Rectification of Schedule of Specific Commitments
The following communication and attached draft rectification to the specific commitments of
Chinese Taipei on "11. Transport Services; E. Rail Transport Services (b), and F. Road TransportServices (b)" have been received from the delegation of Chinese Taipei with the request to initiate a
certification procedure in accordance with the "Procedures for the Certification of Rectifications or
Improvements to Schedules of Specific Commitments" adopted by the Council for Trade in Services
(S/L/84).
Accordingly, if no objections are communicated to the Secretariat within 45 days from the
date of this communication, this procedure shall be concluded and the intended rectifications (see
attached) shall be certified and will constitute an integral part of the Schedule of Specific
Commitments of the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Kinmen, Penghu and Matsu under the
GATS (GATS/SC/136).
In addition, for ease of reference, a compare version indicating the intended changes has been
attached to this document.
_______________
After the completion of our accession process, we found that there are two technical errors in
our Schedule of Specific Commitments on Services (WT/ACC/TPKM/18/Add.2, 5 October 2001)which we would like to rectify pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article XXI of the GATS (modification of
schedules) and the "Procedures for the Certification of rectifications or improvements to schedules of
specific commitments" adopted by the Council for Trade in Services (S/L/84). The requested
rectifications are:
(a) On Page 38 of our Schedule, “Sector or sub-sector” column, item E (b), delete current
text “ Freight Transport Services (limited to ordinary trucking services and container
trucking services) excluding regular route trucking services as currently defined in the
Highway Law”, and replace by:
“Freight Transportation (7112)”S/C/W/208
Page 2
(b) On Page 38 of our Schedule, “Sector or sub-sector” column, item F (b), delete current
text “Import and export of freight that has an origin or destination outside of Chinese
Taipei (7123**, excluding regular route freight transportation as currently defined in
the Highway Law and those services currently specially reserved to the Chinese
Taipei’s postal authorities by law)”, and replace by:
“Freight Transport Services (limited to ordinary trucking services and
container trucking services), excluding regular route trucking services as
currently defined in the Highway Law”
As originally printed on Page 39 of our  Draft Schedule (WT/ ACC/SPEC/TPKM/12, 16
February 2001), item E(b) “Freight Transportation (7112)” was stated correctly and item F(b) needed
to be corrected as "Freight Transport Services (limited to ordinary trucking services and container
trucking services), excluding regular route trucking services as currently defined in the Highway
Law". A corrigendum was then circulated in WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/12/Corr.3, 12 September 2001.Unfortunately, the said correction was misplaced in the text of item E(b) instead of F(b) on Page 38 of
our adopted Schedule. We would therefore like to make the above rectifications.
In addition, we would like to emphasize that the above rectifications simply correct technical
errors and reflect the result of the negotiations during our accession process. They do not alter thescope or the substance of the existing commitments.
