Export subsidy

據報道，WTO最近發現歐盟對食糖生產者的津貼違反了全球貿易條例，從而招致了巴西、泰國和澳大利亞等國的不滿。外電有這樣的報道：A preliminary ruling by the Geneva-based trade body found that the EU has violated limits on export subsidies, which developing countries say undercut their producers' prices, said Brazilian foreign minister Celso Amorim. export subsidy的意思是“出口補貼”，指一國政府為了降低出口商品的價格，加強其在國際市場上的競爭能力，對出口的商品給予出口商直接或間接的補貼。
