ARTICLE XXVIII:4
Schedule CXXVII - Grenada
Request for authority to enter into renegotiations
The following communication, dated 27 February 2002, has been received from Grenada.
_______________
I have the honour to advise you that the Grenada Government has recently taken the decision
to continue its process of structural reforms that will result in the elimination of the few remaining
import licenses.  We have also renewed our focus on the structural transformation of our economy
through inter alia  an emphasis on the agricultural development of certain industries of critical
importance to our food security and rural development objectives.
Pursuant to this the Government of Grenada wishes to enter into negotiations with WTO
Members under Article XXVIII to modify its concessions in the instance of the following headings:
02.07 (Meat of edible offal of the poultry, fresh, chilled or frozen); 2203 (Beer, malt and stout).
These rates were bound in the Uruguay Round.
I would be grateful if you would kindly bring th is request to the attention of the Council for
Trade in Goods (CTG) at its next meeting so that it may take the appropriate decision.
The Grenada Government is prepared to enter in to immediate negotiations with the interested
contracting parties with a view to modifying these concessions in accordance with Article XXVIII.The relevant statistics are annexed hereto.G/SECRET/14
