PANAMA'S UNDUE DELAYS IN THE RENEWAL OF AUTHORIZATIONS  FOR PLANTS OF 
PERUVIAN FISHERY  AND LIVESTOCK ENTERPRISES (STC NO.  509) 
COMMUNICATION FROM PERU  
The following communication, received on 28  July 2023, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Peru. 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  Peru would like to present to WTO Members its specific trade concern regarding Panama's undue 
delays in renewing authorizations for plants of Peruvian fishery and livestock enterprises.  
2.  With regard to the case of Peruvian plants ex porting hydrobiological and dairy products, Peru 
wishes to point out that Article  8 of, and Annex C(1)(a) and C(1)(c) to, the SPS Agreement establish 
that the procedures undertaken to check the fulfilment of a sanitary measure must be completed 
without und ue delay and the information requirements limited to what is necessary for these 
procedures . Panama has failed to comply with this, since Peruvian enterprises' authorizations have 
not been renewed, with no technical justification, and despite the repeated requests made both 
bilaterally and multilaterally before this Committee.  
3.  In addition, despite the bilateral efforts undertaken, Panama has failed to communicate the 
anticipated processing period for renewing authorizations in a manner that is timely and ba sed on 
its regulations . There is also no information or certainty about the length of time that would be 
granted to Peruvian enterprises should renewal of their authorization be secured.  
4.  It should be noted that Panama has yet to respond to repeated request s made by Peru by email 
or in the letter dated 8  September  20221, addressed to the Minister for Trade and Industry of 
Panama, requesting a meeting of the Peru -Panama Free Trade Agreement Administrative 
Commission.  
5.  To that end, Peru wishes to recall that, pursuant to Articles  2.2 and 5.1 of the 
WTO SPS Agreement, Members' sanitary measures are to be applied only when they are necessary 
to protect human, animal or plant life or health, and these measures must be based on a risk 
assessment . Unfortunatel y, Panama has still failed to indicate any health reasons for not renewing 
the authorizations or granting new authorizations to Peruvian enterprises . Instead, it is imposing 
more and more conditions without a clear and transparent legal basis.  
6.  In the light of the foregoing, Peru asks Panama to renew the authorizations of Peruvian export 
plants and to avoid further delays that have no technical justification and that, in practice, represent 
unnecessary barriers to trade.
