In many developing and industrialized countries, so-poor enterprises play an important role in the economy. Under what circumstances could their transactions be subject to the disciplines of the SCM agreement? Disagreement on this issue has triggered several disputes within the WTO. 5.26 According to Canada, the usual rules of interpretation of international law require that interpretation reflect the usual meaning of the words used in the context and with respect to the purpose and purpose of the agreement in question (points 5.1 to 5.4). With regard to the interpretation and analysis of the relevant provisions of an international agreement, Canada also believes that the interpreter must ensure that the solution of any ambiguity does not disturb the „carefully drawn balance of members` rights and obligations” 5.46 With respect to Canada`s argument that the use of a „recipient benefit” is contrary to the purpose and purpose of the SCM convention. Canada`s „limiting the use of trade-distorting subsidies” considers canada to have incomprehensible effects (see item 5.37) that the type of benefits Brazil estimates as part of TPC`s contribution to Bombardier is not for the purpose and purpose of the SCM agreement to „distort trade.” Nor does Brazil understand, as Canada asserts, that the „benefit recipient” test is inconsistent with the purpose and purpose of the agreement. Brazil also objects to Canada`s view that section 6.1 (a) of the SCM Convention bases its argument on net costs on the basis of context, since section 6.1 (a) requires that the value of a grant be calculated for the purposes of this paragraph on the basis of the costs borne by the 80-year-old government. Brazil opposes Canada`s view that, while „benefit” under Article 1.1 means „benefit to the beneficiary,” a contribution from the state, called a „subsidy” in section 1.1, could not be assessed under section 6.1 and Schedule IV, stating that Canada ignores this assessment in one of the ways to identify „serious biases” within the meaning of section 6.1 of the SCM Convention. If the subsidy in question is defined for Brazil on the basis of „benefit to the recipient,” a „serious bias” could still be found for Brazil on the basis of the other provisions of Article 6.1 that characterize the effect of the subsidy based on the extent of the benefit received by the recipient. In addition, Article 6.1 is not relevant to Brazil for export subsidies that do not need to be quantified or subject to a specific assessment to trigger the article 3 ban. In previous cases, the appellate body has stated that the term „public institution” means „an entity that exercises, exercises or is capable of governing.” She stressed that „the mere ownership or control of a business by a government without more is not enough to establish that the company is a public body.” The appellate body also pointed out that „two governments are not exactly the same, the exact contours and characteristics of a public body are necessarily different from one entity to one, from state to state and from case to case.” 5.41 Brazil argues that the structure of Article 1.1 requires this construction: Article 1.1, point a), on the source of the financial contribution – the government; As a structural issue, point b), which calls for a „benefit,” must speak of the impact of this contribution on its beneficiary. China argued that „the investigating authority can only use an a-to-country reference value if it has found that prices in the country are actually determined by the government, either de jure or de facto” [initial emphasis].
