NOTIFICATION  
 
  La communication ci-après, datée du 2 mars 2011, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation de la République de Moldova .  La notification concerne les prohibitions et restrictions à 
l'exportation (tableau ER:1) .

Tableau ER:1 
  
RESTRICTIONS À L'EXPORTATIO N:  République de Moldova  
 
Notification au titre de l'article 12 de l'Accord :  Prohibitions et restrictions à l'exportation 
__________________________________________________________________________________ 
  1) Désignation du produit: Froment (blé) et mélange de froment et de seigle (méteil). 
 
2) Numéro(s) du tarif:  1001 90 910 – Froment (blé) tendre et seigle (méteil). 
 
3) Nature et justification de la mesure devant être introduite:  
 
 En vertu du paragraphe 2 a) de l'arti cle XI du GATT de 1994, et conformément au 
paragraphe 1 de l'article 12 de l'Accord sur l'agriculture, une prohibition temporaire à 
l'exportation a été introduite afin de prévenir une  grave pénurie sur le marché intérieur due à 
une médiocre récolte de blé en 2010 et d'élimin er un déséquilibre important sur le marché 
intérieur, ce qui est essentiel pour la sécurité alim entaire et la stabilité du marché des céréales.  
La prohibition à l'exportation est une mesure te mporaire qui sera révisée une fois que la 
situation sur le marché intérieur sera stabilisée.   Le déficit de céréales en 2010 est l'un des 
facteurs fondamentaux qui ont me né à la situation actuelle, déte rminée par plusieurs éléments, 
dont: 
 
- des stocks limités de blé sur le marché  intérieur, insuffisants pour répondre à la 
demande intérieure.  La consommation inté rieure de blé est couverte à hauteur de 
93 pour cent; 
  
- des exportations accrues de blé de la Répub lique de Moldova en 2010-2011, deux fois 
plus importantes que pendant la période correspondante de 2009-2010; 
  
- un accroissement de la demande intérieure, plus importante que les années 
précédentes; 
  G/AG/N/MOL/3 
Page 2  
 
  - le maintien des exportations de blé à des niveaux élevés aurait pu entraîner un déficit 
intérieur; 
  
- la diminution de la sécurité alimentaire du pays et l'impact sur les prix finals des 
produits de boulangerie. 
 
En 2010, la consommation intérieure a atte int 772 000 tonnes de blé et 240 000 tonnes de 
céréales vivrières.  Les besoins intérieurs re présentaient 345 000 tonnes de blé, alors que 
seules 240 000 tonnes de céréales vivrières étaient disponibles. 
 
La Décision gouvernementale n° 52 du 2 fé vrier 2011 sur la prohibition temporaire à 
l'exportation de blé a donc pour objet de satisfair e la demande intérieure et de maintenir la 
sécurité alimentaire du pays au niveau approprié. 
 
4) Durée d'application de la mesure:  
 
À compter du 3 février 2011 (approuvé par la Décision gouvernementale n° 52 du 
2 février 2011). 
  Jusqu'au 1
er mai 2011.

_______________ 
 
 
 Prescripciones de etiquetado de los aperitivos (ICS:  67.040)  
 
 La Administración de Alimentos y Productos Farmacéuticos (FDA) de Tailandia propone que 
el Ministerio de Salud Pública adopte y aplique la propuesta de medida notificada en la que se 
tomaron en cuenta todas las observaciones pr esentadas por las partes interesadas nacionales y 
extranjeras.  La propuesta se ha modificado en los siguientes puntos:  
1. El título de la medida se sustituye por el de "Prescripciones de etique tado para determinados 
productos alimenticios elabora dos", dado que el término "a peritivo" no se ajusta a los 
comportamientos concretos del consumidor; 
2. El Ministerio de Salud Pública, en lugar de la FDA de Tailandia, dete rminará posteriormente, 
según proceda, los aperitivos no comprendidos en los cinco tipos mencionados en el proyecto; 
3. El empleo de los colores de las señales de tráf ico en el contenido nutricional se elimina para 
someterlo a una futura revisión. 
4. La advertencia del etiquetado nutricional se m odifica y sustituye por "La ingestión moderada 
y el ejercicio físico mejoran la salud".

PROPOSALS FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE 
EIGHTH MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE 
 
Communication from the Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 
  
 The following communication, dated 11 October 201 1, is being circulated at the suggestion of 
the Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  
_______________ 
 
 
As recalled by the Chairman of the General Council, further to the agreed "gentleman's 
agreement", the agenda for the Eighth Ministeria l Conference should be set six weeks before the 
Ministerial Conference.  The 2 November 2011 dead line by which any Member pursuing an issue for 
decision should achieve consensus is just over three weeks away.  
 
In order to ensure that all Members, regard less of their capacity and resources, are in a 
position to seriously consider proposals made by other Members for consideration for the Eighth 
Ministerial Conference , the Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia urges Members to circulate 
concise textual proposals.  
 
Any proposal should very precisely address the issue(s) for consideration to minimize the 
risks of misunderstandings. Exchanges on the b asis of these proposals may then take place on a 
bilateral or plurilateral basis between Members, if required.   
The Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arab ia invites Members to follow the following 
structure in their proposals:  
 
(i) Introduction/background; 
(ii) Description of the rationale behind th e proposal and its intended effect(s) on the 
multilateral trading system; 
 (iii) Proposed Ministerial language; 
(iv) List of related doc uments, if appropriate. 
 
A standard structure will facilitate considerati on of proposals within the short time remaining 
before the 2 November deadline, particularly for those Members with fewer resources.  It will also 
allow Members to more easily compare proposals on identical or similar issues, if any.  
 
The Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia believes that this procedural suggestion will 
allow the membership to seriously review all the proposals made by Members and will facilitate our 
work on the agenda of the Eighth Ministerial Conference.   In view of the very limited time remaining, 
it is essential that all the efforts made by each and ev ery Member be rapidly and properly considered 
for consensus to be reached on a significant number of issues .
