REPONSES DE L'INDE1AU QUESTIONNAIRE SUR LES
PROCEDURES DE LICENCES D'IMPORTATION
Réponse de l'INDE à la question des ÉTATS-UNIS2
La communication ci-après, datée du 15 juin 2004, est distribuée à la demande de la
délégation de l'Inde.
_______________
Question: Les États-Unis remercient l'Inde pour ses réponses au questionnaire sur les procédures de
licences d'importation (G/LIC/N/3/IND/6). Dans la notification, il est souvent question de la
"Classification tarifaire indienne (SH) des produits d'exportation et d'importation, 2002-2007"
(ITC(HS) Classifications of Export and Import Items, 2002-2007). Si ce document existe sous forme
de questions sur le site Web de la Direction générale du commerce extérieur (DGFT)
(http://dgft.delhi.nic.in/itchs2002web.htm), il ne paraît pas être disponible dans son intégralité sur le
site Web de la DGFT. En outre, bien qu'il soit indiqué à la page d'accueil (http://dgft.delhi.nic.in/)
que la ITC(HS) est disponible sur le lien "Downloads"
(http://164.100.9.245/exim/2000/download.htm), il ne semble pas que la ITC(HS) se trouve sur ce
lien. Peut-on trouver la ITC(HS) dans son intégralité quelque part sur le site Web de la DGFT? Si ce
n'est pas le cas, pourrait-elle être mise sur le site pour assurer la transparence et faciliter la tâche des
négociants?
Réponse: La Classification tarifaire indienne (SH) est en cours de mise à jour et pourra être consultée
prochainement sur le site Web de la DGFT dans son intégralité.

Preguntas formuladas por los ESTADOS UNIDOS
con respecto a la notificación de AUSTRALIA1
Se ha recibido de la Misión Permanente de lo s Estados Unidos la siguiente comunicación, de
fecha 13 de noviembre de 1998.
_______________
Pregunta 1
En su legislación Australia define el término "producto similar".  ¿Define Australia en otra
parte el término "producto directamente competidor"?  De ser así, ¿cuál es la definición?
Pregunta 2
El párrafo 1 del artículo 7 del Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias estipula que un Miembro aplicará
medidas de salvaguardia únicamente durante el período que sea necesario para prevenir o reparar el
daño grave "y facilitar el reajuste".  ¿Cómo piensa Australia cumplir la prescripción de "facilitar el
reajuste"?  ¿Se exigirá o se fomentará que las ramas de producción solicitantes presenten planes de
reajuste?
Pregunta 3
En el caso de las medidas de salvaguardia cuya duración exceda de tres años, ¿tiene Australia
la intención de realizar exámenes al promediar el período de aplicación de las mismas como se
estipula en el párrafo 4 del artículo 7 del Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias?

Addendum
The following communication, dated 21 August 2001, has been received from the
United States.
_______________
2-Propenoic Acid, Sodium Salt, Polymer with 2-Propenamide;  Tolerance  Exemption
This Environmental Protection Agency (final rule) regulation establishes an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, sodium salt, polymer with
2-propenamide (which is also known as acrylami de-sodium acrylate coplymer);  when used as an
inert ingredient (a carrier) in pesticide formulations that are applied to growing crops or raw
agricultural commodities after harvest.  The petitioner submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as ame nded by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996
(FQPA) requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.  This regulation eliminates the
need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of 2-propenoic acid, sodium salt, polymer
with 2-propenamide.
This regulation is effective 15 August 2001.  Objections and requests for hearings must be
received by EPA on or before 15 October 2001.
The full text of this addendum (final rule), in cluding instructions for submitting objections,
detailed instructions for commenting and requests for hearing, is available from the address below:
