AGRICULTURE NEGOTIATIONS: BACKGROUNDER
Visualized: approaches to tariff reduction formulas
These are simplified visualizations of the various approaches, presented here only symbolically to give an idea of the difference between the approaches. Each line represents a hypothetical cut from a single representative starting tariff. In reality there are a range of starting tariffs in each category, and for the Uruguay Round approach, a range for possible cuts for each (subject to an average and a minimum).
