_______________ 
  
 En 1997, l'Australie a noté que l'Office de stabilisation des prix du sucre avait été absorbé par 
l'Office de l'agriculture et de l'élevage (ALIC) .  Elle a alors posé des questions au sujet des 
dispositions administratives concer nant l'ALIC (G/STR/Q1/JPN/2). 
 
• Comme le Japon continue de notifier l'Office de  l'agriculture et de l'élevage en tant 
qu'entreprise commerciale d'État, pourrait-il donner des précisions sur les dispositions 
administratives concernant l'ALIC, co mme il est indiqué dans le document 
G/STR/Q1/JPN/2? 
• Le Japon pourrait-il également indiquer si l'ALIC continue d'administrer la 
distribution intérieure des importations de  sucre?  Dans l'affirmative, pourrait-il 
préciser les dispositions administratives, y comp ris les droits d'importation et de vente 
ultérieure, ainsi que tous arrangements en matière de prix?

AMPLIACIÓN DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA 
 
Comunicación de las Comunidades Europeas
 
  
 La presente comunicación, de fecha 17 de novi embre de 2005, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación de las Comunidades Europeas. 
_______________ 
  
 Como ustedes saben, a raíz de la ampliación de las Comunidades Europeas el 1º de mayo 
de 2004 y de conformidad con la comunicación de las Comunidades Europeas y su posterior 
declaración en la reunión del Consejo General celebrada el 29 de junio de 2005, el plazo previsto en el 
artículo XXVIII del GATT para el retiro de la s concesiones sustancialmente equivalentes fue 
prorrogado a 21 meses después del retiro y la modificación de las concesiones de las CE y sus 10 nuevos Estados miembros, es decir, hasta el  1º de febrero de 2006 (G/L/695/Add.2).  Esa 
comunicación recibió el respaldo del Consejo General.  
  Con objeto de asegurar que los Miembros se reservan sus derechos mientras se comunican a la Secretaría de la OMC los acuerdos alcanzados en el contexto del párrafo 6 del artículo XXIV 
(GATT), las CE creen que es conveniente  una nueva prorroga de 6 meses. 
 
 En consecuencia, y como continuación de la notificación de las CE, de 19 de enero de 2004, 
sobre la adhesión a la Unión Europea de la Re pública Checa, la República de Chipre, la República 
Eslovaca, la República de Eslovenia, la República de Estonia, la República de Hungría, la República

Delegation of Belize.

Programme under the Fiscal Incentives Act 
Programme under the Export Processing Zone Act Programme under the Commercial Free Zone Act 
 
• The United States welcomes the fact that Belize has enlisted technical and legal 
assistance from CARICOM as part of the process of eliminating the above export subsidy programmes.  In that regard, the United States would appreciate a description of the specific internal steps Belize has take n to prepare for the termination of these 
export subsidy programmes.  Could Belize please include in its description how it 
intends to ensure that the programmes w ill be phased out by 31 December 2015?  
Further, please state whether the beneficiaries of these programmes have been notified individually or through industry associatio ns that all benefits under these programmes 
will be terminated by 31 December 2015. 
 Reply
 
  The incentive programmes under Belize's Fiscal  Incentives Act, Export Processing Zone Act, 
and the Free Zones Act are being reviewed by the respective government agencies to ensure 
compliance with Belize's WTO obligations.   
 Upon completion of the review, which will in clude the input of the technical and legal 
assistance from the CARICOM Secretariat, the G overnment of Belize will take the recommended 
steps to make the necessary adjustments of any secti ons to the Acts that are not compliant with the 
WTO rules.  We are anticipating such assistance at the end of April.  
 Government is currently in discussion with several  of the more significant participants in the 
incentive programmes to ensure that  they do not misinterpret the indication that there will be 
adjustments to the Acts.  A written notice will be forwarded to all stakeholders by midyear.  The 
cautious approach to the notification of the benefici aries of the programmes has been to ensure that

conditions.   The Government of Belize is preparing its Me dium Term Economic Stra tegy which will serve 
as an additional aid to properly structure the count ry's incentive programmes and to ensure that they 
comply with WTO rules by the 2015 deadline.
