  COMMITTEE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT MA NDATE: REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION 
OF S&D PROVISIONS IN THE MULTILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENTS AND RELATED 
MINISTERIAL DECISIONS IN FAVOUR OF DEVELOPING COUNTRY MEMBERS 
Proposal by Ecuador 
The following communication, dated 10 June 2014, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Ecuador. 
 
_______________ 
  
1. Pursuant to the Decision by the General Council on 31 January 1995 (WT/L/46): 
"3. To review periodically, in consultation as appropriate with the relevant bodies 
of the WTO, the application of special provisions in the Multilateral Trade Agreements 
and related Ministerial Decisions in favour of developing country Members, 
and in particular least-developed country Members, and report to the General Council for appropriate action". 
2. In order to facilitate consideration by the CTD of  this issue, it is of significance that the 
Secretariat continue to prepare reports ("notes") on the implementation of S&D provisions of the WTO Agreements and Decisions. 
3. The latest of these reports appears in document WT/COMTD/W/196 of 14 June 2013. The 
different sections of the report, each of which deals with a particular agreement, begin with 
general comments and then provide information on S&D treatment by type of provision found in the agreement in question; this report uses a six-fold typology of S&D provisions: 
 "provisions aimed at increasing the trade opportunities"; 
 "provisions under which WTO Members should safeguard the interests of developing 
country Members"; 
 "flexibility of commitments, of action, and use of policy instruments"; 
 "transitional time-periods"; 
 "technical assistance"; 
 "provisions relating to LDC Members". 
4. PROPOSAL: Request the Secretariat to update the report regularly, at least once a year. The 
report must include an objective and analytical listing of the S&D provisions, identifying the measures that have been taken and put forward to operationalize them.  
Taking into account that the S&D provisions are an  integral part of the WTO Agreements and that 
these provisions are essential to the better integration of developing countries into the world trade system so that trade can be instrumental in achieving development, a comprehensive 
and up-to-date overview of the matter, to se rve as a basis for a general discussion of the 
implementation of the S&D treatment provisions in  the multilateral trading system, is considered 
a timely and necessary input for the regular CTD work.

DERESTRICTION OF ADD ITIONAL NEGOTIATING MATERIALS  
DECISION  OF 30 NOVEMBER 2017  
The General Council,  
 
Having regard to  Articles IV:2 and IX:1 of the WTO Agreement;  
 
Having regard  to the agreement of 8 December 1994 between the GATT CONTRACTING PARTIES, 
the Preparatory Committee for the WTO and the Interim Commission for the International Trade 
Organization (ICITO), approved by the WTO General Council on 31 January 1995 (WT/L/36), 
providing inter alia  for the transfer of assets and records of the GATT to the WTO;  
 
Considering  that, in the interest of a better access of the general public to the historical 
negotiating documentation of the GATT 1947 multilateral trade negotiations, a general 
derestriction of such documentation is in order;  
 
Noting  that the derestriction of the majority of the historical bilateral negotiating documentation 
pertaining to the first seven GATT 1947 Tariff Conferences1 has already taken place;  
 
Noting  that the Committee on Market Access has approved the derestriction of additional 
negotiating materials from the Geneva (1947), Annecy (1949), Torquay (1950 -1951), and Geneva 
(1956) tariff negotiations which are listed in the annex to document G/MA/334;  
 
Decides  as follows:  
 
The historical bilateral negotiating documentation listed in the annex to document G/MA/334 shall 
be derestricted as of 1 January 2018.
