Considering  that Thailand has responded to questions raised by two Members;
Acting  pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement;
Decides , in view of the exceptional circumstances, to suspend the application of the
provisions of Article II of GATT, until 31 October 2003, for the purpose of enabling Thailand to
implement the recommended amendments to the Ha rmonized System nomenclature, subject to the
following conditions:
(i) Thailand shall, where necessary, promptly enter into negotiations and consultations
with interested Members pursuant to paragraphs 1-3 of Article XXVIII of
GATT 1994;
(ii) the negotiations and consultations mentioned above shall be completed not later than
30 April 2004;
