In G/LIC/N/2/ROM/ 3, Romania provided a list of products now subject to automatic

Romania’s responses to the Import Licensing Questio nnaire.  No other information was given on the

Is this a new system, or does Romania’s previous documentation cover it?Is automatic licensing the only means available to gain the required information for statistical

WTO launches live broadcast to Latin America
The WTO Secretariat, in collaboration with Mexico's Monterrey Institute of Technology and
Higher Studies, has launched a cycle of videoconferences broadcast live by satellite from Geneva to
university centres in Latin America. Each videoconference features a WTO expert who will speak on
trade subjects such as trade in services and dispute settlement, followed by a question-and-answer
session.
WTO Director-General Mike Moore said the project highlights "our efforts to reach out to the
public using every accessible modern technology, including the Internet". He noted that the
organization is already keeping trade communities, es pecially in least-developed countries, up-to-date
on WTO activities through its website (www.wto.org) and electronic mail.
The WTO videoconference cycle uses the Monterrey Institute's Virtual University Network,
which has local centres in leading academic institutions in Latin America, including in Mexico, Chile,Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Panama, Peru, El Salvador and Venezuela.
WTO Deputy Director-General Miguel Rodrig uez opened the videoconference cycle on 30
August 2000. This inaugural broadcast, on "Basic Principles and General Overview of the WTO", was
followed by more than 500 students, businessmen and trade officials in Mexico alone. It was alsobroadcast to other Latin American countries.
The next WTO videoconference will be held on 20 September 2000 with focus on trade in
goods, including the WTO agreements on agriculture and on textiles. Other WTO subjects to be
featured through 22 November 2000 are dispute settlement, trade in services, trade and environmentand trade-related aspects of intellectual property.
The videoconferences take place on selected Wednesdays from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Mexico time
(5:00-6:30 p.m. Geneva time). The full programme is available on the website
(http://www.ruv. itesm.mx/programas/uve) of the Monterrey Institute (Instituto Tecnológico y de
Estudios Superiores de Monterrey or ITESM).

Excmo. Embajador Szepesi:
De conformidad con el párrafo 15 del artículo 2 del Acuerdo sobre los Textiles y el Vestido
(ATV), tengo el honor de informarle de que, con efecto a partir del 1º de enero de 1998, el Canadá
aplica un régimen fuera de contingente a las importaciones de los productos siguientes:  blusas y
camisas para niños o niñas, de las categorías 7.3 y 8.1;  blusas y camisas para mujeres y niñas, de la
categoría 8.1;  blusas y camisas de seda para mujeres y niñas;  blusas y camisas para mujeres y niñas,
de la partida arancelaria 6206.90.00.00;  sarís de la categoría 4.3;  conjuntos para mujeres y niñas, dela categoría 4.1;  conjuntos para la nieve, abrigos y chaquetas, para bebés, de la categoría 14.1;  y
prendas impermeables de la categoría 1.3.  El régimen fuera de contingente es aplicable a las
importaciones de cualquier procedencia.  Por consiguiente, en lo sucesivo la importación al Canadá de
los productos mencionados supra  no estará supeditada a la obtención de licencias de exportación.
Por el momento el Gobierno del Canadá no tiene la intención de integrar estos productos en el
sistema normativo de la OMC.  Además, para fines de control y vigilancia, estos productos seguirán
sujetos a las prescripciones canadienses en materia de permisos de importación.
Las autoridades de mi país desean informarle asimismo de que la restricción aplicable a los
países Miembros de la OMC en 1998 con respecto a las prendas de vestir exteriores para el invierno
incluidas en la categoría 2.0 se ha aumentado en un 10 por ciento, con efecto a partir del 1º de enerode 1998.  Este aumento, permanente y extraordinario, se aplicó después del ajuste a la restricción
establecida para 1997, de conformidad con las disposiciones de crecimiento previstas en el ATV,
incluido el párrafo 14 del artículo 2.  En los años subsiguientes las disposiciones de crecimiento
del ATV se aplicarán sobre la base del mencionado aumento de la restricción aplicable en 1998.
Atentamente,

REQUEST FOR WAIVER FROM THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI CONCERNING
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE VII OF THE GENERAL
AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE 1994
Revision
The Secretariat has received the following communication, dated 22 March 2001, from the
Permanent Mission of Haiti.
_______________
The General Customs Administration wishes to see the Government of Haiti request the
World Trade Organization for a further three-year extension, starting on 31 January 2001, for theapplication of the new Customs Valuation Agreement.
The provisions of Annex III.1 of the Agreement allow developing countries which are still
having difficulty implementing the agreement at the en d of the initial five (5) year delay, to have the
option of obtaining a further extension.
This step has been taken by the General Customs Administration for two main reasons:1. The draft Customs Code, containing the legal provisions for the application of the
Agreement, has yet to be put to a vote in Parliament;
2. whereas the Agreement recommends post clearance import control, this would be
difficult to apply at the present time given the predominance of the informal sector in
the Haitian economy.  Even in the formal sector, economic operators easily manage
to avoid their tax obligations by regularly changing their business name.
It is proposed that a committee composed of representatives from the relevant administrations
and ministries as well as the private sector, should be established and given the task of preparing
recommendations with a view to ensuring that the application of the Agreement takes place in the best
possible circumstances.
