 Pursuant to Article 6.2 of the TRIMs Agreement, the Government of Armenia wishes to inform 
that no publications in Armenia contain information on TRIMs, as Armenia does not operate, nor intends

Australia  
 
 Australian laws are essentially in  the forms of statutes and impl ementing regulations.  Statutes 
are printed separately while regulations are publis hed in the Commonwealth Gazette.  Ministers, 
Departments and other agencies issue media releases and other forms of public notice.  Bills before 
Parliament usually have explan atory memoranda as well as being elaborated upon in debate, in 
particular in Second Reading speeches.  Parliament ary debate is published in Hansard.  Similar 
arrangements hold for State and Territory governments.

  Pursuant to Article 6.2 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures, the 
United States hereby makes the following notification. 
  The United States is not aware of any special publications in which Federal or State trade-related investment measures (TRIMs) can be found.  However, generally, all US Federal Laws are in 
the forms of statutes and implementing regulations.  Federal statutes are printed separately and can be 
found in the United States Code , published by the United States Government Printing Office in 
Washington D.C.  Federal regula tions are first published in the Federal Register , and later compiled 
in the Code of Federal Regulations , published by the Office of th e Federal Register, National 
Archives and Record Administration in Washington D.C.   Information concerning subfederal laws and re gulations, if any, relating to investment of 
individual states may be obtained from the Attorneys Ge neral of each state.  Below is a listing of the 
names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the Atto rneys General for each of the 50 states.  Many 
states also have development agencies located in  the state capitals which may be able to provide 
information concerning investment.  In addition, many states maintain offices in cities overseas to 
better facilitate the foreign investors access to info rmation about investment opportunities.  A listing 
of the relevant states and the location of their forei gn offices is also to be found below.  The National 
Association of State Development Agencies in Washington D.C., telephone number (202) 898 1302,
