INDIA – IMPORT RESTRICTIONS
Request for Consultations by the European Communities
The following communication, dated 28 October 1998, from the Permanent Delegation of the
European Commission to the Permanent Mission of India and to the Chairman of the Dispute
Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU.
On behalf of the European Communities, I hereby request consultations with India pursuant
to Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes
(DSU), Article XXII of the General Agreemen t on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), Article 19
of the Agreement on Agriculture and Article 6 of the Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures on
the import restrictions maintained by India under its Export and Import Policy, 1997-2002, for reasons
other than Article XVIII:B of GATT 1994. India notifi ed these restrictions to the WTO in Part A of
Annex I to its notification of 20 May 1997 under paragraph 9 of the Understanding on the balance-of-
payments provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (WT/BOP/N/24). In its
notification, India claims that these restrictions are justified under Article XX and/or Article XXI of
GATT 1994.
The European Communities considers that these import restrictions may constitute an
infringement of, in particular but not necessarily exclusively, the following WTO provisions:
- Articles III, X, XI, XIII and XVII of GATT 1994;
- Article 4.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture;
- Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Agreem ent on Import Licensing Procedures;
and may not be justified under Articles XX or XXI of GATT 1994.
While reserving its right to revert in the consultations to any product mentioned in Part A of
Annex 1 of document WT/BOP/N/24, the European Communities, at this stage, requests clarification
of and justifications for the import restrictions concerning the products listed in the attached EC
priorities list.
I look forward to receiving your reply to this request of the European Communities and to
setting a mutually convenient date for these consultations.
