If applicable, name of local government involved (Articles 3.2 and 7.2):

4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff heading. 
ICS numbers may be provided in  addition, where applicable):   Equipment for small 
domestic wastewater treatment 
5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document:   SEPA:s guidelines 
(200x:xxx) about small domestic wastewater tr eatment plans (13 pages, in Swedish) 
6. Description of content:  These guidelines state the performance and/or function 
requirements, life expectancy, ease of use and maintenance for waste water treatment plants.  
To assure the correct level of protection to the surroundings, two levels of protection are 
suggested, “normal” and “high”. Consideri ng environmental protection, normal level 
prescribes a 70% reduction of phosphate and a 90%  reduction of biochemical oxygen, while 
the high level also prescribes a reduction in the level of nitrogen.  Concerning health-protection, the normal level states that there cannot be an essentially increased risk of 
infection.  The high level requires supplementary measures. 
A section of the guideline deals with the location of wastewater treatment plants stating  that 
there are no discharges into open water area sa nd also prescribes set distances between the 
plants and water catchments areas, to protect the water catchments areas from being infected.
 
7. Objective and rationale, including the na ture of urgent problems where applicable:  
Euthrophication is a big problem and the small treatment plants contribute severely to this 
and properties not connected to municipal wastewater treatment plants are the second 
biggest source of phosphorous, 640 tons.  These plants also generate nitrogen.  Many 
properties lack any type of wastewater treat ments and do not reduce the pollution that is 
required corresponding to what the environment might handle.

  El Grupo Africano desea que el texto actual rela tivo al trato especial y diferenciado que se 
recoge en los párrafos 29 a 32 del Proyecto de Texto Ministerial  (WT/MIN(05)/W/3) sea sustituido por el siguiente: 
 
 Reafirmamos que las disposiciones sobre trat o especial y diferenciado son parte integrante 
de los Acuerdos de la OMC.  Observamos con preocupación que la labor sobre el trato 
especial y diferenciado debería haberse conclui do en julio de 2002.  Renovamos nuestra 
resolución de cumplir el mandato contenido en el  párrafo 44 del mandato de Doha, de que se 
examinen todas las disposiciones sobre trato especial y diferenciado con miras a reforzarlas 
y hacerlas más precisas, eficaces y operativas.  A este respecto, tomamos nota de que se han 
hecho algunos progresos con respecto al logro de un acuerdo sobre las propuestas […] y 
disponemos que se lleve a cabo una labor adicional sobre esas propuestas.  Habida cuenta de 
los limitados progresos realizados en las cues tiones remitidas a los órganos subsidiarios, 
disponemos que todas las cuestiones pendientes relativas al trato especial y diferenciado se 
aborden en el Comité de Comercio y D esarrollo en Sesión Extraordinaria lo más 
rápidamente posible, dando priori dad a las propuestas relativas a acuerdos específicos.  El 
Comité en Sesión Extraordinaria rendirá info rme al Consejo General, con recomendaciones 
claras para la adopción de una decisión, en  julio de 2006 a más tardar.  Encomendamos 
además al Comité en Sesión Extraordinaria  que lleve a cabo una labor encaminada a la 
incorporación de un marco de comercio y d esarrollo a la estructura de las normas 
de la OMC.
