The case was settled in 2010 with the US offering financial and commercial compensation to Brazil, benefiting Brazilian farmers in particular, pending changes to the subsidies scheme in the 2012 Farm Bill. My talk will also discuss the implications of this outcome for developing countries in general, and whether these countries can obtain leverage in the way that Brazil did. In particular, collaboration between smaller and larger developing countries may provide the best option to increase the former’s capacity to use TRIPS retaliation as leverage against developed countries. This may require, however, that the 2005 amendment to TRIPS enter into force – something which today depends essentially on its formal acceptance by small developing countries.

But the House of Representatives is about to change U.S. law to make retaliation easier. At this AEI event, leading WTO and trade-law experts will address whether these legislative proposals would violate existing WTO rules and whether a U.S. case against Chinese currency practices could succeed before the WTO.
