Only prohibited or actionable subsidies violate the ASCM [Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures]. An actionable subsidy is a subsidy that is "specific" (i.e., essentially a subsidy that is targeted to a particular company or industry or group of companies or industries) and causes adverse effects (e.g., lost sales, lower prices) to foreign competitors of the subsidy recipient. 2, record 1, English, - actionable%20subsidy

La deuxième catégorie de subventions visées par l'accord […] est celle des subventions donnant lieu à une action. Contrairement aux subventions prohibées, les subventions donnant lieu à une action ne sont pas prohibées d'office. Il s'agit de subventions qui, en raison des effets défavorables qu'elles peuvent entraîner, sont susceptibles d'être contestées par les États membres de l'[Organisation mondiale du commerce]. 2, record 1, French, - subvention%20donnant%20lieu%20%C3%A0%20une%20action
