des pays les moins avancés (PMA) à prendre part à la 13ème Conférence ministérielle (CM13) de 
l'OMC, qui se tiendra du 26 au 2 9 février  2024 à Abou Dhabi (Émirats  arabes unis).  
 
Cette contribution servira à couvrir les frais de voyage (bill ets d'avion et hébergement) des 
fonctionnaires gouvernementaux des PMA participant à la CM13 . Elle sera allouée  au Fonds 
d'affectation spéciale pour les PMA, qui est établi pour chaque Conférence ministérielle  et auquel 
contribuent p lusieurs Membres de l'O MC. 
 
La Directrice générale de l'OMC, Ngozi Okonjo -Iweala, a déclaré : "La participation active des PMA 
à la CM13 est essentielle pour que la communauté multilatérale obtienne des résultats répondant 
aux besoins de nos Membres les plus vulnérables . Je remer cie donc l'Islande d'aider à faire en 
sorte que les négociations à la CM13 répondent aux besoins et aux priorités des PMA."  
 
L'Ambassadeur d'Islande auprès de l'OMC, Einar Gunnarsson, a déclaré : "La pleine participation de 
tous les Membres de l'OMC est imp ortante pour un système commercial multilatéral fondé sur des 
règles qui soit inclusif . L'Islande est heureuse de soutenir , grâce à cette contribution,  la 
participation des PMA à la 13ème Conférence ministérielle de l'OMC, afin qu'ils puissent faire 
entend re leur voix à Abou Dhabi."  
 
Au total, l'Islande a versé environ 825  000 CHF aux divers fonds d'affectation spéciale de l'OMC en

〈乘用车企业平均燃料消起量与新能源汽车积分并行
管理办法〉修改决定
为适应我国节能与新能源汽车产业发展和技术进步需
要，工业和信息化部等有关部门决定对《乘用车企业平均燃
料消耗量与新能源汽车积分并行管理办法》作如下修改:
一、将第十五条第三款修改为: "2021年度至2025年度
的新能源乘用车车型积分按照《新能源乘用车车型积分计算
方法»(见附件2)确定。2026年度及以后年度的新能源乘
用车车型积分，由工业和信息化部另行公布。”
二、第二十一条增加一款，作为第二款:“按照《乘用车
燃料消耗量评价方法及指标》第4.2款要求计算并公示乘用
车企业平均二氧化碳排放量。”
三、将第二十九条修改为:“乘用车企业购买的新能源汽
车正积分，可以在有效期内依据本办法规定进行抵偿和结
转。”
四、增加一章“积分交易市场调节机制”作为第六章，包
括第二十一条至第二十四条。
五、增加一条，作为第三十一条:“建立新能源汽车正积
分收储、释放机制，保障积分交易市场平稳运行。工业和信
息化部设立积分池，对新能源汽车正积分进行收储和释放。”
六、增加一条，作为第三十二条:“自2023年起，当年
度产生和结转的新能源汽车正积分之和，大于考虑结转、转
让积分抵偿后的企业平均燃料消耗量负积分与新能源汽车
负积分之和的2.0倍时，在每年度积分核算情况报告发布后
90日内，企业可根据自愿原则将新能源汽车正积分存储至积
分池，存储的积分数量不超过自身当年度产生和结转的新能
源汽车正积分总量的40%。收储的新能源汽车正积分不设置
结转比例要求，有效期自存储年起不超过五年。”
七、增加一条，作为第三十三条:“当年度产生和结转的
新能源汽车正积分之和，小于考虑结转、转让抵偿后燃料消
耗量负积分与新能源汽车负积分之和的1.5倍时?积分池释
放新能源汽车正积分至上述倍数关系达到1.5倍。释放方案
于每年6月30日前向社会公示。
按照积分池中企业存储积分占比释放相应数量的积分
至各企业账户，由企业进行积分交易和负积分抵偿。当年度
积分交易期结束之后，未使用的释放正积分返还积分池。”
八、增加一条，作为第三十四条:“工业和信息化部、财
政部、商务部、海关总署、市场监管总局将根据产业发展情
况和碳排放管理工作需要，适时研究建立与其他碳减排体系
的衔接机制。”
九、将第三十二条修改为第三十六条，并将第一款修改
为:“工业和信息化部会同财政部、商务部、海关总署、市场
监管总局对乘用车企业平均燃料消耗量与新能源汽车积分
及执行情况进行核查，核查方式包括随机抽查、定期核查或
专项核查等。”
十、将第二十四条修改为第三十八条，并将第一款修改
为:“乘用车企业有下列情形之一的，工业和信息化部等部门
按照职责给予通报，并按照核查值核算平均燃料消耗量与新
能源汽车积分;视情节轻重，给予列入失信企业名单进行通
报，禁止积分转让、交易等处罚:”
十一、将第三十六条修改为第四十条，并将第一款修改
为:“乘用车企业平均燃料消耗量与新能源汽车积分管理要
求，纳入乘用车生产企业及产品准入条件。乘用车企业有下
列情形之一的，在其负积分抵偿归零前，对其燃料消耗量达
不到《乘用车燃料消耗量评价方法及指标》车型燃料消耗量
目标值的新产品，不予列入《道路机动车辆生产企业及产品
公告》或者不予核发强制性产品认证证书，暂停企业燃料消
耗量达不到目标值乘用车产品合格证电子信息或进口车辆
电子信息报送，并可以依照《汽车产业发展政策» «强制性
产品认证管理规定》等有关规定处罚. "
十二、将第三十七条修改为第四十一条7并将第一款修
改为:“本办法所称核算年度是指每年1月1日至12月31 
日。境内生产的乘用车以机动车整车出厂合格证的发证日期
为准确定相应的年度;进口乘用车以获得强制性产品认证车
辆的海关报关单证放行日期为准确定相应的年度。”
十三、将第二十一条、第三十三条、第三十五条、第三
十八条、第三十九条、第四十条分别修改为第三十五条、第
二十七条、第二十九条、第四十二条、第四十三条、第四十
四条。

An Agreement on Trade Continuity between the United Kingdom of Great Brita in and 
Northern Ireland and Canada  ("the TCA") was signed on 09 December  2020. The TCA 
incorporates and modifies the provisions of  CETA.  
Pending completion of domestic procedures for provisional application or entry into force 
of the TCA, the U nited Kingdom and Canada have  agreed to liberalise bilateral trade in 
goods  on the basis of  a Memorandum of Understanding . The bilateral liberalisation under 
this arrangement  establishes a free trade area for trade in goods, within the meaning of 
Article X XIV of the GATT 1994.  
Under the arrangement , products imported from the United Kingdom into Canada that 
were eligible for preferential tariff treatment under CETA will be eligible for the equivalent 
preferential rates of customs duty. Similarly, products imported from Canada into the 
United Kingdom t hat were eligible for preferential tariff treatment under CETA will be 
eligible for the equivalent preferential rates of customs duty. The arrangement in place 
includes  provisions on tariff rate quotas.  
Members will be notified when domestic  procedures in relation to the TCA have been 
completed by the United Kingdom and Canada . At that point, the current temporary 
arrangement in place under the Memorandum of Understanding will cease to apply as the 
TCA enters into force .  WT/REG 419/N/1
