SYNTHESIS OF SUBMISSIONS ON ENVIRONMENTAL GOODS 
 
Informal Note by the Secretariat  
 
  
This document has been prepa red under the Secretariat's own 
responsibility and without prejudice to the positions of Members 
and to their rights and obligations under the WTO.  
 
 
1. Paragraph 31 (iii) of the Doha Ministerial Decl aration calls for negotiations on "the reduction 
or, as appropriate, elimination of tariff and non-ta riff barriers to environmental goods and services", 
with a view to enhancing the mutual supportivenes s of trade and environment.  The present note 
compiles the various issues raised in Members' subm issions to the CTESS in 2002-2005, to the extent 
possible.  It was initially prepared in response to a request by the CTESS at its February 2005 meeting 
(Job (05)/57 and Rev.1-2).   
2. The note begins with an introduction followe d by a section describing the approaches to 
Paragraph 31(iii) before the CTESS.  The third section sets out the parameters that have been used by 
Members in constructing their proposed lists of environmental goods.  A final section refers to a 
number of other issues raised in the submissions re lated to the Paragraph 31  (iii) mandate.  Annex I 
shows the different categories used by Members in  their lists.  A compilation of lists submitted by 
Members so far is provided in Annex II.  A table showing all submissions on environmental goods to 
date is contained in Annex III.

I. INTRODUCTION 
3. It has been emphasized that negotiations under Paragraph 31(iii) should aim at achieving 
sustainable development by creating triple win s ituations beneficial to trade, environment and 
development.1     
4. First, it has been said that the negotia tions could result in a win for increased trade  due to a 
reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff ba rriers (NTBs).  Domestic purchasers, including 
business and governments at all levels, would be able  to acquire environmental technologies at lower 
costs.2   
5. The negotiations could also result in a win for the environment  by improving access to high 
quality environmental goods.  This can lead to dir ect quality of life benefits for citizens in all 
countries in terms of a cleaner environment while  satisfying basic human needs, such as improved 
access to safe water, sanitation or clean energy.3  In addition, the use of environmental goods can 
reduce negative externalities in the form of detrim ental environmental and hu man health effects and 
can assist in the realization of important energy efficiency gains.4   
6. Finally, the negotiations could result in a win for development  because liberalization can 
assist developing countries in obtaining the tools needed to address key environmental priorities as 
part of their on-going development strategies5, such as those that have been identified in the WSSD 
Johannesburg Plan of Implementation.6   
II. APPROACHES TO THE NEGOTIATIONS UNDER PARAGRAPH 31(III) 
7. The submissions made so far propose the following approaches to Paragraph 31 (iii):  the 
environmental project approach, the approach suppor ting the establishment of a multilaterally agreed 
list of environmental goods and the integrated approach.  
A. ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT APPROACH  
8. The "Environmental Project Approach" is proposed by India.7  Under this approach, 
environmental goods and services would be included in a project to be approved by a Designated 
National Authority (DNA).  If appr oved, the goods and services included in the project would qualify 
for specified concessions for the duration of the pr oject.  This approach would address diversity in 
environmental standards with common but differe ntiated responsibilities and would introduce trade 
liberalization to meet the environmental,  as well as development goals, of both the

8  It is also said that this approach would bring synergy 
between environmental goods and services and provide  a framework for transfer of technology and 
for its adaptation by developing countries.9  Also, goods and services required for the project would 
have direct use and could be related to the envi ronmental objective for which they were being given 
market access.10    
9. The DNA is to be the national focal point for ov erseeing all approvals to be granted for tariff 
reductions on environmental goods a nd services related to a specific project that is to be implemented 
within the country.  Its primary role would be to function as an authority that would appraise the project proposals for granting tariff concessions on goods and services.
11  The DNA may comprise, 
for example, representatives from government, priv ate sector, civil society or any other entities 
deemed appropriate by national governments.12  The role of the DNA would be to see that the 
information provided in the proposal is appropria te for achieving the objectives of the project.   
10. The projects selected would aim at meeting na tional environmental objectives, as well as 
objectives of any bilateral or mu ltilateral environmental agreement.13  They would include, inter alia , 
equipment, parts and components, consumables, services, investment, financial aid and transfer of 
technology.  The broad criteria for "environmental projects" could be agreed upon in the CTESS with 
due consideration to the policy space of nationa l governments.  The projects may include: air 
pollution control;  water and waste management;  solid waste management;  remediation and clean-
up;  noise and vibration abatement;  environmental monitoring and analysis;  process optimization;  energy saving management;  renewable energy fac ilities;  and environmentally preferable products.

B. LIST APPROACH  
11. At present, nine Members have tabled subm issions containing their initial lists of 
environmental goods:  Canada, the European Comm unities, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Qatar, 
Switzerland, Chinese Taipei and the United States.  The products included in the various lists have 
been compiled in Annex II to this note.  Two asp ects have been discussed by Members in relation to 
the list approach:  the development of a "living list",  and the creation of two lists with different sets of 
commitments. 
12. It has been suggested that an  agreed list of environmenta l goods should be considered a 
"living list"15 and that a process should be set  up to update and expand the list.16  This would help 
reflect the reality of the evolution of environm ental goods and technological  change and encourage 
technological innovation in a field where evolu tion in technologies is the key to successfully

environmental goods", 5 July 2005, TN/ TE/W/56, para. 1;  Switzerland, TN/TE/W/ 57, paras. 16-17.  With respect to 
precedents in this regard, the 1996 Ministerial Declaration on Trade in Information Technology Products (ITA) and the 
Uruguay Round "zero-for-zero" initiative on the Trade in Pharma ceutical Products, were developed on the assumption that 
the lists of products covered by these agreements would need to stay abreas t of, and be responsive to, technological 
breakthroughs.  TN/TE/W/63

addressing environmental challenges.17 According to a report by the OECD, half of the environmental 
goods likely to be in use within the coming decade do not currently exist.18   
13. Some Members have expressed the view that two lists need to be prepared.  China's proposal 
suggested setting up a "common list" and a "development list".19  The "common list" would include 
specific product lines, on which there is consensus th at they constitute environmental goods.  For the 
products in this common list, Members are commit ted to reduce or eliminate tariff and non-tariff 
barriers.  The "development list" would be a list of  environmental goods for special and differential 
treatment born from the "common list".  It would comprise those products selected by developing and 
least-developed country Members from the common list for exemption, or a lower level of reduction 
commitments, with a view to reflecting the principle of less than full reciprocity.20   
14. The United States has proposed that a "core list"  and a "complementary list" be developed.21  
The "core list" would comprise of products on wh ich there is consensus that they constitute 
environmental goods.  A second "complementary list" could be developed for additional products on 
which definitive consensus could not be reached , but for which there is a high degree of 
acknowledgement that they can have significance fo r environmental protection, pollution prevention 
or remediation, and sustainability.22   
C. INTEGRATED APPROACH  
15. The "Integrated Approach" is set out in a subm ission by Argentina.  It brings together 
elements from all proposals submitted so far.23  Pursuant to this approach, two cumulative conditions 
would have to be met in order to benefit from the reduction/elimination of tariff and non-tariff 
restrictions under paragraph 31(iii) of the Doha Mandate.24  First, the goods must be included in one 
of the environmental project categories to be identif ied by the CTESS, such as:  air pollution control;  
water and waste water management;  soil and so il conservation;  solid waste management;  
remediation and clean up;  noise and vibration abatement;  environmental monitoring and analysis;  process optimization;  energy saving management;  renewable energy;  an d environment-friendly 
products.
25   
16. The CTESS would then include in each categor y the "environmental goods" that would be 
available for application to the development of na tional projects.  Tariff reduction/elimination and the 
elimination of non-tariff barriers would be agr eed multilaterally, taking account of special and 
differential treatment.  The tariff benefit grante d by the importing Member would cover a specific 
period, i.e. the project implementation phase.  Th e conditions of access to the transfer of "clean 
technology" and local capacity building would be  negotiated within the environmental project.

III. PARAMETERS USED TO IDENTIFY ENVIRONMENTAL GOODS 
17. Various parameters for the identification of  environmental goods have been proposed by 
Members in their submissions.  These are presented hereafter in no particular order.  
A. E
ND-USE CHARACTERISTICS  
18. It has been suggested that reliance on a product's environmental "end-use"26 or "direct use"27 
characteristics could be a practical criterion for the identification of environmental goods:  only 
products used for a particular environmental purpo se or medium should be included in the list of 
environmental goods.28  Concerns have been expressed abou t the possible dual/multiple use of these 
products:  certain products may have significant uses other than environmental ones.29  Also, it has 
been stressed that goods that rely on product di stinctions based on processes or production methods 
(PPMs) should be excluded from the list.30   
B. LINK TO EXISTING CLASSIFICATIONS  
19. The products nominated on Members' lists are listed under HS categories, at the 4- or 6- digit 
level.  In certain cases, the entire HS 4-digit or HS  6-digit heading is not exclusively used for an 
environmental purpose, and only part of the category is intended as an environmental good.31  To help 
identify an environmental good within the HS 4-digit or HS 6-digit category, an additional product 
specification or ex-out is provided.32   
C. LINK TO EXISTING LISTS 
20. In the development of their lists some Members have used "reference points"33 to the OECD 
definition of environmental industries34 and/or APEC’s conceptuali zation of environmental goods.35  
For instance, Japan has cited the work done by the OECD on environmental goods in 2000 as 
providing the policy rationale for the products and ca tegories which it proposes.  Switzerland's list is 
based on the OECD definition.36  The United States' list, based on the APEC approach, goes beyond

United States, TN/TE/W/52, para. 2. 
27 "Proposed Initial List of Envir onmental Goods", submission by Chines e Taipei, 7 October 2004, TN/TE/W/44

30 United States, TN/TE/W/52, para. 2;  United States, TN/TE/W/34, para. 7;  Kore a, TN/TE/W/48, para. 5. 
31 In addition, the European Communities has proposed th at since environmental tec hnologies are often delivered 
as packages, specific codes should be cr eated in national nomenclatures for entire systems, whenever they are not already 
explicitly recognized in the HS.  This could, for example, be the case for a wastewater treatment plant, or a system for 
treating industrial sludge intended to be integrated into an  industrial plant.  The European Communities, however, has 
suggested that spare parts and accessories be included in this in itiative only when they are explicitly described as solely for  
the use in the systems identified by Members as environm ental goods.  European Communities, TN/TE/W/47, para. 9. 
32 Korea, TN/TE/W/48, para. 5;  "Can ada's Initial List of Environmenta l Goods – Supplement", submission by 
Canada, TN/TE/W/50/Suppl.1, 1 July 2005, para. 2;  United  States, TN/TE/W/52, p. 2;  European Communities, 
TN/TE/W/56, paras. 6-7;  Swit zerland, TN/TE/W/57, p. 5. 
33 New Zealand, TN/TE/W/46, para. 6 and TN/TE/W/49, paras. 2-3.  For Cuba, the use of the APEC and the 
OECD lists as references for preparing a potential multilateral list has failed to serve the interests of developing countries in 
that they benefit developed country export produc ts and services.  Cuba , TN/TE/W/55, para. 8. 
34 The OECD/EUROSTAT defines the e nvironmental industry as consisting of:  "activities which produce goods 
and services to measure, prevent, limit, minimise or correct e nvironmental damage to water, ai r and soil as well as problems 
related to waste, noise and eco systems.   Clean technologies, processes, product s and services which reduce environmental 
risks and minimise pollution and material  use are also considered part of the environmental industry".  OECD (1999) The 
Environmental Goods and Servi ces Industry:  Manual for Data Collection and Analysis , OECD Publications, Paris.  
35 The descriptive section of WT/GC/ W/138/Add.1 contains further details on the approach adopted by APEC.

the APEC list to cover an additional 46 products.37  For each category in the New Zealand list, 
reference points to the OECD and/or  APEC definitions have been u sed to explain the presence of an 
environmental good on the list.38   
D. CONTRIBUTION TO INTERNATIONALLY AGREED ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES  
21. The following instruments have been referred to as providing guidance to the identification of 
environmental goods:  
- Agenda 21:  Chapter 4 on changing consumption patterns39 and Chapter 9 on 
the protection of the atmosphere40; 
- Johannesburg World Summit on Sustaina ble Development (WSSD) Plan of 
Implementation, inter alia  paragraphs 8, 9, 20(c), 21, 22(a) and (b), 25, 26(e) 
and (f), 36(g), 38(g), 66(d) and chapter IV41; 
- Millennium Development Goals (MDG) addressing basic human needs in 
particular, access to safe water and sanitation, pollution prevention, resource use reduction and waste minimization, e.g. MDG 7 of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water
42;   
- Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), e.g. the United Nations 
Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol43;  the 
Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous 
Wastes and Their Disposal44;  the Montreal Protocol on Substances that 
Deplete the Ozone Layer45; the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic 
Pollutants46; the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent 
Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemi cals and Pesticides in International 
Trade47; and the Convention on Biological Diversity48;

ATEGORY COVERAGE OF MEMBERS ' SUBMISSIONS  
1. Main categories of Members' Submissions 
22. Annex II contains all the products listed by  Canada, the European  Communities, Japan, 
Korea, New Zealand, Qatar, Switzerland, Chinese Ta ipei and the United States in their submissions.  
Members have used categories as a tool to catalogue the products whose purpose or function may not 
have been evident from the HS code in the constr uction of a list of environmental goods and to help 
illustrate the environmental purposes justifying the products' inclusion in the lists.51   
23. In total, Annex II contains 480 entries.52  Most of the entries refer to the area of waste water 
management (118 entries), solid and hazardous waste management (108 entries) and renewable 
energy plant (108 entries).  56 per cent of the entries fall in the area of "pollution management".  The 
different categories used by Members in their lists  as well as the abbreviations contained in Annex II 
are presented in Annex I.  The composition of Annex II may be reflected as follows:

2. Environmentally Preferable Products 
24. A number of Members have included Environmen tally Preferable Products (EPPs) in their 
lists.  The concept of EPPs draws on aspects of the work undertaken by UNCTAD, which defines 
EPPs as products "that cause significantly less 'environmental harm' at some stage of their 'life-cycle' than alternative products serving the same purpose".
54  The European Commu nities has created a 
similar category which encompasses some of th e EPPs:  "goods that have a high environmental 
performance or low environmental impacts".55  It has been stressed, however, that the EPP concept 
should be utilised only when the product to which it  refers can be identified by end-use or disposal 
characteristics.56   
25. It has been said that EPPs are distinct from other pollution-control goods and equipment 
because their environmental benefits arise in the production process, in direct use, or during disposal.
57  EPPs can also be identified on the basis of objective parameters such as composition (e.g. 
the renewable character of components) and/or envi ronmental performance (e.g. energy consumption, 
efficiency, recycleability/bio-degradability, low/zero pollution).58   
26. The main consideration advanced for inclusion of  this category of products in the list has been 
that EPPs are of particular trade interest to developing country Members.59   It has been stressed that 
for a majority of EPPs included in the proposed lists, developing countries were net exporters.60  
Promotion of trade in natural EPPs offers attrac tive export opportunities for natural-products-based 
industries utilizing raw materials and skills that developing countries are relatively better endowed 
with.61   It has been proposed that the definition of environmental goods c over products such as 
natural fibres and colorants and other non-timber forest products and renewable energy products,

61 Switzerland, TN/TE/W/57, para. 15.  According to the findings of the 2004 WTO Workshop on Environmental 
Goods (JOB(05)/21), the ratio of exports to imports of all environmental goods for developing countries was approximately 
50 per cent (UNCTAD, year 2000 data).  Looking at renewable energy and energy efficient environmental products, this 
ratio became approximately 100 per cent.  For EPPs, the ratio was, with 127 per cent, even better.  This means that 
developing countries might have a compara tive advantage of renewable energies an d energy efficient products as well as 
EPPs over pollution control equipm ents of the OECD/APEC list. TN/TE/W/63

including ethanol and biodiesel.
62  Improved market access for products derived from, or that 
incorporate, cleaner technologies, such as "flexi fu el" engines and vehicles, could also encourage the 
use of environmentally efficient products, as those vehicles are driven by a fuel obtained from the 
processing of natural resources available in developing countries.63   
IV. OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO THE PARAGRAPH 31 (III) MANDATE 
27. The following issues have also been raised with regard to the paragraph 31 (iii) mandate:  
linkages between environmental goods and services;  and the provision of tariff and trade data. 
A. LINKAGES BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL GOODS AND SERVICES  
28. It has been stated that the provision of envir onmental services is closely linked to trade in 
related goods as there are many environmental ac tivities that entail the delivery of services in 
conjunction with the use of goods.64  Moreover, the separation of services and goods in a particular 
environmental activity is difficult because these are very often integrated.65  Some Members have 
indicated that the development of their lists of e nvironmental goods has been informed by the types of 
products used in environmental services.66   
29. However, the concern has been raised that the linkages between goods and services have not 
been taken into account by the various negotiatin g fora, whereas proper consideration of the issue 
could encourage the participation of de veloping countries in the negotiations.67  Moreover, it has been 
pointed out that the "List Approach" treats envir onmental goods and services in a mutually exclusive 
manner.68 
30. Finally, it has been suggested that, with a view to maximizing the benefits of trade 
liberalization for the development of environm ental markets, Member s should ensure, where 
appropriate, a parallel liberalization of trade in environmental services.69   
B. PROVISION OF TARIFF AND TRADE DATA 
31. In their submissions, some Members have provi ded tariff and trade data.  For instance, the 
United States has supplied tariff data based on the 2001 MFN rate70 and import data with the average 
value of imports from years 1999 to 2001.71  The import data are provided at the HS 6-digit level 
which may be broader than the actual trade for the proposed environmental goods.72 
32. According to New Zealand, for a number of the items currently on its list, bound rates range 
from 10-15 per cent, and in some cases above that.73  Moreover, New Zealand has some bound rates 
of 30 per cent in its Uruguay Round Schedule, incl uding, for instance, on two EPP lines of interest to

developing countries (product lines of HS 560710 (twi ne made from jute) and HS560721 (twine made

reported that, over the past eight years, more than  90 per cent of the EPPs on the New Zealand list that 
were exported to New Zealand came from developing  countries, including, for instance, countries like 
Bangladesh, Kenya, Zambia, South Africa, Tanzania and India.75

used in standard compression-ignition (i.e. diesel) engines with small or no modifications.   It is 
biodegradable, non-toxic, and essentially free of 
sulphur, aromatic hydrocarbons (such as 
carcinogenic benzene), and produces far less particulate matter during combustion. OECD
