Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

On August 25-26, Post conveyed reftel nonpaper on proposed reform recommendations for the FAO's Consultative Subcommittee on Surplus Disposal (CSSD) to Gabriella Habermayer, Head of the Ministry of Economy's Multilateral Trade Division; to Friedrich Huemer, Head of the Ministry of Agriculture's International Trade Division; and to Franz Hoerlberger, the MFA's point-of contact for FAO issues. In an August 31 follow-up discussion with Econ Unit Chief, Habermayer agreed that the WTO was not the proper form to monitor food aid disciplines. Habermayer added that, in principle, the GoA supported a reform of the CSSD, but she questioned whether it was feasible to reform the moribund CSSD thoroughly. Nevertheless, Habermayer said the GoA would support a convocation of a working group, under the auspices of the FAO, to evaluate CSSD reform proposals. Brown
