CONTRACTING PARTIES
The Territorial Application of the General Agreement
A PROVISIONAL LIST of Territories
to which the Agreement is applied
It may be useful for the contracting parties, and also for the Secretariat
to have a list and comprehensive description of the territories to which the
Agreement is at present applied by the contracting parties. With this in
view, the attached PROVISIONAL LIST has been prepared This list requires
careful scrutiny by each contracting party, and it would be appreciated if
alterations to be made could be submitted to the Secretariat by 30 June, 1951
so that a revised list, incorporating all the changes and corrections noti-
fied by contracting parties, may be issued in July,
The PROVISIONAL LIST has been prepared in three parts, based upon
information available to :the Secretariat. Part A lists those territories
in respect of which the application of the Agreement has been made effective.
Part B is intended to include those territories to which the Agreement has
not thus far been applied. Part C names several territories whose status
is unknown and it 'would be appreciated if contracting parties would assist
in clarifying the position of these territories.
(This PROVISIONAL LIST has been adapted from a list of customs areas
prepared for the Statistical Commission of the United Nations (E/CN.3/127)). GATT/C/108

TORQUAY NEGOTIAT IONS UNDER ARTICLE XXVIII
Unfinished Negotiations
(Resolution of 3 April 1951, GATT/CP/107 & SECRET/CP/16/Rev.1)
1. Schedule XXVI - Haiti
The Resolution of the Contracting Parties of 3 April 1951, on procedures
for completing Article XXVIII negotiations unfinished at Torquay, authorizes
the Government of Haiti to pursue the negotiation for the withdrawal or modi-
fication of the items listed in the annex to the Resolution.
Agreement had been reached at Torquay between Haiti and France but could
not be formalized pending the conclusion of the negotiation between Haiti
and an interested contracting party, the United States. The latter nego-
tiation was still in progress when the Resolution was approved, but was
completed by the Haitian Government in time for the insertion of the results
in Schedule XXVI annexed to the Torquay Protocol. This negotiation, therefore,
is to be considered as completed at Torquay.
2. Schedule XI - France
The negotiation entered into at Torquay between the Delegations of
France and Ceylon for the modification of the rates of duty relating to copra,
palm-kernel oil and coconut oil, originally negotiated at Geneva with Benelux
and Ceylen, was unfinished at the close of the Torquay Conference, In the
Resolution of 3 April 1951 the Government of France was authorized to pursue
this negotiation and was asked to endeavour to reach an agreement by 1 July
The Government of France has now notified as follows:
"The resumption of negotiations between France and Ceylon was
subject to an agreement being reached between France and the Associated
States of Indochina. It is now certain that negotiations between
France and Indochina will not be opened before 1 July and that it
will consequently not be possible for the French Government to begin
negotiations with Ceylon within the prescribed time limit. The French
Government have informed the Government of Ceylon that, in the
circumstances, they were obliged to consider themselves free as regards
the products in question."
Accordingly, the French Government considers that it is free, as from GATT/CP/119
the 30th day after the notification, to apply the new rates agreed upon
at Torquay with the other interested contracting paties as follows:
"112 B Copra 10% but not less than
frs 500 per 100 kg
gross weight (instead
of 8% without specified
minimum)
"146 K Fixed oils, liquid or solid,
of vegetable origin, crude
or refined :
palm kernels and coconut
(copra) oils, crude
intended for soap or
stearine works 15%(instead of 6%)
other 15%(instead of 12%)"
The notification by the French Government was received on 7 June
1951 and in accordance with that communication the new rates will be
'applied from the 7th July. |

TORQUAY PROTOCOL
Addendum
Request by the Government of the United Kingdom for an Extension
of Time to sign the Torquay Protocol
The following communication dated September 12 has been received from the
Government of the United Kingdom:
"I have the honour to inform you that, for technical reasons
connected with the Parliamentary timetable and the legislative
procedure by which effect is given to reductions in certain types
of duty in the United Kingdom tariff, the United Kingdom Government
find it necessary to request the Contracting Parties for an extension
of time in which to sign the Torquay Protocol.
"The concessions which the United Kingdom agreed to a ecord in
the Torquay tariff negotiations were brought into operation on 1st
September Certain of the Statutory Instruments in question, however,
are subject to a negative resolution procedure under which the House
of Commons has the right during a period to pray that they be annulled.
This period will not have expired on 20th October, the last day for
signing the Torquay Protocol.
"The United Kingdom Government wish, therefore, to request the
Contracting Parties to grant to the United Kingdom an extension of time
until 31st December, 1951, for signature of the Torquay Protocol. In
making this request the United Kingdom Government wish to stress that
the extension of time is required for reasons of Parliamentary procedure
and that the extension, if granted, will not of itself adversely affect
the interests of other contracting parties since, as already indicated,
they have been enjoying since 1st September the benefits of the
concessions negotiated at Torquay on the United Kingdom tariffs
"I am accordingly to request you to place this matter on the Agenda
for the Sixth Session in order that it may be considered in conjunction
with the similar requests made by the Governments of Denmark and the
Philippine Republic." |

TORQUAY PROTOCOL
Request by the Government of the Philippines for an
Extension of Time to Sign the Torquay Protocol
The following communicated dated 1st August has been received from the
Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines:
"I have the honour to acknowledge with appreciation the receipt
of your note of June 21, 1951 informing of the favourable decision
taken by the Contracting Parties in the projected accession of this
Government to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade,
"While this decision should enable the Philippines to sign the
Torquay Protocol and thereby become a Contracting Party, I regret to
state that it is not yet possible for this Government to do so,
because under Philippine constitutional procedure any treaty of this
nature requires ratification by the Senate of the Philippines before
it can take effect. Without this ratification, therefore, the
Philippines may not sign the Torquay Protocol because it is not yet
in a position to give effect to its concessions.
"Unfortunately, the Philippine Congress recessed a few weeks
after the conclusion of the Torquay Conference in April, 1951. As a
result, the Philippine Delegation had no opportunity to present to
the Senate the results of Philippine participation in the Conference.
As the Senate will not meet on its regular session until January 28,
1952, and the possibility of calling a special session is quite remote,
the Philippine Government will be unable to sign the Torquay Protocol
on October 21, 1951.
"In view of the foregoing circumstances, it is requested that the
Sixth Session of the Contracting Parties extend the time set for this
Government to sign the Torquay Protocol to the last day of the next
regular session of the Philippine Congress, namely, on May 22, 1952.
This extension would give the Senate all the time it may need to
consider Philippine accession to the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade.
"I would appreciate the circulation of this note to all interested
governments for their immediate information."

Transposition of the Geneva and Annecy Schedules of
the United Kingdom (Schedule XIX) into Brussels
Convention Nomenclature
The United Kingdom has placed on the Provisional Agenda of the Sixth
Session an item for the transposition of its Geneva and Annecy Schedules into
the Brussels Convention nomenclature.
The procedure for making adjustments to schedules to conform to the Convention
nomenclature was discussed at the Fifth Session when it was agreed that the
normal rectification procedure should be used (GATT/CP.5/SR.3). The United
Kingdom Annecy Schedule was circulated in Torquay on 8 March 1951 to all
contracting parties and acceding governments, and the Geneva Schedule was
similarly circulated on 7 April 1951 (GATT/CP/101 and Add.1). Contracting
parties may wish to consider what time limit for the lodging of objections
to the transposed schedules should be set and whether, provided no objections
have been received before the expiration of the time limit, the transposed
schedules should be incorporated in the Sixth Protocol of Rectifications or
in a separate Protocol replacing Geneva and Annecy Schedules XIX, as was done
in the case of Schedule I and VI.
The Swedish Government has blade the following comments on the trans-
position of the Annecy Schedule:
"Item 46.
It is understood drlde"rstoo that stip" of thi.ckrness ex.eeding 6 mm, but
not exceeding 1/4 inch is classified as "bars and rods" under the
eBrussels nomnclature and will thus be covered by the new version
if it does not exceed 1 inch in width.
Item 110
It is understood that the newe veorsion dos nt preclude any of the
processes explicitly mentioned in the present text (e.g. printing)." |

WORKING PARTY I ON INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
RESOLUTIONS
Note by the United Kindom-Delegation
The United Kingdom delegation has had under consideration the
case of certain products such as, for example, intricate or massive
machinery where the needs of commerce are met neither by the ability
to import samples temporarily free of duty nor the possibility of sending
trade literature free of duties. In the case of such products, it may
not be practicable to despatch machines nor may trade literature be
adequate for indicating the method of working. In such cases it would
be very convenient if cinematograph films showing the workings of the
machine could be admitted temporarily free of duty for trade showing.
With a view to putting this suggestion before other members of
the Working Party, the United Kingdon Delegation has prepared a possible
additional paragraph to Article 3 (originally 4) of the Convention to
achieve this object.
"The Contracting Parties shall exempt from import duties
exposed cinematograph films of a width not exceeding 16 m.m.
shown to their satisfaction to consist essentially of photographs
(with or without sound track) showing samples or specimens of
machinery, plant or instruments for trade advertising purposes
when imported front the territory of any Contracting Party in a
packet which contains not more than one copy of cook firm. and which
does not form part of a larges conignment. |

Sixth Session
WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE.
INTERMATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMRCE
Comments by Delegations to the United Kingdom Revised Draft Convention
Comments by the Italian Delegation
The 1935 Convention provided that the decisions of customs administrations
as regards duty-free admission of samples were final (Article 9, paragraph 3),
In the course of discussions held in this Working Party it was suggested.
that this provision should be eliminated.
The Italian delegation wishes to stress that such a change is very likely
to result in consequences the scope of which cannot be foreseen. Indeed, an
excessive number of disputes might thus arise which individually speaking would
be of negligible importance, Furthermore the jurisdiction of an international
arbitration tribunal should not extend the factual appreciations such as those
involved in decisions by customs authorities, particularly in the case of imports
in minimum quantities.
The Italian delegation is of the opinion that the text of the Convention'
should provide for the opportunity for the traders concerned to bring the matter
before competent internal tribunals with a view to securing, if the need arises,
a revision of decisions of the customs administrations and it therefore proposes
to insert in Article 2, paragraph 1 of the United Kingdom draft after "customs
administration" the words "and according to decisions reached by other competent
internal bodies".
The Italian delegation is of the opinion that such a guarantee to traders
would obviate the need for a widening of the jurisdiction of international
arbitration tribunals to the extent that would be necessary if the United Kingdom
draft were accepted, the latter implying that such jurisdiction should extend
to the decision of customs administrations relating to the negligible value of
samples and to the fact that their purpose is only to solicit orders.
The Italian delegation therefore proposes to re-insert in Article 9 the
following paragraph:
"This article shall not apply to the decisions of Customs Authorities and
other competent bodies referred to in Article 2, paragraph 1". CP .6/W/2/Add .5
Page 2
As regards Article 10, the Italian delegation suggests that paragraph 1
should be worded as follows:
"The present Uonvention shall be open until . , ...... . *
by the governments contracting parties to the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade and by the governments of all states members of
the United Nations, or of any state not a member of the United Nations,,
which the General Assembly of the United Nations may declare to be
eligible".
Comments by the United States Delegation
The League of Nations Draft Convention of 1935 on samples and advertising
material did not clearly state whether the exemption to be granted under the
Convention applied to quantitative restrictions as well as to import duties,
In its explanation for the deletion of Article 1,, paragraph 2 of the 1935
Convention, the United Kingdom delegation expressed the view that the League
Convention imposed no obligation to admit samples of goods in regard to which
importation was prohibited. the United Kingdom has .also stated in the Working
Party discussion that the re-draft of the Convention should not cover quanti-
tative restrictions. It is the view of the United States delegation that, if
the revised draft Convention is to accomplish its purpose of facilitating the
flow of samples and commercial propaganda in international trade, these goods.
must be exempted from both import duties and quantitative restrictions. The.:
new draft Convention should impose an obligation on the signatory governments
to admit the goods (with some exceptions similar to those' found in Article 1,
paragraph 2 of the 1935 Convention or in the relevant sub-paragraphs of
Article XX, Part I of the GATT), in addition to requiring an exemption from
import duties.
This principle of admitting commercial samples even though importation
of the goods is otherwise barred or limited for balance-of-payments reasons
was recognized in the General Agreement. In Article XII, paragraph 3(c)(ii),
the Contracting Parties undertake, in carrying out their domestic policies with
respect to balance-of-payments restrictions,
".... not to apply .., restrictions which would prevent, the importation
of commercial samples,
For Contracting Parties: adhering to the proposed draft Convention, the inclusion
of this principle would not, of course, impose any new obligation. However, it
is expected that the proposed draft Convention will be opened for signature by
non-GATT countries, and it would appear equitable to have this. obligation apply
to all the signatory countries.
In addition to the requirements of the General Agreement regarding the
admission of samples, there are, in the .view of. the United States delegation,
sound reasons for including an exemption from balance-of-payments restrictions
in the draft Convention, CP .6/W/2/Add. 5
Page 3
1. In the case of samples as well as the goods themselves, balance-of-payments
restrictions are certainly as significant as import duties as trade barriers.
It would be ignoring the facts of present day economic life to propose a
convention which freed samples from import duties but had no reference to
quantitative restrictions.
2. From the nature of the subject matter involved in the draft Convention,
an exemption from quantitative restrictions could have no effect upon
the balance of payments of any signatory government. The samples referred
to in Article 2 of the United Kingdom re-draft of "negligible value" and
the samples covered in Article 6 of the United Kingdom redraft are admitted
only temporarily, subject to exportation within six months. There may be
some opportunities for misuse of the exemption as a device for circumventing
import restrictions, But these possibilities are present in any system
of quantitative restrictions, including those set up as required by the
General Agreement provision cited above, Furthermore, it is not the
intention of the United States delegation to provide any loopholes for the
evasion of balance-of-payments restrictions and it would support the
inclusion of any necessary safeguards*
3. Balance-of-payments restrictions are imposed under the General Agreement
on a temporary basis during a period of external financial difficulties,
Therefore, as is recognized in Article XII:3 (c)(ii) of the General
Agreement, it is important to permit the traders of the country against
whom the restrictions apply to keep their products and trade-names before
the public during the period of import restrictions. This system results
in no drain on the reserves of the country in balance-of-payments
difficulties and gives the local producers the benefit of at least token
competition.
For these reasons, the United States delegation proposes that the United
Kingdom re-draft of the 1935 League Convention be modified, especially in
Articles 2 and 6, to provide that the samples covered by the Convention be
admitted freely notwithstanding any quantitative import restrictions which may
be in effect. In connection with this proposal, it would be desirable to re-
introduce a provision similar to that found in Article I, paragraph 2 of the
1935 League Convention. |

Addendum
Draft Convention for the purpose of facilitating the importation
of Commercial Samples and Advertising Material
Agreed drafts of Articles 1, 2. 3 and [5]
The Government signatories to the present Convention
Believing that the adoption of uniform regulations regarding the inaporta-
tion of samples and advertising matter would promote the expansion of inter-
national trade,
Have agreed as follows:
Article .
For the purposes of the present Coiveition:
(a) the term "import duties" means customs duties and all other
duties and taxes payable on or in connection with importation,
such as internal taxes, excise duties) statistical taxes and
import taxes; it excludes fees and charges which are limited in
amount to the approximate cost of services rendered and do not
represent an indirect protection to domestic products or a
taxation of imports for fiscal purposes.
(b) references to the territory of a Contracting Party include its
metropolitan territory and any territory for whose international
* relations it is responsible and to which the Convention extends
in accordance with Article [14].
Article 2
1. Each Contracting Party undertakes to exempt from import duties samples of
goods of all kinds imported into its territory, provided such samples are of
negligible value and are only to be used for soliciting orders, CP.6/W/2/Add.10
Page 2
2. The Contracting Party into whose territory samples are imported may require
that, as a condition of their being exempted from import duties in accordans
with paragraph 1 of this Article, they shall be made useless by tearing perfor
ation or other treatment, but not, however, so as to destroy their value as
samples.
3, This Article shall not apply to samples made up on behalf of manufacturers
or traders established in the territory into which they are imported,
Annex to Article 2
(Insert here in square brackets the text of the preamble. of Article 3 of
CP.6/W/2, followed by sub-paragraphs 1-12 of Article 2 of the 1935 text)
Article 3
1. The Contracting Parties shall exempt from import duties catalogues, price-
lists and trade notices imported into their territories
(a) in a single copy of each of any number of different documents,
whatever their weight; or
(b) in several copies (whether of the same or different documents),
provided that the total weight of the copies does not exceed[200] grams
sent from the territory of another Contracting party and relating to goods
offered for sale by a manufacturer or t ader established in the territory of
another contracting party. Simultaneous but separate dispatch.of catalogues,
price-lists or trade notices from the place of origin to different addresses
in the territory into which they are imported shall not debar such documents
from this exemption provided the above conditions are met in the case of each
consignee.
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 of this Article, a Contracting Party shall
not be obliged to exempt from import duties on importation into its territory:
(a) catalogues, price-lists and trade notices printed abroad on behalf of
manufacturers or traders established in the. territory of importation;
(b) catalogues, price-lists and trade notices which do not clearly indicate
the name of the foreign concern manufacturing or selling the goods to
which such catalogues,' price-lists or trade notices relate; or
(e) catalogues, price-lists and trade notices which arrive at the frontier
of the territory of importation in packets grouped together for sub-
sequent despatch to separate addresses in that territory CP.6/W/2/Add.10
Page 3
(The Article 6 of the text in CP.6/W/2 will appear as Article 4)
(Suggestion by the United States representative relating to Article 4.
paragraph 1:
"It is believed that the views of the Working Party, as indicated
in previous discussions, would be better expressed if paragraph 1 of
Article 4 were revised to read as follows:.
"1. Samples which are chargeable with import duties, when repre-
sentative of the products of another contracting party and sent into the
territory of importation by a concern established in such other Contracting
party, shall be admitted temporarily into the territory of any Contracting
Party free of import duties, subject to the import duties or other amount
being deposited or security being given for payment if necessary,
"If it is desirable to bring this paragraph 1 into greater conformity
with the style of previously approved parts of the Convention, the
following text is offered for consideration:
"1. Each Contracting Party undertakes to 'admit temporarily into
its territory free of import duties samples which are chargeable with
duty, provided that (a) such samples are representative of products
of another Contracting Party and shall have been sent into the territory
of importation by a concern established in-the territory of such other..
Contracting Party, and (b) an amount equal to or more than the duty,
or security for its payment, may be required to be deposited to assure
reexportation of the samples.")
Article 4 bis
(The Working Party has not yet decided whether this provision shall form
part of Article 4 or appear as a separate Article:
"The Contracting Parties shall accord the facilities provided by
Article, 4 subject to the condition laid down in that articles to develop
films of a width not exceeding 16 m.m., shown to the satisfaction of their
Customs Authorities to consist essentially of photographs (with or without
sound track) showing the nature or operation of products whose qualities
cannot be adequately demonstrated by samples or catalogues, such as heavy
machinery etc., being films offered for sale by a manufacturer or trader
established in the territory of another Contracting Party and of a kind
suitable for exhibition to prospective custemers but not for general
exhibition to the public, when imported temporarily fran the territory of
any contracting Party in a packet which contains not more than one copy of
each film and which does not form part of a larger consignment.") CP.6/W/2/Add .10
Page 4
New Article[5]
1. The Contracting Parties shall not apply import prohibitions or restrictions
(other than import duties) whether made effective through quotas, import licenses,
or other measures on the importation from the territory of another Contracting
Party of products
(a) which qualify for exemption fran import duties by virtue of the
provisions of Article 2 or Article 3 of this Convention or
(b) which qualify for temporary duty-free admission by virtue of the
provisions of Article 4 of this Convention;
provided that the importation of such products involves no payment,
2, The provisions of this article shall not prevent the authorities of the
importing country from applying in the case of non re-exportation of the samples
or specimens mentioned in Article 4 such measures as would have been applicable
had not the articles been temporarily admitted under the provisions of
Article 4, To ensure re-exportation or the application of these measures the
authorities of the importing country may require appropriate guarantees such as
the deposit of special security over and above that deposited against any duty
or other amount that may be payable.
3, The provisions of this Convention shall not prevent a Contracting Party
from applying import prohibitions or restrictions:
(a) necessary to protect public morals;
(b) necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health;

WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHAMER OF COMMERCE
Comments by the observers of the European
Customs Union Study Group
Prohibitions, quotas and exchange control:
In our opinion, the present Convention should not determine the cases i:
which such measures are legitimate. Signatory States will observe the relevant Ge
neral Agreement regulations if they are members, or if not, the regulations laid
down in such treaties as they have concluded. The only question here is what depa
tures are to be made from the normal regime applicable to ordinary goods, in the
case of samples, patterns or advertising material.
It is obviously not possible to provide for departures in the case of
absolute prohibition on grounds of health, public morals, etc. (See French amend-
ment, document CP.6/W/7, paragraph 3).
But in other cases, and especially in the case of temporary importation
of samples - the only instance in which the question is of real practical import
the Convention should be made somewhat flexible, each country being permitted to
make exceptions, and to exempt interested parties, at least provisionally from p
during certain documents, with a view to simplifying their trensactions.
We suggest the following text as a basis for discussion
"Nothing in this Convention shall oblige the Contracting Parties
to admit into their territories samples, patterns and advertising
material where the importation of such articles is prohibited.
However, subject to such safeguards and controls as are conside-
red necessary, the Contracting Parties shall as far as possible
facilitate the temporary importation of samples and patterns which
are subject to quota restrictions or exchange control measures." |

Sixth Session
WORKING PARTY OF RESOLUTIONS OF
THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Draft Recommendation submitted by the
French Delegation
Article 10 of the International Convention relating to the simplification
of customs formalities, of November 3, 1923, provides that samples and
specimens which are liable to import duty,. and the importation of which is not
prohibited, nay be temmorarily admitted free of duty to the territory of each
of the Contracting States.
This privilege is subject to the amount of the import duties being
deposited or security being given for payment, should such samples and
specimens not be re-exported. Duties paid on importation are refunded, or
the security for payment of these duties is released on re-exportation.
These provisions which have been adopted by a great many countries have
largely facilitated commercial publicity.
But the difficulty for commercial travellers to find a guarantor agreeing
to undertake a commitment jointly and severally, and the resulting necessity
to deposit the import duties which may be very high in the case of silversmiths'
and goldsmiths' collections or models of "haute couture" for instance, still
impose a heavy financial burden on manufacturers or traders anxious to sell
their goods abroad.
To meet this difficulty, it had once been contemplated in the Economic
Committee of the League of Nations to adopt a "temporary import document"
similar to the one used for motor cars which would have released the traveller
concerned from the obligations to deposit import duties or to give security
at the customs office of the place of import. Payment of duties and taxes
would be guaranteed by a special body recognised by the customs authorities
of the importing countries which would undertake to pay at any time the import
duties relating to non-re-exported samples.
At the time, this draft did not go through; but it seems that it would
be desirable to take it up again and to recommend governments to examine it.
No doubt, the International Chamber of Commerce itself could make
interesting suggestions. A similar problem was solved by the Geneva
Agreement of 16 June 1949 which Provides for temporary free admissions without
any deposit, of goods in transit in international road traffic under a T.I.R.
carnet with the guarantee of associations authorised by the customs admini-
strations of the countries concerned.
The French delegation therefore submits the following draft
recommendation. CP.6/W/6
Page 2
DRAFT RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to the Contracting Parties that they shall
alleviate to the greatest extent Possible the financial burdens imposed
upon those concerned by the obligation to deposit import duties or to
give security for payment if necessary in the case of importation of
collections of samples and specimons by commercial travellers under
the temporary free-of-duty admission provided for in Article 10 of
the International Convention relating to the Simplification of Customs
Formalities of 3 November 1923.
In this respect, it is recommended that the Contracting Parties
should examine the feasibility of adopting a "Carnet de Passage" for
the import of samples and specimens which would release those concerned
from this obligation. This Carnet would be issued by a special body
recognized as compotent by the various national customs administrations
and which would undertake to pay the customs duties and other taxes
relating to non-re-exported samples. |

WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Draft Recommendations on Consular Formalities
The complexity of. consular formalities in many areas of the world and the
excessive charges accompanying then are among the most serious of the invisible
barriers to international trade. Not only must exporters fill and sign / 20 to
39/copies of the documents required, often in the language of the country of
destination, but the fee charged is in many cases a high percentage of the value
of the C.I.F.goods. For minor errors, moreover, fines are frequently imposed, or
the importer is obliged to make out documents again in their entirety. Shipowners
and shippers as well as the ultimate consumers are as much victims of this state
of affairs as the exporters.
The Contracting Parties therefore strongly urge the total abolition of
consular invoices and of consular visas for commercial invoices, manifests, etc.
which appear to serve no useful purpose since a great part, if not most, of the
world's trade is, in any case done without them.
Should, however, certain governments find it impossible, for reasons genuinely
connected with their customs regulations, to dispense with those documents and visas,
the Contracting Parties recommend that the following rules be observed:
1. additional documents such as certificates of origin, should not be
required;
2. the consular fee should be a small fixed charge not proportionate to
the value of the goods;
3. the consular fee should be payable only by the exporters and in the
currency of the exporting country;
4. no fines should be imposed for mistakes made in good faith by the
exporter in drawing up the documents, and within reasonable limits
corrections should be permitted;
5. no charge or only a nominal charge should be made for supplying the
forms to be filled in;
6 not more than [four] copies should be required of each document;
7. delays in dealing with documents at consulates should be reduced to
a minimum and no additional charge should be made for overtime. |

WORKING PARTY 1
ON
RESOLUTIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DRAFT REPORT
In the course of numerous meetings the Working Party made a full study of the.
problem referred to them and submits herewith to the Contracting Parties:
(i) a draft convention on the Customs Treatment of Samples and Advertising
Material (Annex A);
(ii) draft Recommendations on Documentary Requirements for the Movement of
Goods in International Trade (Annex B);
(iii) draft Recommendations on Consular Formalities (Annex C).
The Working Party decided to invite the International Chambor of Commrce to
send representatives to one mecting of the working Party to make a statement regarding
the contents of these thrce resolutions and to answer questions on points which after
a preliminary examination by the Working Party might require clarification, The
President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr, Rolf von Heidenstam, and Mr. R. Barton,
Director, stated. their views and gave the Working Party the benefit of their experienced
in this field.
The meetings were attended throughout by the representatives of the European
Customs Union Study Group, M. Roux and Mr. F.E. Smith, the question of the Customs
Treatment of Samples and Advertising Material having been the subject of study by
their organization. CP.6/W/22
Page 2
I. DRAFT CONVENTION THE CUSTOMS TREATMENT OF
SAMPLES AND ADVERTISING MATERIAL (ANNEX A)
1. The Working Party agreed to recommend to the Contracting Parties that
the text of the draft convent on herewith submitted be noted and circulated
for the comments of their governments prior to the Soventh Session. Copies
might also be sent to the European Customs Un:.on Study Group, and the
Internat-onal Chamber of Commerce and to the Secretary-General of the
United Nations for the guidance of the Economic and Social Council, which
in its resolution E/1943 of 8 March 1951 referred the matter to the
Contracting Parties and expressed the hope that they would give it
consideration.
In view of the numerous problems raised it was felt that sufficient
time should be given for a mature consideration of the text. It is
therefore recommended that any comments suggestions or proposed amendments
be addressed to the Executive Secretary not later than 1 February 1952 in
order that they may be collated and circulated to all contracting parties
for their information, At the Seventh Session the Contracting Parties
would then be in a position to give the draft definitive form and to open
the convention for signatures
2. The Working Party wishes particularly to call attention to the following
points.
(a) Article II The Working Party considered that the definition by
reference to 11no saleable value" in the 1935 draft Agreement was not
entirely satisfactory, since all samples could be said to have some
saluable value. A more accurate concept was that the samples were of
such a character that the Contracting Parties wore prepared to ignore
cheir value for customs purposes. Accordingly the formula "negligible
value" was adopted.
The majority of the members of the Working Party considered that the
wording of paragraph 1 could be interpreted by customs authorities to
*mean that, in considering whether samples were, or were not, of "negligible
value" they were at liberty to take into account either the value of
each individual sample or the aggregate value of samples forming part
of one consignment, in the light of all the circumstances of the
importation.
The United States representative considered that the text as it
stood was ambiguous and felt that it should explicitly state that
customs authorities were given the option between the two criteria. CP.6/W/22
Page 3
(b) Annex to Article II
(i) In the discussion of this Annex the Working Party was almost equally
divided on the quest...on whether it should or should not, be included
in the draft convention. The views for and against are set out below.
In the circumstances the Working Party decided to place the Annex in
square brackets and to ask governments to direct their comments in
particular to this question.
(ii) It was contended by those representatives who opposed the incorporation
of a list of products benefiting from the provisions of Article II,
that such an emmeration was contrary to the logic of the convention.
Either an exhanstive list should be drawn up of the products whose
samples would be covered by article II, in which case a general
definition in Article II was unnecessary or the convention should
provide as clear a general definition as possible in Article II, in
which case a list of examples would be redundant and misleading.
The discussion in the Working Party and the proposed additions to the
list show clearly the difficulties which would have to be overcome if
an attempt were made to arrive at an enumeration which would satisfy
all parties, It was clear that each country would favour the inclusion
of its products and oppose the insertion of those products the samples
of which could not for various reasons easily be granted the benefits
in question. Furthermore, if products were enumerated, the minimum
quantities for duty-free admission would have to be fixed precisely
whereas the text of Article II provided the clear criterion of
"negligible value" which was elastic enough to cope with any practical
difficu ties.
While agreeing that no list could be exhaustive, the representative
holding the other point of view considered that customs authorities
should be given some guidance in their administration of the provisions
.of Article II. It was agreed that, though many countries were already
applying t e principle of duty-free entry to samples, experience had
shown that they differed very widely in their interpretation of this
principle. The general terms of article II should therefore require
extensive exemplification in order to prevent arbitrary interpretations
by customs authorities. The difficulties to be met in drawing up such
a list were not denied but it was felt that they were not such as to
deter the Working Party from attempting the tasks
(iii) Having regard to the facts set out in the preceding paragraph the
Working Party did not deal with the provisions of the Annex in detail
but left the wording of paragraphs 1 to 12 of Article 2 of the 1935 draft
convention unchanged Governments are invited to supply information
as to their present practice in respect of articles covered by these
paragraphs and to indicate to what extent they would be prepared to
modify that practice in the event that the proposal for a convention
were generally accepted. CP.6/W/22
Page 4
(c) Article III
This Article, which was not included in the 1935 draft convention.
has been based on Article 10 of the 1923 convention on the Simplification
of Customs Formalities. Care was taken to depart as little as possible
from the substance of that Articles While the represertative of.Sweden
held the view that the convention should be concerned exclusively with
samples of negligible values the Working Party was generally in
agreement with the appropriateness of covering also samples of more
than negligible value. It was felt that, as there was general agreement
on the usefulness of these provisions it would be advantageous to
include the Article and thus extend the field of its application to
those governments which had not signed the 1923 Convention but were
likely to sign the one which was being prepared.
The United States representative pointed out that, in view of the
organisation of their customs administration and of the general system
controlling all governmental disbursements, they would find difficulty
in applying the provisions of this paragraph concerning re-imbursement,
as at present drafted.
Attention is called to the square brackets in paragraphs 2, 7 and 8.
The passages in question relate to the question of identity cards
for commercial travellers and the comments of governments on this
subject are particularly desired. It appeared from the discussion that
by far the largest number of, governments represented on the Working
Party did not require an identity card for commercial travellers
operating in their countries A number of observers from other contracting
parties who were present at the discussions also said that no such
document was required in their countries. Two governments said that
identity cards were required nationally in order to ensure conformity
with the 1923 Convention on the Simplification of Customs Formalities
which had inaugurated the principle of an international identity card
for commercial travellers, although in fact that card was introduced
as an optional not a compulsory requirement. On the basis of the
information thus given the United States representative pointed out that
to make a reference to such a-document in the present draft convention,
would be to perpetuate a formality which was shown to be required by
very few governments.
(d) Article IV
The scope of the corresponding Article in the 1935 draft convention
has been slightly widened, to conform to actual commercial needs.
It now covers:
a, a single copy of a catalogue, price list or trade notice;
*b an assortment of several different catalogues etc., provided
there is not more than one copy of each. CP.6/W/22
Page 5
e an assortment of catalogues etc., in which there may be more than
one copy of each document, provided that a reasonable weight limit
is not exceeded. The weight limit has been left in square brackets
in paragraph 1(b).
to decision was taken on the question pending consideration by governments
prior to the Seventh Session of the Contracting Parties.
The present draft does not limit the concession to catalogues etc.,
Imported by post, since it was envisaged that there might be circumstances
in which catalogues might be sent by air, or by surface transport across
frontiers, It seems probable, of course, that post would be the usual
method of transmission.
This Article was introduced on the proposal of the United Kingdom
Delegation in order to bring the text into closer conformity with present
commercial needs, Cinematograph films are today increasingly employed to
show the nature or operation of products whose qualities cannot be easily
demonstrated by samples or catalogue. It will be noted. that the time limit
for re-exportation has not been fixed; some delegations favoured a shorter
period than that for products which fell under the provisions of Article III.
It is therefore requested that governments should submit definite suggestions
as to the appropriate period to be fixed.
(f) Article VI
In accordance with the views expressed by the Contracting Parties,
the Working Party addressed itself to the question of the application of
quantitative restrictions to the products covered by the draft convention.
Since the 1935 draft convention was drawn up the incidence of
quantitative restrictions has become a barrier to trade no less important
than customs duties The representatives of the International Chamber
of Comerce emphasised their wish that the draft convention should deal
with this problem.
The Working Party considered that the items covered by the draft
convention, when not involving payment, should be admitted free of
quantitative restrictions.
Exemption from import prohibitions or restrictions (other than import
duties) whether made effective through quotas, import licences or other
measures, has therefore been provided for the products covered by Articles
II, III, IV and V of the draft Convention. The safeguards which are
provided by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade mainly in Article XX
for the prohibition of certain items have been introduced. CP.6/W/22
Page 6
(g) Articles VII to XIV
No major changes of substance have been made in these articles.
With regard to Article VIII the Italian Delegation disagreed with the
majority of the Working Party on the exclusion of a paragraph which was
contained in Article 9 of the 1935.draft and worded as follows&
'This article shall not apply to the decisions of customs administrations
provided for in Article 1". The Italian Delegation felt that decisions
of customs administrations under Article II were not final in that importers
had the possibility of resort to the internal courts. The majority view
was however that the Article referred to disputes between governments, not
disputes between importers and national governmental authorities, and
that the additional paragraph was unnecessary.
Article IX provides that the Convention shall be open for signature by
the governments contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade, by the governments of all states members of the United Nations or
of any state not a member of the United Nations which the General Assembly
of the United Nations may declare to be eligible, Aattention is called to
the square brackets in Article XI relating to the number of ratifications
required for the entry into force and in Article XII relating to the duration
of the Convention.
(h) Reciprocity Treatment
In the course of the Working Party's discussion, the question of
reciprocity was mentioned. It was pointed out that signatories to the
proposed convention would naturally be bound to grant the benefits of
the convention to each other. In addition, however, signatories who
were contracting parties to the General Agreement (or who had most-favoured-
nation clauses in bilateral agreements) would be bound by the most-favoured-
nation clause to grant the benefits of the Samples Convention to the other
contracting parties, even if those contracting parties did not adhere to the
Samples Convention, This question appeared to the Working Party to be of
far too large and general a character to be discussed here. (It was in
fact considered at great length by the Economic Committee of the League of
Nations in 1929).
(i) Omissions
The Article in the 1935 draft Convention relating to the treatment of
commercial travellers was not included an it was considered that the
convention shall be limited to the treatment of good, as distinct from
persons.
The Working Party considered that.it was unnecessary to include an
Article on tourist propaganda material, since this was adequately covered
by the UNESCO Convention on the Importation of Educational, Scientifie
and Cultural materials and the Touring Convention. CP.6/W/22

II. DRAFT RECOIMENDATIONS ON DOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE
The subject matter of this resolutions of the International Chamber
of Commerce appeared to be best covered by a set of recommendations to
be issued by the Contracting Parties to governments for their guidance
in drafting their regulations. It was agreed however that the Working
Party would not recommend immediate adoption by the Contracting Parties,
but that the draft should be circulated to governments for study and
comments with a view to further consideration at the Seventh Session.
Such comments should reach the Secretariat by I February 1952 in order
that they might .be given full circulation. Substantial agreement was
found in the Working Party on the main lines of the Internationa.
Chamber of Commerce proposals.
On the question of the abolition of transit manifests, the scope of
this suggestion was not very clear, and additional information promised
by the International Chamber of Commerce had not arrived, The Working
Party therefore decided not to include this matter amongst its draft
recommendations. It could, of course, be taken up again at the Seventh
Session in the light of any further information received
The Working Party unanimously agreed that since the Contracting
Parties had deferred consideration of Resolution 1 on the subject of
valuations for customs purposes it would not be appropriate for the
Working Panty to discuss Section F of Resolution III, which is connected
with this subjects
III. CONSULAR FORMALITIES
At in the matter of documentary requirements, the Working Party
decided that their draft recommendations on consular formalities might be
submitted to governments for study and comment with a view to further
consideration at the Seventh Session of the Contracting Parties. Comments
should reach the Secretariat by 1 February 1952 in order that they may be
given full circulation.
One of the rules which the International Chamber of Commerce recommended
should be followed in cases where governments find. it impossible to dispense
with consular formalities stated that "additional documents such as certificates
of origin should not be required". The meaning and implications of this
point were not clear to the Working Party and it was decided not to
incorporate it in the draft. CP.6/W22

Page 16 ANNEX B
To the Report of Working Party 1 on Resolutions of the International Chamber of Commerce
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS ON DOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE IMPORTATIONS OF GOODS
The large number of documents which traders, forwarding agents and
carriers are required to compile for different authorities constitute an
appreciable obstacle to the smooth flow of goods between countries. Not
only is additional expense and clerical work imposed on the parties to an
international commercial transaction but the nisplacement of one of these
documents or an error of compilation may result in severe hardship wholly
out of proportion to the usefulness of the document,
The Contracting Parties have therefore agreed to submit to govern-
ments the following draft code of Standards for study with a view to
further consideration at the Seventh Session of the Contracting Parties.
Standrads as to Documentary Requirements
1. Number of Documents required
Facts relating to imported goods which are required for customs or
other governmental purposes should, to the greatest possible extent
be ascertained from the commercial documents relating to the transaction
in question, In principle the following commercial documents should
suffice to meet governmental requirements:
(i) transport document (bill of lading, consignment note);
(ii) commercial invoices accompanied where necessary by a
packing list.
The specification of these documents does not mean that documents
such as manifests customs entry or declaration forms or Import licenses
can be dispensed with, It is also to be understood that in certain
circumstances the production of other documents such as certificates
of origin, consular invoices freight or insurance papers, sanitary
certificates etc. may be required.
2. Combined Standard Invoice Form
Where governments require consular invoices and/or certificates of
origin in addition to the commercial invoice, they should attempt to
establish a combined form to take the place of these separate documents.
The combined form should invariably be treated as a substitute for, and
not as an addition to, the commercial invoices, consular invoices and
certificates of origin. Governments should keep down to a CP.6/W/22
Page 17
strict minimum the number of copies required and, as far as possible the
necessary forms should be supplied to the trader free of charge or at
a nominal charge.
3. Collection of Statistical Information
Where statistical information is required by governments, it should
as far as possible be taken from the customs and other documents normally
submitted by the exporter or importer for customs purposes, The exporter
should not be required to fill in statistical forms for the goverment
of the importing country and the importer should not be required to
provide statistical information for the country of export. In other
words, the government of the exporting country should get its data from
the exporter and the government of the importing country from the
importer,
4. Tariff Classification of Goods,
It should not be obligatory for the exporter of shipper to classify
his goods according to the customs tariff of the country of import. Such
classification should be done by the importer, if required, subject of
course to review by, customs authorities,
5. Weights and Measures
While governmental authorities should be free to require their import
and export documents to be made out in terms of the weights and measures
in force in their territory, commercial documents expressed in terms of
the weights and measures of the country of exportation, or in terms of
any weights or measureseused internationally an the trade concerned should
be accepted in support of import documents. Similarly, export invoices
expressed in terms of the weights and measures of the importing country
or in terms of any weights or measures used internationally in the trade
concerned should be accepted in support of export documents CP.6/W/22
Page 18
ANNEX C
To the Report of Working Party l on Resolutions
of the International Chamber of Commerce
The complexity of consular formalities required by some countries
and the excessive charges accompanying them are among the most serious of
the invisible barriers to international trade, Not only must exporters fill
in and sign a disproportionate number of copies of the documents required,
often in the language of the country of destination, but the fee charged is
in many cases a high percentage of the value of the goods. For minor errors,
moreover, fines are frequently imposed, or the importer is obliged to make
out documents again in their entirety. Shipowners and shippers, as well as
the ultimate consumers are as much victims of this state of affairs as the
exporters. In this connection it should be noted that a large part of the
world's trade is carried on without consular invoices or visas,
The Contracting Parties have therefore agreed to submit to governments
the following draft recommendations for study with a view to further con-
sideration at the Seventh Session of the Contracting Parties.
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS
The Contracting Parties urge the abolition of consular invoices and
of consular visas for commercial invoices, certificates of origin, mani-
fests, etc.
Should, however, certain governments find it impossible, for reasons
genuinely connected with their customs regulations, to dispense with these
documents and visas, the Contracting Parties recommend that the following
rules be observed by the consular authorities in the country of exportation:
1. the consular fee should be a small fixed charge not proportionate
to the value of the goods;
2, the consular fee should be payable by the exporter and in the
currency of the exporting country;
3. no additional charges should be imposed for mistakes made in good
faith by the exporter in drawing up the documents, and within
reasonable limits corrections should be permitted,
4. no charge or only a nominal charge should be made for supplying
the forms to be filled in;
5. not more than five copies should be required of each document;
6. delays in dealing with documents and charges for overtime should
be reduced to a minimum. |

WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
French Amendment to Article 2 of the Draft Convention on Samples
The text of Article 2 proposed by the French Delegation differs
essentially from the text examined by the Contracting Parties on the
following points:
(a) It is not left to the customs authorities to decide finally
whether or not the sample in question should be exempt from
import duties. Of course, the customs authorities would have
to decide whether duty free admission was to be granted; but
by relieving the customs authorities of the duty of making a
final decisions, the text implicitly reserves the right of
importers who did not accept the opinion of the customs
authorities to refer the matter to a judicial or arbitral
tribunal in conformity with Article X of the General Agreement.
The possibility of arbitrary decisions by the administration
would thus be avoided.
(b) The French proposal rejects the restrictive clause of paragraph 3
which is not justified in the case of samples without value.
It is clear that imports of samples of negligible value, such as
those referred to in paragraph 3, would not be damaging to the interests
of the manufacturers of the importing country.
Furthermore, a new examination of the.text reveals that in the
circumstance set out above it would be unnecessary to know whether
Article 2 should be applied in conjunction with the reciprocal treatment
clause or with the most-favoured-nation clause. In these conditions,
the French Delegation would have no difficulty in deleting the phrase
between square brackets in paragraph 1 of Article 2.
As the samples concerned would be of negligible value and would not
involve any payment, questions of foreign currency and currency restrictions
would also be immaterial. On the other hand it would be necessary to make
it clear that the undertaking to exempt from import duties valueless samples
of goods of all kinds would not prevent the states signatories to the
Convention from prohibiting the importation of samples of goods, the
import of which was prohibited for reasons of protection of health, public
morals or public order; it would be illogical to allow the importation of
samples to solicit orders of prohibited goods. - 2 -
ARTICLE 2
1. Each contracting party undertakes to exempt from import duties
samples of goods of all kinds imported into its territory, [either directly
or through the agency of commercial travellers, by manufacturers or traders
established in the territory of any contracting party provided such
samples are of negligible value and are only to be used for soliciting
orders
2. The customs authorities of the importing country may require that,
as a condition to their being exempted from import duties in accordance
with paragraph 1 of this Article, they shall be made useless by tearing,
perforation or other treatment, but not, however, so as to destroy their
value as samples.
3. The above provisions shall not prevent a contracting party from
prohibiting the importation of samples of goods, sports of which are
prohibited to protect a state monopoly or for reasons relating directly
to the protection of health, public morals or public order in the
contracting state. |

Note by United Kingdom Delegation
In accordance with the undertaking given at the first meeting of the
Working Party on 24th September, the United Kingdom Delegation circulates
herewith a tabular comparison of the draft working document submitted by
the United Kingdom with the draft League of Nations Convention of 1935. 1935 draft Convention

Preamble Preamble and concluding paragraph
of Article 15
The provisions of the 1935 Convention regarding
plenipotentiaries and their powers have been
recast into modern form and incorporated in
Article 15. The statement of the objectives
of the Convention has been redrafted
slightly in the interests of brevity and
clarity.
Article 1, paragraph 1
Article 2, paragraph 1
The major provision of the 1935 Convention,
Article 1, paragraph 1, figures as Article 2,
paragraph 1 in the United Kingdom draft, The
United. Kingdom draft makes it clear that the
Article covers not only direct importations
by traders but also those made by commercial
travellers, but limits the exemption to
importations effected by traders established.
in the territory of the signatories of the
Convention. The United Kingdom draft differs
from the 1935 Convention in that it uses the
Iimitation "of negligible value" in place of
"no saleable value". It is clear that
practically all samples have some value and
the United Kingdom draft is intended to over-
come this difficulty. The expression "can only
be used for soliciting orders" has been replaced
by "are only to be used for soliciting orders".
The former would, it is suggested, be too
restrictive since it is clear that there is no
useful ample of, say, cocoa, which could be
used for solicting orders.

This paragraph has not been retained. It is not clear
why it was ever necessary since the draft Convention
imposed no obligation to admit goods in regard to
which this was necessaryervationmane and if certain
goods were not admitted at all, there was no point
in reserving the right to cnarge duty oj them.
To avoid separate addenda to Articles1 paragraph I of
the Amnex 1o Articles I and 2 of the 1935
Conventioh has been brought into Article 2 as
paragraph 2. The drafting has been tightened up
considerably.
Paragraph 2 of the Annex 1o Articles I and 2 of the
1935 Convention has been converted into paragraph 3

Drafting changes have been maede which mak it clear
that this article is a particular application of the
general provisions of Article 2, and that it does
not prejudialitye generosity of thot Article t.
which it is subsidiary. The provision for possible
limits of wume ht or volze in the United Kingdom
draft originally appeared i1 ofragraph 1 cC Article

tightening of the Article, but countries are free

to a single sample of each kind or quality.
The drafting has been amended slightly without change

paragraph to this Article.
No change.
The United Kingdom draft goes beyond single copies.
It is suggested that the Working Party may be
prepared to go further than the old 1935 Convention
and extend exemption to packets containing more than
one copy of a document; provided that they do not
exceed a certain weight per package, and subject,
perhaps, to the additional condition that they are
imported by post. The United Kingdom draft has the
effect of limiting exemption to literature sent from
the territory of a signatory to the Convention and
relating to goods offered for sale by a trader
established in such a territory. It is considered
probable that the Working Party, would support this
limitation of the benefits of the Convention to
those countries which sign it. /Article 3

Comments
There is no change of substance here but the
drafting has been tightened and clarified
The relative provision of the old Convention
was complicated, requiring as it did that a
number of documents be treated as if they
were a single copy. This rather clumsy
device had the disadvantage of implying that
separate and simultaneous despatch of the
same document to different addressees was riot
in effect a particular case of the general
proposition that single copies should be
admitted free of duty; the United Kingdom
draft endeavours to emphasise that there is
no such inconsistency, It is suggested that
the direct statement in the body of the
Article in the United Kingdom draft is
preferable to the method of definition by
extension adopted in the League of Nations
draft Convention,
The United Kingdom draft attempts at the
expense of a little repetition, to clarify
the presumed intention of the 1935
Convention without changing the sub stance.
it is suggested that it is preferable 'to
incorporate these provisions in the body of
the Article, rather than perpetuate the
device of having an Annex.
/ Annex 1935 draft Convention U.K. working document
Annex to Article 3,
paragraph 3
Article 4, paragraph 3 (c)
The reminder of the Annex has been carried into
paragraph 3 of the Article. There is a slight
change of substance in that the United Kingdom
draft does not provide a positive affirimation
of the obvious truth that signatories are free
to go beyond the provisions of the Convention
in admitting free of duty separately addressed
documents imported grouped together. It is
suggested that this is unnecessary and that it
is only necessary to reserve each country's
right to refuse exemption to such grouped
documents.
Article 4, paragraph 4
This paragraph was included as a result of a
typing error and should be deleted.
Article 4
article 1 (a)
The redraft, which is based on the text used in
the UNESCO Convention, is tighter in that it
does not carrry any implication of obligation
to allow the importation of goods subject to
import licence or other restriction, It also
dispenses with vague conditions not susceptible
of satisfactory administration (e.g. "purposes
of general publicity").
In conformity with modern practice, the
definition of this key expression has been
placed at the head of the Convention.

This new paragraph in the United. Kingdom draft

It is suggested that the generality of the opening
phrase should not be limited by the
particularity of the second phrase of the League

No change.
In accordance with the suggestion of the United

To avoid cross-reference between Conventions, the
.United Kingdon suggests the incorporation of the
relevant provisions of the 1923 Convention in
the present Convention. Delegations, will find
that Articles 6 and 8 of the United Kingdom,
draft are identical in substance with Article
10 of the 1923 Convention on the Simplification
of Customs Formalities.
Articles 9/17
Articles 9/15
These are formal provisions as to entry into
force etc. usually appearing in Conventions.
The text in the United Kingdom draft is
regarded as more modern than the corresponding
Articles in the 1935 draft Convention.

WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF
THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Proposal by the Greek Delegation
The question of reciprocity discussed by the members of Working Party 1
is one of great importance. The problem does not arise among the countries
signatories to the Convention; but it would be very useful to have definite
provisions specifying the extent of the obligations of countries members of
the General Agreement and signatories to the Convention towards countries
members of the General Agreement which have not signed the Convention, but are
bound as members of the General Agreement by the most-favoured-nation clause.
In those circumstances, the existence of a reciprocity clause, binding
upon States not signatories to the Convention and constituting an essential
condition for the extension to them of the benefits of the Convention, would
make the treatment equitable and just on both sides.
It would appear, however, that consideration of the relations between
various international bodies, and the resulting conflicts would go beyond
the terms of reference given by the Contracting Parties to the Working Party.
The Greek delegation's proposal is that the report to be drawn up by the
Working Party should make special mention of this point, and should express
the hope that the problem will be dealt with by the Contracting Parties. |

Sixth Session
WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE
ENTENATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Statement by Mr, ROLF von HEIDENSTAM,
President of the International Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen,
It is a source of very special gratificaion to me that my first official
act as newly-elected President of the International Chamber of Commerce is to
represent my organization at this meeting, Two things make it so. First, the
fact that the Contracting Parties have agreed to study three sets of proposals the
International Chamber of Commerce has put forward for imp-oving and simplifying
the administrative machinery of international trade and that they have set up
this Working Party specially for that purpose. Secondly, this is the first time
the Intornational Chamber of Commerce has had the privilege of appearing before
representatives of the Contracting Parties to state its case directly and answer
questions. May I therefore begin by expressing our very real gratitude and
appreciation to the Contracting Parties on both those counts and at the same time
the hope that this occasion will mark the beginning of a long and fruitful co-
operation between the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the International
Chamber of Commerce.
I speak of cooperation advisedly. You havo seen from all our documents the
immense importance attached by the International Chamber of commerce to close co-
operation both nationally and internationally between representatives of governments
and representatives of trade and industry. We believe, in fact, that since both
are socking the same goal - the expansion of international trade - nothing but
good can come of comparing notes on the difficultics and problems each encounters
within its own field. I should like, however, to remove at the outset any
possibility of misunderstanding one one point. The Contracting Parties
have roughly, as I understand, two functions, One is to negotiate tariff
reductions and the other to implement as far as possible the other provisions of
the Agreement. Now, we in the International Chamber of Commerce perfectly
appreciate that anything connected with tariff negotiations must go on behind
closed doors. When we speak of cooperation, we therefore take it for granted
that that whole important side of your work is entirely outside our parview. We
are thinking, exclusively of the second function of the Contracting Parties and
primarily of the kind of activity going on in this Working Party. Here we are
on common ground and share common experiences, and we are therefore convinced
that we can both learn from you and, at the same the, help.
! fore taking up the technical questions on the Agenda of' the Working
Party may I say one more word of a general character. The international Chamber
of Commerce has constantly uphold the viaw that there is a real need for a world- CP.6/W/13
Page 2
wide inter.-governmental body to deal with all problems of international trade.
The International Chamber of Commerce has been following the development of
the General Agreement with the greatest interest and, as you will have see
from a recent resolution confirmed by its Lisbon Congress last June, it
believes that the organization which has grown up around the General Agreement
should be made permanent so as to form the nucleus of that international
trade organization we all want to see established.
I now cone to the three International Chamber of Commerce proposals
which the Contracting Parties have selected for immediate consideration. The
views of the International Chamber of Commerce have already been stated at
some length in the documents before you, so with your permission I shall
confine myself to singling out a few points in connection with each proposal
concerning which our written statements may perhaps usefully be amplified.
SAMPLES AND ADVERTISING MATERIAL
I understand that you have already made considerable progress in
connection with the International Chamber of Commerce proposal for an
international convention on the customs treatment of samples and advertising
material, I shall therefore try to avoid going over familiar ground. An
international convention on this subject would be of great and real value to
trade. The whole system of commercial travellers, samples and the circu-
lation of advertising material is an essential part of the machinery used by
business for expanding trade and has grown considerably with the development
of a more scientific approach to market research and advertising. Anything
that can be done to oil the wheels of this machinery will therefore benefit
trade.
In suggesting as a point of departure the League Draft of 1935 the
International Chamber of Commerce had in mind that it might be best to follow
the example of the League by starting with the comparatively simple problem
of samples of no commercial value and of the treatment of commercial travellers
and advertising material, leaving till later the probably more complex problem
of samples of value. This is not, of course, a point upon which the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce would wish to insist, but I felt it might be
useful to mention this fact as guidance to the Working Party.
A second point is that when the International Chamber of Commerce
speaks of the need for bringing the League Draft up to date with later
developments, it had in mind .specifically the need for broadening it to
include the problem of import licenses and controls other than customs
.tariffs as well as of exchange control fomalities.
Another point which may be useful as an indication to the Working
Party is the experience both of the League and of the International Chamber
of Commerce that it is probably impossible to find a satisfactory definition
of samples of no commercial value and that if the convention is to be
workable something in the way of a list of products will be necessary as a
guidance to the customs officials. It would of course be essential that such
a list be carefully scrutinised to ensure that it is in line with present-
day practice in the trades concerned. CP.6/W/13

DOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The subject of documentary requirements is such a vast one that it
can probably be dealt with more satisfactorily by the method of question and
answer. But I should like to mention one thing. In the discussions which
took place within the International Chamber of Commerce concerning the
question of a combined invoice form, the importers and exporters of all
"countries were pretty well unanimous in their praise of the system adopted
by the countries and customs territories within the British Commonwealth of
having a standard invoice form for each territory of destinations combining
in a single document the. functions of commercial invoice consular or
certified invoice and certificates of origin. This is a system which I
therefore recommend to the attention of the Working Party.
I may add that the International Chamber of Commerce has abandoned
for the time being its original proposal for the immediate introduction of
a world-wide standard form of commercial invoice to be accepted by all
customs administrations. Further investigation and discussion within the
International Chamber of Commerce made it clear that such an invoice would
only be workable if customs regulations, for instance those concerning
valuation and nationality, were first standardised universally.
CONULAR FORMALITIES
The question of consular formalities is obviously closely bound up
with that of documentary requirements in general. If the International
Chamber of Commerce has singled it out for special treatment, it is first
because of its gravity and secondly because it appears to be capable of
separate solution.
Complaints are constantly pouring into the International Chamber of
Commerce from importers and exporters and from their trade associations
concerning the unnecessary complexity of consular formalities and the
excessive charges accompanying them. When you look into these complaints
carefully, it is clear that there is only one effective solution and that
is to get rid of the whole system of consular invoices and of consular
visas for invoices and other commerical documents. They serve no useful
purpose, the International Chamber of Commerce found, except in those rare -
and I repeat rare - cases whore the existence of special regulations
concerning valuation for instance, compels the importing country to establish
some official system of checking in the exporting country. I do not say
that the International Chamber of Commerce approves the system oven in
these exceptional cases, but at least it understands the reasons for which
the system is maintained. It is to meet those rare cases that the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce has listed certain rules which should be
observed if consular formalities are not to act as an unnecessary hindrance
on the movement of goods. But I must emphasize again that generally speaking
the International Chamber of Commerce is convinced that the whole system of
consular formalities should and could be abolished/
* * CP.6/W/13 Page 4 We are now ready to answer to the best of our ability any questions
you may wish to put and to help in any way within our powers The Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce will be happy to give its considered views.
after full consultation with its member, on any proposals the Contracting
Parties may formulate on these important practical issues. And we shall
willingly place at your disposal the services of the International Chamber
of Commerce to obtain whatever data or advice from trades and industries
or individual exports you my need in your future work, Our only desire,
Mr. Chairman and Gantlemex, is to he helpful. |

WORKING PARTY 1 ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHAMEER OF COMMERCE
Draft Covention for the purpose of Facilitating Commercial Propaganda
Revised Draft submitted by the United Kingdom Delegation
During the course of the discussion on this subject at the Contracting Par-
ties' meeting on 18th September, it was mentioned that the draft Convention drawn up
in 1935 (which is the text revived by the I.C.C. Resolution) must now be regarded as
out-of-date in its drafting.
The United Kingdom Delegation has essayed a more up-to-date version of the
provisions relating to samples and commercial advertising material, and this revised
text is circulated herewith as a possible alternative draft for consideration.

rities of the territory into which they are imported, they are of negligible value

quire that, as a condition of their being exempted from import duties in accor-
dance with paragraph 1 of this Article, they shall be made useless by tearing,

territory of any other Contracting Party, provided that the said samples or speci-
mens are accempanied by a descriptive list certified by the customs authorities
of the latter- tarritory. Additional marks may, however, be affixed to the samples
or specimens by the customs authorities of the territory into which they are impor-
ted in all cases in which the latter consider this additional guarantee indispensable
for ensuring the identification of the samples or specimens on re-exportation.
Except in the latter case, customs verification shall be confined to identifying
the samples or specimens and deciding the import duties with which they may even-
tually be chargeable.
5. The period allowed for re-exportation shall be not less than six months,

when determining the formalities required in respect of the matters covered by the
present Convention.

they must conform to the specimen annexed to this Convention, and be delivered by
an authority designated for this purpose by the Contracting Party in whose territo-
ry the manufacturers or traders have their business headquarters, Subject to reci-
procity, no consular or other visa shall be required on identity cards unless a
Contracting Party shows that such a requirement is rendered necessary by special

Amendment
Preamble. Delete "and regarding related
subjects"
This phrase is not. needed if the Working
Party agrees that the provisions of
Article 7 of the 1935 Convention should,
not figure in the present draft
Convention.
Article 1 para. (b). For "a metropolitan
territory" substitute "its
metropolitan territory"
Article 1. Insert new paragraph as
follows :-
"The provisions of this Con-
vention shall not be construed as
granting to importers the right
to import samples, specimens or
advertising material which could
not otherwise be imported"
Article 3. Delete the Article.
Article 4 para. 1 (i), line 2, Delete
"through the post"
(ii)
line 3. Amend "packets"
to read "a packet"
(iii) line 4. Delete "[7 ounce]"
Delete "per packet". Amend
"packets". to read "a
packet"
(iv) :line 3. After "docuement"
insert "provided in each
case that the packet does
not form part of a larger
consignment'. Delete "in
a packet" after the word
"document".
(v) line 7. Amend "Separate and
simultaneous" to read
"Separate but simultaneous".
The United Kingdom delegation has taken
the liberty of basing itself upon the
amendment proposed by the Indian
delegation in relation to Article 2.
It suggests that it would be more
appropriate to write a general provision
of this kind into Article 1.
This is in accordance with the views
expressed by the United Kingdom
delegation, and other delegations,
when the Article was discussed during
the first reading.
It was generally agreed that exemption
need not be limited to documents
despatched through the post.
It is thought preferable to use for the
purposes of the Convention an appropriate
round figure in the metric system. There
is nothing to stop a country continuing
the use of a higher figure e.g. 8 ouncess
in its domestic legislation.
Dui5ng the preiminiary discussion of this
paragraph it was mentioned that postal
importation provided an automatic
limitation on thenumbere of packets sent.
If the exemption is to be generalised to
all forms of transmission, alimiiting
phase such as that now poposed seemseis
necessary.

WORKING PARTY 1 ON THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF CNMRCE
Addendum
Draft Clause submitted by the Indian Delegation
In the original League of Nations Draft in Article 1(2), there was a
provision that the Convention would not apply to samples of goods which formed
the subject of a State monopoly or the import of which was prohibited on moral,
humanitarian, hygienic, veterinary and' phytopathological grounds or on grounds
of public safety. This clause has been dropped in the United Kingdom Draft.
The reason given is that it is not clear why it was ever necessary since the
Draft Convention imposed no obligation to admit goods in regard to which this
reservation was necessary and that if certain goods were not admitted at all,
there was no point in reserving the right to charge duty on them. While the
reason advanced is perfectly logical, the Indian Delegation feels that the
original clause makes for certainty and avoids any misunderstanding. Not only
goods which are prohibited for the reasons given in the League of Nations
Draft, but other goods completely banned (e.g.) for balance-of-payments
reasons, may also be involved, In any case, the importer of samples should
have no grounds to believe that he can import free of duty samples of all
kinds even for goods which are prohibited. Provision to this effect in the
Convention will do no harm to the Convention but; on the contrary, add to
? - -iStyr
For this reason, the Indian Delegation would suggest the addition of the
fsllowing proviso in Article 2) as fub-clause 4:
"The provisions of this Convention shall not be construed as
granting to importers the right to import free of duty any
commercial samples or advertising material in connection with
goods which could not otherwise be imported."

CONTRACTING PARTIES
Sixth Session
WORKING PARTY 1 ON THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Draft Recommendations on Documentary
Requirement for the Movement of Goods
in International Trade
The largo number of documents which traders forwarding agents and
carriers are required to compile for different authorities constitute an
appreciable obstacle to the smooth flow of goods between countries. Not
only is additional expense and clerical work imposed on the parties to an
international commercial transaction but the misplacement of one of these
documents or an error of of compiation may result in severe hardship and
material loss wholly out of proportion to the usefulness of the document.
The Contracting Parties have therefore agreed to submit to govern-
ments the following draft code of Standards for study with a view to further
consideration at the Seventh Session of the Contracting Parties.
DRAFT
Standards as to Documentry Requirements
1. Number of Documents required
In principle the following commercial documents should suffice to
meet governmental requirements and the needs of trade and transport:
(i) transport document (bill of lading, consignment note);
(ii) commercial invoice or combined standard invoice and certificate
of origin, accompanied where necessary by a packing list;'
(iii) manifest, in the case of sea or air transport.
The specification of these three documents does not mean that
documents such as customs entry or declaration forms or import licenses can be
dispensed with. It is also to be understood that in certain circumstances
the production of additional documents such as freight or insurance papers,
sanitary certificates etc. may be required,
2. Combined Standard Invoice Form
It is recommended that ondeavours to achieve the international CP.6/W/2/Add.12
Page 2
standardisation of commercial invoices should be continued. In the meantime,
where a combined standard invoice form and certificate of origin already
exists it should invariably be treated as a substitute for, and not as an
addition to, the commercial invoice or consular invoice and certificate of
origin. Governments should keep down to a strict minimum the number of
copies of each document required and, as far as possible, the necessary forms
should be supplied to the trader free of charge.
3. Abolition of Transit Manifest
In cases where ships call at ports to land part only of their cargo,
or for purposes other than..the landing of cargo, no special transit manifest
should be required. It is recognised that a copy of the original manifest,
as made out in the original language, may be asked for by the authorities
of the country at whose port the ship calls.
Where statistical information is required by governments, it should
as far as possible be taken from the customs and other documents normally
submitted by the exporter or importer for customs purposes and in no case
should the exporter be required to fill in statistical forms for the
government of the importing country or the importer be requested to provide
statistical information relating to the country of export. In other words,
the government of the exporting country should got its data from the
exporter and the government of the importing country front the importers.
5. Tariff Classification of Goods
It should never be obligatory for the exporter or shipper to classify his
goods according to tho customs tariff of the country of import. Such
classification should be done by the importer in the country of destination,
subject of course to review by customs authorities.
6. Weights and Measures
While Governmental authorities are free to require their national
documents such as customs entries to be made out in terms of the weights and
measures in force in their territory, commercial documents expressed in terms
of the weights and measures of the country of exportation, or any weights or
measures commonly used in the trade concerned should be accepted in support
of such documents. Similarly, export invoices expressed in terms of the
weights and measures of the importing country should be accepted in support
of export documents. |

Sixth Session
WORKING PARTY 2 ON SCHEDULES
Agenda and Notes for the First Meeting
1. Procedure to give effect to the results of the negotiations between
Germany and South Africa (GATT/CP.6/22).
The Working Party may wish to defer its consideration of this matter
until the Working Party on Arrangements for Tariff Negotiations has completed
its consideration of procedures for giving effect to the results of new nego-
tiations between contracting parties.
2. Procedure to give effect to the changes to the French Schedule under
Article XXVIII (GATT/CP.6/14).
3. Procedure to give effect to the changes in the Benelux, Danish, Italian
and United States lists (GATT/CP.6/4/Add.1 Annex 2).
4. Procedure to give effect to the transposed United Kingdom Geneva and
Annecy Schedules. The Working Party will recall that the United Kingdom
has proposed that the transposed schedules be incorporated in a protocol
of rectifications.
5. Sixth Protocol of Rectifications.
6. Status of the consolidated Schedules.
NOTES: 1) The Working Party should consider whether it would be advisable to
incorporate the changes listed in items 2 and 3 above into the schedules by
means of a formal protocol and, if so, whether in a protocol of rectifications,
of modifications or a more general protocol that could include both rectifi-
cations and modifications.
2) Sixth Protocol of Rectifications
In addition to the rectifications listed in GATT/CP.6/4 and Add. 1 & 2,
which have already been distributed to delegations, rectifications have been
proposed to the Cuban and Indonesian Schedules. The Cuban rectifications are
incorporated in their consolidated list and will be separately distributed in
a few days and the Indonesian rectifications are being distributed as an annex
to document CP.6,/W/4. CP.6/W/3
page 2
A draft protocol will be prepared by the Secretariat for the consideration
of the Working Party on the basis of whatever decision the Working Party takes
on items 2, 3 and 4 of this agenda.
3) Status of the Consolidated Schedules
Consolidated Schedules have now been received by the Secretariat from
all governments with the exception of Brazil and Uruguay. The consolidated
Brazilian schedule is expected within the week. The Working Party may wish to
set a time limit for the submission of comments on the Schedules. The original
time limit was the opening date of the Sixth Session but in view of the fact
that two schedules have not yet been received and several schedules were sent
only within the last few days, delegations may wish to have longer time to
consider them. Corrections have already been made to several schedules by
various governments and a list follows of those of which the Secretariat
has been informed.
In addition to setting a time limit for the submission of comments on
the consolidated lists, the Working Party should decide on a date by which
the final consolidated lists, in a form suithble for photo offsetting and in
both English and French, should be submitted by each delegation to the
Secretariat.

Addendum
NOTE SUGGESTING A PROCEDURE AND TIMETABLE
Up to the present time comments on several consolidated schedules have been
received by the Secretariat and corrections have been issued on others A list
setting out the present position is appended. Other corrections have been orally
notified direct to the delegations concerned,
It is suggested that, unless any serious questions of substance arise in
connection with any of these comments, there would be little use in having these
comments or the actual texts of the consolidated schedules discussed by the Working
Party. Such a procedure would be a departure from the procedure followed in
Geneva, Annecy and Torquay where the schedules were circulated to all delegations
for review, corrections were made by delegations where necessary and the schedules
were then rolled for signature. There was no general review of the final copies
before they were signed, nor did the Tariff Negotiations Working Party consider
the comments on individual schedules.
The consolidated schedules will be a practical document having no legal
standing. Therefore the Secretariat suggests that delegations should be responsible
for drawing up the corrected versions of their consolidated lists, in the light
of any comments received, and after consultation with the delegations concerned,
without reference to the Working Party.
The following timetable and procedure is proposed:
1. Before 15 October - Each delegation should list all the corrections made
to its consolidated list and hand 40 copies of this list to the Secretariat for
distribution OR retype the pages that have been altered and hand 40 copies of
each page to the Secretariat for distribution.
2. Before the close of the Session - Each delegation should supply the
Secretariat with two clean and correct copies of its consolidated schedule in
English and two clean and correct copies in French for photo-offsetting.
(These final copies may be typed rather than mimeographed. If delegations
are retyping individual pages or the whole of their schedules, the two columns
indicating the place of negotiation and the countries with whom concessions were
negotiated should be omitted.) C O M M E N T S

WORKING PARTY 2 ON SCHEDULES
CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES
Note from the Pakistan Delegation
The Pakistan Delegation wish to draw the attention of the
Contracting Parties to certain omissions in some of the Consolidated
Schedules. The tariff concessions, which were negotiated with India at
Geneva in 1947, were negotiated on behalf of both India and Pakistan. For
this reason, the Pakistan Schedule of Tariff Concessions No. XV and
India's schedule No. XII are identical.
Some of the Contracting Parties, who have submitted their
Consolidated Schedules, have shown the name of India only against the
concessions offered to India and Pakistan at Geneva.
As this does not represent the correct position, the Contracting
Parties are requested to effect the necessary modifications in their
Consolidated Schedulos by adding the name of Pakistan against the
relevant items, as has been done by the United States of America and
Czechoslovakia in their Consolidatod Schedules.

DRAFT PROTOCOL OF RECTIFICATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS TO
THE TEXTS OF THE SCHEDULES TO THE GENERAL AGREEMENT
ON TARIFFS AND TRADE
A draft First Protocol of Rectifications and Modifications to the
Texts of the Scheduies to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is
circulated herewith.* This includes the rectifications which have been
circulated to date, either with the consolidated schedules or as addenda
to documents CP.6/4 or CP.6/W/4. Any corrections should be communicated
to the Secretariat.
It will be noted that the draft Protocol leaves space for the inclusion
of the rectifications to the Cuban Schedules (which were circulated in draft
form with document CP.6/W/4/Add.2) and of the United Kingdom transposed
Geneva and Annecy Schedules (which were circulated with document CP.6/W/4).
Any changes in the Cuban rectifications will be circulated as an addendum
to this document when they are received and both the Cuban rectifications
and the United Kingdom transposed lists will, of course, be included in the
signature copy.
This Protocol, including as it will in its final form the transposed
United Kingdom lists, will,be a very bulky document of some 350 pages. It
is suggested that a printed or photo-offset edition would be the more
convenient to handle and no more expensive in all, than a mimeographed one.
The Working Party may wish to consider whether it should recommend that the
Contracting Parties authorize the Executive Secretary to arrange for the
printing of the Protocol.
* A limited number of copies is being sent to each delegation because of the
size of this document. |

WORKING PARTY 2 ON SCHEDULES
Draft Protocol to Incorporate the Results of the
Negotiations between Germany and the Union of
South Africa
The Working Party decided at its first meeting to await the results of
the work of Working Party 4 on Tariff Negotiations Arrangements in preparing

putting into effect under the General Agreement the results of tariff ne-.
gotiations between two or more contracting parties, and
The governments of Gormany and the -Union of South Africa which are

be free at any time to withhold or to withdraw in whole or in part any
concession, provided for in the appropriate schedule annexed to this Protocol,
in respect of which such contracting party determines that it was initially
negotiated with a negotiating contracting party which has not signed this
Protocol,
It both Germany and South Africa are able to sign the Protocol on
the same day this paragraph could be omitted. CP.6/W/20
Page 2

(i) the negotiating contracting party withholding or withdrawing
in whole or in part any such concessions shall give notice to
all contracting parties within thirty days after the date of
such withholding or withdrawal and, upon request, shall consult

product 'involved; and.
(ii) any concession so withheld or withdrawn shall be applied on and
after the thirtieth day following the day upon which the contracting
party with which it was initially negotiated signs this Protocol.
3. In each case in which Article II of the General Agreement refers to the
date of that Agreement, the applicable date in respect of the Schedules
annexed to this Protocol shall be the date of this Protocol.
4. (a) The original text of this Protocol, together with the annexes
thereto, shall be open for signature by contracting parties at .Geneva on

WORKING PARTY 2 ON SCHEDULES,
Draft Report
1. The Working Party was charged by its terms of reference to prepare a
protocol or protocols to give effect to the modifications and rectifications
of the schedules resulting from:
(a) The results of negotiations under Article XXVIII unfinished
at Torquay;
(b) The transposition of the Geneva and Annecy Schedules of the
United Kingdom into Brussels Convention nomenclature;
(c) Rectifications to various schedules; and
(d) Negotiations between Germany and South Africa.
and to prepare a text consolidating the Geneva, Annecy and Torquay Schedules.
Rectifications the Texts of the Schedules
2, The Working Party noted that, since the Third Session of the Contracting
Parties, no protocol of rectifications or of modifications has come into force
owing to the impossibility of obtaining the signature of all the contracting
parties. Clearly, it was never the intention of Article XXX to place difficulties
in the way of making rectifications of an entirely non-substantive character, nor
to prevent agreed modifications of the concessions contained in the schedules
to the General Agreement. Since the drawing up of the First Protocol of Modifi-
cations, several modifications have in fact been made to the concessions con-
tained in the schedules, either by decision of the Contracting Parties or by
consultations in accordance with procedures established by the Contracting
Parties and these have actually entered into force, In view of the fact that the
First Protocol of modifications had not entered into forces the Contracting
Parties were reluctant at the Forth and Fifth Sessions to include these further
modifications in a formal protocol. Nevertheless, it is clearly desirable that
the text of the schedules should be formally modified in order to take account
of , changes. Accordingly, the protocol, as drafted, recites that, in the
case of modifications of concessions which have already entered into forces the
Protocol provides merely for the modification of the text of the schedules.
3. The Working Party considered it undesirable and cumbersome to draw up
separate protocols to cover each type of rectification or modification and has
accordingly prepared a single protocol of rectifications and modifications to
the text of the schedules. This protocol incorporates the changes listed in
paragraph l(a), (b) and (c) and modifications including those to Schedule II)
made effective by the Decision of the Contracting Parties of 15 December 1950. CP.6/W/14
Page 2.
and to Schedules XX, XXII, and XXVI made effective by consultation with
the contracting parties.
4, The Working Party recommends that this protocol be opened for signature
at the close of the present sessions and that all delegations be urged to
sign the protocol before leaving Geneva in order that its entry into force
will not be delayed,
5. The Working Party understands that changes may be made in the scope of
the headings of the Brussels Nomenclature as a result of the work of the
Brussels Organisation towards securing uniform interpretation of the Nomencla-
ture which might make it necessary for the transposed Geneva and Annecy schedules
of the United Kingdom to be rectified at a later date, and it noted that any such
rectifications would be made in accordance with the usual procedure for rectifi-
cations of schedules,
6, The Working Party recommends that the Contracting Parties authorise the
Executive Secretary to arrange that this Protocol be printed.
7, A corrigendum to the non-authentic texts has also been prepared,
Negotiations between Germany and South Africa
8, (Paragraph to be inserted)
Concolidation of the Schedules
9* The Working Party found that the distribution of several schedules had been
delayed and therefore extended .the date for the submission of comments. It is.
essential that delegations prepare English and French texts of their consolida-
ted schedules. in the light of any comments received, and hand them to the
Secretariat before the close of the Sixth Session in a form suitable for
photo-offsetting.

WORKING PARTY 3 ON THE CONTINUING ADMINISTRATION
OF THE AGREEMENT
Note by the Chaiman of the Working Party
On the basis of the discussions which have taken place in the Working
Party, and in the light of certain consultations which I have had with
individual members of the Working Party, I venture to put forward the
following proposals as a basis for further discussion:
(a) It is evident from the discussion in the Contracting Parties
and in the Working Party that there is not a sufficient measuree
of agreement on the establishment of a Standing Committee to
justify proceeding with that suggestion at the present time.
(b) There is, however, general agreement that in order offectively
to administer the Agreement provision should be made to deal with
cases requiring urgent action between Sessions.
(c) There is also general agreement that the work of the regular
Sessions could be facilitated and shortened if more extensive
preparations of agenda items were undertaken in advance of the
Sessions.
(d) In these circunstances it soems to me that a solution to these
problems might be found along the following lines:
A. Ad hoc Committee for Agenda and Intersessional Business.
1. As an experimental arrangement to operate between the Sixth and Seventh
Sessions the Contracting Partios should establish an ad hoc Committee for
Agenda and Intersessional Business. This should consist of the Chairman of
the Contracting Parties (ex officio), as Chairman of the Committee, and of
.... members to be proposed by the Chairman and approved by the Contracting
Parties at the Sixth Session. If the Chairnan were not available to preside
at any meeting of the Committee, the Committee would elect a chairman for
that meeting.
FUNCTIONS
2. The functions of the Committee should be limited to the following
matters.
Preparation of Agenda of the Seventh Session
3. The Committee should meet four to six weeks before the opening of the
Seventh Session to consider what matters are likely to arise at that Session
and the adequacy of the documentation available. They should also meet at or
shortly before the opening of the Seventh Sessionto consider the provisional
Agenda and make recommendations to the Contracting Parties in the light of
the documentation submitted, as to the order of business. CP.6/W/17
Page 2
Urgent inter-sessional business
4. The Committee should meet as necessary to consider urgent matters
arising between the Sixth and Seventh Sessions, and not foreseen and provided
for by the Contracting Parties at the Sixth Sessions which:
(a) the contracting party (or parties) raising the matter requests
be so dealt with, or
(b) prima facie require to be dealt with in accordance with inter-
sessional procedures.
PROCEDURE
5. In respect of matters not provided for in paragraphs 6 and 7 below,
which in the view of the Committee require inter-sessional action, the
Committee should establish a Working Party consisting of some or all of its
members, together with the countries directly concerned, any countries
which claim a substantial interest in the matter and wish to be represented
on the Working Party, and any other countries which the Committee right
consider it necessary to invite and which were willing to serve on the
Working Party. The Working Party would examine all the relevant facts and
views and report thereon to the Seventh Session of the Contracting Parties.
If, however, a matter were of sufficient urgency the Working Party might
request the convening of a Special Session, in accordance with the rules of
procedure, to consider the Report of the Working Party.
6. In respect of any matter relating to the application of Articles XII
to XV of the Agreement which in the view of the Committee required such
inter-sessional action, the Committec would mako appropriate arrangements
for consideration of the matter in accordance with the inter-sessional
procedures adopted at the Third Session of the Contracting Partios. In any
case where, under these priced, the appointment of an ad hoc Working
Party would be called for, the function (at present invested in the Chairman)
of establishing this Working Party night be carried out by the Committee.
7. Matters relating to Article XVIII of the agreementt would continue to
be referred direct to the existing Inter-sessional Working Party appointed
at the Third Session and subsequently re-appointed.
MEETINGS
8. The Committee should meet in Geneva on the call of the Executive Secretary
9. Contracting parties not members of the Committee or of an intersessional
working party would, in accordance with the practice of the Contractind
Parties, be entitled to be represented by an observer at meetings of the
committee or working party. CP.6/W/17
Page 3
GENERAL
10. The foregoing suggestions relate only to urgent matters arising
between Sessions which cannot be foreseen at the time when the Contracting
Parties are in session. If, in the course of a session, it comes to the
notice of the Contracting Parties that a matter will arise between sessions
roquiring, action before the next regular session, the Contracting Parties
shall take action to provide the necessary arrangements for dealing with
the matter.
B. Secretariat
The question of the functions of the Secretariat should be dealt with
as . separate item in the report of the Working Party as indeed was the case
in the report of Working Party "L" of the 5th Session, which is the principal
document before the present Working Party. I suggest that the Working Party
recommend that the Contracting Parties decide that the usual functions of a secre-
tariat shall continue to be carried out, pending further consideration of this
matter at a later Session, by the Executive Secretary of the Interim
Comission for the International Trade Organizations The Working Party
might record that it considered that such functions would include the
examination of proposals submitted for the agenda of the Contracting Parties,
entering into consultations with interested contracting parties and the
submission of reports to the Contracting Parties. Furthermore, the Working
Party night wish to recommend that contracting parties facilitate the task
of the Secretariat to the fullest possible extent and that in appropriate
cases where the governments concerned are at a considerable distance from
the headquarters of the Secretariat, these governments consider designating
a representative stationed near the headquarters of the Secretariat who
would, subject of course to instructions by his government, be able to
discuss.with the Secretariat points arising in the preparation of such
reports. If this procedure is not convenient or appropriate in particular
cases, the governments concerned would make other arrangements for close
liaison and speedy communication between themselves and the Secretariat. |

WORKING PARTY 3 ON THE CONTINUING.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE AGREEMENT
Note by the Chairman of the Working Party
I have been giving some thought to the question raised by the Delegation of
the United States in document GATT/CP.6/13/Add. 1, which was briefly considered
by the Working Party at its first meeting. I would propose, if the other
members of the Working Party agree, that this matter might be dealt with in
our report along the following lines:
The Contracting Parties have not hitherto experienced any serious
difficulties arising from the lack of any definite arrangements between them
and the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations for inter-communication
and the avoidance of unnecessary overlapping between the two parties. This has
been due in considerable measure to the expectation that the Havana Charter
would In due course enter into force, and the consequent reluctance which the
Economic and Social Council has in general shown to giving any detailed
consideration to questions which would have eventually fallen to be dealt with
by the international Trade Organization; and the Secretariat of the Interim
Commission for an International Trade Organization, as representing the
interests of the proposed International Trade Organization, have been in a
position to foresee and assist in the avoidance of possible duplication of
activities.
In the new circumstances created by the fact that the entry into force
of the Havana Charter must be regarded as indefinitely postponed, it seems
desirable to examine the question whether there is a need for more clearly
defined arrangements between the Contracting Parties and the Economic and
Social Council to facilitate communication between the two bodies and avoid
unnecessary duplication of international activities in the field covered
by the General Agreement Accordingly, the Contracting Parties might instruct
the Executive Secretary to consult with the Secretary-General of the United
Nations on this subject and to report to the Seventh Session. |

WORKING PARTY 4 ON ARRANGEMENTS FOR TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS
Note by the Executive Secretary
The statement by the United States Government in GATT/CP.6/2,
for the conduct of tariff negotiations between contracting parties and
by contracting parties with governments wishing to accede to the
Agreement, has been examined by the Secretariat in the light of experience
at the Geneva, Annecy and Torquay conferences and of the discussion in
the plenary meeting of the Contracting Parties on 21 September 1951.
This note has been drawn up in the hope that it will assist the Working
Party in its discussion.
A. Negotiations with government wishing to
accede to the General Agreement
1. The Secretariat on receiving a communication from the Government
of Ruritania that it wishes to enter into negotiations with contracting
parties with a view to acceding to the Agreement would notify the
contracting parties by cable. It would be understood that on receipt of
such a communication each contracting party would be expected to advise
within 21 days whether:
(a) it had any objections to Ruritania entering into
negotiations with a view to accession,
(b) in the event of negotiations taking place, it would wish
to participate,
(c) if it wished to participate, where and when it would like
the negotiations to take place, and
(d) if it did not wish to participate, whether it would never-
theless wish to receive copies of the lists of requests
for tariff concessions,
2. If three or more contracting parties advise that they object to
arrangements being made for negotiations with Ruritania, the request
of Ruritania would be referred to the next session of the Contracting
Parties. However, a special session of the Contracting Parties would be
convened at the request of any contracting party which had advised its
desire to enter into negotiations with Ruritania; this would be held at CP/6/W/5
Page 2
the headquarters of the Secretariat, not less than one month after receipt
of the request.
3. If no such objections were raised, the Secretariat would consult
with the participating governments (i.e. Ruritania and the participating
contracting parties) to determine:
(a) the site for the negotiations, which would be.:
(i) the headquarters of the Secretariat to the
Contracting Parties, or
J,) the capital of Ruritania, or
(111) some commercial centre where the participating
governments have permanent. commercial representatives;
(b) the date on which the lists of requests should be exchanged
and the date for the exchange of the lists of offers and the
entering into negotiations.
4. The representatives of the participating governments would
constitute a Tariff Negotiations Cormmittee which would be responsible for
the administration of the negotiattions, for dealing with questions arising
in the course of negotiations and for preparing a protocol of accession.
Secretariat services for the Tariff Negotiations Committee would be provided,
by the Secretariat to the Contracting Parties. Each contracting party not
participating zn the negotiations would be entitled to be represented by
observers at meetings of the Tariff Negotiations Committee.

laid down in Article 17 of the Havana Charter as adapted for use by the
Contracting Parties at the Torquae Conference (GATT/TN.2/16, Section III).
6. The Tariff Negotiations Committee would be responsible for fixing
the closing dato for the negotiations. Copies of the final lists of
concessions would be distributed to the participating governments and to
contracting parties which had asked for the lists of requests. A period of
ten days, or such other period as the Tariff Negotiations Committee might
decide, would be allowed for participating governments to exchange comments
and to make adjustments in their schedues.
7. A draft protocol of accession, with the schedules of tariff
concessions annexed, and a draft decision under Article XYXIII relating to
the accession of Ruritania would be submitted to the next session of the
Contracting Parties for approval. However, in the event that a substantial
period would elapse between the conclusion of the negotiations and the next
session, and on the request of the participating governments, the Secretariat
would communicate these documents to all contracting parties with a request
for a vote on the decision within a reasonable period. If no objection were
received to the provisions of the protocol or of the decision, the protocol
would be opened for signature as soon as two-thirds of the contracting CP.6/W/5
Page 3
parties had notified their approval of the decision. If an objection were
received to the provisions of the protocol or of the decision, the matter
would be referred to the next accsion or, at the request of the participating
governments, to a special session of the Contracting Parties.
B. Negotiations between two or more contracting parties
1. Contracting parties wishing to enter into negotiations would notify
the Secretariat which would pass on the information to all other contracting
parties by cable. it would be understood that on receipt of such a
communication, each contracting party would be expected to advise within
21 days whether:
(a) it wished to propose concurrent negotiations with one
or other of the negotiating governments, and
(b) it wished to receive copies of the lists of requests for
tariff concessions
2. As soon as possible after submission of the notification to the
Secretariat, the participating governments would advise the place where the
negotiations were to be held, the date fixed for the exchange of requests
lists and the date for the exchange of offers and the opening of negotiations.
3. Copies of the request lists would be sent to the Secretariat for
distribution to the contracting parties which had expressed the desire to
receive them. A contracting party which considered that it had a sub-
stantial interest in an item in one of the lists and wished to participate
in the negotiations would be required to advise the Secretariat within [30]
days. (The possibility of a request list including an item of which the
contracting party making the request was not the only important supplier
must be envisaged. On such an item as rany as five or six contracting
parties right wish to participate in the negotiations).
4. Participating governments could set up a tariff negotiations
committee to be responsible for the administration of the negotiations if
doomed desirable. The Tariff Negotiations Committee could ask the
Secretariat to the Contracting Parties to supply secretariat services.
the Secretariat, in consultation with the participating governments (or
with the Tariff Negotiations Committee if appointed), would prepare a
protocol (possibly to be called "Protocol of Additional Concessions in the
Schedules of ...o . and ..,") to give formal effect to the modification of
schedules.
5. The negotiations would be conducted in accordance with the rules
laid down in Article 17 of the havana Charter as adapted for use by the

Sixth Session
WORKING PARTY 4 ON ARRANGEMENTS FOR TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS
Redraft of Proposals submitted by the Executive Secretary
A. Negotiations with a government wishing to
accede to the General Agreement
1. The Secretariat on receiving a communication from the Government
of Ruritania that it wishes to enter into negotiations with contracting
parties with a view to acceding to the Agreenent would notify the
contracting parties by cable, together with an indication to the
contracting parties with whom it was intended to enter into such
negotiations. It would be understood that on receipt of such a
communication each contracting party would be expected to advise within
30 days, or within 60 days should any contracting party so request,
whether
(a) it had any objections to Ruritania entering into
negotiations under these procedures with a view to
accession,
(b) in the event of negotiations taking place, it would
wish to participate.
2. 2. If three of more contracting parties advise that they object to
arrangements being made for negotiations with Ruritania, the request
of Ruritania would be referred to the next session of the Contracting
Parties. However, in a case of urgent necessity a special session
of the Contracting Parties could be called, in accordance with the
Rules of Procedure, at the request of any contracting party which had
advised its desire to enter into negotiations with Ruritania.
3. Unless objections were so raised by three or more contracting parties,
the Secretariat would consult with the participation governments (i.e.
Ruritania and the participating contracting parties) to determine:
(a) the site for the negotiations;
(b) the date onowhtch the lists of requests should be exchanged;
(c) the date for the exchange of the lists of offers, and
(d) the date of entering into negotiations. CP.6/W/5/Rev.1
Page 2
As far as possible in advance of the date it is proposed to enter into
negotiations, participating governments should submit 50 copies of their
request lists to the Secretariat for circulation to other contracting
parties.
4. In the exceptional case where a number of contracting parties were
involved in negotiations at a single centre, the participating
governments could set up a Tariff Negotiations Conmittee to render
assistance on questions of procedure and other matters connected with
-the conduct of the negotiations. The Secretariat, in consultation with
participating governments, would prepare the decision regarding the
accession of' Ruritania. Secretariat services for the Tariff Negotiations
Committee would be provided by the Secretariat to the Contracting Parties.
5. The negotiations would be conducted in accordancc with the rules
and Principles laid down in GATT/TIT2/16, Section III.
6. Thc draft protocol of accession, with the schedules of tariff
concessions annexed, and a draft decision under Article XXIII relating
to the accession of Ruritania would be submitted to the next session
of the Contracting Fartics for approval. However, in the event that
a substantial period would elapse between the conclusion of the
negotiations and the next session, and on the request of the participating
governments, the Secretariat would circulate a draft docision and a
protocol containinig the provisions of a model protocol adopted at the
Sixth Session (Annex A). On receipt of a favourable vote from two-
thirds of the contracting parties the protocol would be opened for
signature. If an objection were received to the provisions of the
protocol or of the decision the tatter would be referred to the next
session by, or at the request of, the participating governments to a
special session of the Contracting Parties. CP.6/W/5/Rev .1

B. Outline of procedures for the conduct of
tariff negotiations under the General
Agreement outside general negotiating
confercnces.
Introductory Note
Although there is nothing in the Gencral Agreement which prevents in-
dividual contracting parties from negotiating with each other outside the
scope of the Agreement, the Contracting Parties have considered it desirable
to set forth the general procedures for the conduct of negotiations within
the framework of the General Agreement. Since that agreementt is a multilateral
tariff agreement, it is desirable that such procedures take cognizance of the
possible interest of other contracting parties in negotiations undertaken
between only two contracting parties, and also provide rules for more compli-
cated cases which may sometires, in practice, arise.
Normally, negotiations under this headig will prove loss complicated
than those arising under Part A of this paper. In view of the successive
rounds of large-scale negotiations which have taken place since 1947, it may
be expected that further negotiations undertaken between contracting parties
in the near future will be of a limited character and unlikely therefore to
lead to extensive participation by other contracting parties.
1. Contracting parties wishing to enter into negotiations with a view
to the incorporation of the results of such negotiations into the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trad. would notify the Secretariat
which would pass on the information to all other contracting parties
by cable.
2. As far as possible in advance of the date it is proposed to enter
into negotiations, the parties originally proposing these negotiations
would advise the Secretariat of their intentions as to the date and
place of the proposed negotiations and submit 50 copies of request
lists. This information as well as the rcqucst lists would be
circulated by the Secretariat to other contracting parties.
3. A. contracting party which considered that it had a substantial
interest in the negotiations and wished to negotiate, with regard
to such interest, with one or more of the parties which originally
proposed negotiations, should (within 30 days) propose such ne-
gotiations to the government or governments concerned and, at the
sane time, notify the Secretariat. The participating governments
may invite other contracting parties which they consider to have a
substantial interest in the negotiations to participate therein.
4. If supplementary negotiations are to take place the Contracting
Farties, through the Socrctariat, should be notified and supplied
with request lists. Such supplementary negotiations should where
practicable take place at the same time and place as the negotiations
originally proposed; however, if such an arrangement is not con-
venient, other arrangerents could be made by agreement between the
governments concerned. The Secretariat should be kept informed of
such alternative arrangements. CP. 6/W/5/Rev.1
Page 4
5. The negotiations would be conducted in accordance with the relevant
rules and principles laid down in GATT/TN.2/16, section III.
6. In the exceptional case whore a number of contracting parties wore
involved in negotiations at a single centre, the participating
governrnents could set up a Tariff Negotiations Committee to render
assistance on questions of procodure and other matters connected
with the conduct of the negotiations.
7. The results of the negotiations would be put into effect as agrood
by the participating governments. Those governments would also
communicate such results to the Secretariat, which would circulate
then to all contracting parties. The appropriate documents for
formally integrating, the results into the General Agreement would be
drawn up at the following sossion of the Contracting Fartics.
Fending the entry into force of such formal documents, each
participating government would apply the results of its negotiations
as if they were contained in a schedule to the General Agreement
relating to that government, and the Contracting Parties would also

WORKING PARTY 4 ON ARRANGEMENTS FOR TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS
Redraft of Proposals submitted by the Executive Secretary
Corrigendum
A. Negotiations with a government not party to
the General Agreement
1. The Secretariat on receiving a communication from a Government not
party to the General Agreement which wishes to enter into negotiations
with contracting parties with a view to acceding to the Agreement would
notify the contracting parties by cable, together with an indication of
the contracting parties with which the requesting Government intends to
enter into such negotiations. On receipt of such a communication each
contracting party would be expected to advise within 38 days, or within
60 days should any contracting party so request, whether
(a) it had any objections to that Government entering into
negotiations under these procedures with a view to accession,
(b) in the event of negotiations taking place, it would wish to
participate.
2. If three or more contracting parties advise that they object under
paragraph 1(a), tho request would be referred to the next session of the
Contracting Parties. However, in a case of urgent necessity a special
session of the Contracting Parties could be called, in accordance with the
Rules of Procedure, at the request of any contracting party which had
advised its desire to enter into negotiations with that Government.
3. Unless objections were so raised by three or more contracting parties,
the Secretariat would consult with the participating governments (i.e. the
requesting Government and the participating contracting parties) to
determine:
(a) the site for the negotiations;
(b) the date on which the lists of requests should be exchanged;
(c) the date of entering into negotiations. CP.6/W/5/Rev .1/Corr.2
Page 2.
As far as possible in advance of the date it is proposed to enter into
negotiations, participating governments should submit 50 copies of their
request lists to the Secretariat for circulation to other contracting
parties.
4. The participating governments should set up a Tariff Negotiations
Committee to render assistance on questions of procedure and other matters
connected with the conduct of the negotiations.
5. The negotiations would be conducted in accordance with the rules and
principles laid down in GATT/TN.2/16, Section III, subject to such
modifications in these rules and principles as may hereafter be made by
the Contracting Parties.
6. [A draft protocol of accession, with the schedules of tariff concessions
annexed, and a draft decision.under Article XXXIII relating tc the
accession of the government not party to the General Agreement would be
submitted to the next session of the Contracting Parties for approval.
However, in the event that a substantial period would elapse between the
conclusion of the negotiations and the next session, and on the request
of the participating governments, the Secretariat would circulate a
protocol and a decision containing the provisions of the model protocol
and decision contained in Annex A to these procedures. On receipt of
a favourable vote on the decision from two-thirds of the contracting
parties the.protocol would be opened for signature.] CP .6/W/5/Rev .1/Corr .2
Page 3
B. Negotiations between two or more
contracting parties
Introductory Note
Although there is nothing in the General Agreement which prevents
individual contracting parties fron negotiating with each other outside
the scope of the Agreement, occasions may arise in which contracting
parties may wish to negotiate among themselves with a view to incorporating
the results of such negotiations in the Agreement. The Contracting
Parties have considered it desirable therefore to set forth the general
procedures for the conduct of such negotiations. Since the Agreement is
a multilateral tariff agreement, it is desirable that such procedures
take cognizance of the possible interest of other contracting parties
in negotiations undertaken between only two contracting parties, and
also provide rules for more complicated cases which may sometimes, in
practice, arise.
Normally, negotiations under this heading will prove less complicated
than those arising under Part A of this paper. In view of the successive
rounds of large-scale negotiations which have taken place since 1947, it
may be expected that further negotiations undertaken between contracting
parties in the near future will be of a limited character and unlikely
therefore to lead to extensive participation by other contracting parties.
1. Contracting parties wishing to enter into negotiations with a view
to the incorporation of the results of such negotiations into the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade would notify the Secretariat
which would pass on the information to all other contracting parties
by cable.
2. As far as possible in advance of the date it is proposed to enter
into negotiations, the parties originally proposing these negotiations
would advise the Secretariat of their intentions as to the date and
place of the proposed negotiations and submit 50 copies of request
lists. This information as well as the request lists would be
circulated by the Secretariat to other contracting parties.
3. A contracting party which considered that it had a substantial
interest in the negotiations and therefore wished to negotiate
with one or more of the parties which originally proposed
negotiations, should within 30 days from the day of the circulation
of the lists propose such negotiations to the government or
governments concerned and, at the same time, notify the Secretariat.
The participating governments may invite other contracting parties
which they consider to have a substantial interest in the
negotiations to participate therein. CP.6/W/5/Rev.1/Corr.2
Page 4
4. If supplementary negotiations are to take place the contracting
parties, through the Secretariat, should be notified and supplied
with request lists. Such supplementary negotiations should where
practicable take place at the same time and place as the negotiations
originally proposed; however, if such an arrangement is not
convenient, other arrangements could be made by agreement between
the governments concerned. The Secretariat should be kept informed
of such alternative arrangements.
5. The negotiations would be conducted in accordance with the relevant
riles and principles laid down in GATT/TN.2/16, Section III, subject
to such modifications in these rules and principles as may hereafter
bc made by the Contracting Parties.
6. In the exceptional case where a number of contracting parties were
involved in negotiations at a single centre, the participating
governments could set up a Tariff Negotiations Committee to render
assistance on qustions of procedure and other matters connected
with the conduct of the negotiations.
7. [The results of the negotiations would be put into effect as agreed
by the participating governments. These governments would promptly
communicate such results to the Secretariat, which would circulate
them to all contracting parties. In order to place on record with
which of the participating contracting parties the concessions in
question were originally negotiated, the participating governments
will also furnish to the Secretariat the final list of offers
exchanged. The appropriate documents for formally integrating
the results into the General Agreement would be drawn up at the
following session of the Contracting Parties. Pending the entry
into force of such formal documents, each participating government
would apply the results of its negotiations as if they were
contained in a schedule to the General Agreement relating to that
government, and the Contracting Parties would also soconsider them.] |

Draft Report on Paraprahs (b) and (c)
of the Terms of Reference
The Workinig Party was asked to recommend procedures for the preparation
of the third annual report on the discriminatory application of restrictions
and for the conduct, in March 1952 or thereafterof consultations with contracting
parties punsuant to paragraph 1(g) of Article XIV. For these purposes the following
procedures are recommended for the approval of the Contracting Parties.
(1) The Contracting Parties shall ask each government which is
taking action under paragraph 1(b) or 1(c) of Article XIV or under Annex J,
to submit to the Executive Secretary not later than 15 March 1952, a
statement describing any changes which have taken place, subsequent to the
submission of their reply to GATT/CP/89, in import control regulations or
administrative practices which affect the discriminatory application of
Article XII restrictions, on the basis of the replies to GATT/CP/89.
(2) Any contracting party still entitled to take action under the
provisions of paragraph l(c) of Article XIV or of Annex J should enter into
consultations with the Contracting Parties as required by Article XIV: l(g)
by advising the Executive Secretary not later than 15 March 1952 that it is
initiating consultations and by furnishing details of the measures involved
together with any information, in addition to that contained in its statement
referred to in paragraph (1), which would assist the Contracting Parties in
carrying out the consultations.
(3) The Executive Secretary shall inform all contracting parties and
the International Monetary Fund of the names of the contracting parties which
have entered into consultations, and shall imite the Fund to participate in
consultations with the Contrancting Parties in pursuance of the provisions of
Article XV.
(4) The framework of cooperation between the Contracting Parties and
the International Monetary Fund is provided in article XV of the General
Agreement. In view of the provisions of Articles XI and XV of the General
Agreement, the Contracting Parties consider that a consultation instituted
pursuant to Article XIV: 1(g) could be concluded more effectively at the
Seventh Session if, before the end of that Session, the Fund made available
to the Contracting Parties the results of its consultations with the country
concerned pursuant to Article XIV of its Articles of Agreerient. Accordingly, GATT/CP.6/W/16/Rev.2
Page 2
the Executive Secretary shall, before Issuing the provisional agenda
for thc Seventh Session, consult with the Fund and the governments
concerned as to the progress of the consultations of those governments
with the Fund, pursuant to article XIV of the Fund Agreement, and shall
inform the contracting parties thereof when the provisional agenda is
distributed. This information .supplied to the contracting parties
will assist then in dotermining at the Seventh Session, the order in
which to proceed to conclude, in 1952, the consultations instituted
pursuant to Article XIV: 1(g).
(5) The Executive Secrctary shall examine the statements
receivedd under paragraph (1) and prepare material to assist the
Contracting Parties in their consultations and in their preparation
of the third annual report on the discriminatory application of import
restrictions, this' material to be distributed, if possible, prior to
the opening of the Seventh Session. |

On page 14, substitute the following text for the section concerning
"Recent Changes" in France:
"Recent Changes
Since the entry into force of the liberalisation me asures taken
under OEEC, 75% of the imports originating in countries parties to the
Organization have been free from restriction, Besides, the widest
facilities have been given to the issue of licences for the purchase
of products essential to the economy and in many cases licences are
issued automatically.
The result of these various measures has been that in the course
of the three years 1948-1950 the proportion of free or "semi-free"
imports to imports still subject to restrictions has continued to in-
crease to a considerable extent." |

Data on Balances of Payments and Monetary Reserves
for inclusion in Part II of the Draft Report
It has been proposed in the draft report (GATT/CP.6/12) that Part II will
contain estimates of the balance of payments and monetary reserves of each of the
countries applying restrictions under Article XII . The attached tables of estimates
have been prepared by reference to the publications of the International Monetary
Fund.
1, Except where otherwise specified the tables showing the overall
balance of payments for each country, as well as those showing regional
analyses of international transactions, have been taken from the Balance of
Payments Yearbook, Volume 3, of the Fund. The tables 6n "Gold and Foreign
Assets" are based on the country tables in the August 1951 issue of Inter-
national. Financial Statistics.
2. Certain explanatory footnotes which accompany the data in these publica-
tions have been omitted for the sake of brevity.
3. Balance-of-payments figures for 1950 are preliminary and are not
necessarily comparable with those for earlier years.

AUSTRALIA
Legal basis for restrictions
The restriction of imports on balance-of-payments grounds is made
effective through the Customs (Import Licensing). Regulations.
Methods of restriction
Imports are permitted without restriction as to quantity and value
except in the case of imports from hard-currency areas. Applications for
licences for goods originating in hard currency areas are dealt with on a
case-by-case basis. In general the issue of such licenses is restricted
to essential commodities not available in adequate quantities from "easy-
currency" sources of supply, the general objective being to limit the
expenditure of hard currency to amounts pre-determined by annual planning.
Hard-currency areas comprises the dollar area, Japan and Iran.
Recent changes
During 1950 exemption from the licensing requirement, which had applied
to goods originating in the United Kingdom only, was extended to apply to
goods originating in all countries of the sterling area, and later in many
other countries classified as "easy-currency" countries. There has recently
been a substantial increase in the value of import licences granted for
several classes of dollar goods because of the increased requirements of
defence equipment and stockpiling, the reduced availability of essential
goods from non-dollar sources of supply and the higher price of dollar
imports. CP.6/W/18
Page 5
BRAZIL
Legal basis for restrictions
Import restrictions are applied under Law No. 842 of 4 October 1949.
Methods of restriction
All imports are subject to licence. No quota limitation is applied to
the use of licenses covering the import of goods defined as being in critical
short supply or absolutely essential. Other products are subject to the
following limitations:
(a) exchange allocations - in the case of imports payable in hard currencies;
(b) import quotas, established ordinarily in value and specified in
commercial agreements with soft-currency areas.
Imports from hard-currency areas are based on a semi-annual exchange
budget of estimated receipts and quotas allocated to each product - in
proportion to its percentage volume of the trade of the last three years,
Permits for non-essentials are granted preferably for importation
from areas with non-convertible currencies or within the quotas established
in trade agreements. Licences are issued on these quotas to each importer
in proportion to his average imports in 1946-1949.
Discrimination is involved in the distinction between hard- and soft-
currency areas and is also inherent in the implementation of the quota
undertaking in trade agreements.
Specia measures to alleviate injury
Small quantities of luxury goods are admitted under the provisions of
trade agreement.
Recent changes
During the second half of 1950 there was a substantial relaxation of
controls. Import quotas wore eliminated in the case of certain products
regarded as essential and, for certain loss essential products, licences were
granted in advance on future quotas. Restrictions were relaxed on imports
from both hard- and soft- currency areas. CP.6/W/18:
Page 6 CEYLON
Legal basis for restrictions
The requisite powers are vested in the Government by the Defence
(Control of Imports) Regulations, which have the force of law by virtue
of the Import and Export Control (Continuation) Act, No. 27 of 1950.
Methods of restriction
Four Open General Licences are in force, which enable wide ranges
of goods to be imported without individual import licences:
(a) from any source excluding dollar sources and Japan,
(b) from dollar sources and Japan,
(c) from all sources except Australia, and
(d) from all sources except dollar sources.
Two lists are provided to-indicate the goods which are under licence
from all areas and which are under licence from dollar sources and Japan.
Individual licences are issued by the Controller of Imports.
Recent changes
Substantial relaxation has been effected as from July 3, 1951 through
the issue of the four new Open General Licences referred to above. t. J**f ;/18

CHILE
Legal basis for restrictions
The system of quantitative restrictions falls within the framework of
an annual foreign exchange budget prepared by the authority entrusted with
the supervision of the balance of payments, the National Foreign Trade council,
Methods of restriction
An exchange budget which is published in November for the following year
contains an estimate of the exchange resources which the country can dispose
of for the year, and provides for distribution of the exchange among imports,
debt services and other obligations. In conjunction with the exchange
budget a list of non-essentials is published each year the import of which is
prohibited. Apart from imports by the major mining companies which are paid
for with retained exchange and which are generally not subject to licenses
goods are divided into four major categories for the purpose of import control,
namely:-
(a) Goods that may be freely imported without permit, with exchange
obtained at free market rate,
(b) Goods that may be imported without limitation as to quantity,
with exchange at a preferential rate,
(c) Goods which may be imported with exchange obtained at the free
market rate, within a limited quantity, and
(d) Goods which may be imported at a preferential rate within a
limited quantity.
The exchange budget indicates separately for each item the corresponding
quota in U.S. dollars and in "other currencies".
Recant changes
As indicated above, the whole system is subject to revision every year.
substantial intensification of the restrictions took place in 1949. In
September 1950 the exchange budget was adjusted mainly to take into account
the improvement in export receipts. The exchange est.. ate for 1951 was
published in December 1950, which gives receipts and expenditure in 1951 at
$332 million as compared with $267 million in 1950. CP.6/W/18

CZECHOSLOVAKIA
Legal basis for restrictions
The law of October 1948, incorporating the Economic Five-Year Plan,
subjects the aims of the national economy and the direction of its foreign
trade to the achievement of the Plan.
Methods of restriction
Foreign trade is carried on by monopoly trading companies representing
all sectors of trade and industry, These companies are state-owned and are
organized as independent limited companies. On the basis of the targets
imposed by the Economic Plan the companies draw up their programmes of
trading activities for an annual period or a part thereof both regarding
imports and exports.
In drawing up the budget of the overall balance of payments for the
annual period or a part thereof account is taken of the budgeted trade
balance as well as non-commercial incomes and expenditures estimated for
the same period.
Recent changes
Nationalisation of foreign trade was completed in 1949. CP.6/W/18.
Page 9
DENMARK
Legal basis for restrictions
Authorisation to restrict imports for safeguarding the balance of
payments has been in force since 1932.
Methods of restriction
The level of imports subject to restriction is based on a licensing
plan providing a certain relation between finished consumer goods, raw
materials, semi-manufactures and capital goods. Unrestricted imports on
private account from OEEC countries have reached 62% (basis: 1948 statistics)
while the unrestricted imports from all foreign countries together are
estimated in 1951 to be 56% of the 1948 total.
Unrestricted imports
(a) A global free list (amounting to about 40 million kroner in 1950)
of raw materials, semi-manufactures, certain feeding stuffs and
literature; these imports require no licence and may be made in
any country irrespective of the currency in which payment is made;
(b) A regional free list of commodities applied to the EPU area, and
requiring payments to be made in accordance with the general
payments agreement concluded between Denmark and the country of
supply;
(c) Open general licenses for certain commodities from the EPU area
and subject to the importer making a deposit with a bank. The
application of this system towards the EPU area is being extended
since it better enables the Authorities to keep a check on the
countries' foreign exchange position vis-à-vis that area.
Restricted imports, requiring licenses:
(a) quotas under bilateral agreements;
(b) regional licenses affecting commodity groups imported from
certain regions, e.g., the EMU area;
(c) licences under trade agreements not containing quotas but only
frameworks for the total volume of trade including "preference lists"; CP .6/W/18
Page 10 DENMARK (Continued)
(d) token imports: although the system, as such, is not applied,
most bilateral agreements make provision for trade in less
essential, but traditional, goods; and
(e) licenses for imports from countries with which no trade
agreement exists such as the dollar area.
Five to ten per cent of all licenses available for issue are reserved
for new importers or for other special purposes.
Transfer of licenses is permissible If the amounts involved are so
small that their separate realization would be uneconomical; in such a
case a small importer may transfer his licence to and buy the goods needed,
from a larger importer.
State-trading
Imports of coarse grains and feeding stuffs are done by "The Central
Agency for the Purchase of Grain and Feeding Stuffs". The agency is
managed by representatives of grain and feeding stuff importers and of
the authorities and has a monopoly to import these goods. CP.6/W/18
Page 11
FINLAND
Legal basis for restrictions
A general prohibition of imports, except under authorisation of the
"Board of Licences", since late 1939.
Methods of restriction
Bilateral agreements have been concluded with the country's principal
trading partners with a view to balancing trade accounts individually and
collectively. Within bilateral quotas licenses are issued freely subject
to prices and quality of the goods or others purely commercial, considerations.
Although these agreements are important instruments for balancing the
accounts of-foreign trade, the issue of licences is not, in principle,
dependent upon the existence of such agreements. In fact, a considerable
part of Firland's trade is carried on by ad hoc licenses, the final decision
depending on the prevailing balance of accounts with the exporting country.
Token quantities of traditional but less essential imports, are
usually provided for in the "miscellaneous" quotas of bilateral agreements.
State-trading
Up to the beginning of 1950 the Government imported essential goods in
short supply such as grains, meat, sugar, edible and industrial fats and
fertilisers.
Although this practice is now discontinued, some privileged agencies
(the Alcohol Company, the Sulphuric and Superphosphate Factories and the
State Grain Board) have retained exclusive import rights in their respective
fields. CP , 6/A/18
Page 12
FRANCE
Legal basis for restrictions
General prohibition of imports, except under prior authorizations or other
provisions; the issue of licenses is governed by a decree of 13 July 1949 (Journal
officiel of 14 July 1949).
Methods of restriction
Quotas allotted by licence on the basis:
either of administrative decisions in the case of products from countries
of origin with which France has no payments agreements;
or of special agreements or negotiations in respect of products from
countries of origin with which France has concluded a scheduled trade
agreement,
Quotas so fixed are neither limitative nor final, They may be increased
or reduced by special decisions taken in the light of foreign exchange
availabilities,
State-trading
The restrictions also apply to imports by State monopolies and privileged
enterprises. The products thus imported are mainly industrial raw materials
(solid fuels, petroleum products, electric power), certain agricultural products
(grains, grain flours, tobacco, oil seeds, liquid oils, butter chee), and
various finished products.
In 1950, State-trading accounted for approximately 24 per cent of all
imports,
Special measures for alleviating injury
Bilateral trade agreements usually include a "miscellaneous" item under
which imports of products not specified in the schedule can be classified,
Exporters are also permitted to retain 10 to 15 per cent of the receipts from
their exports and to use part of the foreign currency so obtained for payment
of non-prohibited imports.
Compensation arrangements and barter are permitted only when they offer the
sole means of carrying on international trade.
Overseas territories
The same licensingb system is in force. Some bilateral agreements concluded
by the metropolitan Government provide for special quotas for such territories.
In addition, the OEEC liberalization measures have been largely extended to the
territories of the French Union, CP.6/W/18
Page 13
FRANCE (continued)
Recent changes
During the years 1948, 1949 and 1950 liberalization measures have been
adopted under OEEC, affecting roughly 14 per cent in value of total imports
In addition, the widestfacilities have been given in the matter of licences
for purchases of products essential to the national economy, and in some cases
licences are issued automatically.
It may thus be estimated that the rates of free or "semi-free" imports
to total imports subject to restriction has increased very substantially. CP.6/W/18

FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
Legal basis for restrictions
A general prohibition of imports has been in force since 1945. The
exclusive Military Government import monopoly exercised by JEIA in the
post-war period was abolished in February 1949 and since then foreign
imports have again been carried on by German traders.
Methods of restriction
Licenses are required for all commercial imports and are issued by the
Central Banks of the "ander".
Imports from EPU countries are credited for the time being under the
special arrangements described below and "Recent changes".
Licenses for imports from other areas are, generally speaking issued
on the basis of trade agreements concluded with the respective country or,
in the case of countries with which no trade agreement exists, according
to previous or expected earnings of the foreign currencies of these countries.
A certain amount of foreign exchange is kept in reserve for what in
practice amounts to a system of "token imports".
Barter and compensation deals are, at present, permissible only in
exceptional circumstances. They are not allowed in the case of any OEEC
country, and in the ease of countries with which the Federal Government of
Germany has concluded a commercial agreement only if the respective agreement
makes specific provision for barter and compensation dealings.
An exclusive import privilege for the State is established by law with
regard to spirits, "inflammables" and products of potassium (salts, compounds
and others), although in practice, no trade is done at present with regard
to the products of potassium and very little with regard to "inflammables"
and spirits. The Government is also entitled to intervene in the
importation of various food and feeding stuffs whenever necessary to ensure
equitable distribution and adequate stocks* CP.6/W/18
Page 15
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY (Contd.)
Social measures to alleviate injury
Certain amounts of foreign exchange, called "Operational Foreign
Exchange Funds", permit manufacturers to use a much simplified procedure
for obtaining licenses for raw materials and semi-finished products if
these are intended for the production of goods for export within a certain
time. Under this scheme, 4 per cent. of export proceeds remain at the
disposal of exporters.
Recent changes
On account of balance-of-payments difficulties liberalization of
trade measures with OEEC countries had to be suspended in February of
this year. On the basis of a decision of the OEEC Council of June 15th,
1951, concerning imports into Germany after June 1st, 1951, a monthly
ceiling to imports from the EPU area has been fixed and at present imports
are made in accordance with bilateral agreements with these countries on
the basis of recommendations by the Organisation. Negotiations with a
view to reintroducing liberalisation measures are, at present, in progress. CP.6/W/18
Page 16
GREECE
Legal basis for restrictions
Import control has been in force since 1932, with a temporary interruption
in 1946,
Methods of restriction
The trade liberalization measures adopted under OEEC have recently been
suspended but the number of trade agreements is being increased. Imports are
programmed on a six monthly basis according to currency area and effected if
possible through bilateral agreements, Imports are sub-divided into 8 categories
of products, each requiring sightly different procedures for obtaining import
licenses,
Licences are normally distributed on the basis of pre- and post-war
reference periods and further whenever valid reasons of priority can be presented
by importers, licenses are issued by the Bank of Greece or its delegated agencies.
For a certain number of goods licenses are, at present, being granted auto-
matically and in full, namely for some seeds and yeast, pitch, fluxes for
welding, dyeing extracts, kerosene, some specified products of steel, copper,
tin and zinc, hard fibres, glass bottles needed for exporting wine, and some
mechanical equipment,
Private barter is allowed when no extra spending of foreign exchange is
involved.
State-trading
Public services and institutions are allocated separately amounts of foreign
exchange which they need.
Import of matches, playing cards, cigarette paper, stamp paper, quinine,
saccharine; narcotics, kerosene, has been traditionally a monopoly of the State,
In addition, the following goods are for the time being imported solely
by the State or through institutions authorized by the Government:
(a) directly by the State: - wheat, dried skim milk, tea, coarse grains,
soya flour
(b) through authorized institutions, main items: - sugar, frozen meat
cheese, canned fish, cod fish, molasses, rice, pulses, fertilizers
agricultural pesticides and insecticides, some pharmaceuticals, drugs
or medical supplies for public health program, solid fuels and some
items of liquid fuels, sulphur and radio transmitting equipment and
parts, CP.6/W/18

INDIA
Legal basis for restrictions
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry is authorised to issue from
time to time Public Notices defining the policy, rules and procedure for
import licensing purposes.
Methods of restriction
Imports arc regulated in accordance with a long-term licensing scheme
covering a.substantial range of imports, particularly industrial raw
materials, machinery and essential consumer goods.
For the pupose of licensing imports; countries are classified as
follows:
1. Dollar area: United States and its dependencies, Canada and
other American account countries,
2. Other hard-currency area: Japan.
3. Soft-currency area: all other countries except South Africa.
4. Pakistan.
5. South Africa,
Five categories of licence are issued to importers:
(a) General licences valid for the import of specified goods from
any country except South Africa.
(b) Licences for imports from Japan.
(c) Soft-currency licences for imports from any country in the
soft-currency area.
(d) Specified liccnccs valid only for a specified country, issued
generally in accordance with a bilateral trade agreement for
goods not admissible from the rest of the licensing area in
which a country in question is included.
(e) In addition, an open general licence has been issued for certain
goods on the basis of their essentiality and short domestic supply.
State-trading
The import of food-grains is on Government account, but the purpose
of this is not to restrict imports. CP .6/W/18

INDIA (Contd.)
Special Measures to alleviate injury
Some provision has been made for the importation of token quantities
of non-essential goods. The adoption of the system of "General" licences
and the now Open General Liccnce has to a large extent reduced the
discriminatory character of licensing policy in respect of a number of items
Recent changes
Substantially larger foriegn exchange allocations for various essentials
have boon provided for imports since 1950 as compared with the very restricted
import programmes for previous licensing periods. In 1950, deterioration
of the general supply position as a result of the international situation
also called for certain liberal changes in the import policy. Moreover,
the improvement in gold and dollar resources of the sterling area has
made possible the adoption of the considerably more liberal policy towards
imports from the dollar and hard currency areas.
Sweden, Switzerland, Western Germany, and Belgium and Portugal and
their dependencies, which were formerly regarded as hard currency countries,
are now included in the soft-currency area. CP.6/W/18
Page 19
ITALY
Legal basis for restrictions
The Government is authorized under a law of 1926 and regulations adopted
in 1935 to restrict imports when necessary,
Methods of restriction
75.8 per cent of private imports from OEEC countries and overseas terri-
tories (basis: 1948 statistics) have been freed; this percentage represents
36 per cent of total 1950 imports. There is also a schedule of products the
import of which from sterling area countries is free; 1950 imports of such
products represented 10 per cent of total 1950 imports,
For other imports, i,e. imports subject to quota, in most cases a licence
is required. Application for a licence must be made to the Ministry of Foreign
Trade which, if it agrees to the application, requests the Ministry of Finance
to issue the licence. For other categories of products, permits are granted
automatically by the customs authorities.
In some cases global quotas may be fixed in advance; this applies mainly
to imports of certain agricultural products and raw materials
In the case of other imports subject to restriction, bilateral trade
agreements also provide for the allotment of shares in quotas to other
countries.
As regards imports from countries with which no bilateral agreements have
been concluded, every application for a licence is considered on its merits.
Barter and compensation arrangements are encouraged in all cases where
there are no contractual arrangements or where an unfavourable rate of exchange
would normally restrict or prevent trade.
In the granting of licenses, due account is taken of the guarantees offered
by the importer and of his imports during previous periods,
State-trading
The State has a monopoly of imports of tobacco, wheat, bananas, quinine,
phosphorus and phosphorus sulphide, matches and cigarette lighters, The
Government may, where it is in the public interest, import in bulk as it has CP.6/W/18
Page 20
ITALY (continued)
done in the case of certain raw materials such as tin, vegetable oils and
various mineral products. State imports for the three years 1948, 1949 and
1950 represented 23, 13 and 7 per.cent respectively of total imports, State
imports from OEEC countries represent a still smaller proportion of the total
trade with these countries.
Recent changes
.part from the reduction in State-trading and a further liberalization of
trade with OEEC countries, bilateral import quotas are fixed as generously as
possible so as to minimise their restrictive effect. CP . 6/W/18 Page 21
NETHERLANDS
Legal basis for restrictions
A Royal Decree, introduced in 1945, provides for general prohibition
of imports and exports except under licence issued by the Central Import
and Export Service.
Methods of restriction
60% of imports on private account from OEEC countries has been
liberalised (basis: 1948 statistics) while 90% of imports from the other
partners of the Benelux Customs Union are free from restriction.
For the restricted part of trade (i.e. with most European and some
non-European countries) bilateral agreements exist; the shares of imports
from other countries are allocated depending on the availability of the
currency required.
Imports from the dollar area are programmed and consist only of goods
not available elsewhere at the required quality and price; in order to
stimulate trade with that area, exporters to the United States and Canada
may retain 10 of the proceeds of their exports, These they may spend
on the purchase of any goods they may wish. Trade with Latin American
and Eastern European countries, when transacted in the currencies of those
countries, is carried on on the basis of strict bilateral equilibrium so
that its volume is limited.
State-trading
State-trading, introduced since 1930 for stabilising prices of farm
products is still in force for grains and fodder, coffee, seeds, oils and
fats.
Overseas territories
Surinam: no special trade agreements exist for this territory, but
Surinam is participating in trade agreements concluded by the Netherlands;
all imports are licenced and goods imported on the basis of directives
determined by the Government; no foreign payments can be made except
under a permit from the Foreign Exchange Control Board; the system of
fixing quotas for imports from hard-currency areas has been abolished since
January 1st, 1951.
The Netherlands Antilles: no restrictions.
Recent changes
Regarding transactions for which licenses are required, the aim is to
arrange for a level of imports (and exports) under bilateral agreements,
sufficiently large to satisfy the needs of the national economy so that, in
many instances, imports of these products are free for all practical purposes;
imports by government agencies of essential goods needed for agriculture and
personal consumption have been reduced since 1949. The more liberal import
practice adopted whenever possible has rendered it unnecessary to maintain a
system of token imports for certain products. CP .6/W/18
Page 22
NEW ZEALAND
Legal basis for restrictions
The Import Control Regulations, l938, provide that the import into New
Zealand of any goods is prohibited except pursuant to a licence or an exemption
granted by the Minister of Customs, Minor exceptions are provided by Regu-
lations in respect of Government imports and of certain classes of goods, e.g.
passengers' effects, small gifts, etc. More general exemptions have been
granted by the Minister from time to time so that at present the effect of the
regulations is limited to a relatively small number of goods from "non-
scheduled" (soft currency) countries and to imports from "hard" currency areas,
Methods of restriction
Control is effected through import licenses without the fixing of quotas,
when a licence is necessary to import goods from a "non-scheduled" country
such a licence when granted can be used for imports from any "non-scheduled"
country, Every effort is being made to reduce the number of items still subject
to import licence when imported from "non-scheduled" countries and the number
of such items is continually decreasing.
Applications relating to imports from scheduled countries are considered
individually, having particular regard to essentiality and the extent to which
supplies are available from other currency areas. Licences granted in respect
of imports from a hard-currency country are valid for that particular country
only.
Basic allocations are fixed wherever possible to provide importers with
an indication of the extent to which they may obtain licences for the importation
of particular goods. These are shown as a percentage of the amount for which
licences were granted to a particular importer for imports of similar goods
from the "non-scheduled" countries in the basic period, which is generally the
previous year. Applications by importers who obtained no licences in the basic
period, or who desire licences for amounts in excess of their basic allocation,
are considered on their merits, as are applications respecting items for which
basic allocations are not established. Basic allocations, where fixed, are
available for imports from any "non-scheduled" country, CP .6/W/18
Page 23
NEW ZEALAND (Continued)
State-trading
Imports through state-trading operations for other than governmental use
are confined to a few commodities, including principally wheat and fresh
fruits. These are normally obtainable from "non-scheduled" countries but the
actual source of supply is determined by such considerations as currency and
shipping. All imports of cement are for the time being arranged through a
special organization under Government sponsorship,
Special methods of alleviating injury
Licenses in respect of certain goods are granted for token imports from
the United Kingdom,
Recent changes
Since 1948 there has been a general relaxation of import restrictions
regarding imports from all "non-scheduled" countries and the removal of any
differentiation in treatment of imports from these countries. Since the
beginning of 1951 increased allocations of hard currencies have been provided
for certain classes of goods and licences are being granted for certain
other goods previously excluded. CP.6/W/18 Page 24
NORWAY
Legal Basis for restrictions
A general prohibition of imports by law of December 1946, except.
under licence issued by the Ministry of Commerce. For imports of
precious metals and transfers of payments not connected with the exchange
of goods (e.g. capital, interest freight, ship repairs, travel expenses'
etc.) special permits are issued by the Central Bank.
Methods of restriction
Trade on private account with the OEEC area has been freed to 65%.
(May 1951) on the basis of 1948 statistics,
About 50% of the commodities on the . "free lists" are admi.:';.ed upon
the presentation of an "import and exchange declaration" (by the
importer) in the case of goods which offer no difficulties to the customs
authorities from an administrative point of view, and the other half
against import and exchange licence issued automatically by the Ministry
of Commerce.
In 1951 the global quotas amount to about 14% of the total import
and include estimated imports from the dollar- and other hard-currency
countries over and above bilaterally agreed import quotas. Bilateral
arrangements form the bulk of the restricted part of trade; they are en-
tered into whenever conditions of price, quality and supply make it
desirable.
Internal distribution of licenses to importers is based on the general
reference period 1937/38/39 modified for some commodities by 1946 and 1947,
while a certain amount is reserved for importers not entitled to a quota on
this basis; In the last resort the Ministry of Commerce decides on individual
applications. The issue of the licence guarantees to the importer the
necessary foreign exchange,
Compensation and barter agreements are permissible whenever trade
along more usual lines is excluded,
State-trading
Imports on Government account consist of grains, wine, coffee, sugar
syrup, dried fruit, coal and coke,

PAKISTAN
The Government of Pakistan derives authority to prohibit, restrict
or otherwise control import of goods into Pakistan under the Imports and Exports
(Control) Act, 1950. Notifications are issued under the Act by the Ministry
of Commerce from time to time determining the nature and extent of restric-
tions.
Methods of restriction
There is in force an.Open General Licence which grants general per-
mission to any person or firm resident, or having a place of business, in
Pakistan to import without restriction, any goods specified against the currency
areas shown in the Open General Licence. About seventy per cent of the total
imports by value consist of goods imported under the Open General Licence,
For import of goods not covered by the Open General Licence, specific
licences are issued to importers subject to monetary ceiling fixed on the
basis of foreign exchange earnings from "Dollar" and "Non-Dollar" areas.
Single country licensing is resorted to only when required by bilateral trade
agreements,
State-trading
The Government of Pakistan imports some of its own requirements on
Government account. These imports are not subject to licensing rules. The
only main item imported exclusively on Government accounts outside the
Government's own requirements is sugar. It is imported on Government account
to facilitate rationing operations and control of internal movement and
distribution.
Recent changes
The successive Open General Licences have permitted import without
restriction of a wider range of goods from time to time. During the years
1950 and 1951 the scope of the "Non-Dollar" area Open General Licence was
extended to cover Switzerland and India. The current Open General Licence
XIII covers machinery, tools and workshop equipment and chemicals from all
countries, and most of the industrial raw materials, medicines iron and
steel and some consumer goods etc. from the "Non-Dollar" area. The biggest
item of import, namely, cotton piecegoods of c.i.f value not exceeding
rupee one and annas eight (45 cents) per yard has been placed on the Open
General Licence from the "Non-Dollar" area. CP.6/W/18
Page 26
Legal basis for restrictions
Republic Act No. 650 (an Act to Regulate Imports and for other
Purposes) provides that, with the exception of certain specified cases, no
commodity may be imported without an import license issued in accordance
therewith. The government is authorized to issue rules and regulations for
its enforcement, and to formulate policies regarding quota allocations and
the issue of import licences.
Methods of restriction
Commodities are divided into two categories for the purpose of import
control, namely "decontrolled comodities" and "controlled commodities".
The importation of "controlled commodities" is subject to quota allocations
expressed as "percentage cuts" computed on the basis of the similar imports
in a basic period, which is the calendar year 1949. The import of
"decontrolled commodities", though requiring a licence, is generally per-
mitted without any limitation as to quantity or value,
The restrictions are non-discriminatory and the quotas are therefore
allocated on a global basis without reference to countries of origin.
Trade with Japan has been arranged on a barter basis by trade and/or
payments agreements entered into between the Philippines and the SCAP.
.The system of import controls was established by law in December 1948,
the purpose being to regulate the import of non-essential and luxury articles.
Cuts ranging from 20% to 95% were enforced based on imports of these commo-
dities in a previous twelve-month period (July 1947 to June 1948), At the
end of 1949 the basic period was changed to 1948 and an import Control
Board was created. A new law was passed in May 1950 providing for percen-
tage cuts up to 90% for four categories of goods based on the average of
the c.i.f. value of the imports for the years 1946-1948. The present Import
Control Law (Act No. 650), was enacted in June 1951, and came into effect
on July 1, 1951. CP.6/W/18

SOUTHERN RHODESIA.
Legal basis for restrictions
The Import Control Regulations, 1947, placed upon a "specified list"
a number of countries from which imports would be allowed only under permit.
The "specified list" has been modified from time to time by the addition or
deletion of countries, but in general it has always included countries in the
dollar area.
Methods of restriction
Permits, which are required for imports from the countries which have
been placed on the "specified list", are issued under authority of the Minister
of Trade and Industrial Development.
Currency quotas are determined with regard to essentiality of the goods
to be imported and to their availability from sources not subject to control.
Allocations of currency are made to the various Chambers of Commerce and Cham-
bers of Industries, to be distributed by them amongst their individual members.
In the case of imports from the dollar area, a permit issued against a quota
can be used for any of the countries in that area. Allocations made in
respect of imports from countries other than those in the dollar area are made
in the currency of the particular country concerned.
A list of prohibited goods was issued to serve as a guide, rather than
as a schedule of prohibitions requiring rigid adherence. This has, however,
been supplemented by a list of "permissibles"; and importers who have received
quotas are entitled to purchase any goods in this list, against their
allocations.
Special measures to alleviate injury
Application for licences regarding goods on the "prohibited" list may
be considered when warranted by special circumstances.
The establishment of industries to take advantage of the incidental
protective effect of import restrictions applied by Southern Rhodesia and
its neighbouring territories has been actively discouraged.
Recent changes
The permit system, which originally affected only certain countries in
the Western Hemisphere, was extended to cover products from several non-
dollar countries by reason of balance-of-payments difficulties between the
sterling area and the countries concerned. Control was, however, removed
during 1950 from imports from most of these countries, as soon as the position
of the sterling area in relation to them improved.
With the improvement in the central reserves of the sterling area certain
commodities previously on the prohibited list have been placed on the list
of permitted imports from the dollar area. CP.6/W/18
Page 28\
Legal basis for restrictions
General prohibition of imports and compulsory licensing since March
1947, for all geoods other than those included in a "free list".
Methods of restriction
Seventy-five per cent. of trade on private account with OEEC countries
(basis: 1948 statistics) has been liberalized, and cences are granted
automatically. The outer Starling ' > , Finland and Indonesia are granted
the same rights for certain groups of commodities. The existing global quotas
are applicable to the OEEC countries, the outer Sterling Area and Indonesia.
Within these quotas licences are issued freely.
Trade with Spain and Eastern Germany is held in strict equilibrium
and arranged on a barter basis.
Licences for all other imports axe either allotted in bilateral quotas
or, when no bilateral agreements exist (such as with dollar area countries)
according to the limits set by the import plan and current availabilities.
Although restriction was considered necessary it has been the intention
to preserve the traditional import pattern. To this end importers have been
left a wide measure of choice of product within the amounts of foreign
currency allocated to the various branches of trade while the most recent
basic'periods of reference practicable are always chosen.
State-trading
The import of a considerable number of agricultural products is
contralised, such as sugar, grains, vegetable oils and fats, fresh and frozen
meat and pork, egas, tobacco, wines and spirits.
To counteract the protective effect of restrictions, a certain part of
bilateraI quotas is reserved for new enterprises, while the range of commodities
included in bilateral or global quotas is extended as much as possible in that
no fixed amounts for the import of specified goods is shown, while a unilateral
increase in certain imports may be decided upon wherever uneconomical domestic
production of substitutes threatens to be established. CP.6/W/18
Page 29
TURKEY
Legal basis for restrictions
The present licensing system is operated under Decrees Nos. 3/11704
and 3/11090 of August 10 and September 30 1950 respectively. Imports are
subject to licence from all countries except for the 60% of imports (on
the basis of 1948 statistics) from member countries of the OEEC which have
been freed under the liberalisation scheme.
Methods of restriction
For the purpose of import control products are grouped in four lists,
drawn up according to their essentiality to the economy, Licences as well
as the required foreign exchange are provided by the Central Bank according
to the allocations made by the Ministry of Commerce and Economy for each
tariff item, without the fixing of quotas.
If the allocation is not sufficient to cover all the applications for
licences in respect of a given tariff item, the sum so allocated is divided
among the applicants according to a scheme.
A limited-number of goods of secondary importance is included in a
further list for the import of which no foreign exchange is allocated but
which may be imported against foreign exchange obtained by the export of
certain goods of secondary importance.
Import licenses for products from the dollar area are granted in genera
al when such products cannot be obtained from countries outside the dollar
area.
State-trading
Import of spirituous beverages, quinine and its derivatives, matches,
sugar, tea, tobacco, inflammable substances and playing cards is a state
monopoly. Purchases are made by state organizations on the basis of commer-
cial considerations without any discrimination: as between the supplying
countries. Import of these products is also subject to the licensing system.
Recent-changes
Prior to August-September 1950 the licensing system was applied to all
imports of whatever origin. Under the decree proclaimed at that time 60%
of the imports from member countries of the OEEC were free from the
licensing requirements. CP.6/W/18
Page 30
UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA
Legal basis for restrictions
Import restriction was introduced in 1948 by decision of the Government
pursuant to powers endowed upon it by legislation.
Methods of restriction
For the purpose of the issue of import permits the country's imports
are divided into eight major groups of commodities. The country's total
import requirements falling within the first four groups, namely (i) pharma-
ceutical products, (ii) certain essential foodstuffs cerealss, tea and coffee),
(iii) petrol and oil, and (iv) goods on the "free list", are estimated and
the necessary foreign exchange is provided accordingly or a global import
quota is established. Global import quotas are established also for the
other four groups, i.e. (v) government stores, (vi) raw materials
consumable stores and maintenance spares, (vii) capital equipment for
replacement purposes or for approved industrial expansion, and (viii) consumer
goods other than those appearing on the prohibited list.
The control is exercised by the issue of two kinds of permits for goods
not included in the prohibited lists
(a)"General" permits valid for imports from any country are issued..up
to an amount equivalent to (i) South Africa's total current external
income, i.e. the total of the current gold output available for sale
abroad, plus the net current external earnings after provision for
external invisible payments has been made, and (ii) twice the
amount of available untied capital receipts from hard-currency
countries.
(b) "Restricted permits, which are available for imports from soft-
currency countries only, are issued to the extent necessary to
supplement sportss under "general" permits,
"General" permits are issued for all classes of permissible imports,
but with due regard to the relative essentiality and availability of
particular classes of commodities and the total amount of foreign exchange
against which such "general" permits may be issued during any particular
licensing period. In addition "restricted" permits are issued to supplement
the country's imports under "general" permits. CP.6/W/18
Page 31
UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA (Contd.)
Soft-currency countries are defined for the purpose of the restrictions
as all countries other than the United States of America, Canada, and the
American account countries.
Special measures to alleviate injury
Importers of consumer goods are allowed to convert at fixed rates
their consumer-goods permits (both "general" and "restricted" permits) into
permits which may be used for the importation of luxury and non-essential
goods on the prohibited list.
Recent changes
When the restrictions were first introduced in 1948, the importation
from all countries of certain goods of a luxury and non-essential character,
or goods of which the South African production is sufficient to meet the
country's own requirements was prohibited except under special permit Later
under a revised system of control of imports a distinction was drawn between
sterling and non-sterling sources of supply, and permits were issued only
for three categories of goods, namely capital equipment, spare parts and raw
materials for industry; consumer goods were not permitted to be imported
except in special circumstances. As from the beginning of 1950 the control
has been based on a distinction between hard and soft currency countries, and
restrictions have been successively relaxed. Since then limited amounts of
soft currency are being allocated for the importation of general consumer
goods not on the prohibited list and importers are authorised to convert
part of their restricted permits into universal permits at a fixed rate,
At the same time certain goods (mainly textile riece goods and books)
were exempted from permit, subject to certain ceiling prices, when imported
from soft currency countries.
In the beginning of 1951 the ceiling, prices previously established for
piece goods which could be imported, without permit from soft currency countries,
were substantially increased, The importation thereof; however, was again made
subject to permit, but this was done for record purposes only and permits are
issued freely on application by importers who can submit proof of confirmed
orders and the same facilities were also made, applicable to imports of piece
goods from hard currency countries. CP.6/W/18
Page 32
UNITED KINGDOM
Legal basis for restrictions
Restriction of imports to safeguard the balance of payments is
carried out by means of an Order under the Import, Export and Customs
Powers (Defence) Act, 1939, prohibithg imports of all classes of. goods
except under licence granted by the Board of Trade.
Methods of restriction
Importation on private account is authorized by licences. A number
of commodities have been placed on "world open general licence", permitting
any person to import from any source of supply without limit of quantity;
a considerably larger range of goods are on open general licenses permitting
unrestricted imports from "soft currency sources". * A variant of the
open general licence procedure is the procedure of issuing open individual
licences: to individual traders, allowing them to import without limit of
quantity but subject to the observance of conditions such as compliance with
internal distribution controls.
The greeter part of the United Kingdom's imports are imported either
on Government account or under open general licences. For those imports
subject to specific individual licensing, a number of ad hoc methods are
used, including separate import allocations for individual soft currency
sources, "global" quotas for the soft currency area as a whole (a recent
experimental innovation) and licensing according to end-use (which applies
to dyestuffs and certain types of machinery). Applications for licences to
import goods destined for re-exports with or without further processing, or
for incorporation in goods manufactured for export, are dealt with indivi-
dually in the light of balance of payments considerations.
In the overall programming of imports, a broad distinction is drawn
between imports from hard-currency and from soft-currency sources. For
imports from the dollar area and other hard-currency sources, a detailed
programme for individual commodities is drawn up in the light of import
requirements and of availabilities from other sources; this programme covers
goods imported on both Government account and private account.. For imports
from' soft currency sources, of which a very wide range can be imported
without restriction under open general licences, the procedure is more in
the nature of forecasting than of programming. The United Kingdom has bi-
lateral trade and payments agreements with a number of countries in
i.e. countries other than the following:
Albania, Argentina, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Canada, Columbia,
Costa.Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, El Salvador, French Somamiland,. Germany (Russian
Zone), Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Japan, Korea,
Liberia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Porsia (Iran), Philippines,
Poland, Roumania, Tangier, United States of America, Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics, Venezuela, Yugoslavia. CP.6/W/18
Page 33
UNITED KINGDOM (cont' d)
connection with which import allocations for goods subject to individual
licensing are periodically reviewed in consultation with the other country
concerned; but formal commitments to purchase specified quantities of
particular goods from such sources are not a normal feature of these
agreements.
State-trading
A system of import exclusively on Government account applies to a
number of foodstuffs and raw materials, for example where this is considered
to facilitate the procurement of adequate supplies at reasonable prices or
the operation of domestic rationing and price control arrangements. Subject
to the limitations imposed on hard-currency imports by the import programme,
purchasing is guided by commercial considerations such as prices, quality
and availability.
Special measures to alleviate in
A scheme of token imports, of interest mainly to hard-currency
countries, permits the import of limited quantities of various manufactured
products which would otherwise be totally excluded.
Overseas territories
The dependent overseas territories of the United Kingdom have import
control systems which, though naturally differing in detail from that of the
United Kingdom, embody the same general principles; the primary object is to
economise in expenditure of hard currencies. As in the United Kingdom,
imports from soft-currency sources are licensed on a liberal basis.
Recent changes
Regular programmes of imports from the dollar area have been drawn
up since 1948 and the restriction of imports from non-dollar countries has
been adjusted from time to time with changes in the balance of payments
position and in accordance with such arrangements as the Intra-European Pay-
ments Agreements and the European Payments Union. The import policy for
1950-51 has been to continue to restrict dollar imports to help in the further
restoration of the central gold and dollar reserves of the sterling area.
Increased expenditure on dollar imports has been inevitable in the light of
the world situation, and in particular the requirements of the increased
defence programme, but as strict economy as possible in dollar expenditure has
been maintained as a part of the effort to strengthen the position and the
stability of sterling. More recently the dollar difficulties of the sterling
area have become more serious and in the third quarter of 1951 there has
been a substantial fall in the gold and dollar reserves. |

A REVIEW OF QUANTITATIVE EXORT RESTRICTIONS
At the Fourth Session the Working Party on Quantitative Restrictions
suggested that it was desirable to carry out an enquiry on quantitative
restrictions on exports maintained by contracting parties under various
provisions of Articles XI - XXC and that this might receive the early attention
of the Ccntracting Parties, At. the fourth meeting cf the Fifth Session, the
Contracting Parties decided, in principle, that information relating tn the
application ef export restrictions should be obtained, and the Secretariat
was asked. to supply a more detailed proposal. (Ref, GATT/CP.5/3 and. SR.4).
A number of representatives who participated. in thc discussion on
4-th November did not favour an enquiry if it would involve contracting
parties in answering a leng.thy questionnaire. Accordingly, it is proposed
that. the Contracting Parties might authorize the Executive Secretary to
invite contracting parties to submit statements on the restrictive measures
which they apply to experts, naming thc products restricted and describing
the method. of restriction, together with a note of the circumstances which
gave rise to the application of each measure,
Contracting parties might be asked to submit their statements net later
than April 30, 1951, and the Executive Secrctary might be authorized to
prepare a memorandum, on the basis of the stat; ments received. for submission
to the Sixth Session. |

CONTRACTING PARTIES
ACCEPTANCE OF PROTOCOLS
Establishment of a Cormmon Text of the
General Agreement
At their Fourth Session the C contracting Parties adopted a
Resolution inviting all contracting parties to accept each of
the protocols which modifies the text. of the General Agreement.
The text of the resolution (which will be found in GATT/CP.4/26/
Rev,2 and in GATT/CP/61 page 12) draws attention to the fact that
for some articles of the Agreement there are now two versions:
one in force for contracting parties which have accepted an
mending protocol and the other for those which have not accepted
the protocol. The Contracting Parties were of the opinion that
this situation may cause confusion and impair the smooth
operation of the Agreement, and therefore resolved that the
establishment of a uniform text is highly desirable. The Reso-
lution invites those contracting parties wh ch have not signed
or accepted all the protocols modifying the Agreement to do so
prior to the opening of the Torquaj tariff negotiations on
28 September 1950.
Furthers the Contracting Parties adopted a recommendation
urging those contracting parties which have not signed the
protocols rectifying and modifying the Schedules to the Agreement
to make arrangements to do so without further delay. These
protocols cannot enter into force until they have been signed
by all contracting parties.
The following is a list of the outstanding protocols together
with the names of the contracting parties which, according to
information received to date from the Headquarters of the United
Nations, have not signed or accepted them
