REPORT (2003) OF THE COMMITTEE ON IMPORT LICENSING
TO THE COUNCIL FOR TRADE IN GOODS
1. The Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures (hereinafter "the Agreement") which entered
into force on 1 January 1995, establishes disciplines on users of import licensing systems with the
principal objective of ensuring that the procedures applied for granting import licences do not inthemselves restrict trade.  It aims to simplify, clarify and minimize the administrative requirements
necessary to obtain import licences.
2. The Committee on Import Licensing was established to afford Members the opportunity of
consulting on any matters relating to the operation of the Agreement or the furtherance of its
objectives.  The Committee's Rules of Procedure, which were approved by the Council for Trade inGoods, are contained in document G/L/147.
3. All Members of the WTO are ipso facto  members of the Committee.  Observer governments
in the General Council of the WTO have Observer status in the Committee. The International
Monetary Fund, the World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer status in the Committee.
4. The focus of this report is on the period since the Committee's last annual report (G/L/573
1),
i.e. 25 September 2002-2 October 2003 (hereinafter "the review period").  During the review period,
the Committee held two meetings on 8 May and 2 October 2003 (G/LIC/M/17 and G/LIC/M/18).  At
its meeting on 8 May 2003, the Committee took note of the nomination of Miss Philippa Davies
(Jamaica) as Chairperson of the Committee for the current year and elected her by acclamation.  At
that meeting, the Committee elected as Vice-Chairperson for the current year, Mr. Lucien Mazzega
(France).  Pursuant to Committee's Rules of Procedure, they took office at the end of that meeting.
5. Pursuant to Articles 1.4(a) and/or 8.2(b) of the Agreement and procedures agreed by the
Committee, all Members are required to notify their laws, regulations and administrative procedures
relevant to import licensing and submit copies of any relevant publications or laws and regulations
upon becoming a WTO Member.  Any subsequent changes to these laws, regulations and
administrative procedures are also required to be notified.  Since the entry into force of the WTO
Agreement, 94 Members2 have notified the Committee of their legislation and/or publications under
these provisions.  During the review period, the Committee received notifications from the following
Members:  Armenia;  China;  Croatia;  Ecuador;  European Communities;  Hong Kong, China;  India;
Jordan;  Kenya;  Lithuania;  Macao, China;  Morocco;  Namibia;  Paraguay;  Saint Lucia;  Senegal;
Sri Lanka;  Chinese Taipei;  Togo;  Turkey;  the United Sates;  Venezuela;  and Zambia.  These
notifications may be found in document series G/LIC/N/1/-.
                                                     
1 In line with the decision taken by the General Council in February 2003 to submit to the Fifth
Ministerial Conference a brief update to its annual report for 2002, the Committee submitted its updated reportto the Council for Trade in Goods, concerning developments up to 8 May 2003, in document G/L/573/Add.1.

6. Article 7.3 of the Agreement requires all Members to provide replies to the Questionnaire on
Import Licensing Procedures3 by 30 September each year.  Since the entry into force of the WTO
Agreement, 92 Members4 have made notifications under this provision.  This includes replies to the
Questionnaire from 11 Members in 1995,  22 Members in 1996, 25 Members4 in 1997, 26 Members
in 1998, 20 Members4 in 1999, 32 Members4 in 2000, 23 Members4 in 2001, 41 Members4 in 2002
and 23 Members in 2003.  During the review period, the Committee received notifications from thefollowing Members:  Brazil;  China;  Croatia;  Czech Republic;  Dominican Republic;  Ecuador;
Estonia;  European Communities;  Guyana;  Hong Kong, China;  Indonesia;  Japan;  Kenya;
Liechtenstein;  Lithuania;  Macao, China;  Malawi;  Mongolia;  Morocco;  Namibia;  Oman;
Philippines;  Poland;  Saint Lucia;  Senegal;  Sri Lanka;  Switzerland;  Chinese Taipei;  Togo;
Tunisia;  Turkey;  Uruguay;  Venezuela;  and Zambia.  These notifications may be found in document
series G/LIC/N/3/-.
7. The Committee also received, pursuant to paragraphs 5.1-5.4 of Article 5, notifications
relating to the institution of new import licensing procedures or changes in these procedures from
India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Chinese Taipei, United States and Venezuela.  These
notifications may be found in document series G/LIC/ N/2/-.  Since the entry into force of the WTO
Agreement 28 Members
4 have submitted notifications under these provisions.  Article 5.5 of the
Agreement allows Members to submit reverse notifications, where a Member considers that anotherMember has not notified the institution of a licensing procedure or changes in the procedures.
However, no such reverse notifications have been received under this provision since the entry into
force of the Agreement.
8. Written comments and questions from Members concerning the notifications submitted to the
Committee by other Members, and replies theret o, may be found in document series G/LIC/Q/-
5.
During the review period, the Committee heard concerns regarding certain import licensing
procedures applicable in Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, the European Communities, Indonesia,
Romania and Turkey;  and the absence of or delays in notifications relating to import licensing
regimes maintained by the Dominican Republic6 and Mexico.  Written comments and questions
concerning import licensing procedures maintained by Members and/or the notifications submitted tothe Committee (from Chinese Taipei, the European Communities, Japan and the United States to
China;  from Australia and the United States to Indonesia;  and from the United States to Brazil) and
answers (from Ecuador, the European Communities, Haiti, Indonesia, Turkey, Uruguay and
Venezuela to the United States) have been circulated in document series G/LIC/Q/-.  Statements of
Members in this context, including responses given orally at the meetings, are reflected in the minutesof the meetings.
9. The Committee has provided a regular forum for the discussion of specific notifications
submitted by Members.  As evident in the Annex to this report, there continues to be a low level of
compliance with the mandatory notification requirements under Articles 1.4(a), 8.2(b) and 7.3 and
with the ad hoc notification requirement under Article 5.  This low level of compliance of Members
with the transparency obligations of the Agr eement has been the main preoccupation of the
Committee for some time now.
10. At its meetings of 8 May and 2 October, the Chair expressed continuing concern over the
failure of many Members to submit the required notifications, and informed the Committee of the
steps taken by the Chairperson and the Secretariat with a view to improving the situation.  These
                                                     
3 Annexed to document G/LIC/3.
4 In this report, the EC is counted as one Member.
5 See understanding on Procedures for the Review of Notifications (G/LIC/4).
6 A notification submitted subsequently by the Dominican Republic under Article 7.3 has been
circulated in document G/LIC/N/3/DOM/1.G/L/652
Page 3
included reminders to those Members who had never made any notifications of legislation, never
provided replies to the Questionnaire or who had not updated their replies to the Questionnaire in the
recent years;  as well as reminders to delegations of the pending replies to questions posed by some
Members, circulated in the G/LIC/Q/- series, relating to their notifications.  The Committee noted that
despite these efforts, 27 Members have not, as yet,  made any notification under the Agreement, nor
have they informed the Secretariat of any difficulties  in notifying, or of any technical assistance needs
to improve their compliance.  The Chair urged Members who had not yet notified and had not updated
their notifications to submit the required notifications as soon as possible.
11. At its meeting of 2 October, the Committee conducted the second transitional review, as
appropriate to its mandate, of the implementation by China of the WTO Agreement and of the related
provisions of its Protocol of Accession7, as provided for in Section 18 of the Protocol of Accession of
the People's Republic of China to the WTO (G/LIC/M/18, paragraphs 3.1-3.36).  Comments andquestions from Chinese Taipei, the European Communities, Japan and the United States to China
relating to its import licensing system were circulated, in advance of this review, in documents
G/LIC/Q/CHN/4, G/LIC/Q/CHN/5, G/LIC/Q/CHN/6, G/LIC/Q/CHN/7 and G/LIC/Q/CHN/9.  The
information and notifications provided by China to  the Committee for the meeting were circulated in
documents G/LIC/W/20, G/LIC/N/1/CHN/2, G/LIC/N/1/CHN/3 and G/LIC/N/3/CHN/2.  The report
of the Committee to the Council for Trade in Goods on this review is contained in document
G/LIC/11-.
