Description : The purpose of this amendment is to facilitate trade and to make the process for 
submitting a Certifica te of Free Sale (CFS) more flexible so that, in the case of manufactures by 
third parties or subsidiaries and when the product is not marketed in the country of manufacture, 
the CFS may be issued by the competent authority of the country where a subsidiary  of the company 
proprietor of the biomedical equipment and material (BEM) or of the parent company is located . The 
subsidiary must be duly incorporated and not only registered with the competent authority of the 
country of the proprietor of the product . It also promotes the efficient review of BEM labels, so that 
there are no further delays in the procedure for assessing post -registration changes . To that end, 
Transitional Clause III has been extended from 6 months . When a product is subject to recognition 
of equivalence of the conformity assessment systems of the registration systems, and a CFS is 
submitted issued by the authority of a country with which no recognition agreement is in place, the 
notified document clarifies that missing elements must be subm itted to complete the file, in order 
to ensure the efficient review of the label and avoid further delays . This is quite logical, but to avoid 
misunderstandings, it was decided to provide clarification in the interest of the principle of clear and 
unambigu ous rules.

INDIA – MEASURES CONCERNING THE IMPORTATION  
OF CERTAIN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS  
RECOURSE TO ARTICLE 22.6 OF THE DSU BY INDIA  
COMMUNICATION FROM THE ARBITRATOR  
The following communication, dated 10 November  2021, addressed to the Chairperson of the Dispute 
Settlement Body (DSB), is  circulated at the request of the Arbitrator.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Article 22.6 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes 
(DSU) provides that the arbitrator shall cir culate its report within 60 days after the date of expiry of 
the reasonable period of time.  
 
The reasonable period of time in this dispute, as agreed between the parties1, expired on 19  June 
2016. Following the United States' request to the DSB for authorization to suspend concessions or 
other obligations in accordance with Article 22.2 of the DSU2 and India's objection to the United 
States ' proposed level of suspension of concessions or other obligations,3 the matter was referred 
to arbitration, as required by Article  22.6 of the DSU, on 19 July 2016.4 
 
The Arbitrator in this dispute was constituted on 29 June 2017 and comprised the three original 
panelists.5 The timetable adopted by the Arbitrator, in consultation with the parties, provided for an 
arbitration process parallel to the Article 21.5 proceedings in this dispute, and envisaged the 
circulation of its Decision to the WTO membersh ip and the general public on 23  March 2018.  
 
The Arbitrator wishes to inform the DSB that, as previously notified to the DSB, the parties, on 
numerous consecutive occasions beginning in March 2018, jointly requested the Arbitrator to 
postpone the issuance  of its Decision. These requests, which were accepted by the Arbitrator, were 
made in conjunction with simultaneous requests to extend the timelines for the remaining steps in 
the parallel Article 21.5 proceedings.  
 
On 10 November 2021, the Arbitrator acc epted the parties' latest request to postpone issuance of 
its Decision, and now expects to issue its Decision in January 2022.  
 
Accordingly, the Arbitrator has been unable to comply with the time -limits provided for in Article  22.6 
of the DSU.  
 
I would be  grateful if you would circulate this letter to the Members of the DSB.

PREGUNTAS DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS A LA REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 11 de marzo de 2020, se distribuye a petición de la delegación 
de los Estados Unidos.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Los Estados Unidos desean señalar a la atención de los Miembros el documento G/LIC/Q/DOM/1, y 
piden a la República Dominicana que responda a las preguntas presentadas por escrito por los 
Estados Unidos el 29 de abril de 2019. 
 
En su intervención en la reunión del Comité de Licencias de Importación, la República Dominicana 
indicó que el Departamento de Promoción Agrícola y Ganadera (DPAG) expide permisos de 
importación con fines estadísticos . La República Dominicana también confirmó que los productos no 
sujetos a contingentes arancelarios notificados a la OMC obtendrán esos permisos de forma 
automática.  
 
• Sírvanse explicar por qué el Ministerio de Agricultura tiene que firmar cada uno de los 
permisos de importación expedidos p or el DPAG . El texto del permiso del DPAG indica 
claramente que se exige una autorización de importación del Ministerio (es decir, este 
autoriza a la entidad a "inspeccionar y despachar" determinada cantidad de un producto 
específico), que no está vinculad a a fines estadísticos.  
• ¿A qué motivo podría obedecer que el Ministerio de Agricultura no firmase 
automáticamente una autorización de importación?  
• ¿Puede el Ministerio de Agricultura exigir que se modifique la cantidad del producto 
solicitada en una autori zación de importación ? ¿En qué circunstancias podría adoptar 
esa medida?  
• Sírvanse confirmar que en el caso de los productos no comprendidos en los contingentes 
arancelarios de la República Dominicana, como las patatas (papas) y los huevos para 
incubación, ese permiso se expediría de forma automática.  
• Sírvanse confirmar que esas licencias automáticas se expiden de manera constante a lo 
largo del año.

Ministerial Conference  
Twelfth Session  
Geneva, 12 -15 June 2022  Original:  English  
 
  
REPORT BY AMBASSADOR ZHANAR AITZHANOVA,  
CHAIR OF THE SPECIAL SESSION OF THE COUNCIL FOR TRADE IN SERVICES   
TEXT ON SERVICES FOR THE MC12  OUTCOME DOCUMENT  
10 June 2022  
1.  This report , which is made under my own responsibility, provides an update with respect to 
services text for M C12.  It complements my earlier report s of 19 November 2021 (TN/S/42) , 
4 May 2022 (JOB/SERV/315) , and 7 June 2022 (TN/S/43) .      
2.  At meetings of the TNC and Heads of Delegations in 2021, I reported that there was good support 
for having text on trade in services in the MC12 outcome document.1  In November, I in formed that 
broad convergence had been achieved on the first four sentences of a paragraph on tr ade in services  
for the Ministerial outcome document.  However, c onvergence had been lacking on the last sentence .  
Recently , discussions among the different groups of delegations that had put forward text proposals 
over the last year , as well as those tha t had expressed concerns and offered alternative formulation , 
allowed to narrow the d ifferences , as I recently indicated at the special meeting of the General 
Council held o n 7 June ( TN/S/43 ). 
3.  Since then, I undertook consultation s in order to find convergence  on the paragraph .  On th e 
basis of these consultations, I believe that the following text  has a wide measure of support  and can 
attract consensus .  I therefore transmit it for Ministers' consideration and inclusion in the MC12 
outcome document :  
"Services trade is vital to the global economy and has a major role to play in global economic 
output and employment.   The COVID -19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of services 
and has had a significant impact on services trade and services sector s, particularly for 
developing Members, including least -developed countries (LDCs).   We underscore the 
importance of recovery for services most impacted by the pandemic and of efforts to 
strengthen such services, taking into account challenges and opportun ities encountered by 
Members.  We acknowledge the need to facilitate the increasing participation of developing 
Members, including LDCs, in global services trade, including by paying particular attention to 
sectors and modes of supply of export interest to  them.   We take note of work in the area of 
trade in services. " 
4.  I thank delegations for their efforts  and engagement , as well as for their flexibility, as the text 
represents significant compromise.
