Committee on Rules of Origin
LIST OF BASKET 1 DECISIONS
Harmonization Work Programme
1. As agreed at the meeting of the Committee on Rules of Origin (CRO) on 15 October 1998,
the Secretariat circulates herewith the list of Basket 1 decisions which are categorized according to the
level of consensus achieved.  The list is to be considered by the CRO at its meeting on
5 November 1998.
2. The Basket 1 Decisions were originally contained in the Eleventh and Twelfth Reports of the
Technical Committee on Rules of Origin (TCRO) to the CRO (see G/RO/ 23, pp. 4-6 and G/RO/27,
pp. 3-8).  The CRO, at its meeting on 15 October 1998, noted that, as indicated in the letter of
transmission of the Chairman of the TCRO (G/RO/ 27/Add.1, p. 2, last paragraph), the status of the
Chapter Notes for each product sector is not resolved;  the Chapter Notes are to be the subject of
discussions during the coming TCRO Sessions.  The CRO also noted that the list of Basket 1Decisions contained in the two Reports included not only new Basket 1 Decisions, but also old
 ones
reached at previous Sessions of the TCRO.  Thos e old Basket 1 Decisions had already been endorsed
by the CRO (document G/RO/W/22/Rev.3).
3. The list of Basket 1 Decisions below, which is identical to the one contained in the Annotated
Agenda for the meeting on 15 October 1998, therefore,  contains only new Basket 1 Decisions (origin
criteria for the headings, subheadings, split headings and split subheadings) reached by the TCRO
during its Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth Sessions, excluding all Chapter Notes.
