TO THE COUNCIL FO R TRADE IN GOODS 
 
1.  The Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures (hereinafter "the Agreement") which entered 
into force on 1 January 1995, establishes disciplines on users of import licensing systems with the 
principal objective of ensuring that the procedures applied for granting import licences do not in themselves restrict trade. It aims to simplify, clarify and minimize the administrative requirements necessary to obtain import licences. 
 
2.  The Committee on Import Licensing was established to afford Members the opportunity of consulting on any matters relating to the operation of the Agreement or the furtherance of its 
objectives. The Committee's Rules of Procedure, which were approved by the Council for Trade in 
Goods, are contained in document G/L/147.  
3.  All Members of the WTO are ipso facto  members of the Committee. Observer governments in 
the General Council of the WTO have Observer status in the Committee. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer status in the Committee.  
4.  The focus of this report is on the period since the Committee's last annual report (G/L/1011), 
i.e. 30 October 2012 - 4 October 2013 (hereinafter "the review period"). During the review period, the Committee held two meetings on 22 April and [4] October 2013 (G/LIC/M/37 and

its meeting on 22 April 2013, the Committee took no te of the nomination of Mr. Lu Xiankung 
(China) as Chairperson of the Committee for the current year and elected him by acclamation. At 
that meeting, the Committee elected as Vice-Chairperson for the current year, Mr. Filipe 
Ramalheira (Portugal). Pursuant to Committee's Rules of Procedure, they took  office at the end of 
that meeting.
