TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 
Germany donates EUR 1 million to  help developing countries 
participate in Doha Round 
The government of Germany is contributing EUR 1 million (CHF 1,042,478) to the WTO’s Doha 
Development Agenda Global Trust Fund (DDAGTF) in 2015 to help developing countries and least-
developed countries (LDCs) improve their participation in the Doha Round, the latest round of trade negotiations among WTO members.   
WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo said: “Germa ny's new donation is very important - it will 
boost our technical assistance activities which aim to help developing and least-developed countries participate in the world economy. I welcome Germany's continued generosity."  
Germany's ambassador Joachim Rücker said: "Germany believes that trade continues to be a 
critical engine for sustainable economic growth , development, and poverty reduction. Germany 
takes pride in supporting the excellent work of the WTO by providing technical assistance and training to economies at different stages of development, especially the world’s poorest countries. With its donation of EUR 1 million to the Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund for 2015, 
Germany is showing its strong commitment and determination to assist developing and least-
developed countries in participating in the multilateral trading system. Germany’s contribution is a concrete expression of our continued commitment to create inclusive growth through trade and to help combat poverty and foster sustainable development." 
 
Since 2000, Germany has donated EUR 23,020,402 (CHF 24,015,205) to WTO trust funds.

  NOTIFICATION UNDER DECISION A.4 CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION 
OF THE AGREEMENT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE VII 
OF THE GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE 1994 
NOTIFICATION OF VALUATION OF CARRIER MEDIA 
CHILE 
The following communication, dated 7 February 2014,  is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Chile. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
With reference to the Decision of the Committee on Customs Valuation on the Valuation of Carrier Media Bearing Software for Data Processing Equipment, we hereby inform the Committee, 
in accordance with paragraph 3 of that Decision that the date of its application by Chile 
was 14 March 2006.  
Pursuant to Decision 4.1 of the WTO Committee on Customs Valuation, the regulations governing 
the valuation of carrier media bearing software for data processing equipment are set forth in Chapter II, Subchapter II, No. 13 (Customs Valuation of Goods: Special Cases) of Exempt Resolution No. 1300, more spec ifically in the following subparagraphs: 
 
- 13.1 In determining the customs value of imported carrier media bearing data 
or instructions, only the cost or value of the carrier medium itself shall be taken into 
account. The customs value shall not, therefore,  include the cost or value of the software 
it contains, which shall be distinguished from the cost or value of the hardware. 
 
The expression "carrier medium" shall be und erstood not to include integrated circuits, 
semi-conductors or similar devices or articles incorporating such circuits or devices. The expression "data or instructions" shall be understood not to include sound, cinematic or video recordings.  
- 13.2 However, the above valuation standard shall not apply to "basic software", i.e. software 
that is essential to the functioning of a piece of data processing equipment, since the value 
of such software is included in the price of  the computer, and for the purposes of customs 
valuation, is considered to be part of the one and the same good.
