STATUS OF SUBMISSIONS TO THE INTEGRATED DATA
BASE (IDB)
Note
by the Secretariat[1]
Revision
Pursuant to the General Council Decision circulated on 16 July 1997 (_WT/L/225), and at the request of the
Members of the Committee, the attached tables provide for a comprehensive
status of submissions to the IDB. As agreed during the CMA meeting of 29
September 2015, the new format of the status of submissions includes only the
most recent 10 years and with information on the number of non-MFN duty schemes
included in the submission. The comprehensive status of submission which
includes all years from 1996 is available in electronic format from the WTO
Notifications Portal (https://notifications.wto.org/en/notification-status/integrated-database). Further, pursuant to the
CMA decision of 28 May 2019 on the "Modalities and Operation of the
Integrated Database" (_G/MA/367), the status of submissions
reports were revised to reflect the updated notification requirements.[2]
A description of the
