ASSISTANCE TECHNIQUE 
Le Taipei chinois s'engage à ve rser 240 000 dollars EU pour les 
normes concernant la sécurité sa nitaire des produits alimentaires, 
la santé des animaux et la préservation des végétaux en 
2014-2016 
Le Territoire douanier distinct de Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen et Matsu (Taipei chinois) s'est engagé à 
verser 80 000 dollars EU (82 000 CHF) au Fonds pour l'application des normes et le développement du commerce (STDF) chaque année durant la période 2014-2016. L'objectif de ce 
fonds est d'aider les pays en développement et les pays les moins avancés (PMA) à élaborer et à 
appliquer des normes sanitaires et phytosanitaires (SPS) visant à protéger la santé, et à améliorer leur capacité d'obtenir ou de maintenir un accès aux marchés internationaux.  
"L'initiative du Taipei Chinois est particulièrement opportune. Elle jouera un rôle important pour 
aider les pays en développement et les pays les moins avancés à tirer au mieux parti du système 
commercial multilatéral et facilitera l'accès de ces pays aux marchés mondiaux", a déclaré le 
Directeur général, M. Roberto Azevêdo. 
 
Selon les termes de la représentante permanente du Territoire douanier distinct de Taiwan, 
Penghu, Kinmen et Matsu auprès de l'OMC, Mme Shin-Yuan LAI, "le Taipei chinois, étant lui-même 
un Membre en développement qui a bénéficié de l' aide au développement, comprend parfaitement 
les difficultés que peuvent rencontrer les autres pays en développement ou les PMA Membres s'agissant de s'acquitter de leurs obligations dans le domaine SPS. Nous demeurons convaincus que le renforcement des capacités SPS facilitera la croissance économique, la réduction de la 
pauvreté, la création d'emplois et la protection de l'environnement".  
 Depuis 2002, le Taipei chinois  a versé au total 1 908 000 CHF aux divers fonds d'affectation spéciale de l'OMC.  
 
Le STDF est un partenariat mondial ayant pour but d'améliorer la sensibilisation, de mobiliser des ressources, de renforcer la collaboration, de défini r et de diffuser les bonnes pratiques et de fournir 
un soutien et un financement en faveur de l'élabor ation et de la mise en œuvre de projets qui 
encouragent le respect des prescriptions internationales dans le domaine SPS.

 TITLE: Food Labeling: Revision of the Nutrition and Supplement Facts Labels 
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS 
ACTION: Final rule 
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending its labeling regulations for 
conventional foods and dietary supplements to pr ovide updated nutrition information on the label 
to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices. The updated information is consistent 
with current data on the associations between nutrients and chronic diseases, health-related conditions, physiological endpoints, and/or maintaining a healthy dietary pattern that reflects 
current public health conditions in the United States, and corresponds to new information on 
consumer understanding and consumption patterns. The final rule updates the list of nutrients that are required or permitted to be declared; provides updated Daily Reference Values and Reference Daily Intake values that are based on current dietary recommendations from consensus reports; 
amends requirements for foods represented or purp orted to be specifically for children under the 
age of 4 years and pregnant and lactating women and establishes nutrient reference values specifically for these population subgroups; and re vises the format and appearance of the Nutrition 
Facts label. 
Effective date: The final rule becomes effective on 26 July 2016.  Compliance date: The compliance date of this final rule is 26 July 2018 for manufacturers with 
$10 million or more in annual food sales and 26 July 2019 for manufacturers with less than 
$10 million in annual food sales. See section III, Effective and Compliance Dates, for more detail. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 26 July 2016.

The Association Agreement establishes a free trade area for trade in goods, within the 
meaning of Article XXIV of the GATT 1994, and for trade in services, within the meaning 
of Article V of the GATS.  
The Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) cover trade in goods including 
tariff elimination or reduction over a maximum of 10 years, provide for further opening of the services markets and improvement of es tablishment conditions for investors. They 
contain also provisions on the facilitation of customs procedures, on anti-fraud measures 
and trade defence instruments. These rules aim to ensure that trade is liberalized to the 
fullest extent possible but provide for necessary precautions so that only eligible goods 
qualify for preferential treatment. A bilateral dispute settlement procedure is envisaged 
to solve issues in an expeditious manner. 
Furthermore, the DCFTA sets a path to bring Moldovan legislation closer to that of the EU 
in a wide number of regulatory policy areas, such as rules for export of agricultural goods 
and food safety in general, regulations for industrial products and conformity assessment, management of customs, includ ing enforcement of intellectual property 
rights at the border, rules on public procur ement and wide alignment to the EU rules in 
services areas. WT/REG352/N/1 • S/C/N/743
