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).
