the Secretariat, within 90 days after the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement for it, its rules of origin, judicial decisions, and administrative rulings of general application relating to rules 
of origin in effect on that date.  If by inadvertence a rule of origin has not been provided, the 
Member concerned shall provide it immediately afte r this fact becomes known. Article 5.2 of the 
Agreement provides, moreover, that during the period referred to in Article 2, Members introducing modifications, other than de minimis  modifications, to their rules of origin or 
introducing new rules of origin, shall publish a notice to that effect at least 60 days before the 
entry into force of the modified or new rule in such a manner as to enable interested parties to become acquainted with the intention to modify a rule of origin or to introduce a new rule of 
origin, unless exceptional circumstances arise or threaten to arise for a Member.

Members shall provide to the Secretariat as soon as possible their existing or new preferential 
rules of origin, including a listing of the preferen tial arrangements to which they apply, judicial 
decisions, and administrative rulings of general application relating to their preferential rules of origin. In this respect, the Committee on Rules of Origin further agreed that notifications made to 
the Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) or to the Committee on Trade and 
Development (CTD) could also suffice to discharge Members' notification obligations under the 
Agreement on Rules of Origin (G/RO/M/59).  As a result, the Committee agreed that notifications 
which had initially been received by the CRTA or the CTD should also be circulated by the 
Secretariat to the CRO. The information regarding such notifications, including related to 
preferential rules of origin, can, in addition, be  retrieved through the WTO data base of regional 
trade agreements (http://rtais.wto.org) or in the WTO data base of preferential trade agreements 
(http://ptadb.wto.org).

The government of Austria is pledging to contribute EUR 200,000 (CHF 242,600) to the Doha 
Development Agenda Global Trust Fund (DDAGTF) for 2014 to finance a wide range of trade-
related technical assistance activities to help developing and least-developed countries to participate effectively in the Doha round of negotiations.  WTO’s Trade-related technical assistance

 "Austria's regular contributions are important to help developing and least-developed countries 
strengthen their trade capacity and better integrat e into the global economy. I welcome this new 
donation,” declared WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo.  
Austrian Vice-Chancellor and Federal Minister of Science, Research and Economy, Reinhold

is a strong expression of Austria's commitment to support developing countries in expanding their 
trade capacities, facilitate access to new markets and integrate into regional and global value chains." 
 
Since 2002, Austria has donated to WTO's various Trust Funds a total of EUR 3,130,000 (CHF 3,780,000).
