_______________  
 
 
Question 1. 78, page s 25-26: The last sentence of the response to Philippine 's question on 
Provisions on T rade in Goods, Agriculture  is reproduced below.   
 
"Note - the text of paragraph 3.119 of the Factual Presentation is not fully accura te and should 
be revised. " 
 
Following a request for clarification from the Secretariat, the Parties have proposed a new text 
for the second sentence in the chapeau to paragraph 3.11 9 of the Factual Presentation :  
 
3.119. (….) In addition to prohibitions on export subsidies and special safeguards  
for Japan (see  described in  Sections 3.4.4  and 3.4.2.3.1   above ), these include: (…)  
 Accordingly, the Secretariat is issuing a Revision to the Factual Presentation  
(WT/REG395/1/Re v.1) with this updated text.  
 
Question 1.84 . pages 27 -28: The last sentence of the response to the Philippine's question on 
Liberaliz ation Commitments , the paragraph should be amended to read as follows:  
 
 As noted above, the Market Access obligations under Chapter 10 are cross applied to mode 3 
supply of a service in a Party's territory by a covered investment. Section 4.4 of the WTO 
Secretariat's Factual Presentation, including paragraphs 4.27 -4.37 and Table 4.3 contain a detailed 
comparis on of CPTPP Parties commitments, including in respect of mode 3, in comparison to their 
commitments under the GATS.   
 
Question 1.115, pages 38 -39: The first paragraph to the response to the question from the 
delegation of the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu  on Appendix  1 
Australia, Liberalization of Trade in Services , Table 3.1: Australia and paragraph 1.21  is 
reproduced below.  
  
"Australia appreciates the questioner identifying an error in the summary at Table 3.1 of the 
Factual Presentation. " 
 
 Following a request for clarification from the Secretariat, Australia 's CPTPP team has reviewed 
the issue and has advised that the Secretariat can revert to its original drafting.  
 
 Australia also indicate s that " Australia 's commi tments against 'Libraries, archives, museums 
and other cultural services ' are described as 'partial ' in the Factual Presentation as Australia does 
not reserve the right to adopt or maintain any measure with respect to all of the services in this 
sector. Au stralia does not list an Annex II entry at the central level of government that reserves the WT/REG395/2/Corr.1  
- 2 - 
  right to adopt or maintain any measure with respect to 'other cultural services ' or 'other cultural 
industries '. The July update of 395 -1A1 ensures that the entry for para 3.21 correctly reflects 
Australia 's level of commitment in this sector. " 
 
 Accordingly, the Secretariat is issuing a Revision to the Factual Presentation's Appendix 1 - 
Australia (WT/REG395/1/Add.1 /Rev.1 ) with an updated text. That revision will also entail a revision 
of some tables in the (general) CPTPP Factual Presentation, also to be included in its Revision 
(WT/REG395/1/Rev.1).
