EQUIVALENCE
Statement by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)
at the meeting of 28-30 October 2003
1. The first International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) was adopted by the Food
and Agriculture Organization’s Conference in 1993.  ISPM No. 1, Principles of Plant Quarantine as
Related to International Trade, states the general principle of equivalence in the context of the IPPC
is:  Countries shall recognize as being equivalent those phytosanitary measures that are not identical
but which have the same effect.
2. In addition, the general principle of equivalen ce is already used in regard to phytosanitary
measures.
3. The Interim Commission on Phytosanitary Measures’ (ICPM) work program identified both
Efficacy of Measures and Equivalence as priorities for ISPMs.  It was believed that an ISPM on
Efficacy of Measures was a pre-requisite to an ISPM on Equivalence.
4. An Expert Working Group (EWG) met to discuss Efficacy of Measures and produced a draft
ISPM which was submitted to the Standards Committee. The Standards Committee raised some
additional issues to be addressed and returned the draft back to the EWG.  These issues will be further
discussed and the resulting draft ISPM will be resubmitted to the Standards Committee in May 2004.
5. In September 2003, an EWG was convened to work on an ISPM on Equivalence.  The report
from this meeting has not been finalized.  The final report will be presented to the Standards
Committee for review in May 2004 .

NOTIFICATION BYKOREA OFTHE SECOND STAGE

FortheSecond Stage Integration Programme, thelistprovided byKorea contains 12HS6-digit
linesinchapters 30to49and64to96.Wecansubclassify 8ofthe12linesby10-digit linesunder
thedomestic tariff system. Fourofthese 8lines(420212, 420222, 420232, 420292) donotinclude
non-covering products, anddetailed subclassification of3ofthe8lines(392190, 640610, 961210)
doesnotcorrespond totheprecise product description intheAnnex totheATC. Therefore, justone
HS6-digit line(640699) doesnotexclude products thatwerenotcovered bytheATC. Ifweexclude
non-covering items from HS640699, thepercentage calculated forthesecond stage would be
16.71 percent. However, thetotalpercentage forthefirstandsecond stages would stillbehigher than
33percent (33.06 percent, firststage was16.35 percent). Ifwecalculate thepercentage, based on
modified import volume of1990, which excludes non-covering items, thefirst, second andtotal
percentages become 16.41 percent, 16.77 percent and33.18 percent, respectively.

LEY DE COMERCIO EXTERIOR REVISADA
 
 
1. Hemos tomado nota de la adopción el 6 de abri l de 2004 de la Ley de Comercio Exterior 
Revisada (en adelante "LCE revisada") por el Com ité Permanente del Décimo Congreso Nacional del 
Pueblo y de su entrada en vigor el 1º de julio de 2004.  A nuestro entender, la LCE revisada aún no ha 
sido notificada con arreglo a la Sección 2 c), Parte I, del Protocolo de Adhesión de China y el párrafo 
334 del Informe del Grupo de Trabajo sobre la A dhesión de China.  Desearíamos saber en qué 
momento China notificará la LCE revisada. 
2. El artículo 46 de la LCE revisada parece otorgar facultades para imponer medidas 
comerciales correctivas sobre las importaciones si una medida de restricción de las importaciones 
adoptada por otro país da lugar a un aumento signi ficativo de las importaciones de esas mercancías en 
el mercado de China que causan o amenazan causa r un "daño" a su rama de producción nacional. 
- ¿Podría China confirmar si es correcta nuestra interpretación del artículo modificado? - El Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias de la OMC prevé un criterio mínimo de "daño grave" 
causado a la rama de producción nacional para la  imposición de una medi da de salvaguardia.  
Sin embargo, la LCE revisada parece establece r un umbral de "daño" más bajo.  ¿Podría 
China explicar cómo aplicará la LCE revisada en forma compatible con las normas de la OMC?  ¿Considera China que la expresión "desviación del comercio" se ajusta en la prescripción de "evolución imprevista de la s circunstancias" en el Acuerdo sobre 
Salvaguardias? 
-  ¿A qué tipo de medidas correctivas podría referirse dicho artículo? 
REGLAMENTO DE LA REPÚBLICA POPULAR CHINA SOBRE SALVAGUARDIAS y 
NORMAS RELATIVAS A LAS INVESTIGACION ES Y DETERMINACIONES EN MATERIA 
DE SALVAGUARDIAS  
3. Tras la reestructuración del Ministerio de Comercio, el 31 de marzo de 2004, China revisó el 
Reglamento de la República Popular China sobre salva guardias.  Además, el 17 de octubre de 2003, el 
Ministerio de Comercio promulgó las "Normas rela tivas a las investigaciones y determinaciones en G/SG/Q1/CHN/19 
Página 2  
 
 materia de salvaguardia para establecer la existenc ia de daño a una rama de producción", que entraron 
en vigor un mes más tarde.  A nuestro entender, el Reglamento supra  no ha sido aún notificado al 
Comité de Salvaguardias.  Desearíamos sab er cuándo China notificará dicho Reglamento.

COMMUNICATION FROM THAILAND WITH RESPECT TO
THE WAIVER APPLICATION FOR THE NEW ACP-EC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

of Thailand to the WTO, has been received with the request that the attached copy of the letter fromEC Commissioner Pascal Lamy be circulated.

Commissioner Pascal LAMY
Doha, 14 November 2001
Dr. Adisai Bodharamik
Minister of Commerce
Thailand
Dear Minister,
Further to recent discussions between our dele gations on the subject of canned tuna, I would
like to confirm the Community's readiness to enter expeditiously into full consultations with Thailand
pursuant to GATT/WTO provisions, procedures and customary practices.  Such consultations, to be
initiated within four weeks of the date of this letter, shall examine the extent to which the legitimate
interests of Thailand are being unduly impaired as a result of the implementation of the preferential
tariff treatment for canned tuna originating in ACP states and consider means in which Thailand'slegitimate interests may be addressed.  The consultations shall be completed by 30 April 2002.  Upon
their completion, the Commission will report to the EU Council with a view to it taking appropriate
decisions.
Should the result of the consultations be consider ed unsatisfactory to the Thai authorities, the
Community would be open to recourse to the mediat ion procedure as provided under Article 5 of the
WTO's DSU.
Yours sincerely,
Pascal LAMY
