Answer 33: C

Explanation: The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) was negotiated during the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade, and entered into force with the establishment of the WTO on January 1, 1995. It aims at reforming trade in agriculture,
envisaging a fair and market-oriented system, which improves predictability and stability for both importing and exporting countries.
The Agreement on Agriculture applies not only basic agricultural products (such as wheat and live animals), but also the products
derived from them (such as flour and meat), as well as most processed agricultural products (e.g. chocolate and sausages). The
coverage of the Agreement also includes wines, spirits and tobacco products, as well as fibres (such as cotton). Fish and fish
products are not included, nor are forestry products. These products are covered by the Non-Agricultural Market Access (NAMA)
negotiations of the World Trade Organization, based on the Doha Declaration of 2001.
