  ¿Podría Australia indicar cuántos buques se be nefician anualmente de cada uno de los 
programas? 
 
2. Programas subfederales 
  La respuesta de Australia a nuestra última pr egunta fue que los presupuestos de los programas 
subfederales están todos agregados debido a la naturaleza de las licitaciones públicas entre las 
administraciones subfederales para las inversiones en Australia, y a la necesidad de proteger los datos comerciales confidenciales.  No obstante, sería in teresante saber cuántos proyectos se financiaron con 
cargo a ese programa en cada uno de los Estados federales.

Tipos arancelarios no consolidados - Establecimiento de tipos de base  
 
Comunicación del Canadá, Hong Kong, China, Nueva Zelandia y  Noruega 
 
 
 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 7 de ma rzo de 2005, se distribuye a petición de las 
delegaciones del Canadá, Hong Kong, China, Nueva Zelandia y Noruega. 
 
_______________ 
 
 1. En el contexto de la aplicación de una fórmul a de reducción arancelaria, no hay duda de que 
es necesario tomar una decisión sobre cómo se establecerán los tipos de base para los aranceles que 
actualmente están sin consolidar.  En el documen to TN/MA/W/35/Rev.1, se propuso que esos tipos no 
consolidados se duplicaran a efectos de establecer su s tipos de base.  No obstante, varias delegaciones 
señalaron que para los tipos bajos esa duplicación  sería insuficiente.  Por otro lado, algunas 
delegaciones opinaron que para los tipos  altos una duplicación sería excesiva.   
2. Como solución que podría atender las necesi dades de todos los Miembros, el Canadá, 
Hong Kong, China, Nueva Zelandia y Noruega propone n que se aplique a los tipos sin consolidar un 
aumento no lineal.  Sugerimos un método sencillo según el cual se añadirían 5 puntos porcentuales (absolutos) a cada tipo sin consolidar antes de aplicar la fórmula.  Se trata de un aumento no lineal, con los siguientes resultados que sirven de muestra:

 3. El aumento sólo se aplicaría a los tipos no c onsolidados sujetos a re ducciones basadas en la 
fórmula.  El gráfico que se adjunta ilustra el efecto del aumento no lineal.
