ASISTENCIA TÉCNICA 
El Japón ofrece otros 525.913 franco s suizos para el programa de 
formación de la OMC en beneficio de los países en desarrollo 
El Japón ha donado otros 525.913 francos suizos  al Fondo Fiduciario Global del Programa 
de Doha para el Desarrollo (FFGPDD).   
 
Esta donación se destinará a financiar programas de asistencia técnica y actividades de formación para los países en desarrollo y menos adelantados, así como para las economías en transición.  El 
objetivo es ayudarlos a adaptar mejor sus prácticas y leyes a las normas y disciplinas de la OMC, a 
cumplir más fácilmente sus obligaciones y a ejercer en mayor medida sus derechos como Miembros.   
 
En 2007 la contribución del Japón al FFGPDD asciende ya a 648.499 francos suizos.  Esta es la segunda donación que este país efectúa en el presente año.  Anteriormente, en el mes de marzo, 
el Japón donó 122.586 francos suizos para financiar una taller regional relativo al Acuerdo sobre 
los ADPIC para países africanos de habla francesa.    
En conjunto, la contribución del Japón al FFGPDD asciende a más de 5 millones de francos suizos. 
 El Director General de la OMC, Pascal Lamy declaró:  "Me congratula esta donación, que 
demuestra la constante determinación del Japón de ayudar a los países en desarrollo a integrarse 
en la economía mundial y a beneficiarse del sistema multilateral de comercio."   
El Embajador del Japón, Ichiro Fujisaki, declaró:  "El Japón siempre ha prestado, y seguirá 
prestando, un fuerte respaldo al Fondo de Doha para el Desarrollo.  Esta contribución refleja 
nuestro firme compromiso de proporcionar asistencia a los países en desarrollo para ayudarles a 
mejorar su participación en el sistema multilateral de comercio, mediante el fomento de una mejor 
comprensión de las normas de la OMC."

 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 26 de j unio de 2008, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación de las Comunidades Europeas . 
 
_______________ 
 
 
 Las Comunidades Europeas informan a los Mi embros del Comité OTC sobre una propuesta 
de Reglamento del Consejo que modifica el Reglamento (CE) 834/2007 sobre producción y 
etiquetado de los productos ecológicos.  
 El Reglamento (CE) Nº 834/2007 se notificó en  la etapa de proyecto mediante el documento 
G/TBT/N/EEC/101.  El texto adoptado se publicó en el Diario Oficial de la UE L 189, de 20 de Julio 
de 2006, pág. 7, y también está disponible en: http://eur-
lex.europa.eu/Notice.do?val=452933:cs&lang=en &list=461592:cs,452933:cs,&pos=2&page=1&nbl=
2&pgs=10&hwords  
El Reglamento (CE) Nº 834/2007 del Consejo sobre producción y etiquetado de los productos 
ecológicos se aplicará a partir del 1º de enero de 2 009. Con arreglo a lo dispuesto en el artículo 24, 
apartado 1, letra b, a partir de esa fecha será ob ligatorio el uso de un logotipo comunitario en los 
productos ecológicos envasados. Antes de esa fecha,  el uso del logotipo co munitario es optativo. 
El objetivo de la normativa propuesta es apl azar la obligatoriedad del uso del logotipo 
comunitario hasta el 1º de julio de 2010.  El aplazamiento es necesario porque es preciso diseñar un nuevo logotipo comunitario, y contribuirá a evitar: 
- la confusión que podría crear entre los c onsumidores un cambio tan rápido de logotipo, y  
- la imposición de una carga financiera adic ional a los agentes económicos, quienes se verían 
obligados a sustituir sus envases e impresos en unos plazos muy breves.
