 MINUTES OF THE MEETING 
HELD IN THE CENTRE WILLIAM RAPPARD 24 MARCH 2015 
Chairman: H.E. Mr. Esteban Conejos (Philippines) 
 
  
1  INTRODUCTION 
1.1.  The Chairman recalled that the proposed ag enda had been circulated in WTO/AIR/PCTF/1. As 
Members would have seen from the airgram, there were two main items to address. First, the 
Preparatory Committee (PCTF) would formally receive the notifications of category A commitments 
that Members had submitted since the Committee la st acted on the matter. That was going to be 
followed by an informal working session where delegations would be briefed on the state of 
additional work, both on the ratification of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) – where 
Members would be invited to share their experiences – and with respect to assistance activities 
provided by the Secretariat. 
1.2.  The agenda was adopted. 
2  RECEIPT OF CATEGORY A NOTIFICATIONS 2.1.  The Chairman informed that the Committee had received almost a dozen new submissions 
since it last took action on the matter.  
2.2.  The list of new notifications covere d submissions from the following Members:  
Montenegro (WT/PCTF/N/MNE/1), Botswana (WT/ PCTF/N/BWA/1), Senegal (WT/PCTF/N/SEN/1), 
Nigeria WT/PCTF/N/NGA/1), Macao, China (WT/PCTF/N/MAC/1), Gabon (WT/PCTF/N/GAB/1), Egypt WT/PCTF/N/EGY/1), Macedonia (WT/PCTF /N/MKD/1), Jamaica (WT/PCTF/N/JAM/1) and 
Pakistan (WT/PCTF/N/PAK/1).  
2.3.  The Committee received those notifications.  
2.4.  The Chairman reported that the overall num ber of notifications had grown to a current total 
o f  5 5 ,  w h i c h  h e  t o o k  a s  a n  e n c o u r a g i n g  s i g n  of Members' continued engagement. He was 
particularly heartened to see a least developed country (LDC) having joined the ranks of notifying delegations and congratulated Senegal on being the first LDC to have presented their submission. More notifications were currently being prepared, which was a very welcome development. There 
was also considerable interest in analysing the ones already handed in, to which the Secretariat 
had responded by launching a number of initiatives.  Time had been set aside for Members to hear 
about these activities.
  
3  INFORMAL OPEN-ENDED WORKING SESSION 
3.1.  This part of the meeting covered (i) a pres entation by the Secretariat on the development of 
a notifications database, (ii) a brief on the state of the acceptance of the amendment protocol and 
the exchange of related experiences and (iii) an up date by the Secretariat on the operation of the 
Trade Facilitation Agreement Facility. It was conducted in informal mode.  WT/PCTF/M/10
