Norma definitiva – Normativa de la calidad:  arsénico en el agua embotellada
 
[Docket  Nº 2004N-0416]  
  La Administración de Productos Alimenticios y Farmacéuticos (FDA) de  los Estados Unidos 
publicó una Norma definitiva en el Federal Register  de 9 de junio de 2005 (70 FR 33694) por la que 
se modifica su reglamento sobre la normativa de la ca lidad del agua embotellada mediante la revisión 
de los niveles permisibles de ar sénico contaminantes que están vigentes.  Por consiguiente, los 
fabricantes tendrán que aplicar a sus productos acabados de agua embote llada las pruebas de 
detección de arsénico al menos una vez al año, conforme a las normas actuales sobre prácticas adecuadas de fabricación de agua embotellada.  Asim ismo, los fabricantes tendrán que controlar el 
nivel de arsénico en el agua de manantial con la  frecuencia que sea necesaria, como mínimo anual, a 
menos que cumplan los criterios de exención del c ontrol de agua de manantial establecidos en las 
normas vigentes sobre prácticas adecuadas de fabric ación.  La Norma definitiva notificada asegura 
que la calidad mínima del agua embotellada en la que  exista la presencia de arsénico sea comparable a 
la calidad del agua potable distribuida públicamen te, que se ajusta a las normas de la Agencia de 
Protección del Medio Ambiente de los Estados Unidos. 
 
 La norma entró en vigor el 23 de enero de 2006.   El texto completo de la Norma definitiva publicado en el Federal Register , 70 FR 33694

PERMANENT GROUP OF EXPERTS 
 
Note from the Chairman 
 
 
 Through document G/SCM/141 circulated on 9 March 2012, I invited Members to put 
forward, by 2 April 2012, names of candidates to  replace Dr. Manzoor Ah mad whose term in the 
Permanent Group of Experts ("PGE") ended last Sp ring and that of Mr. Zhang Yuqing whose term 
ends this Spring.  Through document G/SCM/142 dated 30 March 2012, I extended this deadline to 
4 April 2012. 
  As indicated in document G/SCM/143 dated 5 April 2012, five names were proposed as of that deadline:  Brazil proposed Mr. Welber Barra l, China Mr. Yuqing Zhang, India Mr. Rajendra 
Kumar Gupta, Korea Dr. Jaemin Lee, and Chinese Taipei Ms Connie Guang-Hwa Yang.  
 As indicated in the fax letter sent to a ll delegations on 5 Apr il 2012, I have conducted 
informal consultations with a view to reaching a decision on the two vacant positions in the PGE at 
the Committee's regular meeting on 26 April 2012.    
I am pleased to note that a number of delegations  took part in my informal consultations and 
expressed their views.  On the basis of the view s expressed in these informal consultations, I would 
like to propose Mr. Yuqing Zhang as the candidate to replace Dr. Manzoor Ahmad as from Spring 2011, and Mr. Welber Barral to re place Mr. Yuqing Zhang as from Spring 2012 for 
consideration and adoption by the Comm ittee at its meeting on 26 April 2012. 
 
I also note that during my consultations a systemic concern was raised on the process of 
selection of PGE members.  Given the time constraints, I will fully inform my successor for him to 
consider whether there should be informal consulta tions to discuss this matter following the selection 
of the two members.  
I would like to thank all delegations fo r their cooperation in this matter.

PROGRAMA DE TRABAJO SOBRE EL COMERCIO ELECTRÓNICO 
 
Decisión de 2 de diciembre de 2009
 
  
 La Conferencia Ministerial decide  lo siguiente: 
  Tomamos nota de los informes del Consejo Gene ral y de los órganos subsidiarios acerca del 
Programa de Trabajo sobre el Comercio Electrónico y expresamos nuestra preocupación por el hecho de que el examen de las cuestiones comprendidas en el Programa de Trabajo aún no 
se haya terminado.  Decidimos revitalizar inte nsamente esa labor, sobr e la base del Programa 
de Trabajo y las directrices dadas en la Decisión adoptada por el Consejo General el 25 de septiembre de 1998.
1 
  Encomendamos al Consejo General que rea lice exámenes periódicos de los progresos 
alcanzados en el Programa de Trabajo en sus reuniones de julio de 2010, diciembre de 2010 y 
julio de 2011.  Los informes de esos exámenes , con inclusión de cualquier recomendación 
sobre posibles medidas, se tomarían en consid eración para la adopción de decisiones relativas 
a este punto en nuestro próximo período de sesiones, que hemos decidido celebrar en 2011. 
  El Programa de Trabajo incluirá cuestiones relacionadas con el desarrollo, principios 
fundamentales de la OMC incluidos, entre otros,  la no discriminación, la previsibilidad y la 
transparencia, y debates sobre el trato come rcial, entre otras cosas, de los programas de 
informática que se suministran de forma electr ónica.  Convenimos en mantener las actuales 
disposiciones institucionales para el Programa de Trabajo.  
  Decidimos que los Miembros mantendrán hasta nuestro próximo período de sesiones, que 
hemos decidido celebrar en 2011, su práctica act ual de no imponer derec hos de aduana a las 
transmisiones electrónicas.
