The UK\u2019s current trading commitments to other WTO members, such as the tariffs it sets on goods they export to the UK, are applied through the EU\u2019s schedules of commitments. As we leave the EU these will have to be set out separately for the UK. The proposals in the letter cover how the UK\u2019s commitments, including on domestic agricultural support, should be calculated.<\/p> <\/p> The Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS) is the element of domestic support to agriculture which is treated as trade-distorting according to WTO rules, and is therefore subject to limits on what amount is allowable. The EU\u2019s current commitment originated in 1994 reflecting how subsidies were used by the then EEC, including in the UK. As the EU has expanded, this limit has also expanded to have the commitments made by the new EU members added to it. As the UK leaves the EU, we are proposing to take the commitment relevant to the UK with us. The amount we have proposed to take is worked out by going back to original calculations made for the EEC in 1994 and establishing the portion relevant to the UK at the time.<\/p> <\/p> The UK and the EU are committed to engaging with the WTO Membership in a spirit of cooperation, inclusiveness and openness on these matters over the course of the coming weeks and months.<\/p>"}

Sanctions play a crucial role in this strategy. UN Security Council Resolution 2270 (March 2016) introduced broader economic sanctions on the DPRK that aim to restrict major sources of revenue used by the DPRK regime to fund its illegal weapons programmes. UNSCRs 2371 (August 2017) and 2375 (September 2017) expanded these sanctions to include sectoral restrictions on the DPRK\u2019s trade in coal, iron, lead, textiles, crude and refined oil, and overseas workers. It has been less than three months since the UN Security Council agreed to the full coal ban, which marked the first sector-wide ban on exports from the DPRK. The first UN Panel of Experts report on implementation of those sanctions will be released in January, with member state implementation reports due on 3 November. Sanctions take time to have effect, but there are early indications of their impact. The Chinese Central Bank has instructed all Chinese banks to comply with UN resolutions, and Chinese businesses were recently given 120 days to divest themselves of joint ventures with DPRK companies. Other countries are also playing their part, for example by restricting visas for DPRK overseas workers or prohibiting all trade with the DPRK. The EU has introduced a raft of measures that go beyond the UN-mandated sanctions, such as an oil ban and reducing the ceiling on hard currency remittances to the DPRK by two-thirds.<\/p>"}
