SPECIAL AND DIFFERENTIAL TREATMENT
Note by the Secretariat
In preparation for the discussion on special and differential treatment at the 21-22 June 2000 meeting of the SPS Committee, the Secretariat was requested to prepare a paper summarizing the discussion to date of special and differential treatment in the context of the SPS Agreement. This note reviews the information provided by Members and observers at meetings, particularly during the discussions related to the three-year review of the SPS Agreement, as well as information circulated in preparation for the 1999 Ministerial Conference. Only issues directly related to special and differential treatment were included, since other matters identified as of interest to developing countries, such as equivalence, will be addressed at subsequent Committee meetings.
