_______________ 
   L'Union européenne et ses États membres souhaitent faire savoir qu'un certain nombre 
d'accords de libre-échange précédemment en vi gueur, qui avaient été notifiés au titre du 
paragraphe 7 a) de l'article XXIV du GATT et du paragraphe 7 a) de l'article V de l'AGCS, seront abrogés à la suite de l'adhésion de la République de Croatie à l'Union européenne, le 
1
er juillet 2013.

membres de l'époque, d'une part, et la Croatie, d'autre part, prendra fin à la date d'adhésion de la 
Croatie à l'Union européenne. 
 Les échanges entre toutes ces parties seront désormais régis par le Traité d'adhésion de la 
Croatie à l'Union européenne, et donc par le Traité sur l'Union européenne et le Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne.

 De plus, en tant que nouveau membre de l'Un ion européenne et conformément au Traité sur 
l'Union européenne et au Traité sur le fonctionne ment de l'Union européenne, la Croatie deviendra 
ou est sur le point de devenir partie aux accords de libre-échange et d'union douanière que l'Union 
européenne a conclus avec des tierces parties. Le nouveau membre de l'UE est obligé de dénoncer 
tous les accords de libre-échange conclus avec des tierces parties à compter du 1er juillet 2013 au 
plus tard (la liste des accords dénoncés figure à l'annexe 1).

Ministerial Conference 
Tenth Session 
Nairobi, 15-18 December 2015  Original: English  
 
STATEMENT BY H.E. MR PETER BR ŇO 
AMBASSADOR, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE TO THE WTO 
SLOVAK REPUBLIC  
At the outset allow me to express my sincere gratitude to our host for the excellent organization of 
the 10th Ministerial Conference. 
 Stable, predictable and transparent multilateral trading system based on WTO rules has always 
played an instrumental role for the development of  the Slovak economy, which is highly dependent 
on foreign trade and access to raw materials and energy resources.  
Slovakia, as a founding member of this organisation, and today as a Member of the EU, has been 
traditionally supporting the WTO as a key forum for trade negotiations, for eliminating trade barriers, for establishing international trade rules, for monitoring trade flows and fair trade as well 
as for settling trade disputes. We strongly supported ambitious and comprehensive outcome of the 
DDA negotiations.  Today, we are meeting here, yet another time, to find a possible solution to DDA saga. Proposed 
package is modest to say at least and differences in positions and priorities of Member States 
remain substantial.  
In this light, we believe, it is time to recalibrate  our future work program, what does not mean to 
surrender any of its principal components. However, to seek approaches leading to real progress seems to be inevitable.  The world economy and global trading system has changed significantly 
since 2001. Existing WTO rules should be further developed and improved in order to better 
address the reality and needs of the current worl d trade. We should therefore look beyond the 
DDA mandate and should also tackle such importan t elements related to global trade as digital 
economy and e-commerce, investments, export restrictions or other emerging issues not 
addressed within the WTO framework yet. 
 Active and constructive participation and strong sense of responsibility is needed from all WTO 
Members States, reflecting their respective posi tions in the world economy and their different 
capacities to contribute to the system.  
We believe our collective wisdom will help us to agree on such a post-Nairobi working program 
that will preserve WTO as a modern and functioning international organization/forum for developing, monitoring and enforcing global trading rules. Failure is not an option!

 Esta carta atañe a una comunicación distribuida a los Miembros de la OMC el 7 de mayo de 2013 (WT/DS458/1, G/L/1026, IP/D/33, G/TBT/D/43) con el título Australia - Determinadas 
medidas relativas a las marcas de fábrica o de comercio, indicaciones geográficas y otras 
prescripciones de empaquetado genérico aplicables a los productos de tabaco y al empaquetado de esos productos , mediante la cual Cuba solicita la celebración de consultas con Australia.

prosecución de políticas encaminadas a afrontar los efectos negativos del consumo de tabaco 
sobre la salud, y ha adoptado medidas a ese respecto. Al mismo tiempo, la Unión Europea es el primer importador mundial de tabaco en rama, importa cantidades importantes de tabaco 
elaborado, y es el mayor exportador de cigarros (puros) y cigarrillos. 
  A la luz de lo anterior, y de conformidad con el párrafo 11 del artículo 4 del Entendimiento 
relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de diferencias , la Unión 
Europea notifica por la presente al Gobierno de Australia, al Gobierno de Cuba y al Órgano de

Carta del Dr. Shin-Yuan Lai, Representante Permanente de la delegación del  
Territorio Aduanero Distinto de Taiwán, Penghu, Kinmen y Matsu en Ginebra 
 
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 27 de junio de 2014 y dirigida al Presidente del Grupo 
de Trabajo sobre la Adhesión de Kazajstán a la OMC, Excmo. Sr. Vesa Himanen, se distribuye a 
petición de la delegación del Territorio Aduanero  Distinto de Taiwán, Penghu, Kinmen y Matsu. 
 
_______________ 
Muchas gracias por su fax de fecha 13 de junio de 2014, así como por el documento 
WT/ACC/KAZ/81 de la OMC, de 25 de junio de 2014, y el Boletín de noticias sobre adhesiones de la OMC de 26 de junio de 2014 en relación con la adhesión de Kazajstán. 
Mi delegación desea hacer una observación muy importante sobre la cuestión del acceso a 
los mercados con respecto a los tres documentos mencionados supra , concretamente en lo que se 
refiere a la afirmación de que "todas las negociaciones […] sobre el acceso a los mercados de bienes y servicios […] finalizaron en 2012". 
Quisiera señalar a su atención el hecho de que el "Memorándum de Entendimiento relativo 
a las negociaciones bilaterales sobre servicios entre la República de Kazajstán y el Territorio Aduanero Distinto de Taiwán, Penghu, Kinmen y Mats u en el marco de la adhesión de la República 
de Kazajstán a la Organización Mundial del Comercio" fue firmado por ambas partes en junio 
de 2013. En un párrafo de dicho Memorándum se dice claramente que "las negociaciones 
bilaterales sobre el acceso a los mercados de mercancías entre la delegación del Territorio Aduanero Distinto de Taiwán, Penghu, Kinmen y Matsu y la delegación de la República de Kazajstán todavía no han finalizado, y se informará al Director General de la OMC de su conclusión 
a su debido tiempo". 
Por consiguiente, mi delegación desea dejar totalmente claro que nuestras negociaciones 
bilaterales con Kazajstán aún no han concluido. 
Dicho esto, debo añadir que agradecemos sumamente la excelente y ardua labor que 
realizan usted y la Secretaría para facilitar la adhesión de Kazajstán. Mi delegación sigue en 
contacto con Kazajstán para continuar manteniendo conversaciones y aclarando cuestiones de acceso a los mercados, y comunicaremos a la Secretaría los resultados finales en el momento oportuno.

agreed that notifications which had initially been received by the CRTA or the CTD should also be 
circulated by the Secretariat to the CRO. The in formation regarding such notifications, including 
related to preferential rules of origin, can, in a ddition, be retrieved through the WTO data base of 
regional trade agreements ( http://rtais.wto.org ) or in the WTO data base of preferential trade 
agreements ( http://ptadb.wto.org ).

1. Designación del producto:   Peras 
2. Número de la partida arancelaria: 08083090 
3. Nivel de activación:

4. Volumen de las importaciones 
que entren en el territorio en 
el período en curso:    9.343,7 toneladas 
5. Período de aplicación:     del 26 de noviembre al 31 de diciembre de 2014 
SALVAGUARDIA ESPECIAL BASADA EN EL VOLUMEN: 
ANEXO 1 AL CUADRO MA.3 
Datos necesarios para el cálculo del nivel de activación 
Importaciones en los tres años precedentes: 2010:  9.504,0 toneladas 
  2011:  9.124,1 toneladas 
  2012:  8.055,3 toneladas   Media:  8.894,5 toneladas  
Se tiene en cuenta la penetración de las importaciones: 
 Consumo en los tres años precedentes:  2010:  184.257,7 toneladas 
  2011:  159.000,1 toneladas 
  2012:  145.836,8 toneladas   Media:  163.031,5 toneladas 
 
Cálculo del nivel de activación (de conformidad con el artículo 5 del Acuerdo sobre la Agricultura):  Penetración de las 
importaciones = 8.894,5/163.031,5 
 = 5,46% (por lo tanto, el nivel de activación de base es del 125%) Nivel de activación = 8.894,5 toneladas x 125% + (145.836,8 - 159.000,1) toneladas 
= -2.045,2 toneladas < 105% de la media de las importaciones 
= 9.339,2 toneladas 
 
Por lo tanto, el nivel de activación es de 9.339,2 toneladas.
