 STATE TRADING  
SECOND COUNTER -NOTIFICATION OF THE STATE TRADING ENTERP RISES  
OF CHINA PURSUANT TO  PARAGRAPH 4 OF THE U NDERSTANDING  
ON THE INTERPRETATIO N OF ARTICLE XVII  
The following communication, dated 29 November 2017, is being circulated at the request o f the 
Delegation of the United States.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Paragraph 1 of the Understanding on the Interpretation of Article XVII of the General Agreement 
on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (hereinafter "Understanding") provides that "[i]n order to ensure the 
transp arency of the activities of state trading enterprises, Members shall notify such enterprises to 
the Council for Trade in Goods, for review by the working party."  
 
Paragraph 1 of the Understanding also contains a working definition of "state trading enterpr ise," 
which reads: "Governmental and non -governmental enterprises, including marketing boards, 
which have been granted exclusive or special rights or privileges, including statutory or 
constitutional powers, in the exercise of which they influence through their purchases or sales the 
level or direction of imports or exports."  
 
Paragraph 4 of the Understanding states that "[a]ny Member which has reason to believe that 
another Member has not adequately met its notification obligation may raise the matter wit h the 
Member concerned. If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved it may make a counter -notification 
to the Council for Trade in Goods, for consideration by the working party set up under paragraph 5 
[of the Understanding], simultaneously informing the Member concerned."  
 
In 2003, China submitted a notification to the Working Party on State Trading Enterprises 
(Working Party) as an update to its notification for the 2002 period. Starting in June 2014, the 
United States has raised concerns regarding Chin a's lack of notification and stated that it was 
considering a counter -notification if no notification was forthcoming. In August 2014, the United 
States submitted a counter -notification, providing information on 153 Chinese state trading 
enterprises (STEs)  that the United States believed to exist based on publicly -available 
information.1 That counter -notification also requested that China review the information and 
provide any missing elements as needed. In October 2015, China submitted its notification for  the 
2003-2014 period.2 The notification, however, was incomplete in providing information on 
identified STEs. In June  2016, the United States submitted 16 follow -up questions on China's 
notification regarding the lack of completeness of its notification.3 In March 2017, China replied to 
the U.S. questions, stating that much of the information could not be provided because the 
information was "business secret" (i.e., confidential) to the company.4 
 
Shortly after China's response, the United States conducted  its own research and found that much 
of the missing information could be found in publicly -available information (e.g., the website of the 
                                                
1 G/C/W/701 –G/STR/Q1/CHN/2 (dated 14 August 2014).  
2 G/STR/N/10/CHN –G/STR/N/11/CHN –G/STR/N/12/CHN –G/STR/N/13/CHN –G/STR/N/14/CHN –
G/STR/N/15/CHN (dated 19 October 2015).  
3 G/STR/ Q1/CHN/5 (dated 7 June 2016).  
4 G/STR/Q1/CHN/8 (dated 16 March 2017).  G/C/W/749 • G/STR/Q1/CHN/9

  STE). This discrepancy on the availability of the information was raised at the May 2017 meeting 
of the Working Part y on State Trading Enterprises5, as well as bilaterally in July 2017.  
 
To date, the missing information has not been provided by China, and the issue has not been 
otherwise satisfactorily resolved. Therefore, the United States is hereby exercising its righ t under 
paragraph 4 of the Understanding to make a counter -notification of the following entities as state 
trading enterprises of China:  
 
1. China National Tobacco Import & Export Co. (later renamed China Tobacco 
International Inc.)  
2. China National Offs hore Oil Corporation  
3. Sinochem Group  
4. China International Petroleum and Chemicals Co., Ltd.  
5. China National Agricultural Means of Production Group Co.  
6. Chinatex Corporation  
7. Xinjiang Yin Long International Agriculture Cooperation Co., Ltd.  
 
The i nformation in this counter -notification (including the attached Annex) is based on publicly -
available information as of 31 October 2017.  
 
Although the United States is providing this publicly -available information in the interests of 
transparency, it rema ins incumbent upon China to review the information and provide any 
necessary updates.6 
                                                
5 G/STR/M/31 (dated 24 August 2017).  
6 For example, for entities where information is publicly -available through customs data and the STE is 
the importer, China should be able to provide  data for the missing years as well.  G/C/W/749 • G/STR/Q1/CHN/9

tobacco, and China Tobacco International Inc. is the only notified importer. Therefore, Customs data is understood to represent statistical information for the notified STE.
