  El pasado 11 de noviembre Chile informó al Ór gano de Solución de Di ferencias que requería 
un plazo prudencial para encontrar una solución mutu amente satisfactoria a la controversia de la

lamentablemente, no han permitido acordar la duración de dicho plazo prudencial.  En consecuencia, 
Chile solicita que la determinación del plazo pruden cial quede sujeta a un arbitraje vinculante, de 
conformidad con el apartado c) de l párrafo 3 del artículo 21 del En tendimiento relativo a las normas y 
procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de diferencias.   Junto con manifestar la plena disposición de Chile para sostener discusiones que permitan la 
pronta designación del árbitro, me valgo de la presen te para reiterar a V.E. las seguridades de mi más

TRANSPARENCY
Joint communication of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and the European Communities
In order to comply with the SPS Agreement Transparency and Notification provisions, as set
out in Article 7 and Annex B, and in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Committee) as included in documents G/SPS/12 and
G/SPS/7, G/SPS/7/Rev.1, G/SPS/7/Rev.2 and G/SPS/7/Rev.2/Add.1, Cyprus, the Czech Republic,
Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and the EuropeanCommunities would like to inform the SPS Committee of the following:
(i) One of the main principles in the framework of accession negotiations is that the new
member States of the European Union (EU) adopt the EU Acquis , i.e. the detailed
laws and rules adopted on the basis of the EU's founding treaties.  This principle hasbecome effective for Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia with the Treaty of Accession and the
Act of Accession attached to it which has been signed in Athens on 16 April 2003.
The foreseen date of accession for these ten new member States is 1 May 2004.
(ii) As a consequence new EC member States have to fully comply with SPS legislation
already enforced within the European Communities.
(iii) For the sake of transparency it has been considered useful to use a specific model of
notification to be used in the period preceding the date of accession.  For this it should
be considered that the relevant US Acquis  has been previously notified, as from when
the obligation to notify applies i.e. in 1995, and open to comments, which have been
taken into account in the final version of the SPS measures.  In this respect, Cyprus,
the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia,Slovenia and the European Communities share a common understanding supporting
the view that the ongoing modification of their national SPS regulations as a
consequence of the adoption of the EU Acquis  will be notified for information [i.e.
comment period as foreseen in box 11 of the notification format, with not be
applicable.]  Therefore the objective of notification, as stipulated under point 7 in thenotification form, is the harmonization of legislation in connection with the accession
to the European Union.
(iv) Once the new member States have joined the European Union, and as specified in
G/SPS/W/14, these transitional notifications will be overruled.  The EC National
Notification Authority (NNA) and Enquiry Point (EP) will further act as the singleEEC NNA and EP while the new member St ates' NNA and EP w ill become "contact
points".

Les procédures suivantes sont adoptées en tant que lignes directrices générales en ce qui
concerne les rapports/renseignements sur les accords commerciaux régionaux présentés au Conseil ducommerce des services
2:
1. Ces rapports/renseignements seront également mis à la disposition du Comité des accords
commerciaux régionaux, en tant que contribution aux travaux du Comité au titre du point 1 d) de son
mandat.

des Membres de l'OMC.

EC/FRANCE - TRADING ARRANGEMENTS WITH MOROCCO
Request for an Extension of the Waiver
The following communication, dated 16 November 1998, has been received from the
European Communities.
_______________
On 10 December 19971, the General Council decided to extend until the entry into force of
the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communitiesand their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other part, or until
31 December 1998, whichever the earlier, the waiver granted for France’s preferential trading
arrangements with Morocco by Decision of the CONTRACTING PARTIES of 10 November 1960
2.
The waiver applies to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article I of the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT), to the extent necessary to permit France to apply duty-free tariff quotas to anumber of products originating in parts of the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco not covered by the
provisions of paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article I of the GATT.
This extension was without prejudice to the right of the European Communities to request a
further extension of the waiver, should this prove necessary.
At this point in time, there remain two Member States of the European Communities that
have not yet ratified the Euro-Mediterranean Agr eement with Morocco.  It now seems likely that this
Agreement will enter into force in the course of the year 1999.
For this reason, the European Communities request an extension of the waiver until the entry
into force of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the EuropeanCommunities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other
part, or until 31 December 1999, whichever is the earlier.
Since the previous extension, there have been no changes in the measures for which the
extension of the waiver is requested, in the specific policy objectives pursued, or in the continuedexistence of the exceptional circumstances justifying the waiver. The terms and conditions attached to
the extended waiver have been complied with.
The European Communities wish to assure the other WTO Members that they will, upon
request, promptly enter into consultations with any interested WTO Member with respect to any
difficulty or matter that may arise as a result of the extension of the waiver.
                                                     
1 Document WT/L/250 of 16 December 1997.
2 BISD 9S/39.G/L/275
Page 2
This request is without prejudice to the right of the European Communities to request a
further extension of the waiver before the end of 1999, should this prove necessary.
