The package comes after talks on farm subsidies got stuck as China, India, the African Group, and the Caribbean and Pacific countries insisted that trade-distorting support given by developed countries be checked first. On subsidies for public programmes, differences remain to expand the peace clause to all developing members and new products. The peace clause protects the food procurement plans of developing countries against action from WTO members if the subsidy ceilings of 10 per cent of the value of food production are breached.
