This summary provides an overview of the initial five papers produced under the Van Lennep Subsides Initiative. The goals of the Van Lennep Subsidies Initiative are; (1) to establish a process to resolve subsidy-related differences between developed and developing countries in a constructive, transparent and equitable manner; (2) to defuse the present antagonistic and suspicious attitudes towards the WTO on the issue of subsidies; and (3) to build research capacity in the participating developing countries to identify the priority, trade-related subsidy issues affecting them, and to develop policy approaches to address these priorities.
