Ministerial Conference  
Eleventh Session  
Buenos Aires, 10 -13 December 2017  Original: English  
 
STATEMENT BY H.E. MR  VLADIMÍR BÄRTL  
DEPUTY MINISTER  
CZECH REPUBLIC  
First of all, let me express our sincere appreciation to the Government of Argentina for hosting the 
MC11 in this beautiful country and for the hospitality of Argentine people. I would particularly like 
to thank you, Madame Chair, for all your efforts in the lead -up to the conference and for your 
tireless advocacy of the multilateral trading system.  
At the beginning, the Czech Republic would like to associate itself with the statement of the 
European Union presented earlier by Commissioner Malmström.  
My delegation came to Buenos Aires with one basic message: we are here to defend and foster 
multilateral trading system with WTO at its centre.  
For more than two decades, it has served as a foundation for trading relations. And while it has 
certainly not been perfect, it has served its main purpose.  
It has : 
 raised prosperi ty through trade and investment;  
 prevented trade con flicts due to trust that members have put in the common rules and the 
unique dispute settlement system;  
 withstood the test of global economic crisis nine years ago;  
 demonstrated its capability to deliver on its negotiating mandate in Bali and Nairobi. In t his 
context, we welcome coming into force of the Trade Facilitation Agreement this year.  
However, we can no longer take the WTO for granted. It is indeed a paradox – as the current 
global economic outlook improves, the WTO seems to be challenged by forces  other than 
economic.  
The Czech Republic remains committed to the system; we are ready to work on its improvement. 
We can start by seizing the opportunity this Conference offers. My delegation will support all 
realistic and meaningful initiatives and decis ions to be finalized here in the coming few days.  
The latest development suggests a limited scope of possible outcomes in fisheries subsidies, public 
stockholding and export restrictions in Agriculture. These would be important, but not sufficient. 
We shou ld clearly define orientation of our future work, taking on board challenges of the 21st 
century, such as services and e -commerce.   
Only a rules –based, predictable and transparent trading system can further contribute to growth 
and investment, boost new j obs, and have positive impacts on the well -being of all nations in the 
world and especially those less privileged ones.  WT/MIN(17)/ST/34  
 
- 2 - 
 
  I would like to finish by one Argentine proverb – the larger the ship, the larger the storm. I truly 
believe the WTO is large enough to navigate through any storm.

  NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 12.1(A) OF THE AGREEMENT 
ON SAFEGUARDS ON INITIATI ON OF AN INVESTIGATION 
AND THE REASONS FOR IT 
TUNISIA  
(Medium density fibreboard, MDF) 
The following notification, dated 15 October 2014,  is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Tunisia. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Pursuant to Article 12.1(a) of the Agreement on Safeguards, Tunisia hereby notifies the 
Committee on Safeguards of the initiation of a safeguard investigation on imports of medium 
density fibreboard (MDF). 
 1  DATE OF INITIATION OF THE INVESTIGATION 
The investigation was initiated on 30 September 2014 (date of publication of the notice of initiation 
in Official Journal of the Tunisian Republic (JORT) No. 079 of 30 September 2014).  2  PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO  THE INVESTIGATION 
The product subject to the investigation is medium density fibreboard (MDF) classified under the 
following codes of the Tunisian customs tariff: 44111410091, 44111210091 and 44111310096.  
3  REASONS FOR INITIATING THE INVESTIGATION 
The investigation was initiated by the Ministry of Trade and Crafts pursuant to Law No. 98-106 
of 18 December 1998 on import safeguard measures, following a complaint made by the company 
Les Grands Ateliers du Nord  (GAN), in its capacity as the sole producer of medium density 
fibreboard (MDF).  Imports of medium density fibreboard (MDF) rose from 6,193 m
3 (4,954 tonnes) in 2009 to 
31,673 m3 (25,338 tonnes) in 2013, while domestic production fell by 14% and local market sales 
by 25% during the 2012-2013 period.  
The complainant has provided evidence of a declin e in its activity during the 2010-2013 period. 
This period was indeed marked by a drop in pr oduction, sales volume, profitability and market 
share. 
 
A preliminary study of the complaint has been carried out by the relevant services of the Ministry of Trade and Crafts. This study shows evidence to warrant the initiation of a safeguard investigation on the above-mentioned products.

Final rule; technical amendment: Importation of Beef From a Region in A rgentina (Docket 
No. APHIS -2014-0032-0379)  
In a final rule published in the Federal Register on 2 July 2015, and effective on 1 September 
2015, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) amended the regulations governing 
the importation of cer tain animals, meat, and other animal products to allow, under certain 
conditions, the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from a region in Argentina located 
north of Patagonia South and Patagonia North B, referred to as Northern Argentina. Howeve r, we 
inadvertently limited the requirement for the maturation of carcasses to meat derived from 
bovines. Therefore, we are amending the paragraph to remove the limitation.

Ucrania tiene un interés comercial sustancial en la presente diferencia. La cuestión que se tratará

los Estados Unidos. 
 Habida cuenta de lo anterior y de conformidad con el párrafo 11 del artículo 4 del Entendimiento

Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Colombia  (Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) 
 5  DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE 
Decree No. 0834 establishing a new immigration regime in Colombia repeals 
Decree No. 4000 of 1994 in its entirety and further simplifies the visa system. The main changes 
include the following:  
 The new regime provides for only three types of visa (business, temporary and residence) 
whereas the former regime provided for six types. 
 A system for " Permisos de Ingreso y Permanencia" (PIP) ("Permits to enter and stay 
in Colombia")  has been established , which authorizes foreign visitors who enter Colombia 
without the intention of permanently residing there and who do not require a visa, to stay temporarily in the country. 
 The new regime makes it possible to apply for any visa (or change of  visa) while already 
in the country. Previously, applicants requesting their first work visa could only do so from outside the country, and there was no option to change from one visa status to another (e.g. from tourist to business). S/C/N/699

1 Press Release  
 MINISTRY OF HEALTH  
6TH MARCH 2018  
MEDIA RELEASE  
 
 
South African pr ocessed meat banned following update on Listeria contamination  
 
Following confirmation from the Ministry of Health in South Africa that the source of Listeria contamination 
and outbreak is processed meat, the Seychelles Public Health Authority has imposed a temporary ban on all 
ready -to-eat meat products imported from South Africa from Tuesday 6th March 2018.  
 
All processed meat products imported from the country, namely polonies, hams and pre -cooked sausages are 
being removed from the local market. Importers  of processed meat have been formally informed of the ban.  
 
The ban will remain in force until further notice is given by the Seychelles Public Health Authority.  
 
Additionally, the Public Health Authority set up a surveillance programme to test products that are already in 
the country. All tests done so far have n ot revealed listeria in any samples.  
 
The Public Health Authority began monitoring the outbreak of Listeria in South Africa since it was declared 
several months ago. Regular updates have been provided via media outlets and Ministry of Health channels.  
 
Listeriosis is mainly associated with consumption of contaminated Ready -To-Eat (RTE) foods. In line with food 
safety,  the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends following  the  ‘FIVE KEYS to SAFER FOOD’:  
 
 
• Wash hands and surfaces before and during food preparation. Wash hands before and after meals  
• Separate raw and cooked food, and don’t mix utensils and surfaces when preparing food  
• Cook food thoroughly – all bacteria are killed above 70oC  
• Keep food at safe temperatures – Refrigerate food not being co nsumed immediately and reheat 
thoroughly,  
• If kept in the fridge it should be consumed within a few days otherwise freeze below minus 18oC.  
• Use safe water and safe ingredients to prepare food.  
• When travelling to affected areas avoid eating uncooked food and if it is consumed raw, wash 
thoroughly with safe running water before consumption.
