 II. ECONOMIC POLICIES 
- State Ownership and Privatization Question 1 We propose the following commitment for th is section of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 as 
paragraph 30 bis: 
"The representative of Montenegro confirmed th at to ensure full transparency and to keep 
WTO Members informed of its progress in the ongoing reform of its economic and trade 
regime, Montenegro would provide annual reports  to WTO Members on developments in its 
programme of privatization, including identification of recently privatized enterprises and enterprises expected to be privatized, as well as relevant legal measures relating to 
Montenegro's privatization programme.  The Work ing Party took note of this commitment." 
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts the commitment as suggested. 
Question 2 
We suggest that the privatization and STE sectio ns of the Working Party Report be merged as 
in other Working Party Reports.  
Answer:  
Montenegro accepts the suggestion. 
III. FRAMEWORK FOR MAKING AND ENFORCING POLICIES 
Question 3 We support the commitment text in paragr aphs 49 and 52 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support. 
IV. POLICIES AFFECTING TRADE IN GOODS 
- Trading Rights Question 4 
Paragraphs 53-54 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. :  We understand that a foreign legal person 
may register a branch office in Montenegro or "part of a foreign firm". 
What information, fees, physical presence, and minimum capital requirements are associated 
with these forms of registration?   
What is a "part of a foreign firm" in operational terms?  Would this be the same as the "foreign 
firm" registering in Montenegro?  May a "part of a foreign firm" act as declarant or importer 
of record?  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 2  
 
 May a branch office act as a declarant or importer of record? 
Answer:
 
A "part of foreign firm" is not the same as th e "foreign firm" registering in Montenegro.   The foreign 
firm registering in Montenegro is the situation where a foreign firm registers a new company in 
Montenegro, in accordance with th e Company Law, meeting all the prescribed requirements (form of 
the organization, minimum capital).  After the regist ration, such company, owned by a foreign person, 
operates as any other company registered in Montenegro.  
The branch office in the form of the "part of fo reign firm" is foreseen as a way to facilitate the 
operation of foreign companies in Montenegro.  Un der this system, foreign company can operate in 
Montenegro, without the need to establish and regi ster the new company in Montenegro.  However, 
any such entity  must operate in compliance with the laws and regulations in force in Montenegro.  
There are no fees and no minimum capital requirements associated with this form of registration.  Physical presence is not required for the registration of the "part of foreign firm".  Any "part of 
foreign firm" / branch office registered in Monten egro may act as declarant or importer of record.   
The following information must be provided for the registration of the "part of foreign firm": 
- Address in Montenegro; 
- Description of the activities; - Name and the form of organization of the pare nt company, and the name of the part of the 
company, if different from that of the parent company; 
- Certified copy of Articles of Incorporation of the parent company and the certified translation 
thereof; 
- Name(s) and address(es) of person(s) authorized to represent the parent company in its 
dealings with any third parties; and 
- Name(s) and address(es) of person(s), residents of Montenegro, authorized to represent the 
parent company in any legal proceedings. 
Question 5 
Paragraph 55 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  We understand that because a foreign 
individual located outside Montenegro may not reg ister as an entrepreneur, this effectively 
means such an individual may not be a "declarant" or "importer of record" that imports a good for a customer in Montenegro.   
Is this still correct following the amendments  to the Customs Code, providing for the 
appointment of an agent to conduct trade on behalf of a foreign individual?  
If so, this limitation would not satisfy Monten egro's trading rights obligations under the GATT 
Articles III and XI and would need to be modified. 
Answer:
 
The situation has changed following the amendmen ts to the Customs Code.  Any foreign person 
(person not established in Montenegro) can now be an importer of record.  No registration of any kind 
is required for such person in Montenegro and no  surety related to importation is required from the 
importer of record who is not established in Montenegro. 
A foreign person must be represented by an agent in the customs procedure administered by the 
customs authority.  However, an agent does not in  any way conduct trade on behalf of a foreign  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 3 
 
 
 person, including a foreign individual.  The importe r of record remains the exclusive owner of goods 
at all times and is the only party who has the right  to dispose of the goods and who is liable for all 
duties and charges through the completion of the cu stoms clearance process.  The sole purpose of an 
agent of a procedural nature.  Th e customs authorities need to have a person who would be able to 
accept service of process on the foreign person's be half.  Foreign person may chose any company or 
entrepreneur established in Montenegro and register ed with the customs authorities, to be his/her 
agent.  The only registration requirement for an ag ent is submission to the customs authorities of the 
written application and the copy of the Certificate of Registration issued by the Commercial Register. 
Montenegro believes that this system is almost id entical to the one applied in the United States, as 
described in the U.S. Customs and Border Pr otection (CBP) Publication No. 0000-0504, where: 
(i) a foreign corporation in whose name merchandise is  entered must have a resident agent in the State 
where the port of entry is located who is aut horized to accept service of process on the foreign 
corporation's behalf, and (ii) a non-resident individua l, partnership, or foreign corporation may issue a 
power of attorney to a regular employee, customs broke r, partner, or corporation officer to act in the 
United States for the non resident employer, wherea s any person named in a power of attorney must 
be a resident of the United States who has been au thorized to accept service of process on behalf of 
the person or organization issuing the power of attorney. 
In addition, please note that any foreign person (both firm or individual) is free to select a distributor 
or distributors of their choice provided that such distributor or distributors have the right to distribute the respective product(s) in Montenegro.  Monteneg ro does not, and will not apply any restrictions on 
the choice of the distributor or distributors, including in relation to the type of enterprise or nationality 
of the distributor.  However, foreign person not est ablished in Montenegro does not have the right to 
distribute goods in Montenegro. 
In addition to amendments to the Customs Law,  a number of other laws, including the Law on 
Medicines, have been amended to make the clear distinction between importation and distribution and 
to provide the right to persons not established in Montenegro to import goods in Montenegro, i.e. to 
be importers of record.  Therefore, Montenegro fi rmly believes that its system does not contravene 
the GATT Articles III and XI. 
Question 6 
Paragraphs 58-63 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  What are the criteria/requirements for a 
firm located outside Montenegro to be granted an activity licence for the importation of the 
following products:  (i) tobacco/tobacco pro ducts, (ii) medicines, (iii) medical devices, 
(iv) fertilizer, and (v) pesticides?  
The fee for the tobacco wholesalers licence is no t related to the cost of providing it, and 
therefore cannot be charged for the right to import and export.   
Please also provide the relevant legal citations fo r these criteria and a copy of the relevant laws 
for Working Party review if they ha ve not already been so provided. 
Answer:
 
The criteria/requirements for a firm located outside Montenegro to be grante d an activity licence for 
the importation are the following: WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 4  
 
 Tobacco/tobacco products
 
Under Article 16 of the Tobacco Law a company or entrepreneur may import tobacco, processed 
tobacco and tobacco products provide that: 
- It is registered with the Commercial Court Register for performing foreign trade activity; 
- It fulfils the prescribed minimum technical requirements for wholesale of goods; 
- It has concluded the contract on purchase of tobacco, processed tobacco or tobacco products 
with the foreign producer or authorized dist ributor of the foreign producer of tobacco, 
processed tobacco or tobacco products, as well as th at the importer of cigarettes is authorized 
by the foreign producer or authorized distributor of the foreign producer for the distribution of such cigarettes on the market of Montenegro; 
- The company, entrepreneur or responsible pe rson within a company has not been convicted 
for a criminal offence of illegal trade or a cr iminal offence of illegal production of tobacco, 
processed tobacco and tobacco products in the three consecutive years preceding the 
submission of application for issuing approval; and 
- The prescribed fee has been paid.  
Medicines
 
Under Article 61 of the Law on Medicines, any company, both Montenegrin and foreign, may export 
or import medicines  provided that such company is  registered with the Drug Agency.  In order to 
register with the Agency, a company must su bmit a written application accompanied by the 
documentation prescribed by the Ministry of Health. 
If the importer is not licensed for distribution and wholesale of medicines in Montenegro, imported 
medicines may be delivered only to compan ies licensed for distribution and wholesale. 
Medical devices  
The Law on Medical Devices is still in the process lead ing to its passage by the Parliament.  However, 
this law will have provisions on importation identical to those of the Law on Medicines. 
Fertilizer  
Under Article 24 of the Law on Fertilizers (RM Official Gazette No. 48/2007) any company or 
entrepreneur, both Montenegrin and foreign, who h as a distribution agreemen t for the territory of 
Montenegro with the fertilizer manufacturer may import fertilizer if it: 
- Owns or leases bonded warehouse, which meets requirements for storing of fertilizers;  
- Has an employee with at leas college degree in the field of agriculture who is responsible for 
acquisition , storing and handling of fertilizers; and 
- Is registered in the Register of Importers, main tained by the Ministry of  Agriculture, Forestry 
and Water Management. 
In order to register as importer, an interested party must submit written application accompanied by 
the documentation prescribed by the Ministry. 
Pesticides  
Under Article 41 of the Law on Pesticides (Offici al Gazette of Montenegro No. 51/2008), any 
company or entrepreneur, both Montenegrin and foreign, may import pesticides whose use is 
approved in Montenegro.  The  only requirement asso ciated with such importation is registration at  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 5 
 
 
 the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, which maintains the Register of 
Importers.  In order to register as importer, an  interested party must submit written application 
accompanied by the documentation prescribed by the Ministry.  
If the importer is not licensed for distribution a nd wholesale of pesticides in Montenegro, imported 
pesticides may be delivered only to compani es licensed for distribution and wholesale.   
Under Article 22, paragraph 5 of the Tobacco Law,  any company or entrepreneur registered as 
wholesaler of tobacco or tobacco products, who has paid the wholesale licence fee, does not have pay 
any fee for the licence to import and export. 
Copies of any laws that have not already provided will be submitted to the Working Party prior to the 
next Working Party meeting. 
Question 7 Paragraph 65 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  We welcome the steps Montenegro has taken 
to bring its import regime into compliance wi th WTO trading rights obligations but we seek 
clarification in the Working Party report from Montenegro on the provisions of the new legislation, i.e., the amended Customs Code, Fo reign Trade Law, Law on Medicines, and Law 
on Medical Devices. 
Concerning the amendments to the Customs Code, Foreign Trade Law, and the Law on 
Medicines, please detail the registration re quirements for those firms located outside 
Montenegro to be allowed to import.   
What are the requirements to establish a "b ranch" in Montenegro?  Does this require 
investment, or is it sufficient to  register and secure a local address? 
Please explain the purpose and role of the "cus toms agent" now required in order for firms 
located outside Montenegro to be able to import.  Could a foreign firm instruct its "branch" to 
act as its agent or declarant?     
Foreign importers should be allowed to import products and retain control of the product and 
liability for all duties and charges through the co mpletion of the customs clearance process.  
Requiring an agent for this purpose would not, in our view, be consistent with Montenegro's 
trading rights obligations under the GATT Articles III and XI. 
When might we see the detailed regulations for the amended Law on Medicine that permit the 
importation of pharmaceuticals without a wholesaler's activity licence? 
When can we expect to see a copy of  the revised Law on Medical Devices? 
We want to work with Montenegro to clar ify these points in the Working Party text. 
We will provide comments on the ne w legislation that we have.   
Answer:
 
In general, firms located outside Mo ntenegro do not have to be registered to be allowed to import. 
However firms that import certain specific goods (med icines, medical devices, pesticides, fertilizers) 
must register with relevant ministers/agencies.  For details please see answer to Question 6 above.  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 6  
 
 Registration of a "branch" in Montenegro does not require investment.  For details please see answer 
to Question 4 above.  
A "branch" can act as a declarant/importer of r ecord.  For details on "customs agent" please see 
answer to Question 5 above. 
As it was pointed out in the answer to Question 5 ab ove, the importer of record is the exclusive owner 
of goods at all times during customs/import procedure and is the only party who has the right to 
dispose of goods and who is liable for all duties and charges through the completion of the customs 
clearance process.  Montenegro firmly believes that this system does not contravene the GATT 
Articles III and XI. 
Detailed regulations for the ame nded Law on Medicine that permit the importation of pharmaceuticals 
without a wholesaler's activity licence are being pr epared and will be submitted to the Working Party 
for review prior to the next Working Party Meeting.  
The Law on Medical Devices is still in the process le ading to its passage by the Parliament.  A copy 
of the revised Law will be submitted to the Working Party for review prior to the next Working Party 
Meeting. 
Question 8 Paragraphs 58 and 59 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Please clarify the following: If a 
person wants to import tobacco products to Montenegro and at the same time wants to 
manufacture tobacco products in Montenegro, wo uld this person be required to pay twice in 
order to obtain the corresponding licenses? 
Please comment on the amount of the fees due in light of Article VIII:1 (a) of the GATT 1994. 
Answer:
 
Under Article 22, paragraph 5 of the Tobacco Law,  any company or entrepreneur registered as 
producer of tobacco or tobacco products, who has paid the producer licence fee, does not have pay 
any fee for the wholesale trade in tobacco products. 
Comment on the amount of the fees will be submitted at the later stage. Question 9 Paragraph 62 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Please indicate the amount of fee for licenses 
for circulation of medicines. 
Answer:
 
The activity licence fee for circulation of medicine s is €1,250, which cover the costs of examination 
of fulfilment of requirements for the circulation of medicines and issuance of the activity licence.  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 7 
 
 
 A. IMPORT REGULATIONS 
- Ordinary customs duties Question 10 We request that Montenegro confirm in the Workin g Party Report text that it intends to bind 
all its tariff rates of duty on all imported goods. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro agrees that its intention to bind a ll its tariff rates of dut y on all imported goods be 
confirmed in the Working Party Report. 
Question 11 
Please indicate what HS nomenclature is being used  in bilateral negotiations.  If it is different 
from HS2007, please confirm in the text that Montenegro will provide a concordance for the 
transformation of the consolidated tariff sch edule and verification of the schedules.  
Answer:  
The nomenclature being used in bilateral negotiations is HS 2007. 
Question 12 
Paragraph 68 (a) of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Please add commitment language in a new 
paragraph: 
"Montenegro undertook bilateral market access  negotiations on goods with members of the 
Working Party.  The results of these negotiation s are contained in the Schedule of Concessions 
and Commitments on Goods (document [...])." 
Answer:  
Montenegro accepts the commitment as suggested.  
- Other duties and charges 
Question 13 We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 70 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support. 
- Tariff rate quotas, tariff exemptions 
Question 14 We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 74 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 8  
 
 Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support. 
- Fees and charges for services rendered 
Question 15 Article 291 of the Customs Law states that Monteneg ro's customs fee must be related to the cost 
of the service rendered and that the Governme nt will "prescribes the type, amount and manner 
of paying the fee." 
Please describe in the Working Party text the customs fee that replaced the ad valorem  fees 
described in paragraph 75 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1, and provide the legal citation. 
Please confirm in the text that Montenegro no longer applies any ad valorem  fees applied on or 
in connection with importation and exportation. 
Answer:
 
The customs fee is governed by the Regulation on Kind, Amount and the Manner of Payment of Fees 
for the Services Provided by Customs Authority (Offi cial Gazette of Montenegro No. 47/08).  The 
fees are payable for the following: 
- Administration of the customs procedure at the venue that is not designated for such purpose, 
upon the request of the declarant; and  
- Administration of the customs procedure outside normal working hours, upon the request of 
the declarant. 
In both cases the fee is €15 per customs officer involved.  Montenegro confirms that it no longer applies any ad valorem  fees on or in connection with 
importation and exportation. 
Question 16 
We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 80 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support. 
- Application of internal taxes to imports 
Question 17 Table 4 is not helpful.  Please provide informatio n on what products are being taxed and clarify 
the tax level categories applied.  
Answer:
 
Montenegro apologizes for the error.  Please see in  Annex the corrected Table 4 (now Table 1).  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 9 
 
 
 Question 18 
For fermented beverages (wines from grapes and ot her fruits, other brewed beverages) there is 
a stark difference in the rate of tax applied to  still wines (220421 and 220429, zero) and the rates 
applied to other fermented beverages, even similar goods such as wines from other fruits.   
Does Montenegro produce wine?  Grape or other?   What other brewed beverages are produced 
locally? 
Please explain how this differential taxation nevertheless ensures that, for example, imported 
wine from grapes is not taxed at a less favourabl e rate than a "like" imported or domestic 
product, as required by the GATT Articles I and III. 
Answer:  
Montenegro produces grape wines.  Other brewed be verages include beer and grape brandy (grapa). 
Under Article 2 the Law on Excise Taxes (RM Offici al Gazette No. 65/01, 12/02, 76/05) excise tax is 
payable for products liable to such tax both produced in Montenegro and imported.  The amount of tax is identical for both domestically produced a nd imported products.  Therefore, the imported wine 
from grapes and the wine from grapes made in Mont enegro are subject to identical excise tax.  There 
is no exception to this rule.  
Question 19 
For must, vermouth, and other brewed beverages (220430, 2205, and 2206), the taxation 
categories in the third column partially overlap  (e.g., 10 per cent - 15 per cent, 40 Euro, and 
1.2 per cent - 22 per cent, 70 Euro).  Please clarify and update. 
Answer:
 
Please see updated Table 1 (formerly Table 4) in Annex.  
Question 20 
For distilled alcohol (2207) and dist illed beverages (2208), there is no  level of tax provided in the 
third column for beverages with alcoholic strength above 1.2 per cent.  Please update. 
We also suggest that it could be moved to the back of the report. 
We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 89 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:  
Please see updated Table 1 (formerly Table 4) in Annex.  
Question 21 
Paragraph 84 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Pl ease identify at what point the tax base for 
application of the VAT to domestic products includes the excise tax? WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 10  
 
 Answer:
 
The tax base for application of the VAT to domestic products includes the excise tax at the moment of 
placing the product on the market for final consumption.   
- Quantitative import restrictions, including  prohibitions, quotas and licensing systems 
Question 22 
Paragraph 94 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  We would like to confirm that Montenegro will 
not reject an import licence application for mi nor typographic errors that do not affect the 
substance of the data.  In order to provide greater clarity, we suggest an addition to 
paragraph 94 of the Working Party Report.  Please add the following text, after the second 
sentence:    
"No application will be refused for minor docume ntation errors which do not alter basic data."  
Answer:  
Article 25 of the Foreign Trade Law (RM Official Gazette No. 28/04) contains identical provision.  
However, Montenegro accepts the addition to paragr aph 94 of the Working Party Report as suggested. 
Question 23 
Paragraph 98 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Mo ntenegro states that the import licenses for 
fertilizer and pesticides are being eliminated beca use Montenegro moved to a system of activity 
licensing in June 2007.  Please confirm in the Wo rking Party report text that all import licence 
requirements on fertilizer and pesticides have therefore been eliminated.    
Answer:  
Montenegro confirms that all import licence requi rements on fertilizer and pesticides have been 
eliminated and agrees this confirmation to be  included the in the Working Party Report. 
Question 24 
Paragraph 99 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  We appreciate the continued steps that 
Montenegro has taken to reduce the list of  goods subject to import licensing.   
In consideration of the amended legislation, "The  Decision on Control List for Export, Import 
and Transit of Goods," which entered into force in July 2007, we request that Montenegro 
provide an updated questionnaire on import licensi ng procedures.  We also seek a table listing 
all goods under import and export licensing regime. 
Why does Montenegro require a non-automatic licen ce for the export of ferrous and nonferrous 
scrap, designated as "non-hazardous waste?"  What are the criteria applied for granting or denying the licence?  What "environmental" i ssue or provision of Article XX or XXI of 
the GATT 1994 are involved in requiring the export licence? 
Where in Montenegro's laws and regulations do we find the legal provisions implementing the 
procedural requirements of the WTO Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures, e.g., those 
found in Articles 1-3?  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 11 
 
 
 Answer:  
Updated licensing questionnaire will be  submitted at the later stage.  
Clarification will be submitted at the later stage. Legal provisions implementing the procedural requirements of the WTO Agreement on Import 
Licensing Procedures, including those found in Articles 1-3, are to be found in the Foreign Trade Law 
(Articles 19-27a) and the Implementing regulation for the Foreign Trade Law (Articles 3-7).  Both the 
Law and its Implementing regulation have been s ubmitted to the Working Party in July 2007.  
Question 25 
Question 31 of WT/ACC/CGR/28 (pp. 13-14): We appreciate Montenegro's response and 
appreciate its efforts to equalize the fees fo r obtaining import licenses from the relevant 
Government agencies. 
Can Montenegro please clarify the reason licenses obtained from different  Government agencies 
have different periods of validity.  Has Monten egro taken any steps to equalize these validity 
periods?  
Answer:
 
The Table 2 below provides information on licenses, issuing authorities and the periods of validity.  
All the licenses issued by the Ministry for Economic Development and the Ministry of Tourism and Environmental Protection are valid for one year.  As  it was pointed out in the answer to Question 23 
above, the licenses for fertilizers and pesticides that used  to be issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, 
Forestry and Water Management have been abolishe d and replaced by the system of activity licenses.  
The only licenses with period of validity of less than one year are those issued by the Ministry of 
Health, Labor and Social Welfare.  Montenegro be lieves that such shorter validity is justifiable 
because of the nature of goods subject to licence.   Arsenic, narcotics and precursors are extremely 
dangerous substances that require more strict and mo re often control, which warrants shorter period of 
validity of a licence.  
Table 2 - Licence Validity
 
 Licenses are Required for: Licenses are valid: 
The Ministry for 
Economic Development  - Derivatives containing only nitro or only nitro's groups (1 
tariff item in Chapter 29); 
- Explosive and pyrotechnic products (6 tariff items in 
Chapter 36); 
- Polycarbonates (1 tariff item in Chapter 39); - Precious metals and metals clad with precious metal (15 
tariff items in Chapter 71); 
- Tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles (1 tariff item in 
Chapter 87); 
- Warship (1 tariff item in Chapter 89); 
- Lasers and other optical appliances  and instruments (2 tariff 
items in Chapter 90); and 
- Arms and ammunition tariff items in Chapter (28 tariff items 
in Chapter 93). One year. WT/ACC/CGR/30

Forestry and Water 
Management - Fertilizers (37 tariff items in Chapter 31); and 
- Pesticides (21 tariff items in Chapter 38). 60 days. 
 
Question 26 
Paragraph 100 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Could Montenegro confirm that the new 
licensing uniform fee applies to licenses for all products, regardless of the Ministry to which the 
importer must apply?  What is the amount of th e uniform licensing fee?  How does the fee relate 
to the service provided?  
Answer:  
Montenegro confirms that the new licensing unifor m fee in the amount of €50 applies to licenses for 
all products, regardless of the Ministry to which the importer must apply. 
Question 27 
We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 101 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1.  We suggest deleting "licensing requirements" from line 4 of 
paragraph 101 given the inclusion of the te rm "licensing" earlier in the sentence.  
Answer:  
Montenegro agrees with the suggestion. 
- Customs valuation  
Question 28 
Paragraph 104 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  We thank Montenegro for the additional 
information on its guarantee system for customs debt.  We cannot tell, however, from the text, 
whether this system (provided for in Articles 194-200 of the Customs Law) accurately provides for the following:  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 13 
 
 
 If, in the course of determining the customs value  of imported goods, it becomes necessary to 
delay the final determination of such customs value, the importer of the goods shall nevertheless be able to withdraw them from customs if, wh ere so required, the importer provides sufficient 
guarantee in the form of a surety, a deposit or some other appropriate instrument, covering the 
ultimate payment of customs duties for which the goods may be liable.  The legislation of each 
Member shall make provisions for such circumstances.  
Does Montenegro's legislation mandate that the importer "shall be able to withdraw" his goods 
from customs with provision of a "sufficient guar antee" in the "form of a surety?"  It appears 
to be more limited that that. 
Answer:
 
Yes it does.  Under Article 42 of the Customs Law and Article 126, paragra phs 2 and 3 of the its 
Implementing Regulation importer ma y withdraw the goods (the goods ma y be released to importer) 
if the importer provides a surety in a form of c ash deposit or a bank guarantee covering the payment 
of customs duties for which the goods may be liable.  
Question 29 
We are reviewing Montenegro's revised legislat ion on Customs Valuation and hope to find the 
missing Interpretative Notes provided for therein. 
We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 106 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1.  We cannot, howev er, agree to accept it until we are satisfied 
that all the Interpretative notes are fully  incorporated in Montenegro's laws. 
We suggest the following revisions for paragr aph 106:  Please add in the first sentence 
"…Annex 1 (Interpretive Notes) THERETO", and begin the second sentence with "SHE 
FURTHER CONFIRMED THAT, TO THIS END, Mo ntenegro would not use in any form…" 
Answer:  
Montenegro accepts commitment language as suggested. 
- Rules of origin 
Question 30 
We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 110 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:  
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support. 
- Preshipment inspection  
Question 31 
We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 113 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1, but suggest one drafting  clarification as follows: in line 7, please WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 14  
 
 add "and" before "Rules of Origin" and begin the second sentence of this paragraph with 
"SHE FURTHER CONFIRMED THAT Montenegro would ensure…" 
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts commitment language as suggested. 
- Anti-dumping, countervailing duties, safeguard regimes 
Question 32 
We are still reviewing the revised legislation provided on trade remedies.   We thank Montenegro for its a ssurances on the use of trade remedies, and we believe that 
appropriate commitment language can be fashioned. 
We will submit our suggestions on both issues in  writing when we have completed the review. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support and is looking forward to receiving the suggestions. 
B. EXPORT REGULATIONS 
- Customs tariffs, fees and charges for services rendered, application of internal taxes to 
exports 
Question 33 
Paragraph 118 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Please add commitment language as last 
sentence of paragraph 118: 
"The representative of Montenegro confirmed th at from the date of the accession Montenegro 
will not apply or reintroduce any export duty.  The Working Party took note of this commitment." 
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts the commitment as suggested. 
- Export restrictions 
Question 34 We place great value on Montenegro's removal of its export duty on ferrous scrap metal and 
note that Montenegro intends to apply its expo rt restrictions in a WTO-consistent manner.  
However, we would like to have information in a table on the goods subject to export licensing, 
including ferrous and nonferrous scrap. 
We will work with Montenegro and other delega tions to confirm its intentions in both areas 
with appropriate commitments for the Working Party report.  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 15 
 
 
 Answer:  
Table 3 below provides the list of goods subject to export licenses. 
Table 3 - List of Goods Subject to Export Licenses  
Responsible Authority Goods Subject to Export Licenses 
The Ministry for 
Economic 
Development - Derivatives containing only nitro or only nitro's groups (1 tariff item in 
Chapter 29); 
- Arms and ammunition tariff items in Ch apter (6 tariff items in Chapter 93). 
The Ministry of 
Tourism and 
Environmental 
Protection - Uranium and thorium ores and concentrates (4 tariff items in Chapter 26),

and 29); and 
- Precursors (22 tariff items in Chapter 28 and 29). 
The Ministry of 
Culture, Sport and 
Media - Works of art, collectors pieces and antiques (7 tariff items in Chapter 97). 
 
- Export subsidies Question 35 Does the Customs Law and/or the related implemen ting decree make clear that any remission of 
import duties under Montenegro's duty drawback scheme will not be in excess of the original 
charges on the imported goods?  
Answer:
 
Yes, it does.  The amount remitted under the dr awback scheme under no circumstances can exceed 
the amount of duties paid on the imported goods. 
- Industrial policy, including subsidies 
Question 36 
We appreciate the additional draft subsidies notification covering 2007 
(WT/ACC/CGR/15/Add.2), and support the commitment to submit a full notification by the date of accession. 
We will have questions with regard to certain programmes described in the draft notification 
and its previous version covering 2006 (WT/ACC/CGR/15/Add.1). 
We support Montenegro's commi tment not to introduce subsidies prohibited within the 
meaning of Article 3 of the SCM Agreement. WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 16  
 
 We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 127 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support a nd is looking forward to receiving the questions. 
- Technical barriers to trade, standards and certification 
Question 37 
This section of the report is developing well, and reflects the substantial progress Montenegro 
has made in the area of Technical Barriers to Trade as the accession process has moved 
forward. 
We are reviewing available documentation and legislation.  We ask that Montenegro provide 
the latest drafts and completed legislation in translation to the Working Party as soon as 
possible. 
We thank Montenegro for its most recent docume ntation to help us evaluate the legislation. 
Answer:  
Completed legislation will be submitted at the later stage. Question 38 We note that Montenegro indicates in paragraph 130 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1  that its 
Accreditation Body was now fully operational and the additional information provided on the establishment of non-discriminatory conformity  assessment procedures in Montenegro that 
allow foreign bodies to demonstrate conformity  with Montenegro's technical regulations 
without the need for a Mutual Recognition Agreement. 
Please provide a copy of the regulation slated for adoption "by the end of June 2008" that 
provides for acceptance of certificates of conf ormity and conformity marks issued abroad. 
Answer:
 
Copy of regulation  will be submitted at the later stage. 
Question 39 
We applaud the work Montenegro has done to br ing its previous "quality" control system into 
conformity with the WTO Agreement on Technica l Barriers to Trade, and to use international 
standards as the basis for its technica l requirements and voluntary standards. 
We also take note of the commitment that from  the date of accession, Montenegro's technical 
regulations and other mandatory requirements will either be applied in conformity with the 
TBT Agreement, or will be made voluntary. 
We will provide our summary comments on this section, and on Montenegro's legislation, in 
writing soon.  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 17 
 
 
 This will include draft commitment language that  is more comprehensive than that offered in 
paragraph 138 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 . 
Answer:  
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support a nd is looking forward to receiving the comments. 
- Sanitary and phytosanitary measures 
Question 40 
We congratulate Montenegro on adopting its ne w Law on Food Safety and its Regulation on 
Notification Procedures of Sanitary and Phy tosanitary Measures (paragraphs 139 and 147 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1). 
As per a July 2008 review of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and International Plant 
Protection Convention (IPPC) websites, it is no ted that Montenegro has not yet joined the 
international organizations.  Could Montenegro pl ease explain ongoing efforts to fully join those 
organizations and associated timeframes in doing so (paragraph 140 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 )? 
Answer:  
After becoming the member of FAO Monteneg ro has initiated activities necessary for joining 
Codex Alimentarius and In ternational Plant Protection Convention (IPPC).  
The process of ratification of the  International Plant Protection Convention is under way.  Once the 
Parliament ratifies the IPPC, the applicati on for the full membership will be submitted. 
Under Article 4 of the Decree on Establishing the Institute for Standardization of Montenegro 
("Official Gazette of RM", N. 21/07, from 13 April 2007), Institute for Standardization has been 
designated as the enquiry point for Codex Alimentarius .  The Institute is in charge of all the activities 
related to joining Codex Alimentarius  
Montenegro expects both processes to finalized soon.  
Question 41 
Drafting suggestion:  Paragraph 140 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1  (page 40) states that 
Montenegro became a member of the "Office International des Epizooties" (OIE) on 
10 July 2007.  We recommend using the "World Or ganization for Animal Health" as this is the 
current name.  In 2003, the International Office of Epizootics became the World Organization for Animal Health, but kept its historical acronym OIE.  
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts the amendments to the co mmitment language of paragraph 140 as suggested. 
Question 42 Paragraph 146 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 states that "labels should correspond to the 
data specified in the producers' specification and requirements prescribed by the Food Safety 
Law."  The Food Safety Law states that, "detail requirements for content, type of the data and WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 18  
 
 manner of their presentation in the declaration, as well as manner of labelling of food of plant 
origin at the primary production level, food of animal origin, composite food and feed shall be 
prescribed in the regulation issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, or in the case of food of plant 
origin after primary production, composite food and other food in the regulation issued by the Ministry of Health."   
Could Montenegro please confirm that its tr ading partners will have an opportunity to 
comment on regulations that would require food  labelling as prescribed by the Ministries of 
Agriculture and Health, prior to adoption (paragraph 146 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 )? 
Answer:
 
Montenegro confirms that its trad ing partners will have an opportunity to comment on regulations that 
would require food labelling as prescribed by the Ministries of Agriculture and Health, prior to 
adoption. 
Question 43 
Paragraph 146 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , page 53:  In regards to the last sentence, we 
note that Article 23 of the Food Safety La w states: "When determining food safety, the 
following shall be considered:..Information provi ded to the consumer, including information on 
the label and conformity thereof with the pr oducer's specification, or other information 
generally available to the consumer concerning the prevention of harmful effects on human 
health from a particular category of food."   
Please clarify whether producer labelling requirements, in addition to the Montenegrin 
Government labelling requirements, are mandato ry for importing into the Montenegro's 
market. 
Answer:  
No, there are no additional labelling requirements.   
Question 44 
We have the following questions regarding the Dr aft Regulation on Notification Procedures of 
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measu res.  If applicable, the same qu estions will apply to the final 
version of this measure (paragraph 147 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1). 
We note that Montenegro's enquiry point will not provide information on the membership and 
participation in bilateral and multilateral arrang ements within the scope of the SPS Agreement, 
texts of those regulations, and upon request, in formation on participation in bilateral or 
multilateral equivalence arrangements.  Could Mont enegro please identify entities that would 
provide this information? 
Answer:  
Montenegro respectfully disagrees.  Article 3 of the Regulation on Notification of SPS Measures 
(Official Gazette of Montenegro No. 13/2008) clearly indicates that the Enquiry Point is the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management.  Under Article 4 of the Regulation, Inquiry Point 
provides information, inter alia , on membership and participation of Montenegro or its bodies in 
international sanitary and phytosanitary organiza tions and systems, in bilateral and multilateral  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 19 
 
 
 agreements and arrangements and provides texts of su ch  agreements and arrangements to interested 
parties. 
Particulars of the enquiry point are the following: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management 
Rimski trg br. 46, PC "Vektra" 81000 Podgorica, Montenegro 
Phone: (+381) 81 482-109; Fax: (+381) 81 234-306 
Website: www.minpolj.vlada.cg.yu 
Question 45 
Article 6 states that, "The Ministry shall notify sanitary or phytosanitary  regulations to relevant 
international organizations including the Worl d Trade Organization, unless otherwise provided 
for by the applicable rules of the relevant intern ational organizations or by the legislation of 
Montenegro."  Could Montenegro please identi fy current legislation(s) that would prevent 
Montenegro from notifying SPS or SPS-related regulations?  Could Montenegro please identify any SPS or SPS-related regulations that WTO Members have not had an opportunity to review? 
Answer:
 
There is no legislation that would prevent Monten egro from notifying SPS or SPS-related regulations.  
There are no SPS or SPS-related regulations that  WTO Members have not had an opportunity to 
review. 
Question 46 
Article 10 states that, "The Ministry shall decide on the necessity for submitting notification to 
the relevant international organization based on  the received notice referred to in Article 9, 
paragraph 1 of this Regulation."  Could Monteneg ro please explain what criteria will be used to 
guide its decision? 
Answer:  
Criteria used to guide the Ministry's decision are those contained in Article 2 of the Regulation, which 
define SPS measures.  
Question 47 
In addition, Article 14 states, "Provisions of Arti cles 6-11 of this Regulation shall apply to any 
significant change or amendment of the sanita ry or phytosanitary regulations, including any 
change of scope of products covered."  Articl e 14 appears to imply that Montenegro reserves 
the right to not notify significant changes or am endments of SPS regulations, as per Article 10.  
Could Montenegro explain the correlation of Article 10 and Article 14? 
Answer:  
No, it is quite the opposite.  The meaning of Article 14 is that significant changes or amendments of 
SPS regulations must be notified in the same ma nner as new regulations that introduce SPS measures. WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 20  
 
 Question 48 
Paragraph 148 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , page 53: Please clarify that the "Regulation" 
referenced in this paragraph is the Regulation on  Notification Procedures of SPS measures.  If 
so, paragraph 148 states that the Ministry is oblig ed to publish a notice of intention to introduce 
"sanitary-veterinary" measures.  Please confirm that phytosanitary measures are also covered 
by this Regulation. 
Also, drafting suggestion:  replace "sanitary a nd veterinary measure" with "SPS measure".  
Answer:
 
Montenegro confirms that "Regulation" referenced  in paragraph 148 is the Regulation on Notification 
Procedures of SPS Measures and that phytosanitary me asures are also covered by this Regulation.  
Montenegro thanks for the drafting suggestion.  
Question 49 
Paragraph 148 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , pages 53-54:  We appreciate that Montenegro 
is providing a 75-day period between publication and adoption of a measure.  Is there a law or regulation that provides guidance on the period of time between adoption and implementation?  
We note that at the Doha Ministerial, Ministers adopted a Decision that "Where the 
appropriate level of sanitary and phytosani tary protection allows scope for the phased 
introduction of new sanitary and phytosanita ry measures, the phrase "longer time-frame for 
compliance" referred to in Article 10.2 of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and 
Phytosanitary Measures, shall be understood to  mean normally a period of not less than 
six months." (WT/MIN(01)/17, paragraph 3.1). 
Answer:
 
Under the legal system of Montenegro, the period of  75 days is a usual period of "public discussion" 
in connection with any legislation adopted by the Government.  
Thank you for your sugesstion, Montenegro confirms that legislation is in compliance with Decision 
on Implementation Related Issues and Concerns take n on 14 November 2001 at the Fourth Ministerial 
Conference in Doha, Qatar. 
Question 50 
Paragraph 151 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , page 55:  We appreciate the additional 
information on Montenegro's continued work to bring its SPS regime in line with its WTO 
obligations.  Could you please provi de an update on the status of these efforts, particularly those 
outlined in paragraph 151?  Further, we no te that the SPS Checklist (WT/ACC/CGR/19) has 
not been updated since February 2007.  We would appreciate it if Montenegro would update the 
checklist. 
We are concerned about the trea tment in the Working Party report of imported goods based on 
biotechnology.  It is not clear from the text that  Montenegro has an appropriate system in place 
for the registration and distribution of these products.  We will provide questions for 
clarification on this issue.  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 21 
 
 
 We are not prepared at this point to agree that Montenegro's SPS regime will be 
WTO-consistent from the date of accession.  We hope to be able to make a more definitive 
decision on this after we receive Montenegro 's responses to our questions and comments. 
Answer:  
Montenegro will update the SPS Control List and submit it to Working Party prior to the next 
Working Party meeting.  Montenegro would lik e to reiterate its commitment to establish the 
SPS regime that would be fully WTO compliant.  To achieve this goal, all the suggestions are helpful 
and Montenegro is looking forward to receiving  additional question and providing necessary clarifications.   
- Trade-related investment measures 
Question 51 
We thank Montenegro for its prompt action to  remove its mixing requirements for tobacco.   
We would appreciate receiving a copy of  the law establishing the new regime. 
We support a commitment along the lines  of the one suggested for paragraph 153 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , with the following gr ammatical modification: 
153. The representative of Montenegro conf irmed that from the date of accession, 
Montenegro would apply its investment regime  in a non-discriminato ry manner to imports 
from all WTO Members and to domestically  produced goods, in compliance with the 
WTO Agreement, including the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs).  The Working Party took note of these commitments.  
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts modification to the comm itment language of paragraph 153 as suggested. 
- State-trading entities 
Question 52 
We appreciate the clarification that Montenegro  has provided with respect to its largest State-
owned enterprises.  We seek confirmation of Mo ntenegro's understanding that the substantive 
obligations of the GATT Article XVII cover not only enterprises with special or exclusive 
privileges, but also State-owned and -contro lled enterprises, in which case the opening 
statement in paragraph 154 - where Montenegro st ates that it had "no enterprise covered by the 
provisions of Article XVII of the GATT 1994" - is clearly incorrect and will need to be revised to reflect this understanding. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro clearly understands the meaning and coverage of the GATT Article XVII.  However, 
Montenegro still believes that although there are St ate-owned or controlled companies (please see 
answer to Question 42 in WT/ACC/CGR/27) none of  them operates in contravention of the GATT 
Article XVII.  All these companies in their  purchases or sales involving either imports or exports, act in a manner consistent with the general principl es of non-discriminatory treatment prescribed in 
the GATT for governmental measures af fecting imports or expor ts by private traders.  Any purchases or WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 22  
 
 sales of these companies are made solely in accordance with commercial considerations, including price, 
quality, availability, marketability, transportation and other conditions of purchase or sale.  Any other 
company, both domestic and foreign has an adeq uate opportunity, in accordance with customary 
business practice, to compete for partic ipation in such purchases or sales. 
The intention of  Montenegro is to privatize its entire economy.  The most of the economy is already 
privatized - 85 per cent.  The remaining 15 per cent will be privatized as quickly as possible.  
However, in order to meet the Member's con cerns Montenegro will accept an amendment to the 
commitment language of paragraph 154 that  would meet the Member's concerns. 
Question 53 
We support a commitment along the lines  of the one suggested for paragraph 155 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , but suggest one drafting clarification as follows: 
The second sentence of the commitment should be  corrected as a grammatical matter to read: 
"She further confirmed that enterprises that are State-owned or -controlled, and enterprises with special or exclusive privileges,  Such ent erprises would also act in conformity with other 
WTO provisions." 
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts modification to the comm itment language of paragraph 155 as suggested. 
- Free zones, special economic areas 
Question 54 We thank Montenegro for its assurances that it s remaining measures for free zones that violate 
WTO provisions will be eliminated prior to acces sion.  We are reviewing the revised law and 
will have comments soon. 
The commitment text in paragraph 162 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1  does not include 
reference to Article 23 of the Law on Free Zones, described in paragraph 161. 
Was this deliberate?  Please clarify, and ame nd the commitment to cover paragraph 161.  
Please include in paragraph 161 a description on  how Montenegro has brought its Free Zone 
regime into conformity with WTO provisions.  We support a commitment along the lines of the 
one suggested for paragraph 162, but suggest one drafting clarification as follows:  in line 7 of paragraph 162, please replace "normal custom s formalities" with "standard customs 
formalities."  
Answer:
 
Montenegro believes that it was not deliberate.  Article 23 should have be en referenced and the 
commitment should have covered pa ragraph 161.  Montenegro will bring the system into conformity 
with WTO provisions by repealing inconsistent pr ovisions of its Free Zones Law.  Montenegro 
accepts modification to the commitment language of paragraph 153 as suggested.  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 23 
 
 
 - Government procurement 
Question 55 We support a commitment along the lines of the one suggested for paragraph 167 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support. 
- Transit 
Question 56 We support a commitment along the lines  of the one suggested for paragraph 170 of 
WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 , but suggest one drafting clarification as follows: Please add 
"from the date of accession" after "confirmed that." 
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts modification to the comm itment language of paragraph 153 as suggested. 
- Agricultural policies 
Question 57 
We thank Montenegro for its statement concern ing its willingness to bind in its GATT Schedule 
of Concessions that it doesn't use agricultural export subsidies. 
Answer:  
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support and reiterates the commitment. 
- Trade in civil aircraft 
Question 58 
We urge Montenegro to provide a statement for this section of the report concerning 
Montenegro's intentions concerning the Ag reement on Trade in Civil Aircraft and the 
application of tariff duties to im ports of aircraft and aircraft parts. 
Answer:  
Montenegro intents to initiate negotiation for th e accession to the agreement on the trade in civil 
aircraft subsequent to the accession to WTO.   WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 24  
 
 V. TRADE RELATED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REGIME 
- GENERAL Question 59 While we applaud Montenegro's progress to date  with establishing a TRIPS-compliant regime 
for the protection of intellectual property, we have a few areas of concern, where we need 
clarification. 
We would like to have a final accounting of legi slation in development that will address the final 
issues raised. 
When we have completed our review of the amended legislation, we will be able to help develop 
appropriate commitment language for this section. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro thanks the Member for the support and is looking forward to receiving the suggestions 
regarding the commitment language. 
- SUBSTANTIVE STANDARDS OF PROTECTION, INCLUDING PROCEDURES 
FOR THE ACQUISITION AN D MAINTENANCE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 
RIGHTS 
- Copyright and related rights Question 60 In the case of copyright, is the operative la w still the 2004 law (Law No. 2004/61)?  Have there 
been recent amendments or new regulat ions developed or enacted recently? 
Answer:
 
It is still the same Law.  Please note that this is  the law of the former State Union of Serbia and 
Montenegro, which is still applied in Montenegro.  Such law cannot be amended by the Parliament of 
Montenegro, because the Par liament of Montenegro did not initiall y pass it.  Montenegro intends to 
enact new intellectual property laws covering all IP rights, including copyright.  The first two laws 
that have replaced old Union laws are the Patent Law and Law on Indications of Geographical Origin.  
The other laws will follow soon.  Capacities of Mo ntenegro are limited, but Montenegro is working 
hard and is determined to maintain its regi me of IPR protection fully TRIPS compliant.  
WTO Members will be informed of all the further developments.   
Question 61 
Paragraph 195 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 :  Montenegro indicates that it is in compliance 
with Article 18 of the Berne Convention.  The te xt of paragraph 195, however, does not fully 
reflect that.  It indicates that "Pursuant to this Article (Article 18 of Berne), copyright 
protection extended to all works, which at the mo ment of entry into force of the Law, had not 
fallen into the public domain.  Works which ha d fallen into the public domain could not be 
protected anew."    WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 25 
 
 
 This is not totally accurate.  Article 18 of Berne provides that such protection is extended to 
works that have not fallen into the public domain as a result of the expiry of the term of protection.  It creates an obligation, however, to  restore copyright to works that have fallen into 
the public domain as a result of failure of forma lities.  The current statements in paragraph 195 
ignore the distinction. 
Please confirm that Montenegro's Copyright La w provides the full protection of Article 18 of 
Berne, i.e., that "copyright protection extended to  all works, which at the moment of entry into 
force of the Law, had not fallen into the public do main through the expiry of the term.  Works 
which had fallen into the public domain through th e expiry of the term could not be protected 
anew." 
If so, please reflect that in the text of paragraph 195. Answer:
 
Montenegro confirms that Copyright Law provides the full protection of Article 18 of Berne, and 
agrees paragraph 195 to be amended as suggested to reflect that. 
Question 62 
Paragraph 196 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1 states that Montenegro will have to amend 
Article 125 of the Law on Copyrights and Related Rights.   
Please provide a status report on enactment of this amendment. 
Answer:  
Please see the answer to Question 60 above. 
Question 63 
Montenegro's Copyright Law provides certai n rights to producers of videograms (see 
Articles 126 - 130). 
Is the subject matter protected by these Articles  the same subject matter as cinematographic 
works under the Berne Convention?   
If so, how do the rights of producers of videograms relate to the rights of owners of copyrights 
in cinematographic works under other articles of the copyright law?  
As noted in paragraph 191 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CG R/4/Rev.1, the Copyright Law provides that 
producers of videograms will enjoy a term of prot ection that extends 50 years from the date of 
production of the videogram, or, if the vide ogram is, within that 50-year period, either 
(a) lawfully published, or (b) lawfully comm unicated to the public, the term will extend to 
50 years from the date of that first publication or communication to the public, "whichever date 
is earlier."  (See Article 144(2) of the Law of Copyright and Related Rights of 2004.)   
If videograms protect Berne subject matter, then this method of calculating the term of 
protection does not appear to comply with TRIP S Article 12, which requires that the term be 
50 years from production, or, if there is author ized publication within those 50 years, 50 years 
from authorized publication.   WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 26  
 
 TRIPS Article 12 does not make reference to authorized communication to the public, and the 
term "publication" in TRIPS Article 12 would require more than just communication to the 
public (see, for example, Berne Convention Arti cle 3(3), which states that "publication" does 
not include such things as performance, commun ication by wire or broadcasting).  It appears 
that in a case where a producer of a videogram,  within 50 years of the production of the 
videogram, first authorizes a communication to the public, then later authorizes a publication of 
the videogram, Article 144(2) of the Copyright Law will provide a term of protection that is too 
short.   
Please explain how Montenegro inte nds to address this concern.   
Answer:
 
Montenegro understands the concern.  To some extent  it is a linguistic issue arising from the original 
language of the law, which was not precise enough an d its subsequent translation.  Nevertheless 
Montenegro intends to enact completely new co pyright law.  For details please see answer to 
Question 60 above.  In addition, Montenegro is r eady to accept a commitment, which would meet the 
concern expressed in this question and invites the Member to propose the commitment language.  
- Trademarks, including service marks Question 64 What is the status of the amendments to the Trademark Law? 
Answer:
 
Please see the answer to Question 60 above. 
- Requirements on undisclosed information,  including trade secrets and test data 
Question 65 
Page 27: Montenegro disagrees with our belief th at the inclusion of "or promote" extends the 
allowed exception under TRIPS Article 39.3.  Speci fically, Montenegro asserts that the meaning 
of the Article 39.3 exception "to protect the public" is broad enough to include protection and promotion of public health, environment and public interest.   
We would note that Article 39.3 only uses the term "protect" which is already included in 
Montenegro's law.  The inclusion of "promote" in Montenegro's law therefore must be seen as 
extending the exception.  In addition, the ex ception also requires that the disclosure be 
"necessary" to protect the public.   
There are likely many justifications for disclosu re based on "promoting" the public interest that 
are not necessary to "protect" the public.   
Accordingly, we again express our belief that Article 9.3.1 of "The Law on Protection of 
Undisclosed Information" should be amended and clarified.  
Answer:
 
Montenegro will amend the Law on Protection of Undisclosed Information and delete the term 
"promote" from the appropriate provision of the Law.  WT/ACC/CGR/30

 - MEASURES TO CONTROL ABUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 
- ENFORCEMENT - Provisional measures Question 66 Paragraph 226 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Please confirm that provisional measures can 
be ordered inaudita altera parte  in cases of irreparable harm to the right holder as required in 
Article 50.2 of the TRIPS Agreement. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro confirms that provisional measures can be ordered inaudita altera parte  in cases of 
irreparable harm to the right holder as require d in Article 50.2 of the TRIPS Agreement. 
- Special border measures Question 67 Paragraph 229 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1: Please confirm that a right holder is required 
to provide adequate evidence for prima facie infr ingement to satisfy the competent authorities 
in an application for the suspension of release of infringing goods as required in Article 52 of 
the TRIPS Agreement. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro confirms that a right holder is requi red to provide adequate evidence for prima facie 
infringement to satisfy the competent authorities in  an application for the suspension of release of 
infringing goods as required in Article 52 of the TRIPS Agreement. 
Question 68 
Paragraph 232 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Article 55 of the TRIPS Agreement requires a 
duration of suspension "not exceeding 10 working days after the applicant has been served notice of the suspension".  Under certain interpretations, the Regulation amended in March 2008 that provides for a suspension time of 15 calendar days, renewable once, may not satisfy this requirement.  Does Montenegro intend to align their legislation with the 
TRIPS Agreement by amending their legislation with the "10 working days" language?   
Answer:
 
The legislation has been amended to  include "10 working days" language. 
- Criminal procedures 
Question 69 Paragraph 234 of WT/ACC/SPEC/CGR/4/Rev.1:  Article 61 of the TRIPS Agreement requires 
that Members shall provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied at least in cases 
of wilful trademark counterfeiting or copyri ght piracy on a commercial scale.  Montenegro 
states that its legislation did not prescribe the leve l of infringing activity required to initiate WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 28  
 
 criminal prosecution and that any level of infringement could be subject to criminal 
prosecution.  This lack of explicit legislation id entifying the types of infringement with available 
criminal procedures and penalties is problema tic as it introduces an unnecessary level of 
discretion and uncertainty related to the initiation  of criminal procedures.  This legal regime 
would likely have a negative impact on the legitimate uses of intellectual property rights.  Does 
Montenegro intend to align its legislation with Article 61 of the TRIPS Agreement by clarifying 
the types of intellectual property rights infrin gement with available criminal procedures and 
penalties?  
Answer:
 
This appears to be a misunderstanding.  The Penal Code of Montenegro clear ly identifies types of 
infringement with available and pe nalties.  These provisions are comp liant with TRIPS Article 61.  
The translation of relevant provisions of the Penal Code have been submitted to the Working Party in 
February 2007.  For your convenience these have be en submitted again to the Secretariat (document 
WT/ACC/CGR/30/Add.1). 
Paragraph 234 should be read in c onjunction with paragraph 233.  Th e statement in paragraph 234 is a 
part of an answer to the earlier question, where the Member wanted to know what level of infringing 
activity was required to initiate criminal prosecution,  for each of the criminal offences provided for in 
the Penal Code.  And the answer is still the same.  The level of infringing activity is not relevant for 
the prosecution; however it is relevant for the sente ncing.  Depending on the level of the infringing 
activity the court will determine the sentence within the limits provide for in the Penal Code for the 
criminal offence in question.  
VI. POLICIES AFFECTING TRADE IN SERVICES Question 70 Following is suggested commitment language for this section dealing with transparency in the 
area of licensing the right to provide Services: 
236. Montenegro's legislation did not impose any restrictions on capital transactions 
affecting the supply of services, the total value of  service transactions or assets, the total number 
of service operations, the total quantity of service output, or the total number of natural persons 
that could be employed in a particular service sector.  The number of service suppliers was not 
subject to any limitation, but foreign persons  were not allowed to establish service companies 
involved in trade in weapons or located in some  restricted areas (e.g. "frontier strip" and 
national parks).  Some restrictions or requirements also existed regarding the type of legal 
entities that could be established.  Commercial banks and companies engaged in brokerage, 
dealing, investment management and underwriting , for example, had to be incorporated as 
joint-stock companies.   
236bis.  [New paragraph] She added that some s ervice sectors, including banking, insurance, 
medical, educational and transport services, were  subject to licensing.  She provided a list of 
State and non-State bodies responsible for issuing service licenses in Tables 7(a) and 7(b).  
Licensing of charter road transport was subject to reciprocity.  In addition, foreign persons 
employed in a branch office or a business entity subject to a business cooperation agreement; foreign persons engaged in educational activities on national and ethnic minorities' languages; sport professionals; and husbands, wives and ch ildren of a foreign person with a permanent 
residence permit were delivered work permits in accordance with international agreements.    WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 29 
 
 
 236ter. Responding to specific requests of a Me mber, the representative of Montenegro 
confirmed that for the services included in Mo ntenegro's Schedule of Specific Commitments 
Montenegro would ensure that its licensing procedures and conditions would not act as independent barriers to market access.  She further confirmed, in particular that, from the date 
of accession, (i) Montenegro's licensing proce dures and conditions would be published prior to 
becoming effective; (ii) Montenegro would sp ecify reasonable time frames for the review and 
decision by all relevant authorities in Mont enegro's licensing procedures and conditions; 
(iii) applicants would be able to request licensing without individual invitation; (iv) any fees charged, which were not deemed to include f ees determined through auction or a tendering 
process, would be commensurate with the admini strative cost of processing an application; 
(v) the competent authorities of Montenegro woul d, after the receipt of an application, inform 
the applicant whether the application was cons idered complete under Montenegro's domestic 
laws and regulations and in the case of incomple te applications, would identify the additional 
information required to complete the applic ation and provide an opportunity to rectify 
deficiencies; (vi) decisions would be taken prompt ly on all applications; (vii) if an application 
was terminated or denied, the applicant would be informed in writing and without delay of the 
reasons for such action.  The applicant would have the possibility to resubmit, at his/her discretion, a new application addressing the reasons for termination or denial; and (viii) in case 
examinations were held for the licensing of prof essionals, such examinations would be scheduled 
at reasonable intervals.  The Working Party took note of these commitments. 
236quater.  In addition, the representative of Monten egro confirmed that, from the date of 
accession, Montenegro would (a) publish in advance any regulations or other implementing 
measures of general application, pertaining to or affecting trade in services, that it proposed to 
adopt, the purpose of the regulation or other implementing measure, the effective date of these measures, and the scope of services or activities affected; (b) provide interested persons and other Members a reasonable opportunity to comm ent on such proposed regulation or other 
implementing measure; and (c) allow reasona ble time between publication of the final 
regulation or other implementing measure and its effective date.  The Working Party took note 
of these commitments. 
236quinquies.  In addition, the representative of Mo ntenegro confirmed that, upon accession, 
Montenegro would publish a list of all organizatio ns that were responsible for authorizing, 
approving or regulating service activities for each service sector, and would publish in the 
official journal, upon accession, all of its licen sing procedures and conditions.  The Working 
Party took note of these commitments.  
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts the commitment language as suggested. 
VII. TRANSPARENCY 
- Publication of information on trade 
Following is suggested commitmen t language for this section: 
242. The representative of Montenegro confirmed that all laws and regulations were 
published in the Official Gazette of Montenegro immediately after their adoption.  No legal act of general applicability could enter into force befo re being published in the Official Gazette.  As 
such, from the date of accession, all laws, regulations, decrees, judicial decisions and 
administrative rulings of general application rel ated to trade in goods, services or TRIPS would 
be published promptly in a manner that fulfils  WTO requirements, and no law or regulation WT/ACC/CGR/30 
Page 30  
 
 related to international trade would become effe ctive prior to such publication in the Official 
Journal.  She further confirmed that upon access ion Montenegro would post the contents of 
current and past editions of the Official Journ al on the Government website and keep them 
current.  In addition, all regulations and other normative acts or measures pertaining to or 
affecting trade in goods, services, or TRIPS woul d be published promptly in a single official 
source, and that no such regulation or other no rmative act or measure would become effective 
or be enforced prior to such publication.  She further confirmed that within two years of accession Montenegro would establish or designate an official journal or website, published or updated on a regular basis and readily avai lable to WTO Members, and individuals and 
enterprises thereof, dedicated to the publicat ion of all regulations and other measures 
pertaining to or affecting trade in goods, servi ces, and TRIPS prior to enactment.  She further 
confirmed that Montenegro would provide a reaso nable period, i.e., no less than 30 days, for 
comment to the appropriate authorities before su ch measures are implemented, except for those 
regulations and other measures involving nation al emergency or security, or for which the 
publication would impede law enforcement.  The publication of regulations and other measures 
related to trade in goods, services or TRIPS woul d, where possible, include the effective date of 
these measures and list the products and services aff ected by the particular measure, identified 
by appropriate tariff line and classification .  The Working Party took note of these 
commitments.  
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts the commitment language as suggested. - Notifications Question 71 Following is suggested commitmen t language for this section: 
242bis. The representative of Montenegro said that, unless otherwise provided for in this 
Report, upon entry into force of the Protocol of  Accession, Montenegro would submit all the 
initial notifications required by any Agreement co nstituting part of the WTO Agreement.  Any 
regulations subsequently enacted by Montenegro  which gave effect to the laws enacted to 
implement any Agreement constituting part of the WTO Agreement would also conform to the 
requirements of that Agreement.  The Working Party took note of these commitments. 
Answer:
 
Montenegro accepts the commitment language as suggested. VIII. TRADE AGREEMENTS  
Question 72 Following is suggested commitmen t language for this section. 
247bis.    The representative of Montenegro confir med that Montenegro would comply with all 
WTO provisions including Article XXIV of the GATT 1994 and Article V of the GATS when 
participating in preferential trade agreements.  To  this end, Montenegro would ensure, from the 
date of accession, that its preferential trade agreements complied with the provisions of the WTO Agreement for notification, consultation  and other requirements concerning free trade 
areas and customs unions.  She further conf irmed that Montenegro would, upon accession,  WT/ACC/CGR/30 
 Page 31 
 
 
 submit notifications and copies of its Free Tr ade Areas and Custom Union Agreements to the 
Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA).  She further confirmed that any legislation 
or regulations required to be altered under its Trade Agreements would remain consistent with 
the provision of the WTO and would, in any case, be notified to the CRTA during its examination of the same.  The Working Party took note of these commitments.
