COMMITTEE ON REGIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS  
TO THE GENERAL COUNCIL 
 
Chairman:  Mr. Alfredo Suescum (Panama)
 
 
 
I. INTRODUCTION 
1. At its first meeting in March 2010, the Comm ittee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) 
elected Mr. Alfredo Suescum (Panama) as Chairman of the CRTA. 
2. During 2010, the Committee held four sessions (i n March, June, September and November).  
The minutes of those meetings are listed in Attachment 1.  Four sessions are foreseen in 2011. 
II. OBSERVER STATUS 
3. The Committee agreed to continue the granti ng of observer status in the CRTA to the 
Latin American Integration Association (LAIA), on an ad hoc  basis.  No decision was taken with 
respect to the requests for observer status lis ted in document WT/REG/W/11/Add.3, pending the 
definition of guidelines by the General Council. 
III. CONSIDERATION OF REGIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS 
4. As of 1 November 2010, 479 regional trade ag reements (RTAs), counting goods and services 
notifications separately, have been notified to the GATT/WTO, 288 of which are currently in force.1 
These figures correspond to 375 physical RTAs, of which 197 are currently in force (117 goods, 
1 services and 79 goods and services).  Of the 288 notifications, 174 were notified under 
GATT Article XXIV;  31 under the Enabling Clause2, and 83 under GATS Article V. 
5. During 2010, the Secretariat distributed factua l presentations of 23 RTAs (counting goods and 
services separately), 22 of which were used as th e basis for consideration of RTAs in the CRTA 
during 2010.3  A total of 92 RTAs have been consider ed under the Transparency  Mechanism since its 
adoption in December 2006.4  There is a remaining backlog of 95 RTAs, 91 for which the factual 
presentation is under preparation and 4 RTAs for which the factual presentation is on hold (see 
Attachment 2). 
6. According to paragraph 22 of the TM, the Secretar iat is to prepare a factual abstract for those 
RTAs for which the CRTA had concluded the fact ual examination by 31 December 2006 and for 
                                                      
1 These figures correspond to notifications of ne w RTAs, as well as accessions to existing RTAs.

Page 2  
 
  RTAs notified to the WTO under the Enabling Clause.   Seventy-four factual abstracts have been 
prepared and posted on the RTA Database and one  is under preparation (see Attachment 3). 
IV. EARLY ANNOUNCEMENTS 
7. Paragraph 1 of the TM provides for Members par ticipating in new negotiations and parties to 
a newly signed RTA to provide information to the S ecretariat, to be posted on the WTO website.  In 
2010, a total of 9 early announcements were recei ved from Members, 3 for RTAs under negotiation 
and 6 for newly signed RTAs (see Attachment 4). 
V. SUBSEQUENT NOTIFICATION AND REPORTING  
8. Paragraph 14 of the TM provides for changes affe cting the implementation of an RTA, or the 
operation of an already implemented RTA to be notif ied as soon as possible after such changes occur.  
Such communications are to be made availabl e on the WTO website.  As of 1 November 2010, 
notifications of changes for six RTAs had b een received and posted on the RTA Database.

9. Paragraph 15 of the TM provides for parties to  an RTA to submit a short written report on the 
realization of the liberalization commitments in the RTA as originally notified at the end of the RTA's 
implementation period.  No such re ports were submitted during 2010. 
VI. DATABASE ON RTAS 
10. Paragraph 21 of the TM provides for the Secr etariat to establish and maintain an updated 
electronic database on individual RTAs.  The databa se was launched in Janua ry 2009 and is available 
on the WTO public website.   
VII. PROCEDURES TO IMPROVE AND FACILITATE THE EXAMINATION PROCESS 
11. No discussion took place on this item. 
VIII. SYSTEMIC IMPLICATIONS OF REGIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS AND 
INITIATIVES FOR THE MULTILATERAL TRADING SYSTEM AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM 
12. At its 57
th and 58th Sessions in June and Septembe r 2010 respectively, the Committee 
discussed a proposal on a work programme on cr oss-cutting issues on RTAs co-sponsored by  
Argentina;  Australia;  Canada;  Chile;  China;  Ho ng Kong, China;  India;  Japan;  New Zealand;  and 
the Republic of Korea (WT/REG/W/54/Rev.1, date d 11 June 2010 and WT/R EG/W/54/Rev.1/Add.1, 
dated 24 September 2010). 
IX. FINAL REMARKS 
13. Although considerable progress has been made in the preparation of factual presentations, the 
Committee continues to experience so me difficulties in adhering to its work programme.  This is due 
to a number of factors:  delays in the receipt of statistical data from parties, data discrepancies in 
Members' submissions, and delays in the receipt of comments from parties.  The Secretariat is working actively with the parties concerned in an  effort to overcome these difficulties and in 2010 
began providing delegations with the current stat us of the CRTA's work programme before each
