REPORT ON THE CURRENT FUNCTIONING OF THE
COMMITTEE ON CUSTOMS VALUATION
REPORT OF THE CHAIRPERSON
Corrigendum
The
opening paragraph should read as follows:
The
following report is being submitted by the Chairperson of the Committee on
Customs Valuation, Mr Frank RITTNER, Chairperson of the Committee on Customs
Valuation (CCV). It answers a request of the Chairperson of the Council for
Trade in Goods (CTG) and shall facilitate the work on potential reform efforts
undertaken by the CTG and its subsidiary bodies.[1]
The report was prepared with the assistance of the Secretariat under the lead
of the responsible division and, with respect to its structure and scope of the
considerations, coordinated with other of subsidiary bodies of the CTG. It had
been shared with the delegations two
weeks before its submission
to the Chairperson of the CTG by the Chairperson of the CCV under his
responsibility.
Paragraph
2.15 should read as follows:
2.15 The conduct of recent meetings followed the proposed agenda, as
Members did not request changes directly before or at the
beginning of the meeting, and all
delegations have had the opportunity to speak to the matters of
the agenda. Time restrictions have neither
been used nor requested by Members.
The meeting time has been around half day for
each formal meeting. Notifications are typically discussed in alphabetical
order, regardless of the day of their receipt, and are treated separately one
by one and remain on the agenda for the next meeting until there are no more
outstanding questions from Members. Specific Trade Concerns may be placed on
the agenda following a Member request, which last occurred in 2020.
