NOTIFICATION UNDER PARAGRAPH 9 OF THE UNDERSTANDING ON THE
BALANCE-OF-PAYMENTS PROVISIONS OF THE GENERAL AGREEMENT ON
TARIFFS AND TRADE 1994
Communication from the Slovak Republic
The following communication, dated 3 April 2000, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the Slovak Republic.
_______________
With reference to Paragraph 9 of the Understanding on the Balance-of-Payments provisions
of GATT 1994 and Paragraph 4 of Article XII of GATT 1994, I have the honour to inform you of the
following.
The Government of the Slovak Republic by its Decree No. 118/1999 Coll. introduced an
import surcharge of 7 per cent as from 1 June 1999.  Notification of this is contained in document
WT/BOP/N/46.
The Basic Document for the consultations with the Slovak Republic in the Committee on
Balance-of-Payments Restrictions, circulated as document WT/BOP/G/9, contains detailedinformation on the reasons for the introduction as well as a timetable for phasing out of the import
surcharge.
Consultations in the Committee on Balance-of-Payments Restrictions have been held on 20
and 21 September 1999. The Report of these consultations has been circulated in documentWT/BOP/R/48.
In accordance with its commitment expressed in the timetable for phasing out of the import
surcharge, the Government of the Slovak Republic has reduced the rate of import surcharge from
7 per cent to 5 per cent as from 1 January 2000.  Notification has been circulated in documentWT/BOP/N/47.  The Government of the Slovak Republic will proceed with further reductions of the
import surcharge pursuant to the adopted timetable.
Therefore, in our view, there is no need to have BOP consultations with the Slovak Republic
as it is foreseen under paragraph 4 of Article XII of the GATT 1994.

PROTOCOL ON THE ACCESSION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ("CHINA")
Information to be Notified to the Committee on Trade-Related
Investment Measures as Required in Annex 1A to the Protocol of Accession
of the People’s Republic of China
I. INVESTMENT REGIME
(a) completed revisions to investment guidelines in conformity with the WTO Agreement
China has revised the  Guiding Industrial Catalogue for Foreign Investment in line with the WTO

requirements made effective through laws, regulations or other measures
Before accession to the WTO, China had already modified three basic laws in respect of foreign direct
investment – Law of People’s Republic of China on Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures, Law of
People’s Republic of China on Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Ventures and Law of People’s
Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises as well as their implementing rules. The revised
legislation has eliminated or ceased the implementation of provisions on foreign currency balancing,
local content, export performance requirement and mandatory technology transfer.
(b) amendments to ensure lifting of all measures applicable to motor vehicle producers restricting
the categories, types or models of vehicles permitted for production (to be completely
removed two years after accession)
According to Paragraph 205 of the Working Party Re port on the Accession of China, the category

Industry, which is in the process of revision, the measures restricting the production under each
category will be eliminated. The new Policy is now waiting for the approval from the State Council
and will be enforced as soon as the legislative procedures are completed.
(c) increased limits within which investments in motor vehicle manufacturing could be approved
at the provincial government at the levels outlined in the Report
The draft of the upcoming development policy on automobile industry is characterized by its
provisions on deregulation and transfer of approval authority to governments at provincial levels.
After the issuance of the new Policy, the invest limits on auto manufacturing that could be approved
at provincial level will be increased as required in the Working Party Report.

Importation of Cooked Meat and Meat Products:
The USDA-APHIS is adopting as a final rule, without change, the regulations governing the
importation of certain animals, meat, and other anim al products to allow meat cooked in plastic in

Replies to Questions Posed by AUSTRALIA1
Regarding the New and Full Notification of THAILAND2
The following communication has been received on 8 May 2003 from the Permanent Mission
of Thailand.
_______________
Packing Credit Facility and Direct Packing Credit Facility
Q. Are all exporters and export-oriented manu facturers eligible to apply for Packing
Credit line at commercial banks?
Q. What are the conditions attached to th e granting of loans by commercial banks?
Q. Given that this programme appears to have been aimed at alleviating the credit crunch
in export financing experienced in early 1998, does Thailand have any plans to phase out this
programme?
Reply
Thailand is pleased to inform Australia and the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures that the Packing Credit Facility and Direct Packing Credit Facility programmes wereterminated at the end of 2002 in accordance with Thailand's obligations under the Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
Export Market Diversification Promotion Programme
Q. Since there was no determination by the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures in 2002 that Thailand’s request for an extension for the Export Market
Diversification Promotion Programme under Article 27.4 of the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures was justified, Thailand is required to phase out this programme by
31 December 2004.  Thailand advised in G/SCM/N/71/THA/Suppl.1 that this programme wouldbe terminated on 31 December 2003.  Could Thaila nd confirm that the termination date for the
programme remains 31 December 2003?

Questions from JAPAN Regarding the
Updating Notification of INDONESIA1
The following communication, dated 21 April 1998, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Japan.
_______________
Q.1. The status of the Presidential Instruction No. 2/1996
The Presidential Decree No. 20/1988, while revoking the Presidential Decree No. 42/1996
that dealt with overseas produced National Cars, stipulates in its Article 2 that "the Presidential
Instruction No. 2/1996 ... is obsolete."  Please explain the difference between "obsolete" and
"revoked".  Please also explain why the revocati on of the Presidential Decree No. 42/1996 would
automatically cause the situation where the Presidential Instruction No. 2/1996 is "obsolete".
Q.2. The termination of the benefits for PT Timor
(i) The treatment of automobiles imported under the June 1996 Programme
Please explain whether PT Timor will be required to pay customs import duties and
luxury sales taxes for the Korean made "Timors" that have arrived in Indonesia but
not yet passed through the customs, when they go through custom clearance.  As faras Japan knows, Indonesia's position on this issue has not been consistent, and Japan
would like to confirm the final answer.
If PT Timor will not be required to pay customs duties and luxury sales taxes for such
automobiles, please explain the legal basis on which such a treatment is allowed,
despite the fact that the Presidential Decree No. 42/1996 has been already revoked.
(ii) The treatment of automobiles produced under the February 1996 Programme
Please explain whether automobiles already assembled in Indonesia under the
February Programme will be given import duty and luxury tax exemptions.
                                                     
1 G/SCM/N/16/IDN/Suppl.1.G/SCM/Q2/IDN/10
Page 2
If the answer is yes, please explain the legal basis on which such a treatment is
allowed, despite the fact that the Presidential Instruction No. 2/1996 has been
declared obsolete.
(iii) The effects on the benefits already given to PT Timor
Japan understands that PT Timor failed to meet the requirement under the June 1996
Programme and the first year requirements under the February 1996 Programme.Please explain whether the Indonesian Government will request PT Timor to return
the benefits already given to it.

REPLIES TO THE SURVEY
Communication from Malaysia
The following communication, dated 30 October 1998, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Malaysia.
_______________
With respect to the survey on standards-related matters for information technology products
(G/IT/4), enclosed herewith is Malaysia's response to the three questions.G/IT/SPEC/Q1/22
Page 2
Response to Survey with Respect to Standards-Related Matters for
Information Technology Products
1. Does your government have mandatory techni cal regulations to ensure the safety of
Information Technology equipment?  If so, plea se identify.  Are thes e requirements harmonized
with IEC 950?  If not, please explain the current practice.
 Currently, there is no mandatory technical regulation to ensure the safety of information
technology equipment.  A self declaration of compliance to IEC 950 or its equivalent is accepted.
2. Does your government have mandatory technical regulations relating to electromagnetic
interference for Information Technology equipm ent?  If so, please identify.  Are these
requirements harmonized with CISPR 22?  If not, please explain the current practice. 
Presently, there is no mandatory technical regulation related to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) for information technology equipment. A draft Malaysian standard for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC)/EMI is being prepared.  This is based on the IEC and CISPR standards.
3. What conformity assessment procedures, either in respect of the product or the
manufacturing process, does your government require for approval of information technologyproducts (including electromagnetic compatibilit y (EMC), electrical safety, telecommunications
and radio terminal equipment, and other areas)?
IT equipment must comply with the Department of Telecommunications (JTM) technical
requirements for both wired and wireless products.  These are based on the ITU-T and ITU-Rrecommendations.  Radio products are also based on the Canadian standards.
Application for type approval must be done by  a locally registered company. Most of the
testing is done by JTM.  In cases where testing is not carried out, approval will be given based on
paper evaluation and declaration of conformity.  All applications for type approval must include a
certified test report of the product, together with a certificate of origin.
