EL PRESUPUESTO DE 2007 Y ANTICIPO AL FONDO 
DE OPERACIONES:  ADHESIÓN DEL 
REINO DE TONGA A LA OMC 
 
Nota del Director General  
  1. Habida cuenta de la adhesión del Reino de Tonga a la OMC el 27 de julio de 2007 de 
conformidad con el párrafo 8 de l Protocolo de Adhesión, se propone que se señale a ese Gobierno una 
contribución a prorrata para el presupuesto de 2007  por el importe de 11.720 FS.  Esta cantidad, 
calculada a partir del 27 de julio de 2007,  se basa en una contribución anual del 0, 015 por ciento, 
teniendo en cuenta las cifras del comercio exteri or (importaciones más exportaciones de mercancías, 
servicios y derechos de propiedad intelectual) de Tonga correspondientes a los años 2001 y 2002. 
2. De conformidad con el artícul o 28 del Reglamento Financie ro de la OMC (documento 
WT/L/156/Rev.2), que rige la utilización del Fondo de Operaciones, "Los gobiernos que se adhieran a 
la OMC harán un anticipo al Fondo con arreglo a la escala de c ontribuciones aplicable para el 
presupuesto del año de su adhesión.  El antici po mínimo al Fondo de Operaciones será del 0,5 por 
ciento del capital del Fondo para los países [...] cuya participación en el comercio total de los 
Miembros sea del 0,5 por ciento o inferior."  Es os anticipos se acreditará n a los Miembros que los 
hayan pagado. 
3. Como el 30 de junio de 2007 el Fondo de Operaciones se elevaba a 9.426.205 FS, se pr opone 
que se señale al Gobierno del Reino de Tonga la suma de 47. 131 FS en concepto de anticipo al F ondo.

(HS Code:  0105), poultry meat (HS Code:  0207) , day-old chicks (HS Code:  0105.11), eggs 
(HS Code:  0407) and semen (HS Code:  0511.99))  
 The Department of Agriculture (DA) i ssued Memorandum Order (MO) No. 12, series 
of 2010, lifting the temporary ban on the importa tion of domestic and wild birds and their products 
including poultry meat, day-old chicks and semen originating from Germany, which was imposed per 
DA MO No. 32, series of 2009, due to the detectio n of  low pathogenic avian influenza.  DA MO 
No. 12, s. 2010 took effect on 25 March 2010. 
 Based on the report submitted to the World Or ganization for Animal Health (OIE) last

Germany declares that the low pathogenic avian in fluenza (LPAI) incident has been successfully

contamination from importing poultry and pou ltry products from Germany is negligible.

_______________ 
 
 
Question 
 
Partial or Total Exemption from Income Tax of Profits Generated from Exports under Law 
No. 57 of 1985, as amended 
 
• The United States would welcome an explanat ion of the specific internal steps Jordan 
has taken to prepare for the termination of  this export subsidy programme.  Could 
Jordan please include in its description how it  intends to ensure that the programme will 
be phased out by 31 December 2015?  Further,  please explain whether the beneficiaries 
of these programmes have been notified indi vidually or through industry associations 
that all benefits under these programmes will be terminated by 31 December 2015.    
 
Reply
 
 
 The internal steps taken by Jordan for te rminating the export subsidy programme have 
included  consultations with the main relevant govern ment bodies and organizations among which is 
the Income Tax Department as the authority respons ible for the implementation in addition to other 
related bodies.  Accordingly, it was stated clearly for all the concerned bodies that the programme will 
be phased out by the end of 2015 and no further exte nsions of the programme will be given after that 
time, and it was taking into account the consideration of any amendments that might be necessary, in 
addition to taking steps to monitor the implementati on of the programme to ensure that no exporter 
will benefit after the date of termination.     Beneficiaries were also notified through industr y associations that the extension is given on a 
yearly basis, and that Jordan will phase out this programme at the end of the extension period as set 
out in the general council decision of the WTO, and all benefits under this programme will be 
terminated by 31 December 2015.
