Negotiating Group on Market Access 
 
  
MARKET ACCESS FOR NON-AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS 
 
Report by the Chairman, Ambassador Don Stephenson
 
to the Trade Negotiations Committee  
   
I. STATUS OF WORK 
 The NAMA modalities are not agreed.  Nor is  my 10 July 2008 draft modalities text a 
consensus text.  Having said this, there is much in  that text on which there is very substantial 
convergence.  Indeed, on the basis of my consulta tions with Members, I believe that all of the 
provisions of the 10 July text could achieve consen sus as they were presented in the text, with the 
exception of those modalities on which I report below.   
 
 Moreover, as a result of intensive work since the release of the text, including the Ministerial 
meeting held 21-29 July 2008 further convergence h as been achieved on a number of issues.  The 
purpose of this report is to record that convergence.     
The "Package
" 
 
 In the course of the above-noted Ministerial meeting, convergence on a number of elements of the NAMA modalities was achieved among Minister s of the so-called G-7 (Australia, Brazil, 
China, the European Communities, India, Japan and the United States).  Subsequently, the majority of 
Members meeting in Green Room format indicated that, while they had reservations over particular 
issues, they could live with the proposed co mpromise outcomes on these elements of the NAMA 
modalities.  However, this convergence was conditi onal on agreement on a number of elements in the 
negotiations on agriculture, and was accepted by  many of these Members only “as a package”.  
Agreement was not reached on all of the agriculture modalities in that “package”.  In addition, some 
Members’ support was conditional upon the outcome of negotiations on other issues – issues which 
were not part of the “package” and remained to be addressed.  These other issues were not agreed and, 
therefore, the convergence on the NAMA issues within  the “package” remains ju st that – substantial 
convergence, but not consensus.     It must also be noted that some Members did not give explicit support to all NAMA elements 
of the “package”.  One Member reserved givi ng support until additional elements of the NAMA 
modalities were resolved, including the issues in paragraph 7(e).  Another Member explicitly rejected 
the “package” and, in particular, the numbers in pa ragraph 5 (the coefficien ts) and paragraph 7 (the 
flexibilities for developing countries subject to the formula), arguing that these did not satisfy the mandate for less-than-full-reciprocity and ambition co mparable to the outcome  in market access in 
agriculture.    
 With these important caveats, I believe it is impor tant for transparency to record the elements 
of the "package" in NAMA.  These are presented in  Annex A.  For convenience, I present these points 
of convergence in the form and paragraph numbering of the 10 July  draft modalities text.  It is 
important to note that the text related to sectoral agreements was the outcome of specific, text-based, 
negotiation among G7 Members.  This text was not, however, considered by other Members.

  Additional issues on which there was substantial convergence
 
 
 In addition to the above noted issues, on wh ich there was conditional convergence as part of 
the "package", substantial convergence w as achieved on the following issues:   
 
(1)  There was convergence on the subject of Members with low bi nding coverage (paragraph 8 of 
the July text).  In fact, this convergence wa s achieved prior to the start of the Ministerial 
meeting and was reflected in JOB(08)/84.  
 (2) There was convergence on the deletion of th e notification requirement for Bolivia in 
paragraph 13. 
 (3) There was convergence, among the proponents an d the Members principally affected, on 
language on Market Access for LDCs.  Th is convergence was on specific modalities 
language, which is presented in Annex B.  Agai n, the form and paragr aph numbering of the 
10 July draft modalities text is used.   
 
(4) There was convergence on the inclusion of Mo ngolia in paragraph 20 of the July text. 
 
(5) There was convergence among key concerned Members on a compromise outcome on 
preference erosion, including paragraphs 28 and 30 and, specifically Annexes 2, 3 and 4 of 
the 10 July draft modalities text.  This compromi se is described in detail in Annex C of this 
report.  It is important to note, however, that one Member rejected this compromise, arguing that all Members should be granted the same treatment – on the same tariff lines – under the 
“disproportionately affected” provisions in paragraph 30.    
 
Issues on which there was little or no convergence 
 
 While the above-noted issues enjoyed substan tial convergence since the 10 July text, little or 
no convergence was achieved in respect of  other issues.  These issues include:  
 Paragraph 7(e
):  Small group discussions were held on this subject and a number of Ministers 
expressed their views on the question in the Green Room and Trade Negotiations Committee debates.  
However, there was no resolution or convergence to  report.  While there was broad support for the 
provision of additional flexibility for South Africa, their demands for flexibilities beyond the range 
and architecture provided in the text were not supported by most Members consulted.     
 Paragraph 7(g
):  The treatment of the Bolivarian Re public of Venezuela in the NAMA modalities 
continues to be an open question.  The two options  presented in the text remain unresolved: that is, 
treatment equivalent to the second band in paragra ph 13 (the SVE modality), which is the proposal by 
Venezuela, or the relaxation of the trade constraint in paragraph 7(a) or (b), the preferred solution of 
some other Members.    Small, Vulnerable Economies (SVEs
):  The open question continues to  be the target average in the 
first band and second bands.  While Members are very close to convergence, linkages to other issues – 
including issues in the agriculture negotiations – continued to prevent a number of the proponents 
from closing on this subject.   Recently Acceded Members (RAMs)
:  At issue is whether the additional implementation period 
accorded to formula-applying RAMs to implement th eir cuts should be 3 or 4 years.  While the 
Members with whom I consulted agreed that the difference between their positions was now “a question of fractions”, there was no final resolution of this question.  There was also convergence to 
delete footnote 8 in the 10 July draft modalities text.     JOB(08)/96 
 Page 3 
 
 
   
Oman :  This issue was not included in the text b ecause no formal proposal had been made in the 
Negotiating Group.  However, since the issuance of  the 10 July draft modalities text, Oman submitted 
a proposal1 as follows:  "As an exception, Oman shall not be required to reduce any bound rates 
below 5%".  Discussions were held on this proposal  during the course of the Ministerial week but no 
convergence was reached.  
 Product coverage
:  While there was convergence to remove the square brackets around the footnote in 
Annex 1 of the 10 July draft modalities text, my  consultations were li mited and one Member 
continued to maintain their objection.   
 
 
II. FUTURE WORK 
 The future of the NAMA negotiations – and th e Doha Development Age nda more generally – 
lies in the hands of the Members.  As requested by many Members in the TNC and General Council 
debates of 30 and 31 July, I have presented this reco rd of the intensive work since the release of the 
10 July draft modalities text.  I have done this with  a view to “capturing” the progress we have made.  
I know that Members will need to rest and then re flect on how they wish to proceed, so I will propose 
no forward work plan, at this time.    As this is likely my final report to the Memb ers as Chair, please allow me to extend my most 
sincere thanks for your confidence and support in this work.

  ANNEX A  
 
The "Package " 
 
Formula 
 
5. The following formula shall apply on a line-by-line basis: 
 
  {a or (x or y or z)} x t 0 
t1 = _____________________________ 
  {a or (x or y or z)} + t 0 
where, 
t1 = Final bound rate of duty 
t0 = Base rate of duty  
a = 8 = Coefficient for developed Members 
x = 20, y = 22, z = 25 to be determined as  provided in paragraph 7 = Coefficients for 
developing Members. 
 
Coefficient and flexibilities for developi ng Members subject to the formula 
 
7. Developing Members subject to the formula shall be granted the flexibility to choose 
to apply the coefficient and flexibilities in  paragraph 7(a) or 7(b) or 7(c).   
 
(a) Coefficient x in the formula and either:  
 
(i) less than formula cuts for up to 14 percent of  non-agricultural 
national tariff lines provided that the cuts are no less than half the formula cuts and that these tariff lines do not exceed 16 percent of 
the total value of a Member's non-agricultural imports;  
  or 
  
(ii) keeping, as an exception, tariff lines unbound, or not applying 
formula cuts for up to 6.5 percent of non-agricultural national tariff 
lines provided they do not exceed 7. 5 percent of the total value of a 
Member's non-agricultural imports
2.  
   
(b) Coefficient y in the formula and either:  
 
(i) less than formula cuts for up to 10 percent of  non-agricultural 
national tariff lines provided that the cuts are no less than half the 
formula cuts and that these tariff lines do not exceed 10 percent of the total value of a Member's non-agricultural imports;  
                                                     
 
2 It is understood that the options in sub-paragra ph 7(a)(ii) (keeping tar iff lines unbou nd or not 
applying formula cuts) may be combin ed but cannot together exceed the app licable percent of  tariff lines and 
total value of a Member’s non-agricultural imports.    JOB(08)/96 
 Page 5 
 
 
    or 
 
(ii) keeping, as an exception, tariff lines unbound, or not applying 
formula cuts for up to 5 percent of non-agricultural national tariff lines provided they do not exceed 5 percent of the total value of a 
Member's non-agricultural imports
3.    
 
(c) Coefficient z in the formul a without recourse to flexibilities. 
 
(d)  The flexibilities provided under paragraph 7 shall not be used to exclude 
entire HS Chapters. In order to en sure tariff reduction in every Chapter, 
without substantially limiting the flexibilities provided to developing Members, this provision shall be understood to mean that full formula tariff reductions shall apply to a minimum of either 20 percent of national tariff 
lines or 9 percent of the value of imports  of the Member in each HS Chapter.   
 
Sectoral negotiations 
 
9. The sectoral tariff reduction component is another key element to achieving the 
objectives of Paragraph 16 of the DDA.  Such initiatives shall aim to reduce, 
harmonize or as appropriate e liminate tariffs, including th e reduction or elimination 
of tariff peaks, high tariffs and tariff esca lation, over and above that which would be 
achieved by the formula modality, in partic ular on products of export interest to 
developing Members.  Participation in sectoral initiatives is on a non-mandatory basis.  At the time of establishment of m odalities the Members listed in Annex 7 have 
agreed to participate in negotiating the term s of at least two sectoral tariff initiatives 
of their choosing, with a view to making them viable.  Other Members are also 
encouraged to participate.  Participation in  the negotiation of the terms of a sectoral 
initiative shall not prejudge a Member's d ecision to participate in that sectoral 
initiative.  Any developing country Member partic ipating in final sectoral initiatives 
will be permitted to increase its coefficient (in such increment as will be determined 
no later than 2 months from the date of establishment of these modalities) commensurate with its level of par ticipation in sectoral initiatives.  
 
10. At the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference, Ministers instructed Members to identify 
sectoral initiatives which could garner suffic ient participation. Progress has been 
made in a variety of sectoral initiatives, where discussions among participants have focused on: defining the critical mass which may include the share of world trade and 
level of participation of competitive producers; the scope of product coverage; the 
implementation period for tariff reduction or  elimination; and special and differential 
treatment for developing country participants. 
 11. It is agreed that new proposals for sectoral initiatives may be submitted.  The 
proposals already tabled and currently under consideration include: automotive and 
related parts; bicycles and related parts; chemicals; electronics/electrical products; 
fish and fish products; forest products; gems and jewellery; hand tools; industrial 
                                                     
 
3 It is understood that the options in sub-paragr aph 7(b)(ii) (keeping tar iff lines unbou nd or not 
applying formula cuts) may be combin ed but cannot together exceed the app licable percent of  tariff lines and 
total value of a Member’s non-agricultural imports.   JOB(08)/96

  machinery; open access to enhanced health ca re; raw materials; sports equipment; 
toys; and textiles, clothing and footwear . These proposed modalities, contained in 
Annex 6, include provisions for speci al and differential treatment for developing 
country Members, including provisions rela ting to “zero for x” tariff reductions and 
longer implementation periods.  Members ta ke note of the specific modalities in these 
proposals and agree to consider any pr oposals to amend them, including the 
provisions for special and differential t reatment such as, among others, partial 
product coverage or participation in sub- sectors, the exclusion of tariff lines on 
which the flexibilities in paragraph 7 have been applied and the tariff lines listed in 
Annexes 2 and 3, as part of the negotiation of the terms of sectoral initiatives noted in 
paragraph 9.   
 12. For scheduling purposes, Members partici pating in sectoral initiatives shall:  
 
(a) no later than 45 days from the date of the establishment of these modalities (i) 
submit any new proposals for sectoral initiatives and (ii) indicate to the 
proponents of the relevant sectoral initiatives, as well as to the Secretariat, the sectoral initiatives on which they agree to participate in the negotiation of 
terms, without prejudice to their final d ecision to incorporate the results of the 
negotiations in their final comprehensive schedules; 
 
(b) no later than 80 days from the date of the establishment of these modalities 
notify the terms of all final sectoral initiatives; 
 (c) no later than three months from the date of the establishment of these 
modalities, incorporate on a conditional basis their sectoral commitments in 
their comprehensive draft schedules; and 
 (d) at the time of the submission of final comprehensive schedules, incorporate 
their sectoral commitments on an unconditional basis
4 for sectors that reach a 
critical mass.  
 
                                                      
4 It is understood that “unconditional” refers to th e Member’s firm commitmen t to participate in the 
sectoral initiative(s).   JOB(08)/96

  ANNEX B  
 
 
Market Access for LDCs  
 
15. We reaffirm the need to facilitate LDCs secure beneficial and meaningful integration 
into the multilateral trading system.  In  this regard, we recall the Decision on 
Measures in Favour of Least-Developed Co untries contained in decision 36 of Annex 
F of the Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration (the "Decision"), and agree that developed Members shall, and developing c ountry Members declaring themselves in 
a position to do so should:  
 
(a) (i) Provide duty-free and quota-free ma rket access on a lasting basis, for all 
products originating from all LDCs by 2008 or no later than the start of the 
implementation period in a manner that ensures stability, security and predictability. 
 (ii) Members facing difficulties at this tim e to provide market access as set out 
above shall provide duty-free and quota-free market access for at least 97 per 
cent of products originating from LDCs , defined at the tariff line level, by 
2008 or no later than the start of the implementation period.  In addition, these Members shall take steps to pr ogressively achieve compliance with the 
obligations set out above, taking into account the impact on other developing countries at similar levels of development, and, as appropriate, by 
incrementally building on the initial list of covered products. 
 (iii) Developing-country Members shall be permitted to phase in their 
commitments and shall enjoy appropriate flexibility in coverage. 
 
 (b)  Provide meaningfully en hanced market access for all LDCs. 
   (c) Ensure that preferential rules of origin  applicable to imports from LDCs will be 
transparent, simple and contribute to facilitating market access in respect of 
non-agricultural products.  In this connecti on, we urge Members to use the model 
provided in document TN/MA/W/74, as appropriate, in the design of the rules of 
origin for their autonomous preference programs.  
 
16. Accordingly, developed country Members shall inform WTO Members, by a date to 
be agreed, of the products that will be covered under the commitment to provide duty 
free and quota free market access for at least 97 percent of products originating from 
LDCs defined at the tariff line level.  The agreement on the date by which this 
information shall be provided shall be c oncluded prior to the date of the Special 
Session of the Ministerial Conference to be held to take decisions regarding the 
adoption and implementation of the results of the negotiations in all areas of the DDA 
(the “Single Undertaking”). 
  
17. As part of the review foreseen in the Decision, the Committee on Trade and 
Development shall monitor progress made in its implementation, including in respect 
of preferential rules of origin .  The details of the monitoring procedure shall be 
defined and agreed by the Negotiating Gr oup on Market Access by the time of the 
submission of final schedules.  Under th e monitoring procedure, Members shall 
annually notify the Committee on Trade and  Development (a) the implementation of JOB(08)/96 
Page 8  
 
  duty free and quota free programs, including the steps taken and possible timeframes 
established to progressively achieve full co mpliance with the Decision and (b) the 
corresponding rules of origin.  The first no tification under this monitoring procedure 
shall be made by the start of the im plementation of the results of the Doha 
Development Agenda.  The Committee on Trade  and Development shall review such 
 notifications and shall report annually to the General Council for appropriate action.  JOB(08)/96
