Re:  Notification by the Czech Republic of the Stage 3 of Integration – Addendum
Dear Mr. Chairman,
In response to your letter dated 1 February 2001 requesting certain clarifications with respect
to the notification by the Czech Republic of its third stage of integration, I have the honour to submit
the following explanations.
With regard to the HS lines ex 4202.22, ex 4202.32 and ex 4202.92, I am instructed to
reconfirm that the 1993 imports counted in respect of these ex-HS lines correspond precisely to the
product description as contained in the ATC Annex.   These imports fall under 8-digit Combined
Nomenclature CN codes 4202.22.90, 4202.32.90, 4202.32.91 and 4202.32.98.  The same goes for the
HS item ex 9612.10 imports of which fall under 8-digit CN code 9612.10.10.
As to other six ex-HS lines mentioned by your letter, namely ex 3921.12, ex 3921.13,
ex 3921.90, ex 4202.12, ex 7019.10 and ex 7019.20, I am informed that it would be difficult to
determine the exact import volumes of these products as defined in the ATC, the reason being the
absence of relevant statistical data.  In the light of this, my authorities decided to withdraw these
items, which account for 3.615 per cent of the 1993 imports, from the previously submitted
notification and replace them by the following two lines in the first group ("Tops and Yarns"), whichaccount for 3.977 per cent of total volume of imports:
HS No. Product Description Tonnes %
5402.41 Yarn of nylon or other polyamides fil, single untwisted,
nes, not put up4,323.62 3.295
5403.32 Yarn of viscose rayon filaments, single, >120 turns per
m, nes, not put up894.51 0.682
New sub-total for "Tops and Yarns" should read: 13,595.81 10.362
New sub-total for "Fabrics" should read: 2,482.55 1.893New sub-total for "Made-up Textiles" should read: 2,773.48 2.112
New "Total Integrated" should read: 24,127.55 18.389G/TMB/N/374/Add.1

Dear Mr. Chairman, I am confident that the Textiles Monitoring Body will find these
clarifications and changes satisfactory.
Yours sincerely,

1996 CHANGES IN THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM
Submission of Documentation
Schedule XXI - Indonesia
Corrigendum
The following communication, dated 21 April 1998, has been r eceived from the Permanent
Mission of Indonesia.
___________
This is to inform you that Indonesia would like to make some co rrections to errors in Indonesia s
introduction of HS96 changes into its WTO Schedule of tariff concessions, as follows:
1. Bound rate of 40 per cent should be added to tariff lines 010 2.90.900 and 3301.29.990.
2. Bound rate for tariff line 4010.29.000 should be correcte d. Instead of 40 per cent
the bound rate should be 30 per cent.
3. Tariff line 8528.20.200 should be included into "Exclusi on List".
I believe that these corrections could also answer the quest ions raised by the Philippines and
United States on our schedule of tariff concessions in HS96.

Sir,
With reference toyournoteTMB/100, asking usforfurther details concerning percentages
andtheclassification thereof, Iwishtoinform youthatuntilFebruary 1993 ourforeign trade was
classified using theCentral American Tariff Nomenclature (NAUCA). Forthepurposes offulfilling
thecommitment ofintegrating textiles intotheWTO framework, thissystem hadtobeconverted to
thecorresponding classification oftheCentral American Tariff System (SAC), which isthesame as
theclassification usedworldwide.
Asfortheintegration ofItem42.02.92.00, wehavereviewed ouroriginals andfound that
thiswasaninvoluntary errorwhich wehavenowcorrected. Thecorrect itemis52.07.90.00 -OTHER

Question
CanVenezuela explain whyitconsiders thattheexport scheme fortheautomotive industry

TheprovisionsofArticle3.1,subparagraph(a)oftheAgreementonSubsidiesandCountervailing

whether solely orasoneofseveral otherconditions, uponexport performance, including thoseillustrated
inAnnex I".
Accordingly, itisimportant topoint out,firstofall,thatthepolicy fordevelopment ofthe
automotive industry inVenezuela doesnotconstitute anexport scheme initself. Similarly, itmust
beemphasized thattheabove-mentioned policy isgoverned bytheAndean Group 'sComplementarity
Agreement fortheautomotive sector, which wasdevised asameans ofincreasing thecompetitiveness
andefficiency oftheregional automotive industry.
Secondly, although Resolution No.001containing theregulations governing Venezuelan
automotive policy stipulates thattheadded value ofexports, measured asanf.o.b. value, ispartof
theformula formeasuring thepercentage ofsubregional purchases, wemustpointoutthatconsideration
ofthepercentage ofadded value inexports isoptional, thatistosaythatinnocaseisitbinding on

within themeaning oftheaforementioned subparagraph (a).
Inaddition, itisextremely important topoint outthatthisvariable hasaccounted fora

Thailand – Schedule  LXXIX
Draft Waiver Decision

Considering  that the Members of the WTO, by their Decisions of 13 December 1995,

suspended the application of the provisions of Article II of GATT 1994 until 30 April 2003, for the
purpose of enabling the Members listed in the Annexes to implement the recommended amendmentsto the Harmonized System nomenclature;
Considering  that by their Decision of 8 May 2001, Members of the WTO also agreed that it
would be the last time an extension of HS96 waiver would be granted on a collective basis, but that
this would not, however, preclude Members fr om requesting waivers on an individual basis;
Noting  that Thailand has requested a waiver for reasons explained in its request
2;
Considering  that Thailand has responded to questions raised by two Members;
Acting  pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement;
Decides , in view of the exceptional circumstances, to suspend the application of the
provisions of Article II of GATT, until 31 October 2003, for the purpose of enabling Thailand to
implement the recommended amendments to the Ha rmonized System nomenclature, subject to the
following conditions:
(i) Thailand shall, where necessary, promptly enter into negotiations and consultations
with interested Members pursuant to paragraphs 1-3 of Article XXVIII of
GATT 1994;
(ii) the negotiations and consultations mentioned above shall be completed not later than
30 April 2004;

Dans le document G/LIC/N/1/OM N/1, daté du 20 février 2001, l'Oman a notifié la Décision
ministérielle n° 71/2000 sur les procédures de licences d'importation.  Il s'agit de la première
notification de l'Oman au Comité depuis son accession à l'OMC en novembre 2000.
- Nous notons que l'Oman n'a pas présenté de réponses au questionnaire sur les licences
d'importation.  Cela signifie-t-il que l'Oman n'applique pas de restrictions en matière de
licences d'importation?
- L'Oman réglemente-t-il l'importation de produits ayant des incidences sur la santé et la
sécurité tels que les explosifs, les armes et les stupéfiants?  L'importation de ces produitsest-elle régie par un système d'autorisations préalables?  Dans l'affirmative, nous suggérons
que l'Oman fournisse des réponses au questionnaire pour ces produits.
