MARKET ACCESS FOR NON-AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Communication from Japan
The following communication, dated 5 November 2002, has been received from the
Permanent Mission of Japan.
_______________
Japan submits a proposal on modalities in accordance with paragraph 2 of the work program
agreed upon on 19 July.  Although Japan already submitted its contribution paper dated 5 August, this
proposal replaces the contribution paper, and major changes or additions in the proposal are dulymarked for the convenience of other Members.
Background
         Through the past several rounds of negotiations, tariffs on non-agricultural products have been
substantially reduced, market access has been improved, and accordingly, the predictability and
credibility of trade has been enhanced.  Japan already achieved one of the lowest tariff levels amongWTO Members, and has done its utmost to liberalize market access through measures including an
approximately 60 per cent cut of bound rates in spite of the fact that the majority of WTO Members
on average committed themselves to a cut of about 30 per cent during the Uruguay Round. However,
as there is still room for further improvement among WTO Members, Japan is prepared to actively
engage in non-agricultural market access negotiations with other WTO Members in accordance withthe Doha Ministerial Declaration.
      International trade can play a major role in  the promotion of economic growth and the alleviation
of poverty, as stated  in the Declaration;  and in this context, an improvement in market access can
play an important role.
While improving market access through negotiations on the non-agricultural market access is
beneficial to all  WTO Members, several studies in the past have clearly indicated that, in the course
of world economic growth enhanced by the expansion of world trade, developing countries, especially
the LDCs, are also able to enjoy benefits accord ing to their development needs. The World Bank
Study also suggests that if about 33 per cent tariff reductions were to be implemented, 95 per cent of
the economic merits of the reductions would be brought to the benefit of developing countries.
Accordingly, WTO Members should make efforts to further stabilize the multilateral trading system
and promote negotiations to enable all WTO Members to benefit.

on Trade and Environment in Special Session.TN/MA/W/15

         The Japanese contribution paper dated 5 August 5 illustrated the above consideration as well as
the points of discussion necessary toward the modality agreement.  Taking into account the major
elements of the paper and the discussions during the Negotiation Group,  the Government of Japan
would like to make a proposal on modality.  Japan reserves the right to submit additional proposals,along with any evolvement in the negotiations and is actively prepared to make further contributions
to the negotiations.
Specific proposals
         In considering modalities, what matters most is an overall balance in the outcome of the
negotiations.  Further, the negotiations should aim at a comprehensive package without a priori
exclusion of products, as agreed upon in the Doha  Declaration.  Needless to say negotiations should
proceed giving due consideration to the situation surrounding individual products.
1. Improvement of binding ratio:
Improving the binding ratio (ratio of bound tariff lines against all tariff lines) is an important
issue in securing predictability and credibility in world trade.  WTO Members should improve binding
ratios by binding the tariffs of as many tariff lines as possible and should also improve the quality of
concessions.
2. Reduction of tariff rates by trade-weighted average target tariff  formula:
 Taking into account that a wide disparity in tariff rates exists among Members after the
conclusion of the Uruguay Round, it is vital to reduce tariff rates by setting a target level of  a
trade-weighted  average tariff rate for each Member according to the level of its bound rate(trade-
weighted average),while giving consideration to the level of  development of each Member. This
approach will contribute to the harmonization of tariff levels of  WTO Members, which is necessaryfor promoting appropriate liberalizations in world trade.
Japan proposes that each Member set a target level of a trade- weighted average tariff rate
according to a formula while giving consideration to the level of development of each Member, with
less than full reciprocal treatment for developing countries which have higher trade weighted average
tariff rates, and that each Member reduce its trade- weighted average tariff rate to that level. Each
Member will retain flexibility on ways to realize the target tariff level. Tariff peaks and tariffescalations should be rectified through “Zero-for-Zero” or “Harmonization” approaches for sectors
referred to in Point 3 below.
The proposal for a specific formula on the trade-weighted average target tariff reduction is as
follows:
(a) All Members except LDCs
t
t  =  t o * (t o + A) + α
to ≤ 10%, A = 10
10% < t o  ≤ 20%, A = 20
20% < t o  ≤ 30%, A = 30
30% < t o, A = 40
α = 0.3
tt : trade-weighted average target tariff rate
to : bound rate (trade-weighted average)TN/MA/W/15
TN/TE/W/17
Page 3
(Note) The method on how to calculate the trade-weighted average tariff rates- As to tariff rates, bound rates of duty are to be used.
- As to import data of values, the latest available data is preferred, however, technical restraints
on developing countries should be taken into account.
Therefore, the use of import data of values for the year 2000 as basic statistics is proposed
because more Members  notified their data for the year 2000 to the WTO Secretariat than they did for
the year 2001.
- Non-ad valorem duties will be converted to ad valorem equivalents based on the year 2000
import statistics.
- All products except for agricultural products are subject to the calculation.
(b) LDCs
LDCs are proposed to improve binding ratios by binding as many tariff lines as possible and
not required to apply the above formula to tariff reductions.
3. ”Zero-for-Zero” and “Harmonization”
       Since the “Zero-for-Zero” and “Harm onization” approaches adopted during the Uruguay
Round achieved certain good results, these approaches should be promoted as follows during thesenegotiations.
Taking into account the disparity of tariff structures  among  WTO Members as a result of the
UR, sectoral approaches such as “Zero-for-Zero” or  “Harmonization” by participation of basically all
WTO members should be pursued in the following sectors as separate frameworks from thetrade weighted average target tariff  formula as referred to in Point 2. In order to give credit to efforts
paid by Members, each Member may choose to include reductions to the levels determined in each
“zero-for- zero” or “Harmonization” for the calculation of its trade-weighted average target tariff rate.
a) With respect to the following sectors in which pl urilateral agreements already exist, increasing
the number of participating Members and expanding product coverage are important agendas.
Therefore, the participation by all  WTO members and the maximum possible expansion ofproduct coverage should be pursued.
- With a view to expanding trade in inform ation technology  products, all Members are
encouraged to participate in the ITA and the coverage should be expanded to include
consumer electrical products, optical fibres.
- In order to enhance transparency by way of  harmonized  tariff rates for chemical products,
all Members are encouraged to participate in chemical “Harmonization” and the products
coverage should be expanded as much as possible.
b) As to the products referred to below, “Zero-for-Zero” or “Harmonization“ approaches should be
pursued on condition that meaningful agreements could be reached by the positive participation
of as many Members as possible.
- The “Zero-for-Zero” or  “Harmonization” approach is recommended for the following
products including those products  for which adequate discussions were not held during theUruguay Round: consumer electrical products, bi cycles, rubber and articles thereof, glassTN/MA/W/15
TN/TE/W/17
Page 4
and articles thereof, ceramic products, cameras, watches, toys, electrical machinery parts,
titanium and articles thereof, motor vehicles, textiles and clothing, machine tools,
construction equipment, bearing, certain articles of iron or steel and paper.
- With regard to textiles and clothing sectors, “Harmonization” among all Members should be
pursued to participate, because many items of export interest for developing countries are
included in these product areas. This “Harmonization” should aim at substantial reductions
not only of tariffs, but also of NTBs (Refer to Annex 1 for the details).
- With regard to motor vehicles for which investment has been  globalized, company groups
with cross-border capital relations conduct production and supply activities across the
borders. Therefore, “Zero-for-Zero” should be adopted at least among the Members of
which automobile industry is matured.
Details of proposed products for “ Zero-for-Zero” or ” Harmonization”, including HS
numbers are to be discussed at a later stage.
4. Bases for Negotiations
         Bases for negotiations should in principle be bound rates based on the HS 2002 version. It is
important to rectify the great differences betwee n bound tariff rates and applied tariff rates and
therefore due attention should be paid to the current situation of applied tariff rates of Members in
order to make meaningful improvements in market access.
       Compiling databases such as IDB or CTS will contribute greatly to developments in tariff
negotiations in which 144 Members take part.
The secretariat issued a note regarding IDB/CTS data submission, and in accordance with the
note, those Members that have not yet submitted relevant data are urged to do and,if necessary,capacity building should be provided for those Members.
As to crediting voluntary liberalization, since assessment methods for credit are difficult and
are likely to be arbitrary, careful handling is required.
5. Tariff Schedules
          As too complicated tariff schedules could be an impediment to trade, it is necessary to
examine, in proper case, the simplification of s ubdivisions under HS subheadings for the sake of
improved market access, e.g. to combine national subdivisions, as appropriate, as long as those
national subdivisions carry the same bound rates.
6. Implementation periods and staging
         Implementation periods and staging should be effectively set as a shock absorbing measure to
enable further reductions in tariffs. Taking into account a precedent at the UR, staging may be five
years, in principle, with equal instalments based upon the recognition that implementation periods
commence in January 2005. As for developing countries, implementation periods and staging are a
core part of S&D. Longer than five years should be allowed for developing countries that implementdeeper than average cuts among the developing countries. In order to encourage developing countries
to participate in “Zero-for-Zero” and “Harmonization”, it is proposed that the developing countries
may implement agreements on the reduction of tariffs on products subject to “Zero-for-Zero” or
“Harmonization” in a special and different manner, based on agreement among participating
Members.TN/MA/W/15
TN/TE/W/17
Page 5
7. NTBs
         How to address NTBs is important in terms of meaningful improvement in market access.
Although Members are expected to express their specific areas or measures of interest in accordance
with the Chairman’s note on this matter, it is sugge sted that measures affecting or relating to the
existing WTO codes etc. are basically discussed at relevant negotiation groups or committees. It is
necessary to take up not only border measures on the importing side but also trade distorting measures
on the exporting side such as export duties and export restrictions.  NTB negotiations in connection
with tariff negotiations should be assessed in the context of overall balance of non-agricultural market
access negotiations.
8. S&D
         Implementation periods and staging are a core part of S&D and it would be worthy to discuss
the possibility of differentiating elements of a formula or trade-weighted average target tariff
formula.  As to the GSP schemes based on the en abling clause, GSP providers should, on their own
initiative, study the possibility of reviewing the scheme, taking into account the competitiveness of
the products and improving market access for LDC’s products.
9. Capacity-building
         For the sake of the successful conclusion of negotiations, it is essential for LDCs to
participate positively and effectively in the negotiations, and to that end, appropriate capacity
buildings should be carried out. The capacity building seminar hosted by the Secretariat last May wasuseful and we do appreciate the efforts of the Secretariat.
         It may be an idea for a seminar to be held again with a view to explaining the positive effect
of improved market access in the developing Members toward their economies and thereby give
incentives for developing Members to positively participate in the negotiations.
10. Protection of Environment  and Sustainable Development Including Market Access on
Environmental Goods
         It is necessary to proceed the discussion, paying  due attention to the protection of the
environment and the promotion of sustainable development, as is provided in Paragraph 6 of the Doha
Declaration.  From this viewpoint, Japan proposes a list of environmental goods for improved market
access, in accordance with Paragraph 31 of the Doha Declaration. In this context, suggested thoughton coverage and the list is attached (Annex II).  Concessions to be made out of the list are to be
evaluated as part of the overall results of the negotiations. From this same viewpoint, special
consideration should be given, in the course of market access negotiations, to goods which have to be
appropriately addressed in terms of global environment issues and the sustainable use of exhaustible
natural resources. In this regard, Japan intends to make a specific proposal on this point as part of  thisproposal.TN/MA/W/15

ANNEX I
Harmonization on Textiles and Clothing
1. Background
          As the textiles and clothing are major and wide ranging industries covering developed and
developing countries, and since international collaboration in this area is well developed, improved
market access in the trade of textiles and clothing will contribute to the promotion of world trade and
the stimulation of the world economy.
         Trade in this area is expanding globally and world trade amounted to 37 billion US dollars in
2000. World textile trade is expected to further expand globally, taking into account that the textiles
and clothing is scheduled to be fully integrated into GATT 1994 on January 1st, 2005 and quantitative
restrictions under the ATC and predecessor arrangements are expected to be removed in majorimporting markets.
         During the UR negotiations, Japan did its utmost to substantially reduce tariffs in the market
access of textiles and clothing. As a result, imported textiles and clothing occupy 70 % of the
Japanese market, and the market has become one of the most liberalized among the major countries.However, there exists a wide disparity of tariffs among the WTO Members, and this is a major factor
that impedes the global development of trade in this area.
         Taking into account the importance of the textile and clothing  trade, it is essential to
accelerate substantial and balanced promotion of the negotiation on the tariffs and NTBs in thetextiles and clothing sector from the view of facilitating the global textiles and clothing trade.
2. Modalities
The following two modalities should be combined to be used for the textiles and clothing
trade.
a) Textiles and clothing trade should be dealt with by a sectoral approach.  Different tariff rates
applied by members should be finally harmonized into an agreed rate of duty or below on a
line by line basis which should be applied by both developed and developing Members.
b) It should be recalled that the tariff reduction in this sector was not necessarily realized during
the UR, due to the fact that each WTO Members had discretions to tackle textiles and clothingissues.
Tariff negotiations on textiles and clothing should be carried out in the above format that
specifically addresses this sector, as a separate approach from the trade-weighted average
target tariff reduction formula.
3. Notes for the Negotiations
a) Taking into account that the Doha Declaration refers to negotiations without a priori
exclusion, and in order to achieve substantial and balanced improvements in market access, it
is essential for all developed and developing members to participate in the harmonization.However, in terms of the S&D, consideration including longer implementation periods and
staging should be extended for developing members.TN/MA/W/15
TN/TE/W/17
Page 7
b) Taking note of the comprehensive nature of issues related to the textile and clothing trade, not
only tariffs but also NTBs such as concerning country of origin marking, transshipment and
violation of intellectual property rights should be addressed to reach comprehensive
agreement, while    refraining from duplication with above work done by other negotiatinggroup and several WTO Committees.
c) In negotiating the content of the harmonization, no exception of products is basically allowed,
though some consideration might be given to sensitive products. Rather, members should
make a positive effort to rectify tariff peaks and pursue balanced and substantive
improvements of market access in this area.TN/MA/W/15

ANNEX II
Environmental goods
1. Main Considerations
The product coverage of environmental goods and the policy behind it is well explained in the
research paper on environmental goods compiled in 2000 at the OECD Joint Working Group on Trade
and Environment. It refers to pollution Management, Cleaner/Resource Efficient Technology and
Products and Resources Management as a product group as well as recent discussions on the
environment, including the prevention of global warming and recycling. These points are worthreflecting on in the course of the Market Access Negotiations.
In line with the above policy, the attached list is proposed to aim at improving market access as
environmental goods.
The issue of the definition of environmental goods is expected to be taken up at the CTE and
therefore the exercise in this group should proceed in parallel with the CTE discussions.
There are also issues as to whether or not to include PPM products and how to address end-use
related problems. These raise further issues such as the criteria of product coverage, confirmingsystems to be used at Customs and their administrative costs and identification of environment goods
among similar products. These issues needs full consideration, prior to reaching at proper solutions.
2.  Products List
 As attached.(Product description in the list does not necessarily use those in the HS but
included for the sake of easy reference. Therefore, the verified description is to be submitted later.)
3.  Specific Proposal
Tariffs and Non-tariff barriers of environmental goods should be reduced or removed, where
appropriate. As far as tariffs of products mentioned in the attached list, their tariffs are proposed to beremoved.
4.  Relation with the overall tariff reductions
     The reduction or removal, where appropriate, of tariffs in this area should be treated as an
integral part of tariff reduction of non-agricultural market access.TN/MA/W/15
