REPORT (2004) OF THE COMMITTEE ON IMPORT LICENSING 
TO THE COUNCIL FOR TRADE IN GOODS  
 
 
1. The Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures (hereinafter "the Agreement") which entered  
into force on 1 January 1995, establishes disciplines on users of import licensing systems with the principal objective of ensuring that the procedur es applied for granting import licences do not in 
themselves restrict trade.  It aims to simplify, clarify and minimize the administrative requirements necessary to obtain import licences. 
2. The Committee on Import Licensing was established to afford Members the opportunity of 
consulting on any matters relati ng to the operation of the Agreement or the furtherance of its 
objectives.  The Committee's Rules of Procedure, which were approved by the Council for Trade in 
Goods, are contained in document G/L/147.  
3. All Members of the WTO are ipso facto  members of the Committee.  Observer governments 
in the General Council of the WTO have Observe r status in the Committ ee. The International 
Monetary Fund, the World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer status in the Committee. 
4. The focus of this report is on the period si nce the Committee's last annual report (G/L/652), 
i.e. 3 October 2003-30 September 2004 (hereinafter "the  review period").  During the review period, 
the Committee held two meetings on 5 May a nd 30 September 2004 (G/LIC/M/19 + Corr.1 and 
G/LIC/M/20).  At its meeting on 5 May 2004, the Committee took note of the nomination of 
Dr. Victoria Campeanu (Romania) as Chairperson of the Committee for the current year and elected 
her by acclamation.  At that meeting, the Committe e elected as Vice-Chairperson for the current year, 
Dr. Dayaratna Silva (Sri Lanka).  Pursuant to Comm ittee's Rules of Procedure, they took office at the 
end of that meeting. 
5. Pursuant to Articles 1.4(a) and/or 8.2(b) of  the Agreement and procedures agreed by the 
Committee, all Members are required to notify thei r laws, regulations and administrative procedures 
relevant to import licensing and submit copies of any relevant publications or  laws and regulations 
upon becoming a WTO Member.  Any subsequent changes to these laws, regulations and 
administrative procedures are also required to be notified.  Since the entry into force of the WTO 
Agreement, 90 Members
1 have notified the Committee of their legislation and/or publications under 
these provisions.  During the review period, the Co mmittee received notifications from the following 
Members:  Dominican Republic;  El Salvador;  Ghana;  Macao, China;  Mexico; Suriname;  
Chinese Taipei;  and Zambia.  These notifications may be found in document series G/LIC/N/1/-.  
Copies of publications and legisl ation submitted with these notificati ons are available for consultation 
in the Secretariat.

 6. Article 7.3 of the Agreement requires all Memb ers to provide replies to the Questionnaire on 
Import Licensing Procedures
2 by 30 September each year.  Since the entry into force of the WTO 
Agreement, 84 Members3 have made notifications under this provision.  This includes replies to the 
Questionnaire from 11 Members in 1995,  22 Members in 1996, 25 Members3 in 1997, 26 Members 
in 1998, 20 Members3 in 1999, 32 Members3 in 2000, 23 Members3 in 2001, 41 Members3 in 2002, 
25 Members3 in 2003 and 16 Members in 2004.  During the review period, the Committee received 
notifications from the following Members:  Armenia;  China; Colombia;  Cuba;  Dominican Republic;  
Ghana;  Guatemala;  Guyana;  Iceland; India;  Jap an;  Macao, China;  Mexico; Panama;  Saint Lucia;  
Singapore;  Chinese Taipei;  Trinidad and Tobago;  and Zambia.  These notifications may be found in 
document series G/LIC/N/3/-. 
7. The Committee also received, pursuant to pa ragraphs 5.1-5.4 of Article 5, notifications 
relating to the institution of new import licensi ng procedures or changes in these procedures from 
Argentina, Australia and Chinese Taipei.  These notifications may be found in document series 
G/LIC/N/2/-.  Since the entry into force of the WTO Agreement 26 Members3 have submitted 
notifications under these provisions.  Article 5.5 of the Agreement allows Members to submit reverse 
notifications, where a Member considers that anot her Member has not notified the institution of a 
licensing procedure or changes in the procedures.  However, no such reverse notifications have been 
received under this provision since the entry into force of the Agreement. 
8. Written comments and questions from Members concerning the notifications submitted to the 
Committee and/or on import licensing procedures mainta ined by Members, and replies thereto, may 
be found in document series G/LIC/Q/-4.  During the review period, such comments and questions 
were submitted by the United States to Argentina, India and Jamaica, by Australia to Indonesia, and 
by the United States, EC and Japan to China.  Du ring the same period responses were provided by 
Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Tu rkey to the United States, and by Indonesia to 
Australia.5  Statements of Members in this context, including responses given orally at the meetings, 
are reflected in the minutes of the meetings.  
9. The Committee has provided a regular forum for the discussion of specific notifications 
submitted by Members.  As evident in the Annex to th is report, there continues to be a low level of 
compliance with the mandatory notification require ments under Articles 1.4(a), 8.2(b) and 7.3 and 
with the ad hoc notification requirement under Article  5.  This low level of compliance of Members 
with the transparency obligations of the Agre ement has been the main preoccupation of the 
Committee for some time now. 
 
10. At the meetings of 5 May and 30 September,  the Chair expressed continuing concern over the 
failure of many Members to submit the required no tifications.  This unsatisfactory situation with 
respect to compliance with the notification obliga tions of the Agreement seriously undermined the 
ability of the Committee to carry out its main function of reviewing Members' import licensing 
systems.  The Chair informed the Committee that in order to improve the situation she held informal 
consultations with several delega tions and, on 30 July 2004, addressed a letter to all delegations 
whose notifications were overdue or who had not yet provided responses to the questions posed by 
some Members.  She also reminded Members that the Secretariat was ready to assist any Member requiring assistance in fulfilling the notification oblig ations of the Agreement.  The Committee noted 
that despite the efforts of the Chair and the S ecretariat, 24 Members had not, as yet,  made any 
notification under the Agreement, nor had they in formed the Secretariat of any difficulties in

 notifying, or of any technical assistance needs to  improve their compliance.  The Chair once again 
urged Members who had not yet notified and had not updated th eir notifications or provided 
clarifications sought by other Members to do so as soon as possible.  11. At its meeting of 30 September, the Comm ittee conducted the third transitional review, as 
appropriate to its mandate, of th e implementation by China of the WTO Agreement and of the related 
provisions of its Protocol of Accession
6, as provided for in Paragraph 18 of the Protocol on the 
Accession of the People's Republic of China to the WTO (G/LIC/M/20, paragraphs 3.1-3.29).  The 
report of the Committee to the Council for Trade in Goods on this review is contained in document 
G/LIC/13. 
 
12. At the same meeting, the Committee conducted its  fifth biennial review of the implementation 
and operation of the Agreement unde r Article 7.1 on the basis of a factual report prepared by the 
Secretariat (G/LIC/W/22 and G/LIC/12).
