To restrict definition

To restrict means, according to the drafters, to "keep output below the level which [would have been] allowed in the absence of restrictions". The drafters rejected the proposal that regulation of production, through price stabilization programmes, also be an accepted criterion (EPCT/A/PV/19). They agreed that subsidies were not "necessarily inconsistent with restrictions on production and that in some cases they might be necessary features of a governmental programme for restricting production" (Havana Reports, p. 90). According to the note to Article XI the proportion between imports and domestic production is to be determined by taking into account "special factors" that may have affected or may be affecting the trade in the product concerned. The note specifically excludes from the definition of the term "special factors" changes "artificially brought about by means not permitted under the [General] Agreement", but not changes artificially brought by legal means such as production subsidies or tariff protection granted within the bounds of Article II. It is thus clear that the production restrictions applied under Article XI:2(c)(i) may in principle coexist with production subsidies. This means that it is not necessary to restrict the level of production below the level that would exist in the absence of all government support. It also means that production which exists only because of production subsidies may be effectively restricted by imposing quantitative limits on the availability of subsidies. Other than requiring a governmental measure, Article XI:2(c)(i) does not specify how the production restriction is to be imposed.
