INTEGRATED NEGOTIATING TEXT
FOR THE HARMONIZATION WORK PROGRAMME
Note bytheSecretariat
Addendum
1. Atitsmeeting on10May1996, theCommittee onRules ofOrigin (theCommittee) decided
toestablish anIntegrated Negotiating TextfortheHarmonization Work Programme (INT). Since the
firstdraftINTwascirculated indocument G/RO/W/13, thedocument hasbeenperiodically updated,
reflecting theprogress made byboththeCommittee andtheTechnical Committee onRules ofOrigin
inconnection withtheHarmonization Work Programme. Thelatest update wascirculated indocument
G/RO/W/13/Rev.3. However, despite thebenefit ofintegrating negotiating documents inasingle,
consolidated andcoherent text,concern hasbeenexpressed withregard tothevolume oftheINTwhich
hasalready reached 554pages. TheCommittee, therefore, atitsmeeting on15May1997, agreed
thatatthisstage, onlyadditions tothedrafttextofAppendix 2(product-specific rules oforigin) to
theHarmonized Rules ofOrigin would becirculated toMembers.
2. Theattached addendum tothedraft INT, prepared bytheChairperson together withthe
Secretariat, isthelatest update, andreflects onlywork donebytheTechnical Committee during its
Seventh Session from10to21February 1997inBrussels, i.e.product-specific rulesofChapters 15,
33-40, 82-84, andofChapters 52-63 andother Chapters relating totextiles.G/RO/W/13/Rev.3/Add.1
