Revision1 
The following communication, dated 16 January  2024, is being circulated at the request of the 
above -mentioned  delegations . 
_______________  
 
Since 1998, WTO Members have periodically taken decisions to carry on work under the Work 
Programme on Electronic Commer ce and to continue their practice of not imposing customs duties 
on electronic transmissions. We are encouraged by the extensive exchanges under the Dedicated 
Discussions  in response to the 12th Ministerial Conference decision to reinvigorat e the Work 
Programme and we now call on Members to uphold this elevated level of engagement . We take note 
of the intensified discussions on the moratorium and continued evidence -based exchanges, as we 
agreed in WT/L/1143 .  
DRAFT MINISTERIAL DECISION  
1.1.  Recognizing the importance of  continuing to examin e under the Work Programme  trade-related 
issues rel ating to global electronic commerce, taking into account in particular the development 
dimension , and of maintaining certainty and predictability for business and consumers, we propose 
that the Ministerial Conference adopts the following decision:  
1.2.  We agree to continue the work under the Work Programme on Electronic Commerce, based on 
the mandate as set out in WT/L/274  including the  development -related issues under  it. We instruct 
the General Council to identify and focus its work on a set of trade -related topics brought forward 
by Members, building on its work undertaken during the Dedicated Discussions.  To that end, w e 
mandate the WTO to continue collaboration with other international organisations and relevant 
external  stakeholders with the view to enhanc ing coordination to addres s challenges related to 
e-commerce, as identified by Members . 
1.3.  We instruct the General Council to hold periodic reviews of the Work Programme , based on the 
reports that may be submitted by the relevant WTO bodies and report to the next session of the 
Ministerial Conference.  
1.4.  We agree to maintain the current practice of not imposing customs duties on electronic 
transmissions until the 14th Ministerial Conference  and to hold further deliber ations on the scope, 
definition , and impact of the moratorium , including through the continued examin ation of 
empirical  evidence .

COMMUNIQUÉ  
DE PRESSE  
ASSISTANCE TECHNIQUE  
La Lituanie fait un don de 50  000 EUR pour renforcer les capacités 
commerciales des pays en développement  
La Lituanie verse une contribution de 50  000 EUR (53  000 CHF) pour aider les pays en 
développement et les pays les moins avancés à participer activement aux négociations 
commerciales mondiales. La contribution a été saluée par le Directeur général, Roberto  Azevêdo, 
lors d'une réunion avec le Ministre lituanien des affaires étrangères, M.  Linas Linkevičius, le 
24 février  2020.  
 
La contribution de la Lituanie au Fonds global d'affectation spéciale pour le Programme de Doha 
pour le développement (PDD) de l'OMC  financera des ateliers de formation à l'intention de 
fonctionnaires afin d'améliorer leurs compétences en matière de négociations commerciales et de 
les aider à mettre en œuvre les Accords de l'OMC. Depuis la création du Fonds en 2001, plus de 
2 800 ateli ers ont été organisés.  
 
Le Directeur général, M.  Azevêdo, a dit: "L'inclusion est essentielle à l'efficacité du système 
commercial multilatéral. Je remercie la Lituanie pour sa contribution à la réalisation de cet objectif 
important ." 
 
M. Linkevičius a dit : "Il est maintenant plus important que jamais de soutenir le multilatéralisme 
non seulement par des paroles, mais également par des actes. La Lituanie est fermement 
convaincue qu'un commerce fondé sur des règles favorise la croissance économique et le 
développement. Nous sommes heureux de contribuer à l'action menée par l'OMC pour aider les 
pays en développement à mettre en œuvre les règles de l'OMC."  
 
Au total, la Lituanie a versé environ 370  000 EUR (un peu plus de 390  000 CHF) aux différen ts 
fonds d'aff ectation spéciale de l'OMC en près de 20  ans.

  NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 3 February 2020, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the European Union .  
 
_______________  
 
 
The European Union would like to inform the WTO Members that the  Commission Delegated 
Regulation (EU) 2019/934 of 12 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the 
European Parliament and of the Council as regards wine -growing areas where the alcoholic 
strength may be increased, authorised oenological prac tices and restrictions applicable to the 
production and conservation of grapevine products, the minimum percentage of alcohol for by -
products and their disposal, and publication of OIV files  contains an error as regards transitional 
arrangements for the ma rketing of stocks of grapevine products.  
The draft Commission Delegated Regulation correcting Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/934 as 
regards transitional arrangements for the marketing of stocks of grapevine products  corrects an 
error in Article 15 of Commi ssion Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/934 to ensure that grapevine 
products produced between the entry into force and the date of application of Delegated 
Regulation (EU) 2019/934 can be marketed.  
The text of the draft Delegated Regulation is available on t he EU -TBT website: 
http://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools -databases/tbt/  and also at

_______________  
 
 
L'Union européenne remercie les Philippines de leur notification. L 'Union européenne souhaite poser 
les questions suivantes:  
Question n°  1 
Les Philippines pourraient -elles expliquer pourquoi le prix admi nistré figurant dans le tableau DS:5 
du document G/AG/N/PHL/85  est considérablement inférieur au prix de vente représentatif moyen 
sur le marché intérieur  indiqué dans le document publié sous la cote G/STR/N/19/PHL ? 
Question n°  2 
Les Philippines pourraient -elles préciser quel a été le volume total de riz et de maïs que l 'Office 
national de l 'alimentation a acheté aux agriculteurs du pays? À quel prix l 'Office a -t-il acheté ces 
volumes?  
Question n°  3 
Les Philippines pourraient -elles donner de plus amples explications sur les importations de riz – qui 
étaient les parties concernées et s 'agissait -il d'entités publiques ou privées?  
Question n°  4 
Les Philippines ont déclaré, dans le document G/STR/N/19/PHL , que l 'Office national de 
l'alimentation n 'avait pas effectué d 'exportations de riz et de maïs parce qu 'il n'y avait pas eu 
d'excédent de la production nationale en 2020 et en 2021.  En cas d 'excédent en 2022, qui 
export erait les volumes?

1.  The United States thanks Australia for raising this issue and wishes to highlight our concerns that 
the proposed model certificates notified under G/SPS/N/EU/401 , G/SPS/N/EU/402 , and 
G/SPS/N/EU/403  will negatively affect supply chains and trade.  
2.  As we have stated in previous meetings of the SPS Committee, these measures pertain to a 
broad spectrum of products. While the European Union has engaged with the United States in 
continuing discussions and negotiations around the new animal health certificate requirements, a 
great deal of work remains to be done in order to ensure that these measures do not overly or 
unnecessarily restrict trade.  
3.  We reiterate the request that we jointly submitted with Australia, Canada, Japan, Kore a, and 
Viet Nam in April 2021 that the E uropean Union delay the 21 August 2021 implementation of its 
animal health certificates. This would allow additional time to address key questions, such as 
overlapping regulatory jurisdictions in third country market s and appropriately accounting for 
regulatory oversight that achieves a level of protection at least equivalent to the EU level of 
protection.
