印度驳回了美国在WTO对棉花MSP的指控

India reportedly rejects US charges at WTO on cotton MSP
India has reportedly rejected the US allegation of subsidisingcottonbeyond the WorldTradeOrganisation (WTO) limit, with a Geneva-based Indian official saying its market price support is aimed at helping poor farmers who may resort to selling under distress and procurement by government agencies only accounts for a very small part—2 per cent—of total production.
The US had earlier accused India of providing substantial market price support for cotton well in excess of India's WTO spending limits.
India’s method of calculating and reporting its support is consistent with WTO regulations, a news agency reported quoting the unnamed Indian official.
India's figures on total value of production are publicly available and are not included in WTO notifications as it is not mandatory. The United States had alleged that India was substantially under-reporting the value of its minimum support price (MSP) for cotton.

印度驳回了美国在WTO对棉花MSP的指控
据报道，印度驳回了美国指控的在世界贸易组织(WTO)限制之外的棉花补贴，总部位于日内瓦的印度办公室官员称，其市场价格支持旨在帮助贫困农民，他们在困境中求助，采购通过政府机构，只占总产量一个很小的部分，2%。
早前，美国指控印度为棉花提供了大量市场价格支持，远远超出了印度在WTO的支出限制。
一家新闻机构援引这位未具名印度官员的话说，印度的计算方法和报告其支持符合世贸组织的规定。
印度的生产总值数据是公开的，没有包括在世贸组织的通告中，因为它不是强制性的。美国宣称印度大大低估了其棉花最低支助价格(MSP)的价值。
