NOTE BY THE SECRETAR IAT1 
Corrigendum* 
Please note that p aragraph  3.38. of document G/SPS/ R/97 should read as follows:  
3  SPECIFIC  TRADE CONCERNS (G/S PS/GEN/204/REV.1 9) 
3.2 I ssues  previously raised  
3.2.2 EU legislation on endocrine disruptors – Concerns of Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, 
Paraguay and the United States (No. 382)  
3.38.  Paraguay reiterated its concern that the EU measure could affect a high volume of its exports, 
with the economic implications that this entailed for a developing country. Paraguay  requested that 
the European Union adopt levels of protection that did  not restrict trade more than necessary, to 
adopt the Codex standards and, where this was not possible, to provide conclusive scientific 
evidence, as well as to ensure tolerance to importations. Paraguay urged the European Union to 
send its full statements  and answers in written to the Committee .

 L'Accord Égypte -Royaume -Uni reproduit autant que possible les effets de l'Accord Égypte -UE, 
qui était entré en vigueur en juin 2004, y compris en établissant des arrangements institutionnels 
entre le Royaume -Uni et l'Égypte sur la base des structures existantes (comme le Conseil 
d'association) qui permet la gestion courante et la mise à jour de l'Accord.  
 
 Par conséquent,  étant donné que  l'Accord de  l'OMC sur la facilitation des échanges  avait été 
conclu à l'occasion de la Conférence ministérielle de Bali en 2013  et était entré en vigueur le 
22 février  2017, les questions relatives à l'AFE de l'OMC ne faisaient pas partie de l'Accord 
Égypte -UE. 
 
1.2.  Paragraph e 3.55: "[…] l'assistance peut être refusée ou subordonnée au respect de 
certaines conditions ou prescriptions, lorsqu'une Partie estime qu'une assistance au titre 
du protocole : a) est susceptible de porter atteinte à la souveraineté de la Partie à laquelle 
une assistance a été demandée au titre du protocole ; b) est susceptible de porter atteinte 
à l'ordre public, à la sécurité ou à d'autres intérêts essentiels, en particulier dans les cas 
visés à l'article 10 2) du protocole n° 5 incorporé ; ou d'e ntraîner la divulgation d'un secret 
industriel, commercial ou professionnel (article 9 du protocole n° 5 incorporé) ". 
 En ce qui concerne la coopération administrative, y a -t-il eu des cas relevant des  
sections a) ou b)?  
 
Réponse conjointe des Parties  
 
 À ce jour, il n'y a pas eu de cas de refus d'assistance ou de coopération relevant des cas visés 
aux sections a) ou b) de l'article 9 du protocole no 5 incorporé.
