play. Much progress has been made. The quantum progress made between the First Version in 2005 and the 8th Version (2009) on cotton programmes, projects and activities and beneficiaries are indicated in the Table below.

WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 11

30. Progress registered in value terms also indicates significant value. The value of cotton- specific development assistance currently totals US$564,270,986, while assistance provided within the broader framework for agriculture and infrastructure-related support stands at US$2,897,155,518. These gains are considerable.

31. The parameters for tracking the implementation of the mandate on cotton development assistance are evident in the Evolving Table. However, it was only from the 3rd Version of the ET (WT/CFMC/6/Rev.2) that the agreed parameters were established for a more quantitative-based assessment of the progress in the implementation of the mandate on cotton development assistance. These parameters were discussed, streamlined and agreed at the High Level Session (HLS) on Cotton, 15-16 March 2007. For instance, a "disbursement column", which I had suggested, different from the starting "commitment" column was agreed. Furthermore, after the 2005 Hong Kong Ministerial Conference, I initiated a process of "verification" between providers and recipients. As a consequence, each circulated new version of the ET is subject to a "verification" exercise. On the basis of the agreed improved format for the ET, the Table below summarizes the progress made so far in relation to commitments and disbursements from 2005 to 2009.

32. The traditional bilateral development community and the multilateral and regional development agencies have provided effective leadership. They made foundation contributions that set the stage for the initial preparation and the evolution of the different versions of the ET. The European Communities and several of its individual Members (France, Germany, and the Netherlands), Canada, Japan and the United States have led the way in the implementation of the mandate on the development assistance aspects of cotton. From the establishment of the mandate in 2004, they adjusted their development programmes to prioritize and take due account of the mandate for cotton development assistance. The response and contributions by the multilateral and regional development agencies have been equally critical, particularly through country programmes, some of which are linked to poverty reduction; and, the design of new programmes, including through concrete project such as in the area of value addition. The contributing multilateral and regional development agencies have included: African Development Bank (AfDB), Common Fund for Commodities (CFC), Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), International Monetary Fund (IMF), International Trade Centre (ITC), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), World Bank and the former Joint Integrated Technical Assistance Programme for Africa (JITAP).

15 Percentage changes are based on aggregates of Parts I and II. WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 12

33. Contributions to the ET are in three categories: i) cotton-specific development assistance; ii) development assistance for cotton within the broader framework of agriculture and infrastructure- related assistance; and, iii) available/accessible resources that could be allocated to cotton on the basis of national development priorities, although not specifically ear-marked for cotton.

34. The actual scope of the programmes, projects and activities cover a wide area in response to the expressed needs and projects submitted by cotton proponents. These areas include, inter alia:

• Training and Capacity-Building for cotton farmers, producer associations, government officials.

• Domestic cotton sector reforms:

- re-organization of cotton producer associations.

- preparation of national cotton sector strategies.

- implementation of cotton strategies.

- sustainable cotton production.

- cotton classification and certification systems.

- increasing cotton yield varieties.

- commercial standardization of instrument testing systems.

- Cotton Exporter's Guide.

• Cotton multinational competitiveness programmes.

• Agricultural best practices.

• Agricultural diversification, productivity and market development projects.

• Agricultural cooperatives, gender support in agriculture and cotton sector.

• Bio-technology and bio-safety.

• Fiscal support (stabex, concessional and non-concessional grant support) to compensate for revenue shortfalls.

V. SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION FOR COTTON SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

35. The mandate for South-South Cooperation on cotton was established in paragraph 12 of the Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration.16 In accordance with this mandate, Brazil, China and India have provided effective leadership for the implementation of this mandate. At the initiative of these three Members, the Secretariat organized a "Seminar on South-South Cooperation for Cotton Sector Development", on 22 November 2007.17

36. At the Seminar and subsequently, the contributions and indicated areas of support by Brazil, China, Egypt, India and the International Trade Centre, include, inter alia, the following:

• Research and technology transfer for improved agricultural/cotton productivity:

- testing and adaptation to tropical and varying local conditions.

- creation of genetic variability adapted to local conditions.

- collection, conservation, cataloguing and evaluation of cotton germ plasm.

- increased cotton yield and productivity, fibre quality and by-products.

- provision of access to new cotton-seed varieties (free of costs and royalties to LDCs and African countries).

• Improved market access for cotton.

• Organic and BT cotton production.

• Effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies.

• Cooperation support across the entire cotton sector value chain.

• Information Technology (IT) use for improved agricultural productivity.

• Training and capacity-building for officials, agriculture and cotton producers:

- general cotton arbitration association.

- product classing, spinning mills, and ginning.

- direction of cotton market trade flows.

• Improvements in Aid for Trade.

37. Contributions on the platform of South-South Cooperation for Cotton Sector Development is voluntary. There has been widespread appreciation by the membership for these contributions, which are fully reflected in the 8th Version of the Evolving Table.

VI. DOMESTIC COTTON SECTOR REFORMS

38. Domestic cotton sector reforms by the proponents of the Sectoral Initiative on Cotton were reviewed and discussed by participants at the 2004 African Regional Workshop on Cotton. The results from the Cotonou Workshop laid the foundation for the Doha mandate on cotton.18 The item on "Domestic Cotton Sector Reforms" has been standard on the agenda of the DGCFMC from the very beginning in 2004. Much progress has been made. Cotton proponents have actively engaged. Based on inputs from Benin, Burkina Faso and Chad, a First Version of a "Domestic Cotton Sector Reforms Table" (DCS-RT; WT/CFMC/21) was created. Mali has provided information in two documents (WT/CFMC/24 and 25).

39. The continuing relevance of discussions on this item is that it provides the platform for a constructive donor/recipient dialogue to underscore the vital connections between resources provided by the development community, on the one hand, and more efficient resource use, productivity and greater openness amongst recipients of assistance, on the other. These discussions have resulted in a win-win for all parties.

40. There is scope for continuing improvements on this item. These improvements would be facilitated by provision of timely and regular inputs to the DCS-RT by all beneficiaries of development assistance for cotton. The Second Version of the DCS-RT should be circulated in 2010.

VII. CONCLUSION

41. The cotton dossier has emerged as a defining issue in the DDA and WTO Members consider it as a test of the Doha Development Round. It is at the centre of priorities established by developing countries, particularly the least-developed countries amongst them and notably the C4, the proponents of the Sectoral Initiative on Cotton (SIC). The response by the entire membership to establish a mandate on cotton in the 1 August 2004 General Council Decision is a tribute to the WTO. It demonstrated the sensitivity of the WTO to development concerns and priorities in the DDA. In the mandate, Members agreed to treat the cotton dossier "ambitiously, expeditiously and specifically".

42. Since the 6th WTO Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in 2005, the facts show that progress has been made in the implementation of the Doha mandate on cotton, particularly on the development assistance aspects. All parties have contributed to the progress made so far. Paragraph 11 of the 2005 Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration and the December 2008 revised draft modalities in agriculture give some evidence of the progress made on the trade policy aspects. Members have reaffirmed the commitment to "address cotton ambitiously, expeditiously and specifically, within the agriculture negotiations in relation to all trade-distorting policies affecting the sector in all three pillars of market access, domestic support and export competition". Members have also reaffirmed their commitment to ensure an explicit decision on cotton within the agriculture negotiations.

43. A range of factors, referred to in this report, are affecting the long-term health of the global cotton sector. These factors, also broadly affecting commodities, include price volatility, price competition from chemical fibres, currency movements and export competitiveness, developments in technology, trade-distorting domestic support and government sectoral interventions. These factors

18 WT/L/587: African Regional Workshop on Cotton, Cotonou, Benin, 23-24 March 2004, organized by the WTO Secretariat; and, WT/L/579 (paragraph 1.b): Decision Adopted by the General Council on 1 August 2004. WT/GC/120 WT/CFMC/DG/3 Page 15

have been compounded by the recent global financial and economic crisis and ensuing recession. They have combined to increase adversity in the cotton sector. Global cotton production and trade have declined. Prices have been in long-term decline. As a consequence, cotton receipts have been negatively affected. While virtually all cotton producers and traders have been affected, the more vulnerable – particularly those in the least developed countries, including the C4 - have been most severely affected. The adversity being experienced in the cotton sector has had, and continues to have, negative consequences for the livelihood, economic welfare and poverty reduction in the populations in the affected countries. In my April 2009 letter to all WTO Members, under cover of which I circulated the 6th Version of the Evolving Table on Cotton Development Assistance, I stressed that, "If before there was a need to act expeditiously to address the cotton dossier in the context of the Doha Development Round, the current financial crisis has made it an imperative". This statement continues to be true.

44. Since my last report, significant progress has been made in the implementation of the mandate on cotton development assistance. For instance, the number of beneficiaries has increased by 100%, from 22 in 2005 to 44 in 2009. The aggregate number of cotton activities (programmes and projects) has improved by 259%, from 66 in 2005 to 237 in 2009. From 2008 when the current parameters for the Evolving Table were formalized and agreed, the percentage change between versions has been significant: between Version 3 (WT/CFMC/6/Rev.2) and Version 8 (WT/CFMC/6/Rev.7) "Commitments" increased by 65%; and, correspondingly "Disbursements" significantly improved by 1,472% between Versions 3 and 8. All this is work in progress. There is scope for further improvements, considering that implementation of the mandate for the development assistance aspects started from a clean slate. I continue to urge for more rapid action on disbursements by the development community and for top-up, particularly in identified areas of need. Similarly, I urge recipients of assistance to improve by providing more timely feedback and better engage their focal points in the dialogue.

45. Progress so far has been made possible by a unique development partnership on cotton. The engagement between providers and recipients, more so over the past five years, has been intensive, constructive and sustained. This progress built on the classical development aid foundation of the bilateral donors and multilateral and regional agencies, was sharply boosted by developing countries on the platform of South-South Cooperation for Cotton Sector Development. South-South contributions in the implementation of the mandate has, in my view, emerged as a best practice and a good example for trade development involving developing countries. The additionality and uniqueness introduced are reflected in adapted technologies and agricultural production practices, including cotton, amongst developing countries. Brazil, China and India have provided exemplary leadership in this area.

46. The dialogue amongst development partners within the Consultative Framework Mechanism on Cotton also indicates that continuing progress on this track is related to overall agriculture and infrastructure development in LDCs, particularly in the cotton-producing countries. The contributions of Members on Aid-for-Trade and cotton development assistance can provide vital support for these countries as they undertake domestic reforms to increase yield, productivity and competitiveness.

47. In conclusion, the satisfactory resolution of the cotton dossier, in those areas within the mandate of the DDA and the competence of the multilateral trading system, are inseparably linked to an ambitious and balanced conclusion of the Doha Round. I continue to urge Members to move rapidly to conclude the Doha Round in 2010.

Dear Ambassadors/Permanent Representatives,

I am forwarding to Members under cover of this letter the 8th version of the Evolving Table on Cotton Development Assistance (WT/CFMC/6/Rev.7). This is a follow-up to the understanding by Members and participants at the 12th Round of my Consultative Framework Mechanism on Cotton, to circulate, prior to the Ministerial Conference, the 8th version which updates all the contributions by Members since the 23 October 2009 Consultations.

These updated commitments and disbursements are highlighted as hereunder:

• In Part I, the number of individual beneficiaries remained stable in the current version at 23. The total number of commitments stayed put at 153. This was matched by the corresponding total amount in value terms at US$564 million.

• As regards the disbursement flow, the total value remained unchanged at US$215 million in the current version.

• In Part II, under Agriculture and Infrastructure-Related Development Assistance, the number of individual beneficiaries remained unchanged at 41. The number of commitments increased by 6.3%, from 79 in the 7th version to 84 in the current version. The total value of these commitments reflected a substantial increase of 24.8%, from US$2.32 billion in the 7th version to US$2.89 billion in the current version. With respect to the disbursement flow, it remained stable at US$178 million.

I urge Members to read the attached Evolving Table in conjunction with my Third Periodic Report to Ministers (WT/GC/120 and WT/CFMC/DG/3). The Report to Ministers will be before Members at the 17 November 2009 General Council under item 3 of the provisional agenda.

DIRECTOR-GENERAL'S CONSULTATIVE FRAMEWORK MECHANISM ON COTTON

Evolving Table - 8th Version

Revision

This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and without prejudice to the positions of Members and to their rights and obligations under the WTO

Explanatory Notes

1. The attached Table is divided into four Parts, as follows:

• Part I: Cotton Specific Development Assistance. This is assistance directly related to the cotton sector.

• Part II: Agriculture and Infrastructure-Related Development Assistance. This is assistance related to cotton when provided under more general agricultural or infrastructure support programmes.

• Part III: Available/Accessible Resources. This refers to assistance in the form of resources available from multilateral institutions through: i) Budget support provided in the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) and the Poverty Reduction Support Credits (PRSCs); and, ii) Debt relief in the form of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC), Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance, Exogenous Shocks Facility and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI).

Part III was established in accordance with the outcome from the March 2007 High-Level Session on Cotton.1 The purpose is to show "available" resources as distinguished from "committed" resources (see footnote No. 15 on page 21 which describes the nature of these resources). These could be deployed to any sector or activity on the basis of national development, or poverty-reduction priorities. In this section, there are no ex ante values for the column "Status/Cotton Available Amounts". Value entries will be made on the basis of domestic capital and recurrent expenditures.

• Part IV: National Cotton Sector Focal Points. This Part provides the coordinates for focal points established by assistance beneficiaries for their engagement with the bilateral and multilateral development communities.
