On 3 July 2003, New Zealand notified to WTO members the draft import health standard
(G/SPS/N/NZL/243) for bovine embryos from the European Union.  The final date for comments on
the draft import health standard closed on 5 August 2003.
A small number of comments were received during the comments period and the import
health standard has been modified accordingly.  The following changes have been made to the import
health standard.
The statement about the freedom of herds and centres from quarantine restrictions has been
modified as follows:  the herd(s) of origin of the donor females and the embryo collection centre were
free from any quarantine restrictions for at least 90 days before the start of collection of embryos for
this consignment until 30 days after the completion of embryo collection.
The option of virus isolation as an alternative to antigen capture ELISA for BVDV has been
included.
The statement about the attachment of reports to the Zoosanitary Certificate has been altered
to make it clear that only certificates for tests that  are specified in the zoosanitary certificate need to

PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO APPENDIX I TO THE AGREEMENT
Communication from Korea
The following communication, dated 9 July 2001, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the Republic of Korea with the request that it be circulated to the Committee on
Government Procurement.
Please find reproduced below Korea's replies to the questions put by the United States
(GPA/W/133 of 23 April 2001) with regard to th e proposed modifications to Appendix I of the
Agreement on Government Procurement circulat ed in document GPA/W/128 and corrigenda.
_______________
1. In introducing the proposed modifications, Korea states that the changes in the names of a
number of covered Annex 1 and Annex 3 entities are "purely formal in nature".  At the same time,
Korea notes that those changes are "the outcome of efforts by Korea to re-organize its governmental
structure and other bodies".
For each currently listed entity, does the re-organization of Korea's governmental structure
involve the transfer of procurement functions fr om that entity to any entity other than the
directly corresponding re-named entity listed in GPA/W/128?
If there is any such transfer of procurement functions, please provide a concordance table
listing the entity that currently performs such functions and the entity that would beresponsible for such functions under the proposed modifications.
Most of the changes in the names of the entities contained in Annex 1 and Annex 3 are purely
formal in nature.  Some of the changes in names reflect the results of the re-organization of the
Government's structure.  For those entities, the procurement function was transferred to the newlyestablished entities, which were notified through the Secretariat on 27 June 2001 (GPA/W/140).
Therefore, the scope and level of Korea's commitments remain unchanged.GPA/W/142
Page 2
2. With respect to the proposed deletion of the Fi rst Minister of Political Affairs from Annex 1,
please indicate which entity would now conduct the procurement activities previously conducted by
the First Minister of Political Affairs.  If the procurement activities have not been transferred to
another entity, please provide an explanation why.
The Office for the First Minister of Political Affairs, which had the mandate of handling
political affairs in communications with the National Assembly and political parties, was abolished as
a result of the governmental re-organization.  The duties of the Office for the First Minister of
Political Affairs, including the procurement function, were not transferred to any other entity.
Besides, the Office for the First Minister of Political Affairs did not have any substantial procurement
activities.

SRI LANKA – ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW SCHEDULE VI
Request for Extension of Time-Limit
The following communication, dated 29 September 2003, has been received from the
Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka.
_______________
I have been instructed by my authorities in Sri Lanka to furnish the following information
with regard to Sri Lanka's request for extension of time-limit for the current waiver, which expires on
31 October 2003.
1. Date of original waiver:  8 November 1988.2. Date of submission of document relevant to the HS implementation:  12 January 1990.3. Number of extensions and dates when granted:  27 extensions, as follows:  24/07/89;
16/07/90;  07/12/90;  01/07/91;  04/12/91;  20/07/92;  03/12/92;  19/07/93;  17/01/94;
21/07/94;  09/12/94;  31/08/95;  13/12/95;  18/07/96;  16/07/97;  22/10/97;  30/04/98;
14/10/98;  15/06/99 (granted with retroactive effect 30/04/99);  04/11/99;  03/05/2000;08/12/2000; 08/05/2001; 31/10/2001; 13/05/2002; 15/10/2002, and 24/07/2003.

(Australia, European Union, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States).
5. Number of countries with which Article XXVIII negotiations have been concluded:  Four.
6. Status of outstanding Article XXVIII negotiations as well as a general outline of relevant
problems, if any:
Sri Lanka continues to make every effort to conclude negotiations under Article XXVIII.  The
negotiations with the United States are still continuing.
7. Outlook for concluding the process:
Sri Lanka has had bilateral negotiations with the US in respect of Sri Lanka's Schedule.
These negotiations are still continuing.  Submissions have been made to the Advisory
Committee of the Government of Sri Lanka seeking its approval on tariff bindings to be
made.  Since a response from the Tariff Advisory Committee is yet to be received, Sri Lanka
requires one more extension of time to conclude these negotiations.  The Government of
Sri Lanka, therefore, will appreciate granting of a further extension of six months.  The
Government of Sri Lanka also wishes to assure its trading partners that every effort will beG/L/644

made to conclude the negotiations satisfactorily, and in the mutual interest of all concerned, as
soon as possible.
