CHINESE TAIPEI'S IMPORT RESTRICTIONS ON POULTRY AND BEEF  
- SPECIFIC TRADE CONCERN 521  
SUBMISSION BY  BRAZIL  
The following document , received on 31 March  2023, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Brazil . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  For the 6th consecutive time, Brazil would like to bring to the attention of the SPS Committee the 
restrictions it has been facing to export pou ltry and beef to Chinese Taipei. Brazil believes that 
Chinese Taipei 's approach goes against Articles 5 and 8 of the SPS Agreement, as well as its Annex C. 
2.  This STC shows an example of issues that were largely debated on the Working Group on 
Approval Proce dures: the lack of predictability on the length of approval procedures and the benefits 
of anticipating processing periods to trade partners.  
3.  Chinese Taipei authorities require questionnaires with answers about animal and public health as 
part of its risk analysis process. However, Chinese Taipei has raised questions already answered by 
Brazil, either concerning animal health (Newcastle disease) or food safety. We also have already 
explained that we intend to export thermoprocessed meat, so there would be n o need to answer 
this kind of additional questionnaire.  
4.  In February 2022, after a series of documents that had already been sent to Chinese Taipei, 
Brazil answered a questionnaire about processed poultry. We hope that, with the latest discussions 
we had wi th Chinese Taipei, we can now be near the end of the initial phase of its approval 
procedures.  
5.  During the June 2022 SPS Committee meeting, Chinese Taipei indicated that it was not possible 
yet to provide a timeframe for answers, as the questionnaire had been provided four months earlier. 
Now, more than a year has passed since we sent the requested d ocuments. As a result, Brazil would 
like to address three questions to Chinese Taipei: (1) What is the time estimate for the final analysis 
of the latest documents sent by Brazil? (2) What are the stages for approval procedures for 
thermoprocessed  poultry and beef in Chinese Taipei? 3) When can Chinese Taipei set a date for an 
audit mission to Brazil to evaluate the Brazilian inspection and certification systems, as the last step 
to conclude the current approval procedure?

Decision To Revise Conditions Governing the Importation of Fresh Peppers from the Republic of Korea 
Into the Continental United States [Docket No. APHIS -2016-0094]  
APHIS is advising the public of its decision to revise the conditions regarding the importation into the 
continental United States of peppers from the Republic of K orea. APHIS has decided that the mesh 
size of screenings over vent openings can be increased from 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm, provided that sticky 
traps are used as an additional measure for pest monitoring. This action modifies the conditions under 
which peppers fr om the Republic of Korea may be imported into the continental United States while 
continuing to protect against the introduction of quarantine pests. [Federal Register Vol. 84, No. 90,

PROPOSAL ON TRANSPARENCY  
NINTH TRIENNIAL REVIEW  
Submission from the Philippines  
The following submission, dated 7 May  2021, is being circulated at the request of the delegation of 
the Philippines . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1  BACKGROUND  
1.1.  Transparency is a basic foundation for the proper and effective implementation of the TBT 
Agreement.  
1.2.  The notification to the WTO of technical regu lations and standards, and conformity assessment 
procedures, in the three official WTO languages do not extend to cover the full texts of these 
measures.  
1.3.  When the full texts of measures are not in any of the WTO languages (e.g. English), 
consultations on such measures by a Member 's authorities with stakeholders (e.g. exporters, 
importers, manufacturers) are not facilitated.  
1.4.  And when Members do not favorably respond to requests from other Members to provide the 
full text of their notified measures, or even just their summaries, in the official WTO languages, 
consultations with stakeholders become difficult, and most of the time, not possible.  
2  PROPOSAL  
2.1.  Where a Member has translated into any of the official WTO languages the full text of another 
Member's notified measure/s, that Member shall promptly announce the availability of the translation 
through ePing.
