a) 2013 Bali Ministerial Conference:

♤ An agreement to negotiate a permanent solution to Public Stockholding for food security purposes and to refrain from challenging breaches of domestic support commitments resulting from developing countries' public stockholding programmes for food security provided certain conditions are met.

♤ A declaration to reduce all forms of export subsidies and to enhance transparency and monitoring.

♤ A temporary peace clause was added in Bali. It stated that no country would be legally barred from food security programmes even if the subsidy breached the limits specified in the WTO agreement on agriculture. This clause will remain in force for four years until 2017, by which time the members will find a permanent solution to the problem. However, the permanent solution is still elusive after the 11th Ministerial Conference.
