Second Triennial Review of the Operation and Implementation
of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade
Note from Canada
Introduction
The Second Triennial Review of the World Trade Organization’s Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement, to be completed by the end of this year, offers an opportunity for Canada to pursue clarifications and improvements to the Agreement without the necessity of open ended re opening. At the 25 February 2000 meeting of the TBT Committee, Members declared themselves prepared to engage actively and constructively in the Review. The point of departure for the Review will be the First Triennial Review completed in 1997 (G/TBT/5), with assistance from the Secretariat’s “stock taking” paper summarizing submissions since the First Triennial Review (G/TBT/SPEC/11 and 11/Add.1-2).
