Comité de Restricciones por Balanza de Pagos   
 
  INFORME ANUAL (2015) 
1.  El presente informe ha sido preparado de conformidad con lo dispuesto en el procedimiento 
para una revista general anual de las actividades de la OMC y para la presentación de informes en 
la OMC (WT/L/105). 
2.  A raíz de la notificación presentada por Ucrania el 20 de enero de 2015 (véanse los 
documentos WT/BOP/N/78 y WT/BOP/N/78/Add.1 de la OMC), sobre la aplicación de medidas por 
motivos de balanza de pagos, el Comité celebró consultas con ese país los días 28 de abril y 11 de 
junio de 2015, bajo la presidencia del Embajador Bertrand de Crombrugghe de Picquendaele (Bélgica), con arreglo al mandato que figura en el artículo XII del GATT de 1994 y al Entendimiento relativo a las disposiciones del GATT de 1994 en materia de balanza de pagos. La 
medida entró en vigor el 25 de febrero de 2015. La mayoría de los Miembros reconocieron las 
dificultades de balanza de pagos de Ucrania y consideraban que esta había aplicado la medida de forma compatible con las disposiciones de la OMC, pero instaron a Ucrania a que eliminara el 
recargo cuanto antes. A ese respecto, el Comité tomó nota del compromiso de Ucrania de 
suspender la medida a finales de 2015 a más tardar, tal como había convenido con el FMI, y señaló que las proyecciones en el marco del programa del FMI no indicaban en esos momentos 
que fuera necesario por motivos de balanza de pagos continuar aplicando el recargo más allá 
de 2015. Un Miembro consideraba que la medida de Ucrania no podía justificarse al amparo de las disposiciones del Acuerdo sobre la OMC en materia de balanza de pagos. El Comité señaló que no era posible llegar a un consenso, por lo que convino en dar por terminadas sus consultas. El 
informe sobre las consultas se distribuyó con la signatura WT/BOP/R/110 y se remitió al Consejo 
General para su adopción. 
3.  A raíz de la notificación del Ecuador presentada el 2 de abril de 2015 sobre la introducción 
de una sobretasa arancelaria con carácter temporal por motivos de balanza de pagos por un 
período de hasta 15 meses (véanse los do cumentos WT/BOP/N/79, WT/BOP/N/79/Add.1 
y WT/BOP/N/79/Add.2 de la OMC), el Comité celebró consultas con el Ecuador los días 29 y 30 de 
junio y 16 de octubre de 2015, de conformidad con el mandato que figura en la sección B del 
artículo XVIII del GATT de 1994 y el Entendimiento relativo a las disposiciones del GATT de 1994 en materia de balanza de pagos. La medida entró en vigor el 11 de marzo de 2015. Después de la reunión de octubre, el Ecuador presentó un cronograma de desmantelamiento de la medida 
(WT/BOP/G/23), y ofreció disminuir en 5 puntos porcentuales el nivel de la sobretasa del 45% en 
enero de 2016, eliminar la sobretasa del 5% en  abril de 2016, y eliminar progresivamente las 
sobretasas restantes del 15%, el 25% y el 40% a partir de abril 2016, hasta llegar al 0% en junio 
de 2016. El Comité tiene previsto continuar celebrando consultas con el Ecuador en febrero 
de 2016.

PFAS que hayan completado el nuevo proceso de revisión para sustancias químicas establecido por la TSCA pero que no se hayan empezado a producir o a importar y establecer que el 
procesamiento de todos los PFAS incluidos en la lista es un nuevo uso significativo. La EPA también 
establece una norma definitiva SNUR para los carboxilatos de perfluoroalquilos de cadena larga (LCPFAC): la fabricación (incluida la importación) y el procesamiento como parte de alfombras o para el tratamiento de alfombras (por ejemplo, el tratamiento posterior a la comercialización) es 
un nuevo uso significativo, excepto en el caso de dos de estas sustancias químicas como 
tensioactivos en productos para limpieza de alfombras. Para el SNUR notificado, la EPA también establece una excepción que no se aplica a en el caso de personas que importan o transforman las 
sustancias químicas LCPAC como componentes de un artículo. Las personas sujetas a estas 
normas SNUR deben presentar a la EPA el aviso pertinente al menos 90 días antes de iniciar la actividad de que se trate. El aviso obligatorio pe rmitirá que la EPA evalúe el uso previsto y, si 
fuera necesario, prohíba o limite esa actividad antes de su inicio. 
FECHAS: La norma definitiva entra en vigor el 23 de diciembre de 2013. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR- 2013-10-22/html/2013-24651.htm
