MISE À JOUR DE L'ORGANISATION MONDIALE DE LA SANTÉ  
DÉCLARATION DE L 'OMS 
Les renseignements ci -après ont été communiqués par l' OMS à la réunion du Comité OTC  des 8 et 
10 novembre 2023 au titre du point 4 de l'ordre du jour (Renseignements actualisés présentés par 
les observateurs).1 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.1.  We would like to recall our statement at the TBT Committee meeting of 21 to 23 June 2023,in 
which we indicate d the existing references to labelling measures for alcoholic beveragesin WHO 
instruments.  
1.2.  In addition, we would like to underline two elements on the evidence about the relationship 
between alcohol and health risks, in particular for cancer.  
1.3.  First, alcoho l is a group 1 carcinogen and a risk factor for over 200 communicable and 
noncommunicable diseases. In 2019, 2.6 million deaths were attributable to alcohol consumption 
and, in 2020, more than 740.000 cancer cases were attributable to alcohol use.  
1.4.  Second, although alcohol consumption causes substantial health, social and economic 
consequences, consumers frequently have an inaccurate perception of the risks associated with 
different levels and patterns of alcohol consumption. Labelling measures across a vari ety of products, 
including tobacco products, are widely recognized as increasing consumer understanding and 
impacting behavior. More specifically, health warning labels on alcoholic beverages can increase 
consumer awareness, slow down drinking, decrease dr inking occasions and reduce purchase 
occasions. Health warnings have been shown effective during pregnancy. In the European Union, 
surveys show most people support health warnings on alcoholic beverages.  
1.5.  Thank you very much for this opportunity to provide additional information to the TBT 
Committee, with a view to recalling the evidence around the effectiveness of health warning labels 
and ensuring coherence across the international system.

IMPORT LICENSING SYSTEM OF INDONESIA  
QUESTIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES TO INDONESIA  
The following communication, dated 30 October  2023, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the United States . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The United States thanks Indonesia for its responses in document G/LIC/Q/IDN/51 . 
The United  States has follow -up questions:  
 
• Does Presidential  Regulation No. 32/2022 have any relationship to Indonesia 's administration 
of its import licensing system?  
• Does the volume set by the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs for a particular product 
under Presidential Regulation No. 32/2022 affect the a dministration of Indonesia 's import 
licensing system, including the total volume of import licenses that Indonesia will issue for 
that product?  
• Does Indonesia wait to issue import licenses for a particular product until after the 
Coordinating Ministry of E conomic Affairs sets the overall quantity for that product, pursuant 
to Presidential Regulation No. 32/2022?  
• Can Indonesia elaborate on what actions it has taken or is planning to implement with regard 
to "principles of simplification and transparency" in order to address the delays in obtaining 
import licenses that importers are experiencing and the reductions to volumes received?  
• Can Indonesia please explain what is meant by "the readiness considerations of the relevant 
Government Agencies "? While Indonesia states it has implemented its Commodity Balance 
system to ensure easiness and an expedited import licensing regime, it remains unclear which 
products may be added to Indonesia 's commodity balance policy and how that 's determined. 
This lack of tra nsparency brings unpredictability to the market and causes concerns for U .S. 
exporters, especially given the delays importers of specific agricultural products have 
experienced in receiving licenses since the commodity balance policy entered into force.
