Council for Trade in Goods
UPDATING OF THE LISTING OF NOTIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND
THE COMPLIANCE THEREWITH AS S ET OUT IN ANNEX III OF THE REPORT
OF THE WORKING GROUP ON NOTIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND PROCEDURES
Revision
1. At its meeting on 15 October 1996, the Council for Trade in Goods considered the report of
the Working Group on Notification Obligations and Procedures (G/L/112) and decided, inter alia , that
the listing of notification obligations and the compliance therewith, contained in its Annex III, should
be updated prior to the Singapore Ministerial Meeting and should be maintained on an on-going basis
and circulated semi-annually to all Members thereafter.
2. Accordingly Annex III of document G/ L/112 has been repeatedly updated1. The present
document updates the information, including the explanatory notes, and the listing of notifications to
include all notifications of a regular or periodic nature received up to 31 December 1999 .
3. It should be noted that this listing does not address the qualitative aspects of these
notifications, that is, the extent to which the content of the submissions satisfies the informational
requirements of the various obligations.
                                                     
1Previous updates have been circulated in G/L/112/Add.1, Add.2, G/L/223 and Corr.1, G/L/223/Rev.1,
2 and 3.G/L/223/Rev.4

EXPLANATORY NOTES
1. This table sets out notification obligations of a regular/periodic nature (i.e. semi-annual,
annual, biennial or triennial) and notifications required on a "one-time only" basis.  It does not
include ad hoc notifications, that is, those which must be provided only if a certain action is
taken.  It also does not include those regular/periodic or "one-time" notification obligationslisted in document G/NOP/W/2/Rev.1, relating to Marks of Origin (page 50, item 8),
Regional Arrangements (page 52, item 13 and page 55, item 7), Balance of Payments
(page 54, item 5) and the Integrated Database (page 52, item 15).
2. The symbols used, in general, are as follows.  There may be additional specifications
provided in the notes pertaining to the specific agreements:
(a) "X" denotes that a notification has been received in the WTO.  Subsequent addenda
or corrections to notifications are not counted as additional notifications.
(b) A blank indicates that this is a requirement applicable to the Member concerned, but
that no notification has been received up to the cut-off date.
(c) "NA" indicates that the requirement was not applicable for this Member during the
period covered by the Note.
(d) "0" indicates that no notification was received from the Member and that this is a
requirement which is:
(i) applicable only to those Members maintaining the type of measure or taking
the action in question but for which it was not possible to determine whether
the Member maintained that type of measure or took the action in question;
or
(ii) permitting certain Members to take advantage of special treatment.

4. With respect to Members, the European Community and its 15 member States provide one
notification for each of the respective requirements.  In the case of Agriculture, Switzerland's
notifications are taken to cover Liechtenstein as these two Members have a joint Schedule.
5. The following notes apply to specific agreements:
Agreement on Agriculture
(a) For Tables MA:1 and MA:2 (Tariff and other quotas - Article 18.2), notifications are
required only by Members with tariff and other quota commitments recorded in
Section I-B (or Section I-A) of Part I of their Schedules for the products concerned.
(b) For Table MA:5 (Special Safeguard - Articles 5.7 and 18.2) notifications are required
only by Members having reserved the right to use the Special Safeguard provisions as
indicated in Section I-A of Part I of Schedules.
(c)  For Table DS:1 (Domestic Support - Article 18.2), while all Members are required to
notify, the least-developed country Members may notify every second year (indicatedby the symbol (NA)), all others annually.  As no least-developed country Members
notified domestic support measures for the 1995 implementation year, all are required
to do so for the 1996 implementation year with the exception of those that only
became Members during 1996 (who must make their first notification for 1997 at the
latest).
(d) For Table ES:1 (Export Subsidies - Article 18.2), a notification is required by all
Members whether or not a base or annual commitment level is shown in Section II of
Part IV of their Schedule, i.e., a "nil" return is required.
(e) For Table ES:2 (Total exports in the context of Export Subsidies - Articles 10
and 18.2), a notification is required only by Members with export subsidy reduction
commitments shown in Section II of Part IV of Schedules and "significant exporters"
as set out in G/AG/2/Add.1.
(f) For Table ES:3 (Food Aid in the context of Export Subsidies - Articles 10 and 18.2)
notification is required of all food aid donor Members unless this information isprovided for under (e) above.  No "nil return" is required from Members which do not
provide food aid.
(g) For Table NF:1 (Food and other aid in the context of the Decision - Article 16.2),
notification is required by all donor Members in respect of actions taken within theframework of the Decision on Measures concerning the Possible Negative Effects of
the Reform Programme on the Least-Deve loped and Net-Food Importing Developing

or other assistance to the countries concerned.G/L/223/Rev.4

Requirements are shown in four tables referring to the 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998
implementation years respectively (the "one-off" MA:1 notification requirement is shown only in the
1997 table).  The symbols used in the table are as follows:
A blank indicates that this is a requirement applicable to the Member concerned but that no
notification was received up to the cut-off date.  Notifications may be submitted according tovarious bases (calendar, crop, fiscal years, etc.).  The time limits for the submission of the
"one-off" MA:1 notifications and all notifications concerning the 1995, 1996 and 1997
implementation years have now passed for all Members.
Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(a) Notifications under Article 2.1 were required only by Canada, the
European Community, Norway and the United States.
(b) Notifications under Articles 2.6/2.7 (first integration stage) and Articles 2.8(a)/2.11
(second integration stage) were required only by Members which retained their right
to use the transitional safeguard mechanism under Article 6.1 plus the four Membersin (a) above.
(c) Notifications under Article 3.1 were required only by Members which maintained
quantitative restrictions on textile and clothing products, other than those under the
MFA.
(d) Notifications under Article 6.1 indicating whether or not the Member wished to retain
the right to use the transitional safeguard mechanism were required of all WTO
Members except the four mentioned in (a) above.

(a) Article 5.1 requires the notification of trade-related investment measures Members
were applying that were not in conformity with the Agreement on a "one-time" basis
within 90 days of the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement.  An agreedstandard format for the submission of these notifications appears in
document G/TRIMS/1.  Pursuant to decision adopted by the General Council in
April 1995 (WT/L/64) states and separate customs territories eligible to become
original Members of the WTO that accepted the WTO Agreement after
1 January 1995 had a period of 90 days after the date of their acceptance of the WTO
Agreement to make notifications under Article 5.1 of the TRIMs Agreement.
While there is no obligation to do so, some Members have submitted notifications
indicating that they do not apply any TRIM inconsistent with the Agreement.
(b) Article 5.5 requires the notification of the application of trade-related investment
measures notified under Article 5.1 to new investments during the transition periodprovided for in Article 5.2.  A standard format for such notifications has been
developed (G/TRIMS/3) but no notifications have been received so far under this
provision.
(c) Article 6.2 requires the notification of publications in which TRIMs may be found.  A
decision has been adopted on the procedure for the implementation of this
requirement (G/TRIMS/5).  Document G/TRIMS/N/2/Rev.7 lists the notifications
received under this provision.G/L/223/Rev.4
