Answer to Questions from China on Remanufacturing 
 
 
Communication from Japan, Swit zerland, and the United States 
  The following communication, dated 20 November 2009, is being circulated at the request of 
the delegations of Japan, Switzerland, and the United States.  
_______________ 
 
 QUESTION:   China holds the view that, on one hand, th e development of remanufacturing industry 
is consistent with sustainable development.  But on the other, it is too early for developing Members 
to commit themselves to anything on remanufactured  goods because this industry is at its immature 
stage and the concept of remanufactured goods is still new to its domestic constituency.   
  China thanks the US for clarifying that this proposal does not require Members to adopt this 
definition of remanufactured goods into their dom estic laws or regulations.   The only binding 
obligation in the proposal is for Members to meet every six month to discuss alleged barriers to trade. 
  Bearing the above clarification in mind, China would like to ask the proponents: “do the current Council for Trade in Goods and its subsidia ry committees prevent Me mbers from raising their 
concerns in relation to remanufactured goods?” If y es, please give an example.  If no, what is the 
value added through this proposal?   
 CO-SPONSORS’ ANSWER:  We believe the merits of trade in remanufactured goods for WTO 
Members require a focused agenda in the Council fo r Trade in Goods, as many relevant market access 
issues raised by our industries cut across WTO Co mmittees and subject matter.  Nothing prevents 
Members from raising these issues in WTO Committ ees now.  However, we expect that a work 
program using the proposed definition of a rema nufactured good as a focal point for discussions will 
produce more value-added discussions and outcomes in the CTG for an industry that is growing in 
importance and can provide significant economic and environmental benefits for both developed and 
developing country Members.    
 The co-sponsors acknowledge that the topic of  trade in remanufactured goods was relatively 
new for most Members when this proposal was firs t raised it in NAMA in 2004 and the concept paper 
was introduced in 2005.  Since then, we have presented information on remanufacturing and the 
issues surrounding trade in remanufactured goods to many Members at the WTO bilaterally, 
plurilaterally, as well as in other fora, such as APEC.  We believe that Members are now more 
comfortable with the concepts and understand how remanufacturing can help the development of their 
economies.  To continue to enhance Members’ fami liarity with these issues, the co-sponsors hosted an 
industry-led workshop in remanufacturing at the WTO on 4 November 2009.  The presentations made 
at that workshop are available to members upon request.

Levantamiento de la prohibición temporal de importación de aves de corral y aves salvajes y sus

El Departamento de Agricultura ha publicado la Orden Administrativa Nº 18, serie de 2008, 
por la que se levanta la prohibición temporal de importación de aves domésticas y aves salvajes y sus 
productos, incluidos carne de ave, aves de un dí a, huevos y semen, provenientes de Dinamarca, 
impuesta en virtud de la Orden Administrativa Nº 09,  serie de 2007, del Depart amento de Agricultura, 
debido a la presencia del serotipo H 5N1 del virus de la influenza aviar.  La Orden Administrativa 
Nº 18 entró en vigor el 4 de septiembre de 2008.  
De acuerdo con el informe presentado por Dina marca a la Organización Mundial de Sanidad 
Animal (OIE), han transcurrido 90 días en los que no ha habido pruebas de la presencia de 
influenza aviar de alta patogenicidad después de  la limpieza y desinfección de las instalaciones 
infestadas.  Según la evaluación de la Oficina de la Producción Pecuaria de Filipinas, el riesgo de 
contaminación derivado de la importación de av es de corral y sus productos provenientes de 
Dinamarca es insignificante.
