Committee on Import Licensing Original:  Spanish
NOTIFICATIONS BY VENEZUELA ON IMPORT LICENSING PROCEDURES
(G/LIC/N/2/VEN/3 AND G/LIC/N/2/VEN/4)
Replies by Venezuela to Questions from the United States1
Question No. 1:  While Venezuela has previously notified import licensing for some agricultural
products, those submissions appear to be incomplete.  They do not include current import licensing
requirements for corn, soybean meal and yellow grease.
The current import licensing requirements for maize (corn) were included in notification
No. G/LIC/N/3/VE N/1 of 27.05.02.  Later, in a note addressed to the Central Registry of Notifications
dated 07.10.02, Venezuela submitted a corrigendum to the above-mentioned notification, correcting:
• The number of the Official Gazette establishing tariff quotas on maize and sorghum
and
• The number of the Official Gazette in which the Customs Tariff is amended, by
adding legal regime No. 2 required for the importation of both products.
Venezuela has also notified, in document No. G/LIC/N/1/VEN/1 dated 25.10.02, the legal
basis of import licensing for maize and sorghum (among other products).  Copies of the
corresponding Official Gazettes may be c onsulted in the WTO's Market Access Division.
Venezuela administers the quota corresponding to soya cake (2304) which covers coarse
soya-bean flour.  This regime was duly notified both in the Committee on Agriculture
(G/AG/N/VEN/22 of 22.02.02) and in the Committee on Import Licensing (G/LIC/N/3/VEN/1 of
27.05.02 and G/LIC/N/2/VE N/3 of 12.03.02).  However, it is important to note that no quota is
administered for heading 1208.10.00 corresponding to more or less fine soya-bean flour.
Venezuela maintains import licensing requirements for yellow grease (tariff heading
1518.00.90 in the tariff classification of the Andean Community (CAN) Secretar iat), as indicated in
the notifications to both the CoA (G/AG/N/VEN/22 of 22.02.02) and the Committee on Import
Licensing (G/LIC/N/3/VEN/1 of 27.05.02  and G/LIC/N/2/VEN/3 of 12.03.02).
Question No. 2:  Notifications G/LIC/N/2/VEN/3 and 4 do not indicate that licensing … is non-
automatic, "despite the fact that licences are currently being denied".
(a) Reply relating to notification No. G/LIC/N/2/VEN/3:
On the first page of notification G/LIC/N/2/ VEN/3, reproducing the communication from the
Mission to the Central Registry of Notifications, it is stated (paragraph 2) that:
                                                     
1 G/LIC/Q/VEN/3.G/LIC/Q/VEN/4
Page 2
(…) "I have the honour to notify herewith, under Article 5.2 of the Agreement on Import
Licensing Procedures, that a non-automatic licensing regime  has been instituted to
administer tariff quotas for a series of agricu ltural items, in accordance with Venezuela's
Schedule of Commitments." (Emphasis added)
Likewise, on page 2 of the notification it is expressly stated that "the import licensing
procedure is non-automatic"  (emphasis added)
Furthermore, it is important to note that, in accordance with document
G/LIC/N/3/VEN/1/Corr 2, in  administering tariff quotas for a series of agricultural items,
"applications are processed in a period of approximately 60 working days beginning on the day
following the closing date of th e  announced application period" , in accordance with Article 3 of the
Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures relating  precisely to non-automatic import licensing.
(b) Reply relating to notification No. G/LIC/N/2/VEN/4:
On the first page of notification G/LIC/N/2/ VEN/4, reproducing the communication from the
Mission to the Central Registry of Notifications, it is stated (paragraph 2) that:
 "I have the honour to notify herewith (…) the establishment of non-automatic import
licences  for scraps from the clothing industry." (Emphasis added)
It is also important to note that item 5 (page 2) is entitled "Indication of the measure being
implemented through the non-automatic  import licensing procedure." (Emphasis added)
(c) Reply concerning the issuance of licences
As will be appreciated from Annex I of this communication, licences have in fact been
granted.
Question No. 3:  Problems repo rted to my authorities include delays in issuance, reduction in
allowable quantities, requirements to prove that domestic products have also been purchased,
and the addition of new SPS requirements.
The delays in issuing import licences for products subject to tariff quota procedures have been
due to various legal and administrative difficulties.  In particular, certain institutional changes have
been introduced, including the separation of the Department of Agriculture and Food from the
Ministry of Production and Trade to create a new Ministry of Agriculture and Land.  The Regulations
establishing the new Ministry entered into force in March 2002, and, subsequently it also became
necessary for the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic to approve a resolution dispellingcertain confusion with respect to the jurisdiction and mandate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Land
and providing a clearly defined legal basis for the measures adopted by the Ministry in connection
with the issuance of import licences.
With regard to the reduction in allowable quantiti es, this is largely due to the restructuring of
the domestic market for agricultural products in compliance with Article 305 of the Constitution,
mainly to achieve the objective of food security, since it is intended to recover the share of the
domestic market acquired by subsidized imports for domestic production.
Question No. 4:  Issuance of import licences for yellow maize (corn) has come to
practically a complete standstill since a September 2001 announcement by the Ministry ofG/LIC/Q/VEN/4
Page 3
Agriculture that no import licences would be i ssued until all domestically produced corn had
been marketed.
As may be seen from Annex II (summary table containing information on yellow maize
(corn) quotas allocated since September 2001), Venezuela is filling the quota and, despite delays inissuing licences the quota amount has been exceeded every year, including this year.
Question No. 5:  What are th e policies on issuing import licences for grapes and what is
the legal basis?
Grape imports have not been made subject to any import licensing regime.
Question No. 6 and related questions:  Venezuela has failed to provide initial
information on its import licensing requirements to Committee Members in the form of a
response to the Import Licensing Questionnaire.  Of  particular interest would be:
• The Venezuelan government agencies in volved in administration of import
licensing requirements for the above-mentioned products.
• The legal authority under Vene zuelan law for such actions.
• Venezuela provided information on its import licensing requirements in the form of
replies to the questionnaire in notification G/LIC/N/3/VEN/1 of 27.05.02.
The following are involved in issuing licences for agricultural products:
• The Directorate-General of Agricultural Marketing of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Land issues licences (see notification G/LIC/N/3/VEN/1 of 27.05.02, (page 1) and
• The Inter-Ministerial Committee (Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Production and
Trade and Ministry of Agriculture and Land) considers the issuing of licences based
on an analysis submitted by a technical committee formed by the Directorate-Generalof Marketing of the MAT, the Administration of Trade Directorate of the MPC or the
SME Directorate of the MPC, depending on the nature of the request (see notification
G/AG/N/VEN/22 of 22.02.02).
• The legal basis for these measures is set out in both notification G/LIC/N/3/VEN/1 of
27.05.02 and notification G/LIC/N/1/VEN/1 of 25.10.02.
Question No. 7:  We are in terested in any quantitative limitations on the amount of
imports allowed with a single import licence.
There is no quantitative limitation and the amounts allowed under each licence are a product
of the relationship between the amount of the quota being allocated at that moment and the number of
applicants and the amounts requested.G/LIC/Q/VEN/4
Page 4
Question No. 8:  We would like to know the number of import licences granted, the
number rejected, and the quantity of product imported for the above-mentioned products, as
well as products previously notified to the Committee, by supplying country, over the last
24 months.
A table containing the information requested is attached (Annex I).  It indicates the product,
countries of origin the quota amount allocated and the number of import licences issued.G/LIC/Q/VEN/4
