 COMMITTEE ON TRADE A ND ENVIRONMENT IN SP ECIAL SESSION  (CTESS)  
REPORT BY THE CHAIRP ERSON, AMBASSADOR SYED TAUQ IR SHAH  
 
1.  Since the last formal TNC meeting in July and f ollowing -up on my consultations in May , I held, 
on 3rd October an informal, factual informa tion session regarding past work in the CTESS. The 
WTO Secretariat presented a factual overview of the discussions that have taken place so far in 
the CTESS on all three items of paragraph 31 of the Doha Ministerial Declaration. This provided an 
opportunit y for delegations to seek clarification and share their thoughts. I believe the information 
session was appreciated by most delegations that took the floor and was seen as a good occasion  
to refresh their collective memory about the considerable amount of work done by the CTESS over 
the years.  
2.  Moreover, s everal delegations reiterated the importance of environmental issues and of 
discussing trade and environment issues in the WTO  and renewed their interest in this subject 
matter . It was also made clear by s everal delegations that environment should feature  in any 
ministerial declaration or text that might emerge from Buenos Aires.  That said, at this stage, no 
new proposals have been submitted.  
3.  To conclude, I would like to encourage delegations  to continue t o keep in mind  the importance 
of environmental issues as they intensify their discussions towards an outcome in Buenos Aires. 
I remain  ready to play my part in  these discussions  and to assist delegations in any way I can.

TRANSPARENCY NOTIFICATION CONCERNI NG THE EXTENSIONS  PROVIDED FOR  
IN ARTICLE 27.4 OF THE AGREEMENT ON SUBSIDIES AND COUNTERVAILING  
MEASURES OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD FOR THE ELIMINATION OF EXPORT  
SUBSIDIES, GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES IN THE  
GENERAL COUNCIL DECISION WT/L/691 
MAURITIUS  
The following communication, dated 9 September 2014,  is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Mauritius.  
_______________ 
 1  TITLE OF THE SUBSIDY PROGRAMME 
The Freeport Scheme. 
 Description of the scheme. 
Corporate Tax Exemption for Freeport Operators and Freeport developers. 
 2  PERIOD COVERED BY THE NOTIFICATION 
December 2014-December 2015. 
 
3  POLICY OBJECTIVE 
 The decision to extend the income tax exemption for Freeport operators was announced 
in Budget Speech 2012 as a result of the persistence of the euro-zone crisis – an 
external shock which has a more menacing impact on our economy, especially on our export sector. 
 The Freeport is an important link to the regional and international economy and to 
embrace the role as a regional trading hub the government has decided to delay the application of the normal tax rate to Freeport operators indefinitely. 
4  BACKGROUND AUTHORITY AND LEGAL BASIS 
a. Background authority for the Scheme 
The Board of Investment and the Income Tax Department. 
b. Legal basis 
Income Tax Act 1995. 
 G/SCM/N/275/MUS 
 
- 2 - 
 
  5  FORM OF SUBSIDY 
Corporate Tax exemption on income derived from ac tivities carried out in the Freeport zone except 
for Freeport operators and private Freeport Developers licensed after 1 June 2002 to carry out any specified Freeport processing activities. 
 
6  BENEFICIARIES 
Freeport Operators and Private Freeport Developers. 
 
7  SUBSIDY PER UNIT OR TOTAL AMOUNT 
The Government suffers no effective loss of income  due to foregone taxes since these activities 
would not have taken place in Mauritius without the existence of the Freeport and its related 
incentives. 
 8  DURATION OF SUBSIDY 
Limitation not specified. 
 9  ASSESSMENT OF TRADE EFFECTS 
This incentive has contributed to the development of the Mauritius Freeport.
