 as well as any annexes or schedules ther eto, amendments, supplements, extensions,

The above mentioned additional requirements and procedures appear to be inconsistent with 
Article XI:1 of the GATT 1994, paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 of Part I of the Accession Protocol, as well as China's obligations under the provisions of pa ragraph 1.2 of Part I of the Accession Protocol 
(which incorporates commitments in paragraphs 83 and 84 of the Working Party Report). 
In turn, the manner in which China administers those additional requirements and procedures 
appears to be inconsistent with Article X:3(a) of the GATT 1994 and Paragraph 2(A)(2) of Part I of 
the Accession Protocol. 
China's measures also appear to nullify or impair the benefits accruing to the European Union 
directly or indirectly under the cited agreements. 
The European Union reserves the right to address additional measures and claims regarding the 
above matters in the course of the consultations. 
The European Union looks forward to receiving China's reply to this request for consultations in 
due course. The European Union is ready to consider with China mutually convenient dates for 
consultations in Geneva.
