Although it is commonly perceived that support provided through the trade distortive Boxes (Amber, Blue and S&D) can also serve environmental and rural development objectives, the Green Box is the tool in the AoA which can be used to address agri-environmental and rural development aspects in an only minimally trade distorting manner.
