ACCORD DE PORTÉE PARTIELLE ENTRE LE MEXIQUE ET L'ÉQUATEUR   
(MARCHANDISES ) 
QUESTIONS ET RÉPONSES  
 La communication ci -après, reçue le 7 octobre 2021, est distribuée à la demande des 
délégations de l'Équateur et du Mexique.  
 
 Les questions adressées aux Parties et les réponses communiquées sont reproduites dans le 
présent document.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Question s posée s par la délégation des États -Unis 
 
Observation formulée par le Service des relations agricoles avec l'étranger (FAS) du Département 
de l'agriculture des États -Unis (USDA) : 
 
1. L'unique aspect qui nous aurait intéressés, un changement concernant  les licences 
d'importation, ne couvre pas les produits agricoles, mais nous aimerions savoir comment les 
licences pour ces produits étaient gérées auparavant.   
 
a. Page 8, paragraphe 3.3: "Les licences d'importation doivent être délivrées dans les 
huit jours  suivant la demande (article 10); au titre de l'annexe I de l'Accord, des 
licences d'importation sont requises pour l'importation en Équateur de produits 
relevant de 28 lignes tarifaires, y compris pour certains produits pharmaceutiques, 
certaines préparat ions lubrifiantes et certains articles céramiques réfractaires. Les 
licences doivent être délivrées par le ministère compétent".  
 
L'Équateur a présenté la réponse suivante : L'Équateur a entrepris des réforme s de la législation et 
des procédures en ce qui c oncerne son régime de licences d'importation, y compris avant son 
accession à l'OMC. Dans le cadre de ses engagement s au sein du système commercial multilatéral, 
comme l'indique la notification G/LIC/N/3/ECU/1  du 2 octobre 1995, l'Équateur a fait rapport s ur le 
régime de licences administré par l'intermédiaire de la Banque centrale de l'Équateur. Cette 
notification  contient  une explication détaillée de la manière dont les licences d'importation étaient 
gérées à cette époque. D'autres réformes , qui réglementent le régime de licences d'importation 
actuel de l'Équateur, ont été opérées ces dernières années.
