NOTIFICATION
UNDER PARAGRAPH 4 OF ANNEX II
OF THE AGREEMENT ON RULES OF ORIGIN
PREFERENTIAL RULES OF ORIGIN
1._
Paragraph 4 of Annex II to the Agreement on Rules of Origin
envisages that Members shall provide to the Secretariat as soon as possible
their existing or new preferential rules of origin, including a listing of the
preferential arrangements to which they apply, judicial decisions, and
administrative rulings of general application relating to their preferential
rules of origin. Lists of information received and available within the
Secretariat shall be circulated to Members by the Secretariat under the G/RO/N/
series.
2._ The Committee on Rules of
Origin further agreed that, with respect to preferential rules of origin,
notifications made to the Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) or to
the Committee on Trade and Development (CTD) could also suffice to discharge
their notification obligations under the Agreement on Rules of Origin
(G/RO/M/59). As a result, the Committee agreed that notifications which had
initially been received by the CRTA or the CTD should also be circulated by the
Secretariat to the CRO. The information regarding such notifications, including
related to preferential rules of origin, can, in addition, be retrieved through
the WTO database of regional trade agreements (http://rtais.wto.org) or in the WTO database
of preferential trade agreements (http://ptadb.wto.org).
