25. Since for none of the non-upland cotton crops planted acreage exceeds base acreage, the entire amount of 2001 PFC payments available for allocation ($15,621,471.2900) is allocated to upland cotton.901 Table 2.17
26. The total amount of MY 2002 direct payments that is available for allocation over crops whose planted acreage exceeds their base acreage is allocated as detailed in the following table: Table 2.18
27. The total amount of 2002 direct payments that constitute support to upland cotton on farms that produce upland cotton but do not hold upland cotton base is therefore $4,127,961.2.912 Table 2.19
28. The total amount of MY 2002 counter-cyclical payments that is available for allocation over crops whose planted acreage exceeds their base acreage is allocated as detailed in the following table: Table 2.20
29. The amount of 2002 counter-cyclical payments that constitute support to upland cotton on farms that produce upland cotton but do not hold upland cotton base is therefore $1,894,060.6.923 30. In a third step, Brazil presents the total amount of contract payments received by farms that produce upland cotton that constitute support to upland cotton, whether or not these farms actually hold upland cotton base.924 Table 2.21
31. For purposes of comparison, Brazil reproduces the results of its “14/16th” methodology, as presented to the Panel at paragraphs 8 of Brazil’s 22 December 2003 Answers to Questions and Brazil’s 9 September Further Submission. Table 2.22
32. As the Panel can readily see, both methodologies produce quite similar results. 3. Annex IV-Type Methodology Over Contract Crop Values Only 33. The calculations in this section apply an Annex IV-type allocation methodology to all contract payments received by farms that produce upland cotton, whether or not those farms hold upland cotton base. The approach is the same as in Section 10 of Brazil’s 28 January Comments and Requests Regarding US Data. – with the sole exception that the allocation is performed only over the value of programme crops produced on the farm, rather than over the entire value of the upland cotton farms (crop) production.926 34. As a first step, Brazil tabulates the total amount of contract payments received by farms that produce upland cotton, as calculated in Section 2 above. The following four tables show the results of this calculation indicating the amount of contract payments by contract payment crop. Table 3.1
Table 3.2
Table 3.3
