II. ECONOMY, ECONOMIC POLICIES AND FOREIGN TRADE
2. Economic Policies
(a) Main directions
Question 1
Macedonia is requested to accept the following commitment concerning the provision of future
information on its privatization process:
The representative of Macedonia confirmed the readiness of Maced onia to ensure the
transparency of its ongoing privatization program and to keep WTO Members informed of its
progress in the reform of its transforming economic and trade regime. He stated that his
Government would provide annual reports to WTO Members on developments in its program
of privatization as long as the privatization programmed would be in existence along the lines of
that provided to the Working Party. He also stated that his Government would provide annualreports on other issues related to its economic reforms as relevant to its obligations under the
WTO.
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to accept the above commitment.
Question 2
Macedonia should prepare a table to be included in the factual summary that lists products and
services subject to price control with their HS and services category numbers.
Answer:
The requested table will be prepared and included in the Factual Summary.
Question 3
Explain the relationship, if any, that may exist between price control measures and export
licensing in relation to products listed in WT/ACC/807/21.
Answer:
There is no relation between the price control measures and the export licensing.  These are
two separate measures.
Question 4
May restrictions on exportation implemented by means of export licensing be used to achieve
price control objectives?  Are they used?
Answer:
No.  See the answer to Question 3 above.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 2
Question 5
How will Macedonia ensure comp liance with the requirements of GATT Article III:9 after
accession?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 6 below.
Question 6
Macedonia is requested to accept the following commitment concerning the application of its
price controls after accession:
The representative of Macedonia st ated that in the application of price controls now or in the
future, Macedonia would apply such measures in a WTO consistent fashion, and take account
of the interests of exporting WTO Members as provided for in Article III:9 of the GATT 1994.
Macedonia would publish the list of goods and services subject to state controls and any that areintroduced or re-introduced in the future in its Official Gazette.  The Working Party took note
of this commitment.
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to accept the above commitment.
(b) Monetary and fiscal policies
(iii) Sales Tax on Goods
Question 7
How does Macedonia intend to bring its excise taxation regime into line with WTO
requirements, in particular with Article III of the GATT 1994?
Answer:
The Ministry of Finance has prepared an action plan on the equalization of excise taxes for
domestic and imported tobacco products.  It encompasses equalization of excise taxes on tobacco
products by 2005 and 2007.
The action plan is included as Attachment 1.
Question 8
When will Macedonia equalize excise tax for imported and domestically produced tobacco
products  and thereby eliminate remaining inconsistencies in this area with the national
treatment requirements of GATT Article III:2?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 7 above.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 3
Question 9
Will Macedonia submit an English translation of  the Government decision for equalization of
excise taxes on domestic and imported tobacco and tobacco products referred to in Question 6
of WT/ACC/807/18?
Answer:
See the answer to question 7 above.
Question 10
Macedonia is requested  to make a commitment th at from the date of accession it will apply the
value added tax in compliance with Article III of the GATT 1994, in a non-discriminatory
manner to imports regardless of the country of  origin and to domestically-produced goods.
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to accept the above commitment.
Question 11
Do the exemptions from VAT listed in WT/ACC/807/18 also apply to all imported goods in the
respective categories?
Answer:
Yes, the exemptions from VAT apply to both domestic and imported products and services.
Question 12
Explain the meaning of the words "import taxes entitled to credit deduction" mentioned in
paragraph 73 of the Factual Summary.  Do the words "import taxes" mean VAT paid on the
seller's purchases during the assessment period?
Answer:
The reference in this question to "import taxes…" mentioned in paragraph 73 of the Factual
Summary is the result of an error.  Paragraph 73 only contains reference to "input taxes entitled to
credit deduction".
Nevertheless, input taxes are amounts for which the outstanding VAT amount for the supply
made in the assessment period are deducted.
Tax credit represents:
− VAT for supply provided to the taxpayer by other taxpayers;
− VAT for payments made in advance by the taxpayer  for supply, when such payments are
still outstanding; and
− VAT paid for imports.
The right to deduction may be exercised only if following conditions are met:WT/ACC/807/23
Page 4
− When the taxpayer who, within the scope of his business activity uses supplied or
imported  goods or services  for the purpose of his business activity; and
− On the basis of an invoice or customs declaration in which the tax is stated separately.
Question 13
Can Macedonia clarify whether VAT is imposed at the point of sale and collected by the sellers,
where the sellers' VAT liability for the assessment period concerned is determined partly on the
basis of total sales?
Answer:
The VAT liability occurs at the moment of the supply of goods or at the moment of a
complete delivery of the service.
When the payment is made prior to the supply of goods or the delivery of service, the VAT
liability for the amount received takes place at the moment of the receipt of the payment.
With regard to imports, the VAT liability occurs  simultaneously with the customs liability or,
in the case of goods exempt from customs duty, at the moment of the entrance of goods into the
country.
The VAT is calculated for a specific assessment period on the basis of the total turnover.
Question 14
Can Macedonia confirm that rates of excise and VAT imposed on goods originating from any
country that is party to its preferential trad e agreements are no lower than those imposed on
the same goods originating from any other coun try and that, accordingly, the MFN treatment
requirements of GATT Article I:1 are met?
Answer:
Excise tax and VAT rates are identical for all imported goods regardless of the country of
origin. The application of excise taxes and VAT in  Macedonia is in full conformity with the MFN
principle contained in Article I:1 of GATT 1994.
Question 15
We seek a commitment from Macedonia to equalize excise taxes on imported and domestic
tobacco and tobacco products prior to the date of accession.
Answer:
See the answer to Question 16 below.
Question 16
Macedonia is requested to make a standard commit ment that from the date of accession, it will
apply its domestic taxes, including those on produc ts listed in the tables attached to its accession
documents, in compliance with Article III of the GATT 1994, in a non-discriminatory manner
to imports regardless of the country of origin and to domestically-produced goods.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 5
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to make the above commitment, with one exception.  During the last
Working Party meeting held on 7 December 2001, Macedonia requested a transition period for the
equalization of excise taxes on tobacco products.  This issue is still subject to negotiations.
See also the answer to Question 7 above.
IV. POLICIES AFFECTING TRADE IN GOODS
1. Import Regulation
(a) Registration requirements for engaging in importing
Question 17
The penultimate paragraph on  page 38 of WT/ACC/807/12 refers to Article 684 of the
Macedonian Law on Trade Companies which states that:  "In their operations on the territory
of the Republic of Macedonia, foreign trade companies and foreign sole proprietors shallcomply with the law and shall have a status equal with domestic persons and legal entities,
unless otherwise determined by a government agreement or by law."
Will you explain the meaning of "government  agreement"?  Does this mean that the
Government can, by its decision, diminish or increase the rights of foreign persons?  If so, what
are the cases in which such a poss ibility is envisaged?  (This question also relates to the services
regime.)
Answer:
The reference is to an international agreement made by the Government (e.g., a treaty or
another type of an international agreement).
Question 18
Will Macedonia provide information about the ot her current laws referred to in Article 684 of
the Law on Trade Companies?  (This questi on also relates to the services regime.)
Answer:
Article 684 of the Law on Trade Companies is a general provision which has the purpose of
equating a foreign company registered in Macedonia to a domestic company.  It also reiterates theusual general principle of a foreign company being required to comply with Macedonian law in the
same manner as a domestic company.
Question 19
Macedonia is requested to confirm in its accession documents that there is no state monopoly in
foreign trade and that no restrictions exist on th e rights of individuals and enterprises to import
and export goods into Macedonia, except as provid ed in WTO Agreements, that individuals and
firms can easily amend their registered scope of business to add the rights to import and export,that the criteria for registration are generally applicable and published in the Official Gazette,
and that these requirements are not applied in a non-discriminatory manner towards imports.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 6
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to the inclusion of the above statement in its accession documents.
Question 20
Macedonia is requested to make a commitment in  its accession documents that from the date of
accession it will ensure that its laws and regulatio ns  relating to the right to trade in goods and
all fees, charges or taxes levied on such righ ts will fully conform with its WTO obligations,
including Articles VIII:1(a). XI:1 and III:2 and 4 of the GATT 1994, and that it will implement
such laws and regulations in full conformity with these obligations.
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to accept the above commitment.
(b) Characteristics of national tariff
Question 21Will Macedonia submit an update on Article 24a of the Customs Law which provides for tariff
quotas on "goods that are not produced in th e Republic of Macedonia, or the production of
which does not cover the needs [of Macedonia]"?
Has this provision been eliminated in current legislation?
Answer:
Macedonia expects to repeal Article 24a of the Customs Law by June 2002.  Amendments to
the Customs Law will be submitted to the Working Party as soon as available.
Question 22
Has the new Law on Customs Tariff been enacted and is it available for review?
Answer:
Macedonia amended its Law on Customs Tariff twice during the last year.  In both cases,
changes were introduced in the customs nomenclature, as well as in the level of tariff rates.
An English translation of the Customs Tariff with the first set of changes (Official Gazette
15/01) was submitted to the WTO Secretariat and then distributed to the members as
WT/ACC/807/16 on 12 March 2001. These changes were also reflected in the last revision of thegoods offer distributed to the Working Party members as WT/ACC/SPEC/807/2/Rev.1.
The second set of changes was introduced in December 2001 (Official Gazette 104/02) and it
represents a full harmonization on six-digit level with the World Customs Organization nomenclature.
Those changes are incorporated in the latest revision of the goods offer.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 7
(d) Other duties and charges
Question 23
Can Macedonia confirm that its 1 per cent fee on imports for customs evidential services will be
abolished at the end of 2001, as indicated in the response to Question 22 of WT/ACC/807/18?
Answer:
The one per cent fee on imports for customs evidential services ceased to apply on
1 January 2002.
Question 24
Have any fees for customs services been established to replace the one per cent fee?
Answer:
According to the Regulation Governing the Amount of the Fee for Customs Services
Rendered (Official Gazette 102/2001) the new fixed fee is EURO 19 for each ten-digit tariff entry onan import customs declaration.  The fee is equivalent to the cost of the customs services rendered.
The regulation came into force on 1 January 2002.  An English translation has been submitted
to the WTO Secretariat.
Question 25
Will Macedonia provide a status report on its plans for the 0.1 per cent export promotion fee
applied to imports?
Answer:
See the answer to question 27.
Question 26
Macedonia is requested to make a commitment that from the date of accession it will impose
fees and charges for services rendered related to importation or exportation only in conformity
with Article VIII of GATT 1994.
Answer:
See the answer to Question 27.
Question 27
Macedonia is requested to make a statement that  "other duties and charges" as provided for in
Article II:1(b) of the GATT 1994 will be bound at zero in its Schedule of Commitments on
Goods.
Answer:
Macedonia states that "other duties and charges" will be bound at zero in its Schedule of
Commitments in Goods with the exception of the 0.1 per cent charge for export promotion. At theWT/ACC/807/23
Page 8
Working Party meeting on 7 December 2001 Macedonia requested a three year transition period from
the date of accession for the elimination of this charge.
(e) Quantitative import restrictions, including prohibitions, quotas and licensing systems
Question 28
What are Macedonia's plans for the eliminatio n of licensing requirements currently imposed as
"protection of domestic production" for products listed in Table 4(a) of the factual summary?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 30 below.
Question 29
Can Macedonia explain the security justificatio n for the non-automatic licensing of precious
metals and products of precious metals listed in Table 5 of the Factual Summary?
Answer:
As indicated in paragraph 78 of the Factual Summary and Title (iii) of the Explanatory Note
on Import Licensing appearing in the Annex to WT/ACC/807/18, non-automatic import licenses for
precious metals and products of precious metals ar e administered in accordance with Article XX(c) of
the GATT 1994. The security justification mentioned in Table 5 of the Factual Summary was an
unintentional error. The requested corrections will be made in the appropriate places.
(f) Import licensing procedures
Question 30
The last paragraph on page 67 of WT/ACC/807/18 states:
"Macedonia is seriously re-examining its import licensing regime in the light of all current and
future international commitments.  Pursuant to the obligations set out in the Stabilization andAssociation Agreement with the European Unio n, Macedonia has abolished all quantitative
restrictions for imports from the European Union market as of 1 June 2001.  The Government
of Macedonia plans to extend the same treatm ent to all WTO Members on MFN basis prior to
its accession to the WTO. "  
Confirm that the "quantitative restrictions" refe rred to in this paragraph include the licensing
regime operated under the Trade Law described in the attachments to WT/ACC/807/18.
Answer:
The "quantitative restrictions" mentioned in the last paragraph on page 67 of
WT/ACC/807/18 apply to products listed in Attachment 1 to the above document. Macedonia has
already commenced to abolish such restrictions by a Government Decision issued on 18 December
2001.  According to this Decision, licensing requirements were removed on 31 December 2001 for
some of the products listed in Attachment 1 while for the remaining products they will be removed on30 June 2002 and 31 December 2003 respectively.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 9
An English translation of the Decision has been submitted to the WTO Secretariat. A detailed
timetable for the abolition of licenses appears in Attachment 2.
Question 31
Clarify Macedonia's intentions concerning all li censing requirements listed in the attachments
to WT/ACC/807/18 in the context of  the WTO accession requirements.
Answer:
See the answer to Question 30 above.
Question 32
Will Macedonia submit an update on the status of revising the current licensing system vis-à-vis
imports from countries other than the European Union?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 30 above.
Question 33
Will Macedonia submit an English translation of the government decision on the abolition of the
non-automatic licenses?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 30 above.
Question 34
What are the criteria applied by the Minister of Economy when issuing non-automatic licenses
for oil derivatives?  Are they published?
Answer:
The licensing requirements, as well as the procedures for the administration of licenses for oil
derivatives, are described in the Explanatory Note on Import Licensing on page 67 of
WT/ACC/807/18.
There are no published criteria.
Question 35
Will Macedonia submit a list of all non-automatic import licenses for products falling into
Heading 27.10 of the Customs Tariff issued from January 1998 to date?
Answer:
The specificity of the question, as well as the optional nature and extent of a possible answer,
suggest that a more detailed elaboration of the question may be best achieved in bilateral discussions.
Macedonia will welcome such discussions with interested members of the Working Party.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 10
Question 36
On what basis does Macedonia justify the licence requirement for the  import of products listed
in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18?
Answer:
As already described in the Explanatory Note  on TBT in the Annex to WT/ACC/807/18, the
basis for the licensing requirement relating to the products listed in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18
is  consumer  protection.  The products in Attachment 5 are electrical appliances or machines.
Consumers, when they acquire such products, should also be able to receive the necessary installation
and user instructions, manufacturers guarantees, and repair information.  Hence, in the strict sense of
their content and character, the licenses are product licenses and not shipment importation licenses.
The licenses are issued for the respective models of the products to be placed on the market in
Macedonia.  Once issued, they are valid for an unlimited number of shipments of an unlimitedquantity of the particular product for an unlimited period of time.
To obtain a licence it is necessary to submit to the Bureau for Standardization and Metrology
samples of the manufacturer's certificate, guarantee, and instruction manual.  The licence is issued
immediately upon the receipt of such sample documents.  Fees for the licenses are payable within a
range of US$50 – US$195 depending on the complexity of the respective products and documents.
Question 37
Are the licenses for the importation of products listed in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18
automatic?
Answer:
The licenses for the products listed in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/809/18 are issued
automatically upon the receipt of the respective docume nts.  Nevertheless within the strict meaning of
the definitions in the Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures they may be regarded as non-
automatic.
Yet the licensing requirement is widely publicized. It is transparent and reasonable. The
application procedures are simple.  The procedures for the issue of the licenses are fair and equitable.The licenses are issued promptly.
Furthermore, it needs to be noted that these are product licenses and not shipment importation
licenses.  In other words they constitute a generic requirement concerning the products themselves
and not their importation.
Question 38
Are the products listed in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18 subject to mandatory technical
regulations?
Answer:
Yes, as already stated in the Explanatory Note on TBT in the Annex to WT/CC/807/18, the
licensing requirement for products listed in Attachment 5 to the above document is established by
regulation.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 11
Question 39
Are import licenses for products listed in At tachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18 issued on the basis
of the manufacturers' certificates of conformity or are they subject to other certification and
testing requirements?
Answer:
As explained in the answer to Question 36 above, the licenses are issued on the basis of
manufacturers' certificates and manuals. There are no other requirements.
Question 40
On what basis does Macedonia justify the licensing requirement for the importation of products
listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to WT/ACC/807/18?
Answer:
Macedonia offers the following justifications for the licensing requirements for products
listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to WT/ACC/807/18:
- Attachment 6 – The Administration on Plant Protection administers licenses for
registration of new pesticides prior to their initial release on the Macedonian market.
It also administers the renewal of such licenses.
- Attachment 8 – The Administration on Seeds and Seedling Materials administers
licenses for:
- Preservation of the quality of seeds, seedling materials and other reproduction
materials of plant origin in conformity with the International Seeds Testing
Association  (ISTA).
- Preservation of the identity of seeds, seedling materials and other
reproduction materials of plant origin as prescribed by the International
Organization on Post-Control Tests for the Examination of the Identity and
the Purity of Varieties within the OECD.
- Health of seeds, seedling materials and other reproduction materials of plant
origin as prescribed by the International Plant Protection Convention  (IPPC).
- Attachment 9 - The Forestry Department applies licensing requirements for the
control of  health safety of seeds and seedlings for forestry plants imported into
Macedonia.
- Attachment 10 – The Veterinary Administration administers licenses to prevent
importation of animals and products of animal origin containing contagious animal
diseases.
- Attachment 11 – The Ministry of Environment applies licensing requirements for:
- Halogen derivatives of carbon hydrate, as well as used refrigerators and
freezers – reduction and elimination of substances that damage the ozone
layer to comply with the international requirements of the Vienna Convention
and the Montreal Protocol, as amended.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 12
- Used and repaired tires, used wheels – prevention of pollution and other
environmental hazards caused by old tires due to the absence of adequate
recycling facilities and limited waste disposal capacities.
- Asbestos and products containing asbestos  – reduction in the use of asbestos
materials.
Used TV, radio and video sets, and monitors  – prevention of unsafe and dangerous products
from being used by the public, as well as reducing the risk of such products being abandoned
in public places due to the lack of recycling and waste disposal capacities.
Products protected under the following international treaties:
- Convention on Biological Diversity (Rio)
- Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn)
- Convention on the Conservation of the European Wildlife and Natural Habitats
(Bern)
- Basel Convention on the Control of Cross Bo rder Circulation of Hazard Waste and its
Disposal
- 1998 Protocol for Persistent Organic Polluters
The information contained in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to WT/ACC/807/18 has been
revised.  Updated information appears in Attachments 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 to this document.
Question 41
Are the licenses required for products listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of
WT/ACC/807/18 automatic?
Answer:
The purpose of the procedures related to the products listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9 and 10 to
WT/ACC/807/18 is the protection of human, animal an d plant life and health.  The requirements are
based entirely on scientific principles, and they utilise international standards, guidelines and
recommendations.  The licenses represent a step in the control, inspection and approval procedures.
They are issued forthwith upon the satisfactory completion of such procedures which are prompt andreasonable.  In the strict sense of the term, as it is defined in the Agreement on Import Licensing
Procedures, such procedures may be deemed non-automatic.  But are they ever automatic?
Products listed in Attachment 11 to WT/ACC/807/18 require control, inspection and approval
procedures for environmental protection reasons.  Strictly speaking they fall within the TBT
categories of conformity assessment requirements.  Within the technical sense of the term they also
may be deemed non-automatic.
Question 42
Are the products listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9 10 and 11 to WT/ACC/807/18 subject to
mandatory technical regulations?
Answer:
Yes, the licensing requirements for products listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to
WT/ACC/807/18 are established by regulation.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 13
English translations of the following relevant laws have been submitted to the Working Party:
− Law on Plant Protection (Official Gazette 25/98, 6/00);
− Law on Veterinary Health (Official Gazette 28/98);
− Law on Environment and Nature Protection and Promotion (Official Gazette 69/96,
13/99, 41/00, 51/00, 96/00);
− Law on Medicaments, Remedial Medicines and Medicine Devices (Official Gazette
21/98); and
− Law on Health Safety of Food Products and Articles for General Use (Official Gazette of
SFRY 53/91).
Question 43
Are import licenses for products listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to WT/ACC/807/18
available on the basis of manufacturers' certificates of conformity or are they subject to othercertification and testing requirements?
Answer:
The controls applicable to the products listed in Attachments 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 have as their
purposes the protection of human, animal and plant life and health, or the protection of the
environment. The documentary and other procedural requirements relating to such controls aredetermined by multilateral, regional and bilateral inte rnational agreements.  It is these agreements that
determine whether manufacturing certificates suffice for control, inspection and approval purposes.
In this respect, Macedonia follows international st andards, guidelines and recommendations.  For full
description of the licensing procedures, see the Explanatory Notes on SPS and TBT in the Annex to
WT/ACC/807/18.
Question 44
Will Macedonia explain the SPS justification fo r the import licenses for products listed in
Attachment 11 to WT/ACC/807/18.
Answer:
The reference to the SPS Agreement for products listed in Attachment 11 was made in error.
The particular requirements refer to environmental protection and have a direct bearing on the safety
of health and life, but it is true that they do not address issues arising from the entry, establishment or
spread of pests, diseases, contaminants or toxins. In view of the above question, they are being
reclassified as TBT requirements.
The changes are reflected in an amended table which is included as Attachment 9 herein.
Question 45
What are the justifications for the import licensing requirements for pharmaceuticals listed in
Attachment 12 of WT/ACC/807/18?
Answer:
Medicaments, remedial medicines and medicine devices  - To ensure that safe, harmless,
effective and properly approved medicines are placed on the Macedonian market.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 14
Narcotic substances and products thereof – To ensure control in the use of such products, and
to maintain proper records of their use.
Poisons - To ensure that products of public hygiene containing poisonous substances do not
constitute a danger to the public, and that they are properly described, labelled and classified.
Question 46
How are the import licenses for pharmaceuticals listed in Attachment 12 of WT/ACC/807/18
administered?
Answer:
Licence applications are filed prior to the importation, exportation and transit of
pharmaceuticals. Application must be submitted in writing, in Macedonian language and Cyrillic
letters on a special form that may be obtained at the Ministry of Health.  It need not be notarized.
Each application must be accompanied by th e following supporting documentation: evidence
that the respective trader is authorized to trade with pharmaceuticals, copy of the invoice and evidence
of  the payment of the administrative fee.  Administrative fee of 200 MDen is payable.
The decision is made by the Minister of Health within thirty days of the day of submission of
the application.  The applicant is informed about the decision in writing.  Appeal may be filed with
the Second Instance Committee in the Ministry of Health.
A licence is valid for a specific shipment only.
For further information, see the Explanatory Note on SPS in the Annex to WT/ACC/807/18.

Question 49
Do the new laws on SPS and TBT in preparation by Macedonia take full account of the
requirements of the WTO agreements, with a view  to the simplification and improvement of the
current system in conformity with the WTO requirements?WT/ACC/807/23
Page 15
Answer:
The relevant draft laws have been submitted to the WTO Secretariat.
Question 50
Are the import licence fees based on product unit prices (paragraph 80 of the factual summary)
consistent with Article VIII of GATT 1994, which requires such charges to be related to theapproximate cost of the services rendered and not to the value of goods?
Answer:
The amount of a licence fee is based on the product price as the best and the most convenient
measure of the complexity of document and product examination.  The lowest fee is US$50 and the
highest is US$195.  The licence is issued for a particular product. It applies to all shipments of that
product and is valid for an indefinite period of time.  The fee is consistent with Article VIII of GATT
1994.
The scale of fees is published in the Official Gazette 38/90.

WT/ACC/807/18 to incorporate the provisions of the Agreement on Rules of Origin in its legal
regime, in particular the provisions of Article 2(h) and Annex II, Paragraph 3(d) in
Macedonia's accession documents.
Answer:
Macedonia confirms the above commitment.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 17
(m) Anti-dumping regime
Question 58
Inform the Working Party on the progress in p reparing a new Law on Trade that will provide
for WTO-consistent application of anti-dumping and countervailing duties and safeguards
measures on imports, as indicated in WT/ACC/807/18.
Answer:
New legislation is being drafted.  Within a very near future, when the draft text is finalized, it
will be submitted to the Working Party for comments.
The intention is to introduce in Macedonia legislation fully consistent with the Agreement on
the Implementation of Article VI of GATT 1994, the Agreement on Safeguards and the Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. 
Question 59

Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and on Sa feguards and has notified these measures to
the WTO.
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to accept the above commitment.
2. Export Regulation
(d) Export licensing procedures
Question 60Will Macedonia provide a table listing, in one co lumn, all of the products that are subject to
export approval for strategic reasons and, in  adjacent columns, details of: (1) the specific
objective of export control in relation to the product concerned, (2) the WTO justification, and
(3) references to the relevant legal instruments?
Answer:
If by "strategic" the Working Party means security and defense, such table is included as
Attachment 11.
(f) Export financing, subsidy and promotion policies
Question 61
The Macedonian Law on Free Economic Zones includes a prohibited export subsidy (paragraph
125 of the Factual Summary).  What action does Macedonia propose to take in order to bring
the law in conformity with the WTO requirements?WT/ACC/807/23
Page 18
Answer:
At its session held on 23 January 2002, the Macedonian Parliament repealed paragraph 1 of
Article 25 of the Law on Free Economic Zones which the Working Party members deemed to create a
prohibited export subsidy. This repeal puts the free economic zones regime in compliance with the
provisions of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
The amendments were published in Official Gazette 6/01. English translation was submitted
to the WTO Secretariat.
Question 62
Macedonia's response to Question 43 of WT/ACC/807/18 is inadequate. Articles 3, 15, 16, 25
and 26 of the Law on Free Economic Zones clearl y link the right of establishment in the zone
and access to the tax exemptions and incentives provided to exporting a minimum of 51 per cent
of the value of the goods manufactured and the serv ices provided in the free zone the first year,
rising to 70 per cent by the third year and thereafter.  Tax exemptions and incentives include
exemption from tariffs and sales (VAT) taxes, from profit and property taxes for ten years, and
from normal utility charges.  Also Article 34 appears to state that normal standards and price
controls administered in the rest of Macedonia  do not apply to goods imported to or exported
from the zones.
As these exemptions and incentives are condit ioned on export performance, Macedonia's
current free economic zone regime constitutes a proh ibited subsidy within the terms of Article 3
of the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
Macedonia is requested to eliminate the subsidy element as soon as possible, and prior to its
accession to the WTO.
Answer:
See the answer to Question 55 above.
Question 63
Macedonia is requested to confirm in its accessio n documents that from the date of accession it
will not maintain subsidies, including export subsidies, which meet the definition of a prohibitedsubsidy within the meaning of Article 3 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures and that it would not introduce such prohibited subs idies in the future.
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to include the above statement in its accession documents.
Question 64
Macedonia is requested to confirm in its accession documents that any subsidy program in
existence in Macedonia after accession will be administered in accord ance with the Agreement
on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and that all necessary information on programs to
be notified, if such exist, would be provided to the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures in accordance with Article 25 of  the Agreement upon the entry into force of
Macedonia's Protocol of Accession.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 19
Answer:
Macedonia agrees to include the above statement in its accession documents.
3. Internal policies affecting foreign trade in goods Error! Bookmark not defined.
(b) Technical regulations and standards
Question 65Will Macedonia fully implement the WTO TBT Agreement from the date of accession, as
indicated in the factual summary?
Answer:
Yes.
Question 66
Will Macedonia advise on its intentions to establish arrangements for the development and
application of technical regulations and standards consistent with the relevant internationallyagreed standards, and also its intention to establish arrangements for conformity assessments?
Answer:
Yes, Macedonia intends to establish arrangements for the development and application of
technical regulations and standards consistent with the relevant internationally agreed standards.  It
also intends to make all necessary arrangements for the appropriate conformity assessments. In fact,Macedonia already substantially complies with such requirements.
Question 67
Will Macedonia explain the basis for the assess ment of the present arrangements concerning
electrical appliances (mentioned in  paragraph 80 of the factual summary)?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 36 above.
Question 68
Does Macedonia accept foreign certification/conformity assessment documents for any of the
technical regulations being applied to produc ts listed in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18?
Answer:
Yes.  For details, see the answer to Question 36 above.
Question 69
If Macedonia accepts foreign certification/conformity assessment documents for any of the
technical regulations being applied to products  listed in Attachment 5 to WT/ACC/807/18, are
the licensing requirements still applicable for th e acceptance of foreign certification/conformity
assessment documents?WT/ACC/807/23
Page 20
Answer:
The licensing requirements are fully described in the answer to Question 36 above (and in
Explanatory Note on TBT of the Annex to WT/ACC/807/18).
Question 70
Are any of the licensing requirements applie d to products listed in Attachment 5 to
WT/ACC/807/18 to ensure that the products meet certain quality standards (other than health,
safety, metrological or environmental reasons)?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 36 above.
Question 71
Macedonia is requested to confirm that the conf ormity assessment procedures will ensure the
protection of legitimate commercial interests (in accordance with TBT Articles 5.2.3 and 5.2.4).
Answer:
The current conformity assessment procedures in Macedonia are reasonable and limited in all
respects (for an in-depth description of the proce dures, see the Explanatory Note on TBT in the Annex
to WT/ACC/807/18).
In particular, Macedonia confirms that its conf ormity assessment procedures comply with the
requirements of Article 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade:
− The information requirements are limited to what is necessary to assess conformity and to
determine fees; and
− The confidentiality of information is respected in the manner required in Article 5.2.4 of
the above agreement.
Question 72
Explain more clearly the comment in the last se ntence of paragraph 108 of the factual summary
regarding current testing procedures as objectives for the improvement of quality in domestic
production.
Answer:
There is no direct textual connection between "testing procedures" and the improvement of
quality in domestic production  in the last sentence of paragraph 108 of the Factual Summary.
The sentence is compound.
What was intended to be said is that testing procedures are virtually non-existent in
Macedonia, and that their introduction is seriously hampered by the lack of resources and personnel
due to the present economic conditions of the country. There is a serious concern that goods produced
locally are qualitatively inadequate.  Since there are no testing systems in place, the best that can bedone is to convince the industry that it should introduce better or more reliable production methods.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 21
There is some hope that such an inducement may come from potential foreign customers interested to
import Macedonian goods into their countries.  There is a great need for international help.
Question 73
Will Macedonia advise on the timing of th e enactment of the proposed new legislation
mentioned in paragraph 112 of the factual summary?
Answer:
The drafts of the Law on Standardization, the Law on Metrology, the Law on Accreditation
and the Law on Technical Requirements of Products and Conformity Assessment are intended to be
enacted by April 2002.
Question 74
Macedonia is reminded that it is not sufficient to presume that standards/directives of other
countries are based on international standards or are necessarily TBT consistent, and that allacceding countries must have a system in place (as required by the Agreement) that can respond
to Members' concerns when Macedonia applies what some Members see as WTO inconsistent
standards/technical regulations.
In this regard, what is Macedonia doing to ensure that it can notify when required  to do so by
the Agreement (i.e., when will an enquiry point be set up and how will it operate  to ensureproper notification)?
Answer:
Macedonia has established an enquiry point and has notified the WTO accordingly.
The information concerning the enquiry point is as follows:
Bureau for Standardization and Metrology
Samoilova 10
1000 Skopje
Republic of Macedonia
Telephone: ++ 389 2 298-115
Fax: ++ 389 2 110-263
E-mail: zsm@zsm.gov.mk
grkov.zoran@zsm.gov.mk
Notifications will be prepared and submitted in accordance with the procedures prescribed in
the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade. The respective Macedonian officials are receiving
continuing training by invitation in other countries.
Question 75
Is there a policy that provides further guidance on  how Macedonia will respond to and take into
account comments on draft regulations (as pr ovided for in its Law on Standardization)?WT/ACC/807/23
Page 22
Answer:
In practice the Bureau for Standardization and Metrology consults the industry and business
sectors on all proposals, drafts or projects concerning the development of either standards or technical
regulations relating to goods.  In view of the size of the country this is easily accomplished.  The
Bureau for Standardization and Metrology cooperates with the industry and business sectors on aregular basis. Of course, no draft regulations are in existence currently due to the economic conditions
in the country.
(c) Sanitary and phytosanitary measures
Question 76
Will Macedonia submit the additional SPS legislat ion it is developing to ensure that it meets
WTO requirements?
Answer:
Macedonia continues to develop new legislation that is WTO consistent.  As drafts of the
legislation become available, they will be submitted to the Working Party for review.  To date,
Macedonia has submitted for comments the draft Law on Food Safety (WT/ACC/807/20).
It is, however, relevant to point out that the existing Macedonian legislation follows
international requirements and applies international standards.  It is consistent with the SPSAgreement.
Question 77
Provide a list of new SPS laws and regulations, detailing their content and providing the timing
for their enactment.  (We will not be able to  finalize our comments until we have had the
opportunity for this review.)
Answer:
No new legislation has been drafted so far.
Attachment 10 contains a list of legislation on plant protection projected to be drafted at some
time in the future.
An English translation of the draft Law on Food Safety has already been submitted to the
Working Party.
Question 78
Will Macedonia report on the work underway to establish a WTO consistent SPS regime?

Will Macedonia submit a detailed explanation of the role played by the Ministry of
Environment in the administration of its SPS measures (paragraph 114 of the factual
summary)?  What SPS measures is the Ministry of Environment responsible for administering
and what is the nature of its role?
Answer:
See the answer to Question 44.
Question 80
What is the WTO justification for the Ministry  of Environment applying SPS measures and
what is the justification for applying them to particular products?
Answer:
See the answers to Questions 40 and 44 above.
Question 81
When will an operational SPS enquiry point be established (paragraph 118 of the factual
summary) and when will the information about the enquiry point be submitted?
Answer:
As required by Article 7 and Annex B to the SPS  Agreement, two operational SPS enquiry
points have been established: one within the Ministry of Health responsible for providing information
on food safety and another within the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy
responsible for providing information on issues relevant for the health and life of animals and plants.
Information about these two bodies were submitted to the WTO Secretariat for circulation among
members.
(e) State-trading practices
Question 82
What is the relationship of Macedonia's stoc k reserves to the purchase of agricultural goods
covered by protective prices?
Answer:
The Directorate for Stock Reserves purchases surpluses of agricultural products at protective
prices pursuant to the provisions of the Law on Stock Reserves.
The Directorate for Stock Reserves purchases agricultural products at protective prices only
in cases when they have not been bought out by commercial entities and it threatens to cause serious
disturbances on the market.
The buyout is regulated by a Government decision which determines the product, the
protective price and the quantities.WT/ACC/807/23
Page 24
Question 83
Did the Directorate for Stock Reserves participate in the buyout of wheat and tobacco, noted in
the response to Question 109 of WT/ACC/807/12?
Answer:
No, the Directorate did not participate in the buyout.
Question 84
In Annex 6 to the document WT/ACC/807/5/Add.1 it is stated that the only entity in Macedonia
which is covered by the provisions of Article XVII of the GATT 1994 is the Directorate for
Stock Reserves.
We would like to know if there are other compan ies in Macedonia with exclusive trading rights
or monopolistic position in imports, particularly in the light of the information provided during
the last Working Party meeting on the internat ional agreement with a particular foreign oil-
trading company?
Answer:
The terms of the international agreement with a foreign oil-trading company do not contain
any elements falling within Article XVII of GATT 1994.
4. Policies affecting foreign trade in agricultural products
- Agricultural Production
Question 85
As Macedonia has stated that it has no export subsidies, it is requested to make a commitment
that it will not establish any export subsidies upon its accession to the WTO.
Answer:
The application of export subsidies in agriculture is subject to ongoing negotiations on
support in agriculture.  Macedonia expects this issue to be resolved on the next plurilateral meeting
planned for May 2002.

(g) Layout designs of integrated circuits
Question 96
Please describe how your legislation protects topographies.
Answer:
Article 7 of the Law on Protection of Topographies of Integrated Circuits (Official Gazette
5/98) establishes a register for topographies. Article 10 of this law states that upon registration a
topography becomes protected.  Article 12 of the same law provides that the procedure for registration
begins with the filing of an application.
Question 97
Please explain what protection your national le gislation grants to right holders against the
unlawful importation, sale or distribution for commercial purposes of topographies including
integrated circuits or other articles in which a topography is incorporat ed in accordance with
Article 36 of TRIPS.

Answer:
Pursuant to Article 16 of the Law on Protectio n of Topographies of Integrated Circuits, a
person who commercially exploits an integrated circuit incorporating the protected topography, and
who has no knowledge, or has no reasonable grounds to know that the topography of the product is
protected, is not prevented from commercially exploiting the integrated circuit.  But compensation is
payable, and its amount depends on the scope of commercial exploitation of the protected topography.
Paragraph 3 of the same Article states that the amount of such compensation can be agreed
upon by the right holder of the protected topography and the person who commercially exploits an
integrated circuit incorporating the protected topography, and who has no knowledge, or has noreasonable grounds to know that the topography of the product is protected. If no agreement is
reached, the competent court establishes the amount of compensation.
Question 99
Please state the term of protection granted by your legislation to topographies.
Answer:
Pursuant to Article 10 of the Law on Protection of Topographies of Integrated Circuits, the
exclusive right ends ten years after the earlier of the following events:
− the end of the calendar year in which the topography is first commercially exploited
anywhere in the world; and
− the end of the calendar year in which the application has been filed in Macedonia in due

Question 101
Please explain whether or not your legislation provides for a mechanism to appeal to judicial
bodies of final administrative decisions in the areas covered by TRIPS.
Answer:
According to Macedonian law all final administrative decisions may be submitted to the
Supreme Court for review in a procedure known as "administrative dispute".  The main two laws in

Page 30
submit evidence in support of their claims.  The court is also empowered to consider evidence not
presented by the parties.  According to Article 205, the court decides what evidence is to be presented.
The same requirements exist in criminal proceedings pursuant to Article 11 of the Law on
Criminal Proceedings (Official Gazette 15/97).
The draft Law on Industrial Property provides that a person whose right is infringed may ask
the court to order to the person that infringes his right to desist from further infringement, to
confiscate and destroy products produced or put on the market with the aim of infringement,  to
submit documents and data of the infringing party, and to order the publication of the court decision
which establishes the infringement.

thereto.
Also, pursuant to Article 162, Paragraph 1 of the Law on Copyright and Related Rights, the
court may, at the request of the right holder, determine provisional measures to prohibit any conduct
causing an infringement.
Question 104
Please quote what provisions of your legislation authorize judges to order the payment of the
right holder's expenses by the infringer.
Answer:
Pursuant to Article 143 of the Law on Trial Proceedings, the unsuccessful party is required to
pay the expenses of the winning party and of other parties participating in the proceeding on behalf of
the winning party.  Upon partial success of the trial, the court may decide that expenses be paid
proportionally by the parties to the dispute or that one party proportionally compensates the expensesof the other. According to Article 91 of the Law on Criminal Proceedings, if the accused is found
guilty, he is required to pay all costs of the criminal proceedings.
Question 105
