Ministerial Conference 
Ninth Session 
Bali, 3-6 December 2013  Original: English  
 
  STATEMENT CIRCULATED BY THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND 
(As an Observer) 
The Ninth WTO Ministerial Conference in Bali offe rs an opportunity to conclude WTO agreements, 
including on trade facilitation and agriculture, which will deliver tangible economic benefits for 
trade, growth, and jobs in participating countries and for the broader global economy. The International Monetary Fund urges WTO Members to  seize this opportunity, which will also help 
bolster the multilateral trading system. 
 
The trade landscape has weakened again in recent years.  In 2012, real global trade growth 
declined to 2.7 percent, from 6.1 percent in 2011. The IMF projects 2.9 percent growth for 2013, 
with a rebound to 4.9 percent in 2014. The poor cu rrent performance of world trade reflects — and 
helps explain — the weak momentum in global activity.  
 
Concluding Doha is crucial to sustain global trade and economic recovery. The IMF considers that a 
successful conclusion of the Doha Round would contribute to global welfare in two main ways. First, it would have direct benefits through market opening, which according to current estimates could increase global welfare by 0.2 to 1 percent. Second, concluding Doha would boost global 
trade by adding security to trading relationship s and by updating Members’ WTO commitments and 
the multilateral trade rules.  
Progressing on the multilateral agenda in Bali would have immediate benefits and would be a 
stepping stone to conclude the Doha Round. Sign ing a WTO trade facilitation agreement would add 
significant momentum to efforts to increase competitiveness and consumer welfare by cutting 
trade costs, particularly in developing countries. Together with advances in the other areas under 
negotiation, a success here in Bali would contribute to pave the way to completion of the Doha Round.  
The IMF, within the limits of its mandate, will continue working with the WTO and its Members on 
issues of common interest, including to help ensure that the new commitments that an agreement in Bali would bring are supported.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 
INFORMATION FROM MEMBERS 
COMMUNICATION FROM BELIZE 
The following communication, received on 25 March 2013, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Belize. 
 
_______________ 
  1.  The delegation of Belize would like to inform Members on national activities linked to the 
Application of the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Framework. 
2.  At the 55
th WTO SPS Committee meeting held in October 2012, Belize informed Members of 
their experience in the Application of the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Framework in Belize 
which resulted in the identification of eight capacity building options, two of which included animal 
health controls for live cattle exports and animal health and hygiene controls for chicken exports. 
3.  In regards to the animal health controls for live cattle exports we would like to thank the 
Government of Mexico and the European Union for providing both financial and technical 
assistance for the implementation of surveillance programs for bovine tuberculosis and bovine brucellosis, in addition to assistance with the im plementation of the animal identification system. 
A surveillance program is also in place for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. Due to the 
favourable outcome of the implementation of thes e activities, which is yet in its early phase, 
covering at this point only the northern part of Belize, Mexico has allowed for the exportation of two consignments of live cattle from Belize into their country. 
4.  We would like to inform Members that one of the key objectives for the implementation these 
comprehensive surveillance programs is to dete rmine the prevalence of these diseases, thereby 
having the necessary scientific justification to declare the entire country as free of bovine 
tuberculosis and bovine brucellosis in accordance with the OIE standards and guidelines. The 
benefits of having such a status, we believe, w ill further enhance our capacity to access foreign 
markets. 
5.  In the areas of animal health and hygi ene control for chicken exports through a joint 
partnership between the Belize Poultry Association and the Belize Agricultural Health Authority, we 
are happy to inform Members that poultry products are also currently exported. 
6.  It is our objective to continue applying the Multi-Criteria Decisions Analysis Framework as it 
has proved to be a very useful tool in Belize.

NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY MEASURES  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 16 October 2017, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of  the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture lifts the temporary ban on the 
importation of live birds, hatching eggs and one -day old chicks originating from India.  
The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture i ssued the Decision No. 66740 dated 
14 November 2016 (20/2/1438 AH) entitled "Temporary Ban of importation of Live Bird, Hatching 
Egg and One day Old Chick" originating from India, due to the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian 
Influenza (HPAI) in India. Th e Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has subsequently 
issued the Decision No. 1439/1291/3 dated 25 September 2017 (05/01/1439 AH), lifting the 
temporary ban on the importation of live birds, hatching eggs and one -day old chicks originating 
from India.  
Based on OIE reports in the previous three months, HPAI has not been registered in India. In 
compliance with the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code, Chapter 10.4, the risk of importing live 
birds, hatching eggs and one -day old chicks from India is negligible.

La mission permanente du Monténégro auprès de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce présente 
ses compliments à l'OMC – au Comité des marchés publics – et a l'honneur de joindre à la 
présente la lettre du Vice-Premier Ministre et Ministre des affaires étrangères et de l'intégration

Podgorica, le 23 avril 2015 
 
Monsieur,  Comme vous le savez sans doute, des efforts intensifs sont actuellement déployés dans la capitale 
de mon pays, Podgorica, pour préparer et obtenir l'approbation parlementaire nécessaire à la 
présentation de l'instrument d'accession du Monténégro à l'Accord de l'OMC sur les marchés publics (AMP), ceci afin de mener à terme la procéd ure prévue lors de l'adoption de la Décision sur 
l'accession du Monténégro à l'AMP par le Comité des marchés publics le 29 octobre 2014 
(document GPA/124 du 3 novembre 2014).  
Suivant cette procédure, les deux commissions parlementaires pertinentes (la Commission des 
relations internationales et la Commission des lois) ont tout récemment [au début de cette semaine] adopté, sans aucune objection, la prop osition de Loi sur l'accession du Monténégro à 
l'AMP. Malheureusement, il est improbable que la seconde phase de la procédure – l'adoption de la GPA/ACC/MNE/13 
- 2 - 
  Loi par le Parlement réuni en séance plénière – ai t lieu avant la prochaine session parlementaire, 
prévue pour la mi-mai, pour des raisons liées à la procédure parlementaire.  Dans ce contexte, je vous adresse la demande du Monténégro concernant une prorogation, pour 
une durée de deux mois, du délai prévu dans la Décision du Comité de l'OMC du 29 octobre pour la 
présentation de l'instrument d'accession du Monténégro à l'AMP. Je confirme également que mon gouvernement reste très désireux de mener à le ur terme toutes les procédures pertinentes et 
d'acquérir, dans un proche avenir, le statut visé de Partie à l'AMP à part entière.

 TITLE:  Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Identification of Additional Qualifying Renewable 
Fuel Pathways under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program 
 
AGENCY:   Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  
ACTION:  Final rule 
 SUMMARY:  EPA is issuing a final rule identifying additional fuel pathways that EPA has determined 
meet the biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel or cellulosic biofuel lifecycle greenhouse gas 
(GHG) reduction requirements specified in Clean Air Act section 211(o), the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program, as amended by the En ergy Independence and Security Act of 2007 
(EISA). This final rule describes EPA's evaluation of biofuels produced from camelina (Camelina 
sativa) oil and energy cane; it also includes an evaluation of renewable gasoline and renewable 
gasoline blendstocks, and clarifies our definition  of renewable diesel. The inclusion of these 
pathways creates additional opportunity and flexibility for regulated parties to comply with the 
advanced and cellulosic requirements of EISA and provides the certainty necessary for investments 
to bring these biofuels into commercial production from these new feedstocks.  
We are not finalizing at this time determinations on biofuels produced from giant reed (Arundo 
donax) or napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) or biodiesel produced from esterification. We 
continue to consider the issues concerning these proposals, and will make a final decision on them at a later time. 
 
DATES: This rule is effective on 6 May 2013.
