2. That the first paragraph of Item (k) of Annex I to the  SCM Agreement  cannot be used to
establish that PROEX interest equalization payments for aircraft are permitted.

Item (k) of Annex I to the  SCM Agreement .
4. That PROEX payments are used to secure a material advantage in the field of export credit
terms within the meaning of the first para graph of item (k) of Annex I to the  SCM

Settlement Body do not exist or are not consistent with the  SCM Agreement , and that Brazil

SITUATION REGARDING WORK IN THE COMMITTEE ON
REGIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS
Communication from Australia, Indi a, Japan, Korea, New Zealand,
Pakistan and Hong Kong, China
The following communication addressed to the Chairman of the General Council and dated
26 January 2001, has been received from the delegations of Australia, India, Japan, Korea, New
Zealand, Pakistan and Hong Kong, China with the request it be circulated to Members.
_______________
1. At its regular December 2000 meeting, the General Council received the annual report of the
Committee on Regional Trade Agreements.  This report was usefully supplemented by the Committee
Chair’s statement of introduction, which set out his assessment of the serious situation facing the
Committee in respect to the two key aspects of the Committee’s mandate: namely, the examination of
individual Regional Trade Agreements and systemic issues.
2. During the ensuing General Council discussion a number of concerns were expressed by
Members about the situation faced in the Committ ee.  The importance of the Committee progressing
its work was emphasized.
3. Although time was not available at the December meeting for a full exploration of the views
of Members, the Chair of the Committee indicated that he would be consulting further with Members
on ways to progress matters under the Committee’s mandate.
4. Against this background, we believe it would be useful for the General Council at its
8 February 2001 meeting to further discuss this situation.
5. Accordingly, we therefore would like to propose the above item for inclusion on the
provisional agenda of the 8 February 2001 General Council meeting.

The following communication, dated 5 November 2003, has been received from the
Permanent Mission of the United States.
_______________
The United States appreciates the information provided in the notification from Papua New
Guinea.  However, paragraph 1(d) of G/SCM/39 provides that the extensions granted by the SCM
Committee pursuant to its procedures shall be subjec t to annual review in the form of consultations
between the Committee and Members receiving the extensions.  The annual reviews shall be
conducted on the basis of updating notifications from the Members in question.  Paragraph 3(a) of
G/SCM/39 provides that the updating notifications referred to in 1(d) shall follow the agreed format
for subsidy notifications under SCM Article 25 (found in G/SCM/6) .  (Italics added.)
It does not appear that the Committee can undertake its annual review of the extension,
pursuant to the procedures, until a properly formatted notification is received from Papua New
Guinea.  We note that the SCM Committee, at its October 2003 meeting, approved some
modifications to the agreed format for subsidy notifications under SCM Article 25, which may
facilitate preparation of this document.
• Please provide an Article 25 notification in the appropriate format for consideration
pursuant to the procedures set out in G/SCM/39.
