ON THE INTERPRETATION OF ARTICLE XVII  
TUNISIA  
The following communication, dated 1 June 2 016, is being circulated at the request of the 
Permanent  Mission of Tunisia . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The Permanent Mission of Tunisia at Geneva presents its compliments to the Secretariat of the 
World Trade Organization and has the honour to attach herewith Tunisia's notifications for the 
years 2011-2014 concerning State trading enterprises, pursuant to Article XVII:4(a) of the 
GATT  1994 and paragraph 1 of the Understanding on the Interpretation of Article XVII .

I. State trading enterprise  
 
A. Tunisian Trade Board (OCT)  
 
B. Products covered : 
 
White sugar    17019990971   Green tea   09022000008  
Black tea   09024000000   Green coffee  09011100000  
 
II. Reasons for maintaining a State trading enterprise  
 
Under Decree -Law No. 62-6 of 3 April 1 962, th e OCT is most notably responsible for supplying 
Tunisia with widely consumed food products that are quoted on the relevant exchanges . These 
products are chiefly tea, coffee and sugar . 
 
III. Description of the functioning of the enterprise  
 
A. The OCT is en trusted by the Government with the responsibility for importing basic fo od 
products, notably sugar, tea and  coffee and occasionally other products in the case of local 
production shortages . 
 
Locally, it engages in wholesale distribution . Retailing of these  products is by private traders . 
 
B. Since its formation in 1962 under Decree -Law No. 62-6 of 3 April 1 962, the OCT has been 
responsible for ensuring the country's regular supply of primary consumer goods . 
 
Its role has, h owever, evolved over the course of  time. Under the Order  of 30 April 1 989, which 
established lists of the imports with fluctuating prices assigned to the OCT, it opened imports of  
several products in which it had previously traded, such as black pepper, rice, cocoa and white 
beans , to the private sector . G/STR/N/15/TUN • G/STR/N/16/TUN  
- 2 - 
 This disengagement policy has gained momentum  with the liberalization of the national economy 
and as private traders take over and control import operations . 
 
The OCT is a State enterprise constituted as a non -administrative public establis hment . Its 
organization and functioning are governed by  Decree -Law No. 62-6 of 3 April 1 962. 
 
It was created and is maintained to ensure a regular supply of primary consumer goods, to avoid 
stock shortages, and to stabilize prices of commodities the intern ational quotations  for which are 
subject to wide fluctuations . 
 
C. Private traders are free to import sugar, coffee and tea, as well as other occasional products, 
under current legislation . However, owing to the financial significance  of such imports, 
international market access conditions , fluctuating exchange rates and little  developed local 
traditions in this area, private traders do not seem particularly attracted to the activity . 
 
D. The OCT's imports are carried out through calls for tenders . The tend ering and procurement 
procedures comply with the competition rules under the government procurement regulations 
in force. 
 
The quantities imported are determined on the basis of estimates of annual domestic consumption 
and the maintenance of  a strategic st ockpile . 
 
E. None. 
 
F. The selling price of these products is determined by the Sta te pursuant to Law No. 91-64 of 
29 July 1 991 on competition and pricing . 
 
G. The OCT has not concluded any long -term contracts for the import ation of these products . 
 
IV. Statistical tables (see below ) 
 
V. Additional information  
 
The OCT also engages in the following activities : 
 
 promoting commercial and industrial partnerships ; and 
 preparing various studies to improve distribution channels .

B. Products covered:  
 
Crude oil   2709009  
Natural gas   2710002  
Propane   2711191  
 
II. Reasons for maintaining a State trading enterprise  
 
The ETAP, established under Law No. 72-22 of 1 0 March 1 972, is responsible, inter alia , for 
supplying Tunisia  with petroleum products . 
 
III. Description of the functioning of the enterprise  
 
(1) The ETAP imports crude oil and natural gas . It centralizes all crude oil and natural gas 
import activities in order to meet the needs of the Tunisian Refining Industries Corporation 
(Société T unisienne des I ndustries de Raffinage , STIR) and the Tunisian Electricity and 
Gas Corporation ( Société Tunisienne d' Electricité et du Gaz, STEG) . G/STR/N/15/TUN • G/STR/N/16/TUN  
- 4 - 
  
The ETAP also exports : 
 
A. the State/ETAP share of crude o il and condensate, once the needs of the STIR refinery have 
been met;  
B. propane from the Hasdrubal oil and gas field;  
C. condensate from the Gabès plant for the STEG ; and 
D. crude oil from certain private operators . 
 
This procedure ensures continuity of s upply, manage ment of the country's resources and optimal 
utilization of existing infrastructure, especially ports and storage . It also stabilizes prices (for 
products with highly volatile prices ). 
 
(2) The ETAP has a monopoly on the import ation of crude oi l and natural gas to supply the 
domestic market and an export monopoly on the State's share of crude oil . 
 
It was created and is maintained to rebuild national oil reserves, to ensure a regular supply of 
energy to the country under the best possible price and security conditions, and to carry out 
research, provide training and intervene where necessary in any oil -related operations . 
 
The law under which it was created and is maintained provides for State control exercised through 
the Ministry of Industry . 
 
ETAP's partners in the  crude oil  concessions sell their shares  and ETAP sometimes purchases these  
shares  through  the intermediary of a marketing board . 
 
Crude oil and natural gas import volumes are  determined in relation to domestic needs, in 
accordance wi th the programmes established  by the  STIR and STEG under the purview of the 
Directorate -General for Energy.  
 
Export volumes are linked to  production and the State/ETAP share s, taking into account the 
amount of  Tunisian c rude oil  required by the refinery . 
 
(3) Import and export prices depend on  international market price levels . 
 
Prices for supplying local operators are fixed by the State . 
 
Crude oil  export  and import operations are carried out  through international consultations with 
companies on a list dra wn up by a n internal list review  commission and approved by the 
company's internal procurement control commission (Commission Interne de Contrô le des Marchés 
de l'Entreprise , CICME) , pursuant to a  hydrocarbons marketing procedure based on  
Decrees  No. 89-877 of 5 July 1 989 and No. 2014-1039 of 13 March 2 014. 
 
(4) The types of contract are as follows : 
 
A. Spot contracts for the import ation of foreign crude oil and annual contracts for the 
import ation of Libyan crude oil;  
B. a contract for the import ation of natural gas, concluded with Algeria's National Corporation 
for the Research, Production, Transport, Processing and Marketing of Hydrocarbons 
(Société  Nationale pour la Recherche, la Production, le Transport, la Transformation et 
la Commercialisation des Hyd rocarbures , SONATRACH ) until 2019;  
C. annual contracts for the export ation of propane and condensate (for STEG) ; and 
D. spot contracts for the export ation of crude oil . 
 
The ETAP has negotiated a long -term contract with the Algerian  company  SONATRACH for the 
importation of natural gas  for the period  1997 to 2019.  
 
The ETAP currently exports  crude oil  under  spot contracts and propane and condensate from the 
Gabès plant under  annual contra cts. 
 
(5) The Tunisian hydrocarbons market is regulated . 
 G/STR/N/15/TUN • G/STR/N/16/TUN

G. TUNISIAN CENTRAL PHARMACY (PHARMACIE CENTRALE DE TUNISIE , PCT)  
 
I. State trading enterprise  
 
A. Tunisian Central Pharmacy (PCT)  
 
B. The PCT deals chiefly with imports of the medicines  and pharmaceuticals listed in 
HS Chapter  30. 
 
II. Reasons for maintaining a State trading enterprise  
 
A. The PCT, which was established and organized under the Decree -Law of 1 6 January 1 961, as 
amended by the Law of 2 6 November 1 990 and the Decree of 2 0 April 1991, is responsible for : 
 
 Providing the Tunisian market with a regular supply of medicines, vaccines and 
pharmaceutical products ; 
 covering domestic consumption of such products through the grouping of purchases, 
enhanced  competition and competitive p rices; and 
 controlling and ensuring the price stability of medicine s, which constitute one of the key 
components of health spending . 
B. An import monopoly is granted by the State as part of its constitutional duty (Article 5 of the 
Constitution), which con sists primarily of securing the values of solidarity and preserving human 
dignity . Medicines are strategic health products in terms of both economics (prices) and 
therapeutic effectiveness . The concern that led to the establishment and maintenance of this 
monopoly was the need to build up critical volume to enable a small country such as Tunisia to 
negotiate with major laboratories prices that were both affordable for its population and 
compatible with the management of import channels, in order to ensure t he allocation of national 
resources to key areas . 
 
III. Description of the functioning of the enterprise  
 
A. The PCT has a monopoly on imports of medicines and pharmaceutical products, the list of 
which  is established in a joint order of the Ministers of t he Economy and of Health . 
 
B. The monopoly on imports of medicines was assigned to the PCT by Law No. 90-105 of 
26 November 1 990. The monopoly on vaccines, serums and blood products was assigned as from 
1 January 2 006 (Law No. 75-2005 of 4 August 2 005). 
 
The PCT distributes medicines, vaccines, serums, blood products and pharmaceutical products to 
wholesale distributors at the same selling price . G/STR/N/15/TUN • G/STR/N/16/TUN  
- 19 - 
 It is the exclusive supplier of the hospital sector . 
 
The PCT is a State enterprise constituted as a n industrial  and commercial public establishment, the 
organization and functioning of which are governed by Law No. 90-105 of 26  November 1 990 and 
Decree No. 91-555 of 2 0 April 1 991. 
 
It was created and is maintained to ensure a regular supply of products to the Tunis ian market, to 
avoid stock shortages of medicines, to form a strategic stockpile (in accordance with the Minister 
of Health circular dated 2 9 August 2 008) and to guarantee  Tunisian consumers the same  prices 
throughout the country . 
 
The law under which the PCT was created provides for supervision exercised by the Ministry 
of Health . 
 
C. There are no private imports of the medicines and pharmaceuticals covered by the 
PCT's  monopoly . 
 
D. The PCT uses the following procurement methods : 
 
 calls for tenders (natio nal and international)  primarily for public -sector products which 
generally result in multi -year contracts ; 
 negotiated purchases (mainly for private -sector products ). 
The volume of imports is determined by domestic consumption to form strategic stocks, thu s 
allowing for domestic needs to be met for a period of three to six months depending on the 
strategic and/or vital nature of the product . 
 
E. The PCT no longer exports products (since 2007 ). 
 
F. The prices of medicines are fixed (subject to the approval o f the Minister responsible 
for trade ). 
 
The margins for each distribution level are set by the State . Public prices are therefore 
standardized and identical throughout the country . 
 
The prices of vital products for the retail pharmacy sector ( community pha rmacies) are fixed  and 
the PCT covers, using its own funds, any losses and/or shortfalls caused by currency fluctuations . 
 
Medicines are supplied to  the hospital sector at cost plus the PCT's margin . 
 
G. The PCT negotiates forward  contracts with its suppli ers for the supply of the Tunisian market 
with medicines and pharmaceutical products . 
 
H. The Tunisian medicines and pharmaceuticals market is divided into two sectors : a hospital 
sector, which is characterized by mainly local production but in which the P CT is exclusively 
responsible for distribution to public bodies ; and a retail pharmacy sector (community 
pharmacies) , in which just over 50 % of needs are met by local production and the PCT has a 
monopoly solely  on imported products for wholesale distribut ion.
