Changes in U.S. and European Union farm policy are a reference point for Mexico: the dispute between them has been important for understanding the nature of the disciplines of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The present study shows that the advances in reforms are not coming up to expectations, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECDE) data base and its methodology. However, there was a change towards less connected policies, the measures for sustaining market prices are becoming less important, although they are still significant. This also illustrations the defects in the OECD's methodology, based on the Price Support Estimate (PSE) category and the Mexican case.
