ACCESSIONS 
Director-General Azevêdo launc hes Global Seminar on WTO 
Accessions  
WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo launched on 23 September 2013 the first Global Seminar 
on WTO Accessions, a week-long event at th e WTO bringing together officials from 17 
governments seeking to join the WTO. "The even t provides an important platform for dialogue 
between WTO members and acceding governments and for capacity building in this highly important area for the future of the WTO," said DG Azevêdo. 
 
"The process of acceding to the WTO helps to underpin domestic reforms essential for the promotion of economic growth an d development. Through this Global Seminar, the WTO is pleased 
to provide the opportunity for acceding governments to take stock of their accession process and 
to forge ahead with joining the WTO," said Mr Azevêdo.  
The main objectives of the Global Seminar, taking place from 23 to 27 September 2013, are to 
strengthen the expertise of government offici als negotiating entry into the WTO, to share 
experiences and best-practices, to review and consolidate the results of the 31 concluded 
accessions since the establishment of the WTO and to ensure that the results obtained by WTO 
members since their accession strengthen the rules-based multilateral trading system.   
The seminar provides a platform for discussions be tween both capital and Geneva-based officials 
from the acceding governments and officials from WTO members. Speakers include expert 
negotiators and WTO specialists.  A high point of the week's programme is the final Working Party 
meeting on the accession of Yemen on 26 September. 
 Of the 31 members that have joined the WTO since 1995, six are least-developed countries. Four 
completed their accession in 2011 - the record year for WTO accessions - and 24 governments are 
currently undertaking accession negotiations.  
The Global Seminar is organized jointly by the Accessions Division and the Institute for Training 
and Technical Cooperation.   
The programme and the list of participants are available here.

 TÍTULO: Exención parcial de las obligaciones de notificación de información química adicional para determinadas sustancias 
ORGANISMO: Agencia de Protección del Medio Ambiente (EPA) 
MEDIDA: norma definitiva RESUMEN: la EPA modifica la lista de sustancias químicas parcialmente exentas de las obligaciones 
de notificación de información adicional previstas en la norma de información química (Chemical 
Data Reporting -CDR-). La Agencia ha determinado, considerando toda la información disponible sobre las sustancias incluidas en la norma definitiva, que la información sobre su elaboración y uso 
prevista en la norma CDR tiene poco interés actualmente. La EPA basa esta conclusión en varios 
factores: el riesgo de efectos negativos para la salud o el medio ambiente, la necesidad de la información sobre elaboración y uso prevista en la norma CDR, y la disponibilidad de otras fuentes de información sobre elaboración y uso. 
FECHAS: la norma definitiva entró en vigor el 29 de marzo de 2016.

 TÍTULO: Programa de ahorro de energía - Ensayos de determinados tipos de lámparas para servicio general de iluminación 
ORGANISMO: Oficina de Eficiencia Energética y Energía Renovable del Departamento de Energía 
MEDIDA: Aviso complementario de una propuesta de reglamentación RESUMEN: en el aviso complementario de una propuesta de reglamentación (SNOPR) notificado se 
propone establecer ensayos de determinados tipos de lámparas para servicio general de 
iluminación, en el marco del actual proceso de normalización para el ahorro de energía. En particular, se proponen nuevos ensayos para determinar la capacidad lumínica inicial, la potencia 
de entrada, la eficacia de las lámparas, el factor de potencia y el consumo en modo espera de este 
tipo de lámparas, distintas de las lámparas de diodos luminiscentes integrados (LED), de las lámparas fluorescentes compactas (CFL) y de las lámparas de incandescencia para servicio general (GSIL). En el aviso (SNOPR) se revisan los ensayos propuestos anteriormente para este tipo de 
lámparas, remitiendo a la norma LM-79-08 de la Illuminating Engineering Society  (IES) para 
ensayos de lámparas LED no integradas. El Depa rtamento de Energía (DOE) propone igualmente 
aclaraciones sobre las referencias a los actuales ensayos y planes de muestreo para determinar los 
valores representados de las lámparas LED integradas, las CFL y las GSIL. 
FECHAS: El DOE aceptará observaciones y datos sobre este aviso complementario hasta el 19 de 
agosto de 2016 inclusive. Más información en el artículo V " Public participation ".
