CERTAIN PREFERENCES TO DOMESTICALLY MANUFACTURED  
ELECTRONIC GOODS 
REPLIES TO QUESTIONS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION1 
The following communication, dated 13 April 2015, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of India. 
_______________ 
 
Questions  This issue was already discussed in previous  meetings of the TRIMs Committee. The EU 
notes that since the spring 2013 TRIMs Committee meeting the competent Indian 
authority issued guidelines for electron ics products in government procurement 
providing for a more flexible interpretation of the value added thresholds; furthermore 
we welcome the announcement by the Prime Mi nister's Office on 8 July calling for the 
suspension and review of the policy.   
In the last TRIMS Committee meeting of 4 October, India requested WTO Members to 
submit additional questions in writing. Th erefore, the EU would like to ask India the 
following:   
 
• Could India provide an update regardin g the status of the PMA (Preferential 
Market Access) policies for electronics and telecom goods following the 8 July 
announcement of the Prime Minister's o ffice that it is to be reviewed?  
 
• In particular, could India provide confirma tion that such PMA rules will not apply 
to any private procurement includin g that of licensee operators?  
 
• Could India provide confirmation that loca l value added rules would not be applied 
on security grounds includ ing public procurement? 
 
• Could India provide confirmation that fo r domestically manuf actured electronic 
goods the definition of value addition used in the Guidelines of 12 June 2013 
("should be so calibrated that it reflec ts the average/slightly above average of 
the manufacturing capability of the domestic  industry for that electronic product 
at a given time …")  would be applied, instead of th e fixed percentage approach of 
the earlier notification of 10 February 2012? 
 
• The EU understands that a general review of the PMA policy is currently underway 
which could affect other sectors. Coul d India provide information on how the 
review will be conducted and what the timeline is for this review? 
 
Reply 
 
India's policy for providing preference to domestic ally manufactured electronic goods, introduced 
in February, 2012 has been reviewed and a revised policy has been issued in December, 2013. The clause about applicability of the policy regarding electronic products having security implications 
has been dropped. The present policy is applicable only for DMEPs in Government procurement for

  its own use and not with a view to commercial resale or with a view to use in the production of 
goods for commercial sale. The details of the revised policy are available in the Notification No. 33(3)/2013-IPHW dated 23.12.2013, issued by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology in this regard. These are also contained in the Department's website

Status Report Regarding Implementation of the 
DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute 
Thailand – Customs and Fiscal Measures on Cigarettes from the Philippines  
(WT/DS371) 
 
 
Thailand submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules 
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"). At its meeting on 15 July 2011, the 
Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted the Appellate Body report on Thailand – Customs and 
Fiscal Measures on Cigarettes from the Philippines (WT/DS371/AB/R) and the panel report 
(WT/DS371/R), as modified by the Appellate Body report. 
 
On 23 September 2011, pursuant to Article 21.3(b) of the DSU, Thailand and the Philippines 
notified the DSB that they had mutually agreed on  the reasonable period of time for Thailand to 
comply with the recommendations and rulings  of the DSB. With respect to the DSB's 
recommendations and rulings regarding paragrap hs 8.3(b) and (c) of the panel report, the 
reasonable period of time to comply shall be 15 months, expiring on 15 October 2012. With 
respect to the DSB's recommendations and ruling s regarding all other measures, the reasonable 
period of time to comply shall be 10 months, expiring on 15 May 2012.   
Article 21.6 of the DSU provides that the issue of implementation of the recommendations or 
rulings shall be placed on the agenda of the DS B meeting after six months following the date of 
establishment of the reasonable period of time pursuant to paragraph 3 and shall remain on the 
DSB's agenda until the issue is resolved. Accordingly, Thailand hereby provides the following 
status report of its progress in the implementation of the DSB's recommendations and rulings.   
On 10 April 2012, Thailand submitted to the DSB its first status report under Article 21.6 of 
the DSU on its progress in the implementation of  the DSB’s recommendations and rulings in this

Since the last status report, Thailand has received a further set of questions from the 
Philippines regarding aspects of Thailand's implemen tation.  Thailand is in the process of preparing 
answers to those questions.  Thailand hopes th at this process of the informal exchange of 
information will enable the parties to achieve a mutually satisfactory outcome to this dispute.
