AGENDA OF SECOND MEETING
To be Held on Friday, 9 January 1948 at 3.00 p.m.
(Reference E/CONF.2/C.3/8)
1. Article 25 - Subsidies in General
(a) Conclusion of discussion on proposal by the United States to
introduce, in the first sentence, the phrase "a Member considers" in
place of determinations by the Organization. (Item 18, page 7 and
note on page 9).
(b) Suggestion of the International Chamber of Commerce that this
Article be placed after Article 26. (Document E/CONF.2/14).
2.Article 26 - Additional Provisions on Export Subsidies
Note: The International Chamber of Commerce (E/CONF. 2/14)
suggests the transfer of Article 28 to follow
paragraph 1 of this Article.
Paragraph 1
Proposal by the United States to except primary products from the
general prohibition of subsidies on exportation.
Note: This proposal involves other proposals by the United States
relating to paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 26 and to
Articles 27 and 29 - (Item 18, notes on page 9).
Paragraph 2
(a) Proposal by Sweden to insert the words "directly or

(b) Proposal by Argentina to delete all words after "date" in

(c) The delegation of the Netherlands presents to the
Sub-Committee a tentative redraft of this paragraph:
/"With E/CONF. 2/C.3/H/2
Page 2
"With a view to reaching a common ground between the amendments put
forward on Articles 26 and 27, and the views expressed in the
Committee, the following tentative redraft of Article 26,
paragraph 3 is given as a basis for discussion, leaving the
text of paragraph 1 a it stands:
3. Members shall give effect to the provisions of
paragraph 1 of this Article at the earliest practicable
date, but [in any event] not later than [two years from
the day on which this Charter enters into force] [1January 1951].
If any Member considers itself unable to do so in respect of
any [specific] particular product or products, it shall,
[at least three months before the expiration of such period]
[not later than 1 October 1950] give notice in writing to the
Organization, requesting a specific extention of the period.
Such notice shall accompanied by a [complete] ll analysis,
of the system in question and the [effects] circumstances
justifying it. The Organization shall then, taking into
account special circumstances which might prevail in the
production, consumption or trade in that particular product,
give a ruling whether the extensions requested should be made.'
Explanatory remarks
Considering that the United States amendment is too sweeping, an
attempt is made to make clear that 'special difficulties' as under
Chapter VI ought to be taken into consideration when a determination
under this paragraph is made. However, the term 'special difficulties'
is avoided and 'circumstances' is used. The term 'product' is used
instead of 'primary commodity' to make it clear that the provisions
of paragraph 3 are not exclusively meant to cover the case of primary Commodities.
For this aim, the last sentence ia rewritten. Other changes are
mostly drafting changes.
(a) 'in any event' in the third line is omitted, because
the paragraph goes on to define the exceptions to the rule;
(d) a specific da e is mentioned, which is more ccurate and
might help the Argentinian delegation (Item 6);
(c) 'particular' is to replace 'specific', to indicate that the
exceptions must be limited as far as possible;
(d) 'full analysis' is given to replace 'complete' the last
word being too ambitious;
(e) 'effects' are replaced by 'circumstances'. It is not
clear whether the effects are meant to be the beneficial
/effects E/CONF.2/C . 3/H/2
Page 3
effects of the subsidy in operation or the detrimental effects
of the abolition of the subsidy;
(f) by specifying the task of the Organization to give a ruling,
the determination disappears, which is desirable;
(g) in connection with (f) and the new text of Article 59, in
paragraph 3 of Article 27 the last sentence ought to read: 'If
a finding has been made',
(h) it would seem that after the ruling of the Organization, the
Member still has recourse to the provisions of Article 27 (2) to
ask for a study group of interested Members."
Paragraph 4
Deletion proposed by the United States - (Item 18).
Proposed New Paragraph
Proposal by Venezuela to add a new exception to the provisions
of paragraph 1 - (Item 7). (See C.3/SR.26 for Notes on Committee
discussion).
3. Article 27 - Special Treatment of Primary Commodities
General
Proposal by the United States to delete this Article - (Item 18).
Paragraph 1
Proposal by Venezuela to substitute "may also result" for "has
also resulted" in line 1 of sub-paragraph (a) - (Item 8).
Proposed new Paragraph 2
Proposal by the Netherlands to add a new paragraph relating to
domestic price stabilization systems not covered by paragraph 1 - (Item 9).
Paragraph. 2
(a) Proposals by Argentina, Peru and the United States to delete
this paragraph - (Items 10 and 18)
(b) Clarification of the intended application of this paragraph.
Paragraph 3

to delete this paragraph - (Items 10 and 18).

THIRD COMMITTEE: COMMERCIAL POLICY
AMENDMENT OF ANNEX B PERTAINING TO ARTICLE 16
The delegation of France has drawn attention to the fact that owing to
an error in drafting the footnote references to Annex B, regarding preferences
applying to the French Union listed in Article 16 of the Charter and in
Article 1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs, the following territories have
been shown as enjoying preferences for imports into Metropolitan France only.
Treaty Basin of the Congo-Cameroons, French Establishments in India, French
Establishments in the Condominium of the New Hebrides, Morocco (French zone)
and Togo. However, the products of these territories also enjoy a system of
preferences for imports into the other territories of the French Union.
Consequently, the words: "For imports into Metropolitan France", appearing
on page 60 of the English text of the Report of the Second Session of the
Preparatory Committee, should read: "For imports into Metropolitan France

It is therefore proposed to amend Annex B accordingly. |

The text of the first sentence thus to read as follows:
"Any affected Member acting in its own behalf or any Member on behalf
of any affected person, enterprise or organization within that
Member's juriadaction may, in accordance with Article 44, paragraphs 2 and.
3, present a. written complaint....."
Paragraph 2
The text of the first sentence of paragraph 2 should read as follows:.
"The Organization shall prescribe the minimum information to be

deasadbad in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 44 and have, or are about
to have the effect described in paragraph 1 of that Article,"

Regarding paragraph 1
The complaints to be investigated according to Article 45 A are only such
complaints as described in Article 44, paragraphs 2 and 3. Consequently, a
complaint must refer to such practices as described in paragraph 3 of Article 44
and which are engaged in or made effective by such enterprises as described in
paragraph 2, (b) and (c) of that:Article. The text of Article 45 A,
paragraph 1, as it reads in the proposal suggested by the Ad Hoc Committee,
may be read as establishing a basis for a more comprehensive right to make
complaints to be considered according to Article 45 A. To avoid such
misinterpretation one ought to insert a reference to paragraphs 2 and 3 of
Article 44.
Regarding paragraphs 2, 5 and 7 . . . .

GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE
Contracting Parties
Second session
Item 5 of the provisional agenda
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XXIX
GATT/1/57, issued at Havana on March 22nd, 1948,
provided under paragraph 3(b)(i) that the agenda of the
Second Session should include consideration of the
amendments to the second sentence of paragraph 3, and
paragraph 6 of article XXIX, as proposed in GATT/1/21.
The Government of the Netherlands have proposed that the
agenda of the Second Session should also include considera-
tion of the amendment to paragraph 1 of Article XXIX, as
proposed in GATT/1/21.
The proposal contained in GATT/1/21 referred to a
revision of the whole of Article XXIX. For the convenience
of representatives of the Contracting Parties them is set
forth herewith the whole of the proposed revision of
.rticle XXIX as contained in GATT/1/21:
"1. The contracting parties undertake to observe to the
fullest extent of their executive authority the general
principles of the Havana Charter pending their acceptance of
it in accordance with their constitutional procedures.
" 2. Part II of this Agreement shall be suspended on the day
on which the Havana Charter enters into force. If the
Havana Charter should thereafter cease to be in force,
Part II of this Agreement shall thereupon again become
effective subject to paragraph 4 of this Article, provided
that the texts of Articles III, IV, V, Vi, VII, VIII, IX,
X. XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX and
XXI shall be respectively replaced, mutatis mutandis, by
the texts of Articles 18, 199 32, 33, 349,35, 36, 37, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 13 40, 43 and 94 of the Havana
Charter in the form in which they appear at the time the
Havana Chartor ceases to be in force.
"3. If any contracting party has not accepted the Charter
when it has entered into force, the contracting parties
shall confer to agree whether, and if so in what way,
this Agreement, insofar as it affects relations between the
contracting party which has not accepted the Havana Charter
and other contracting parties, shall be supplemented or
amended. Pending such agreement the provisions of Part II
of this Agreement shall, notwithstanding the provisions
of paragraph 2 of this Article, continue to apply as
between any contracting party which has not accepted
. Havana Charter and the other contracting parties.
"4. During the month of September 1949 should the Havana
Charter not have entered into force, or at such earlier
time as may be agreed if it is known that the Charter will
not enter into force, or at such later time as may be GATT/CP.2/12
page 2
agreed if the Havana Charter ceases to be in force, the
contracting parties shall meet to agree whether this
Agreement shall be amended, supplemented or maintained.
"5. The signatories of the Final Act which are not at the
time contracting parties shall be informed of any agreement
which may be reached between the contracting parties under
paragraph 3 or 4 of this Article.
"6. No contracting party shall invoke the provisions of
this Agreement so as to prevent the operation of any
provision of the Havana Charter when it has entered into
force." |

In order to bring paragraph 6 of Article XVIII of the GATT into
Conformity with the phresing of paragreph 1 (a) of Article 14, as amended
by Committee II of the Conference (See doctument E/CONF.2/41, page 13) the
Brazilian delegation suggests that the following proviso be added to the
first proviso of paragraph 6 of Article XVIII of the GATT:
"; and Provided that, if In special circumstances. the Contrecting Parties
to this Agreement agree to dates other than those specified in this
peragraph, such other dates shall apply".
JUSTIFICATION
The signatories of the GATT which-have been unable so far and which
may not be In a position to ratify the Agreement for some time may, in the
meantime, have the need to apply measures Inconsistent with the provision
of Part II of the Agement on non-negotiated committments. If those
signatories were Contracting Parties there would be no difficulty as they
would have the mechinery avaiable to socure exzamination of such measures
in accordance with the provisions of Article XVIII in its present form or
as amended by the Conference in the form of the new Article 13 of the Charter.
For reasons beyond the control of their respective Governments, as
explained In paragraph 13 of the Report of Sub-Committee. C. of Committee II
on Article 13 and 14 (document E/CONF.2/C.2/41), those signatories may find
themselves unable for sometime to apply the provisions of the GATT. If
av amendment were accepted by the Contracting Parties to consider an
application for new dates to be established and to replace those of
September 1, 1947, and October 10, 1947, the problem here contemplated
would be adequately taken care of. The measure which those signatories
would have put into effect, after September 1, 19147, w=2 then-be on
the same standing as those which were declared in Geneva on October 10, 1947,
/or as those of
6256 Page 2
or as those of signatories of the Fina Act of Havana, non-signatories of the
final Act of Ganeva, on the date of the depesit of the instrument of
acoeptance of the Charter or at the date of entiy into force of the Charter,
whichever is the earlier.
The amendment suggested is, therefore designed to meet situations not at
present - enviaged in the Agreement and to avoid the political and administrative
difficulties which non-Conracting Parties would find themselves In when they
decide to ratify such Agreement. |

Second Session
AMENDMENT TO THE TEXT OF THE
GENERAL AGREEMENT, SUBMITTED BY THE FRENCH DELEGATION
Article XV, paragraph 9.
The deletion of the phrase, "Subject to the provisions
of paragraph 4 of this Article" is justified on the same
grounds as led to the deletion of an identical phrase in
Article 24, paragraph 8, of the Havana Charter.
This phrase was justifiable in Article 24 when the old
draft (the so-called Geneva draft) of Article 23 provided,
for exceptions to the rule on non-discrimination, standards
different from those applied by the Monetary Fund in respect
of exchange restrictions during the transition period.
It was recognized at Havana that the new wording of
Article 23 in practice eliminated any possibility of
divergencies between the Havana Charter and the Bretton Woods
Agreement, and that the phrase in question thus became
pointless. The new wording of Article 23 of the Havana
Charter having been substituted for the old Art.icle XIV in
the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the phrase
in question should similarly be omitted from article XV,
paragraph 9.
It is desirable, in fact, to remove all possible
divergencies between the texts of the General Agreement and
the Havana Charter, even when those divergencies seem
purely formal and devoid of practical implications.
Actual experience shows that any such divergency opens
the way for subsequent differences of interpretation which
cannot but prejudice the effective application of both the
Agreement and the Charter. |

ANNEX F
NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
PROVIDED BY UNRRA
1. At the thirty-fourth meeting of the Sub-Commission on Economic
Development (E/CN.1/Sub.3/SR.34) Mr. Henson, a former official of UNRRA,
gave the Sub-Commission information with regard to the technical assistance
work of UNRRA. The UNRRA programme was of course directed toward
rehabilitation and not development but it is suggested that the same means
would be equally appropriate for the purpose of development.
2. One of the means employed by UNRRA was to organize and finance
technical fellowships. Of a total of 158 fellowships provided by UNRRA,
approximately 60 were in 20 or more specialized aspects of industrial
production. The entire cost of the 153 fellowships was $650,000. The cost
of the 60 industrial fellowships was approximately $240,000. Some 300
industrial firms, technical institutions and government bureaus made their
facilities available to the fellows. The countries in which fellows were
received included the United States, the United Kingdom, Holland, Belgium,
Norway and France.
3. The following are some of the industrial fields in which fellowships
were granted:
Building Codes
Hydroelectrics
Building materials
Coal research and mining methods
Port organization
Building materials, standards and construction methods
Sewage and waterworks
Electrification of railways
Wood products technology
Electrical traction transportation
Railway transport and rolling stock construction and repair
Blast furnaces and metallurgy
Rolling mills specializing in thin sheets

Bridge and highway construction
4. Apart from the programme for technical fellowships, UNRRA provided other
forms of technical assistance. For example, UNRRA allocated funds for the
supply of technical handbooks, training films and projectors and engineering
instruments and laboratory apparatus. Approximately $2,200,000 was used for
these technical materials, many of which were used to re-equip the facilities
of universities and technical institutes. Of this sum $1,900,000 was
allocated to China.
In addition, UNRRA provided technical services in conjunction with the
supply of equipment and with its rehabilitation pro jects and made special
arrangements to ensure the inclusion of technical manuals, blueprints, etc.,
as a matter of routine commercial practice with all equipment furnished
under each contract. The following is an example of technical assistance
given by INRRA in conjunction with the supply of equipment and concerns
highway transport repair services in Poland:
"Under the scheme whereby industrial rehabilitation specialists were
appointed to assist various European countries with their recovery
programmes, a Highways Transport Consultant was assigned to Poland.
/"During the early ICITO/EC. 2/7/F
Page 3
"During the early part of 1946, UNRRA procured from the U.S. Army
in England through its Surprop organization, three complete Motor
Vehicle Heavy Repair Shops, and a complete Tire Repair and Re-treading
plant. The Highways Transport Consultant attended the dismantling,
packing and shipment of this plant, and supervised its re-erection in
Poland.
"The work of re-erection was commenced in May 1946 and completed
some three to four months later.
"In addition to the three Heavy Repair Shops, five other vehicle
repair shop were established in various parts of the country to deal
with day-to-day maintenance and repairs.
"UNRRA had supplied PoIand with some 25,000 trucks of heterogeneous
makes and types, the repair and maintenance of which was a major
operation, and upon which largely depended the success or failure of
the country's transport. In addition to the UNRRA trucks, there was
also a considerable quantity of indigenous vehicles, for which local
repair facilities were largely non-existent.
"The capacity of the repair plant supplied by UNRRA was about
25,000 vehicles per annum.
"The major operation of the Heavy Repair Shops commenced during
August 1946, and in spite of language difficulties, the training of
staffs, their unfamiliarity with new types of vehicles, and the normal
building-up stages of a large industrial project, full operation was
achieved by the middle of 1947.
"In addition to the repair plant, the Surprop purchase also
included thousands of cases of U.S. spare parts. ERO had also placed
orders for a 2-year's scale of parts for all the British and many
of the US. vehicles. The unpacking, identification and binning of
these parts, and the establishment of a store-keeping system, comprised
a very big item in the whole transport scheme.
"The Heavy Repair Shops were organized on production lines,
starting with a complete stripping of the vehicle, through various
unit overhauls to final re-assembly. In order to assist the shortage
of certain parts, the manufacture of such things as piston rings,
pistons, road springs, etc., was embarked upon with great success.
"Results have proved the whole transport repair organization to
have been an unqualified success. and of lasting value to the country."
On occasion UNRRA provided specialists on particular problems
independently of equipment supplied. For example, experts were sent to
Czechoslovakia to advise on the mechanization of coal mines. |

NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE INTERNATIONAL BANK
FOR BECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
1. According to the Articles of Agreement of the Bank (Article 1,
paragraph (i)), its purposes are:
"To assist the reconstruction and development of territories
of Members by facilitating the investment of capital for
productive purposes including the restoration of economies
destroyed or disrupted by war, the reconversion of productive
facilities to peacetime needs and
development of productive facilities and resources in less
developed countries."
Under Article 3, Section I, paragraph (2), "the resources and
facilities of the Bank shall be used.... with equitable consideration to
projects for development and projects for reconstruction alike".
The Bank may make loans itself by using certain of its own funds and
funds borrowed in the market. It may also facilitate loans by private
investors by guaranteeing or participating in them.
2. As of 31 March 1918, the subscribed capital of the Bank amounted to
the equivalent of $8,263,100,000, of which twenty per cent or $1,652,620,000,
had been paid in. The latter amount is available in principal for the
Bank's own loans. The remaining $6,610,480,000 remains subject to call to
meet the Bank's obligations. Of the $1,652,620,000 paid in, $736,270,000 are
available for loans in the form of gold or U.S. dollars, the remainder
being in the form of other currencies of the member Governments.
Supplementing the funds subscribed in gold or U.S. dollars are the proceeds
of two issues of its bonds, one issued to private investors in the
United States in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 and the
other as announced on 25 May, 1948 to be sold to the Bank for International
Settlements in the amount of 17 million Swiss francs (approximately
$4,000,000). Loans authorized and their status as of 31 March 1948 were as

3. on 18 May 1948 the Bank issued the following statement regarding
pending loan applications:
Belgium
Discussions are in progress between the Bank and prospective Belgian
borrowers. representatives of the Bank have recently returned from Belgium
where they completed a preliminary study of the country's economy, and a
Belgian delegation has now arrived in Washington. The discussions, however,
have not yet progressed to a point where details of the projects to be
included in the application can be disclosed.
Bolivia
Following an inquiry on behalf of the Bolivian Development -Corporation,
in respect of a proposed loan of U.S. $3 million for the erection of a sugar
mill, the Bank, at the invitation of the Bolivian Government, sent a
mission to La Paz in order to study the general situation in Bolivia, The
mission's report is now being prepared.
Brazil
Brazilian Traction, Light & Power Company, Limited, approached the Bank
in 1947 for a loan to finance part of the'cost of additional facilities
to be completed in 1947, 1948 and 1949. After further study and after
engineering and economic surveys had been made, the, Company, in December 1947,
submitted a revised programme, which contemplated a loan of U.S. $75 million,
to be guaranteed by the Government of Brazil. In the new programme, the period
of construction was extended through 1951, and the loan applied, for was to
cover the foreign currency requirements of electric and telephone plant
additionas, Representa ves of the Company and of the Government have been

discussing with Bank officials the terms of such a loan and the legislation
necessary to implement the proposed guarantee. The bill to authorize the
guarantee has been favourably reported upon by the Finance Committee of the
Chamber of Deputies and will be taken up again when the Brazilian Congress
reconvenes.
Colombia
Through the Governor of the Bank for Colombia, the Government requested
the Bank, at the end of January 1948, to lend its advice and assistance in
the selection of competent advisory and engineering services in the
United States and, if possible, in making contact with investors, in
connection with a proposed steel mill in the Northwestern part of Colombia.
The Possibility of an application for a loan from the Bank is envisaged.
The Bank has stated its readiness to give the assistance asked for and has
requested certain data. A survey previously made of the projected plant
is to be furnished to the Bank for study and consideration when
representatives of the Government, who are now inspecting steel plants in
the United States, reach Washington.
Czechoslovakia
The Czechoslovakian Government, in July 1946, submitted an application
for a loan of U.S. $350,000,000 in connection with a programme of
reconstruction and rehabilitation of industry, agriculture and transport, and of
restocking of raw materials. After study of this programme, the Bank advised
the Czechoslovakian representatives to submit a more limited programme,
stressing those lines of industry, the rehabilitation of which would yield
quick returns in terms of goods marketable against convertible currencies.
In response to this suggestion, the Czechoslovakian Government submitted,
early in 1948, a list of specific projects totalling U.S. $106.0 millions.
This revised programme is under study and an on-the-spot investigation is
planned.
Finland
After a preliminary approach through the Finnish Legation in Washington,
the Minister of Finland informed the Bank in February, 1948, that Finland
was contemplating applying for a loan to finance the reconstruction of her
agriculture, electrical power facilities, export industries and
transportation. Finnish representatives subsequently visited the Bank when
the general procedure covering loan applications was explained and Finnish
representatives were furnished with copies of a questionnaire covering the
general economic position of Finland. IC ITO/EC .2/7/H

Iran
The Iranian Government, in 1946, appointed a firm of U.S. construction
engineers to prepare a programme for the development of the country' s
resources. The company's report was submitted to the Bank in September 1947.
Study of the engineers' report showed that considerable further investigation
was necessary and additional information required. Following a change in
government in Iran, the Bank in February 1948 was shown a summary of a new
seven-year development programme which had been submitted to the Iranian
Government by the Supreme Planning Board. This revised development programme is
still under review by the Iranian Government. The Bank has offered to send a
fact-finding mission to Iran, should the Iranian Government so desire.
in August of 1947, the Italian Government requested the International
Bank to extend to Italy an Interim line of credit of $250 million. A
fact-finding mission of the Bank which visited Italy during the autumn of 1947
reported that there were in the Italian Government's programme for
reconstruction and development a number of individual projects meriting
further consideration as a possible basis for a loan from the Bank, contingent
upon the outcome of the European Recovery Programme. The Bank so informed
the Italian Government, and, after indicating the general types of projects
falling within the Italian Government 's programme which appeared most
Interesting to the Bank, suggested that the Italian Government select a
group of individual projects falling within designated categories and
assemble the detailed information necessary for the appraisal of the projects
by the Bank. A mission is now in Italy for further investigation.
Mexico
The Government of Mexico submitted an application for a loan of
U.S. $208,875,000 in April 1947. The application covered a series of
hydro-electric, irrigation, oil pipeline, railway, port and highway projects.
The Bank indicated to the Mexican representatives that much more information
on the particular projects and their relation to the general Mexican economic
situation was required. A Bank representative was sent to Mexico in
October 1947 to familiarize himself with Mexican economic conditions and
to advise with the appropriate Mexican authorities in the preparation of
the required additional Information. It is anticipated that this new data
will be submitted to the Bank shortly and the Bank and the representatives of
Mexico will then renew discussions.
Netherlands
In addition to the loan already granted to the Netherlands, consideration
is being given to a request for a loan to finance the purchase of cargo
vessels. /Norway ICITO/EC.2/7/H
Page 5
There have been informal conversations of a general exploratory nature
with the Norwegian government, but as yet no definite request has been
formulated.
Peru
No loan application has been received from Peru, but, in December 1947,
the Peruvian Government requested that a mission be sent to Lima in order
to study the Peruvian financial situation in general, and the possibilities
of foreign investment in Peru. The Bank mission has visited Peru and is
preparing its report.
The Philippines
Informal talks in Washington in November 1947 resulted in an
invitation to the Bank by the Philippines to send a fact-finding mission.
The mission visited the Philippines during January and February 1948, and
a report is now in preparation.
Poland
A formal request for a reconstruction loan of $600 million was made to
the Bank by the Polish Government in September 1946. The general purpose
of the loan was for the purchase of capital goods, mainly machinery and
equipment, required for the implementation of the Plan of Economic
Reconstruction prepared by the Polish Government for the four years 1946-1949.
After a preliminary analysis of this application the Bank informed the
Polish Government in April 1947 that it would, at that time, be able to give
active consideration only to a loan of limited amount to be used for the
rehabilitation of the Polish coal mining industry. As a result, a revised
application for such a loan was submitted by the Polish Government, to cover
mining equipment required for the maintenance and expansion of Polish coal
production. A fact-finding mission visited Poland during the summer, after
which negotiations have been carried on. They have not yet led to a
conclusion.
Turkey
Preliminary inquiries have been made by representatives of the Turkish
Government as to the possibility of obtaining assistance from the Bank for the
financing of certain development projects which the Turkish Government has
under consideration. Informal conversations with regard to this matter
between the Bank and representatives of the Turkish Government are now under way.
Yugoslavia
In December 1947, the Yugoslav Government submitted a formal
application to the Bank for a loan of $500 million for the reconstruction and
/improvement ICITO/EC.2/7/H
Page 6
improvement of mines and for the development of electrification projects.
No detailed information regarding the Yugoslav economy and the various
projects for which financing is sought by the Yugoslav Government has yet
been received.
Proposed European Timber Loan
The Bank has received from the Executive Secretary of the Economic
Commission for Europe reports of the Timber Sub-Committee of that
organization which state that if the European timber exporting countries
(Finland, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Austria) could obtain
equipment and other goods valued at approximately $17 million, they would be
able to increase substantially their exports of timber to the European
importing countries (mainly, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium and the
Netherlands) in 1948 and subsequent years. The Bank is now exploring this
matter with a view to ascertaining what, if any, action it can take to
assist in financing the purchase of the necessary equipment and supplies. |

DRAFT RESOLUTION OF THE USSR DELEGATION CONCERNING THE SETTING
UP OF A COMMITTEE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC
RELATIONS BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE
Considering that international economic co-operation, based on
equality of rights of the contracting countries and on respect for their
sovereignty and mutual economic interests, presupposes the development
of economic relations between the countries of Europe,
And having regard to the fact that the development of economic
relations between the countries of Europe must be based on an increase
in the exchange of goods between those countries, with the application
of normal conditions of credit, and must above all be directed towards
the liquidation of the after-effects of the war,
THE ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE
RESOLVES to set up a Committee for the Development of economic

ANNEX L
NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT REGARDING THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS OF
THE UNITED NATIONS WITH REGARD TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
OF TRUST AND OTHER NON-SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORIES
1. This paper is concerned with the Trusteeship Council and the
General Assembly's Special Committee on Information Transmitted under
Article 73(e) of the Charter of the United Nations, together with the
Department of Trusteeship and Information from Non-Self-Governing
Territories of the Secretariat of the United Nations and its Divisions,
which serve these organs. The Trusteeship Council and the Special
Committee of the General Assembly on Information Transmitted under
Article 73(e) of the Charter are distinct from the Economic and Social
Council, and the direct responsibility for servicing these organs is
incumbent upon the Department of Trusteeship and Information from Non-
Self-Governing Territories and not upon the Department of Economic Affairs
or the Department of Social Affairs. The authority of these organs
derives from Chapter XI ("Declaration Regarding Non-Self-Governing
Territories"), Chapter XII ("International Trusteeship System") and
Chapter XIII ("Trusteeship Council") of the Charter of the United Nations.
The Trusteeship Council includes among its functions responsibility for
promoting the economic advancement of the inhabitants of the Trust
Territories. The Special Committee is concerned with the information
transmitted to the Secretary-General by Members of the United Nations
under Article 73(e) of Chapter XI of the Charter; Article 73(e) of the
Charter applies to Non-Self-Governing Territories excluding Trust
Territories.
2. The Non-Self-Governing Territories are also -within the scope of the
general concern in economic and social matters of the Economic and Social
Council and its commissions, including the Economic and Employment
Commission and its Sub-Commission on Economic Development. The Economic
and Social Council regards such territories as being among the under-
developed areas. The Secretariat of the Department of Economic Affairs
/and the Secretariat of ICITO/EC .2/7/L
Page 2
and the Secretariat of the Department of Social Affairs include such
territories, when appropriate, in their general studies.
3. Ten territories formerly administered under mandate from the League
of Nations have been placed under the International Trusteeship System
provided for in Chapters XII and XIII of the Charter. Nine of these
territories are within the competence of the General Assembly which
exercises the functions of the United Nations with regard to them. The
Trusteeship Council, operating under the authority of the General Assembly,
assists the General Assembly in carrying out these functions. The
Trusteeship Council, when appropriate, avails itself of the assistance
of the Economic and Social Council and of the specialized agencies in
regard to matters with which they are respectively concerned (Article 91
of the Charter). The tenth Trust Territory is a Strategic Area, and, as
such, is within the competence of the Security Council. As provided in
paragraph 3 of Article 83, "The Security Council shall, subject to the
provisions of the trusteeship agreements and without prejudice to security
considerations, avail itself of the assistance of the Trusteeship Council
to perform those functions of the United Nations under the trusteeship
system relating to political, economic, social and educational matters
in the strategic areas."
4. In respect of Trust Territories within the competence of the
General Assembly, the Trusteeship Council is primarily concerned with
exercising the functions of the United Nations in .spect of their
development - including economic development. Thea , thus an area of
common concern to the Economic and Social Council and the Trusteeship
Council. Recognizing this fact, the two Councils appointed a Joint
Committee to consider arrangements for co-operation in dealing with such
matters. Among the various recommendations in the Report of the
Joint Committee (document .E&T/C.1/2/Rev.1) is the following:
"It is recognized that the Economic and Social Council and
its Commissions are empowered to make recommendations or studies
of general application on matters within their special provinces.
It is also recognized that such recommendations or studies may
be made in respect of particular groups of territories such as
those within a given geographical region or those presenting
common economic or social problems. Trust Territories as such
should not, however, be singled out for such special recommendations,
except with the concurrence of the Trusteeship Council."
5. On 16 August 1947 the Economic and Social Council decided in its
/Resolution 87 (V) ICITO/EC . 2/7 /L
Page 3
Resolution 87 (V) concerning procedural arrangements for co-operation with
the Trusteeship Council as follows:
"THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL,
HAVING CONSIDERED the report of the Joint Committee of the
Economic and Social Council and the Trusteeship Council on
Arrangements for Co-operation in Matters of Common Concern
(documents E&T/C. 1/2 and E&T/C.1/2/Corr.1),
DECIDES to refer the report for consideration of the
Trusteeship Council together with the views expressed in the Council
in the debate of 16 August 1947."
The Trusteeship Council. in the course of its second session (November -
December 1947) approved the report of the Joint Committee.
6. The provisions of the Charter of the United Nations relating to non-
self-governing territories generally, as distinct from trust territories
in particular, are in Chapter XI. Under Article 73(e) of this Chapter, Members
responsible for Non-Self-Governing Territories excluding Trust Territories,
accept the obligation to promote to the utmost the well-being of the
inhabitants of these territories and agree to transmit regularly to the
Secretary-General information on economic, social and educational
conditions in the territories. The General Assembly at its second session
(September to November 1947) established its Special Committee on
Information Transmitted under Article 73(e) of the Charter. This Committee
is empowered to examine this information and also to make "such
substantive recommendations as it may deem desirable relating to
functional fields generally" (including inferentially the economic
development of Non-Self-Governing Territories) "but not with respect to
individual territories". The Special Committee, which is to hold its
first session on 2 September 1948, is also authorized by the General

ANNEX N
NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT REGARDING THE CARIBBEAN COMMISSION
The following is an extract from a letter of 16 June 1948, received
from the Acting Secretary-General of the Caribbean Commission regarding
its powers, responsibilities and activities in the field of industrial
and general economic development and regarding the availability from the
Commission of facilities for technical surveys and studies listed in the
Havana Resolution:
"2. The Caribbean Commission was established in 1946, as a
consultative and advisory body, by the four metropolitan countries -
France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States
which have territories in the Caribbean area.
"3. The functions of the Caribbean Commission are described in the
Agreement for the establishment of the Caribbean Commission as
follows:
'(1) To concern itself with economic and social matters of
common interest to the Caribbean area particularly
agriculture, communications, education, fisheries, health,
housing, industry, labour, social welfare and trade.
'(2) To study, formulate and recommend on its own initiative,
or as may be proposed by any of the Member or Territorial
Governments, by the Research Council or the Conference,
measures, programmes and policies with respect to social
and economic problems designed to contribute to the
well-being of the Caribbean area. It shall advise the
Member and Territorial Governments on all such matters,
and make recommendations for the carrying into effect of
all action necessary or desirable in this connection.
'(3) To assist in co-ordinating local projects which have
regional significance and to provide technical guidance
from a wide field not otherwise available.'
"The Research Council, which is an auxiliary body to the Commission,
is designed:
/'(a) To recommend ICITO/EC.2/7/N
Page 2
'(a) To recommend to the Commission the number and functions
of the technical Research Committees necessary to provide
specialized scientific consideration of Caribbean research
problems.
'(b) In the interest of the Caribbean area to ascertain what
research has been done, to survey needs, to advise concerning
desirable research projects, to arrange and facilitate
co-operative research, to undertake research assignments of a
special nature which no other agency is able and willing to
carry out, and to collect and disseminate information concerning
research,
'(c) To recommend to the Commission the holding of Research Council
and Committee meetings and also of meetings of scientific,
specialist and extension workers, and to facilitate an interchange
of experience among the research workers of the Caribbean.'
"4. The activities of the Caribbeam Commission, in tlhe field of
industrial and general economic development of the Caribbean, are confined,
for the time being, to the undertaking of the Survey of the industrial
resources and potentialities of the territories of the area, and as
well as of the study of transportation and communications, as
recommended by the West Indian Conference (second session).
"The recommendations made by the West .Indian Conference - which is
also an auxiliary body to the Commission - on the foregoing matter are
quoted hereunder:
'13 We recommend that a Conference on Industrial Developments
be convened by the Caribbean Commission not later than
February 1947. We further recommend that the territorial
governments be represented at that Conference with due
recognition of ownership, management and labour.
'14. In view of the absence at this time of comprehensive
information on potentialities for industrial development in the
Caribbean area, we recommend that, prior to the calling of the
Conference, a survey be made along the lines suggested below:
'(a) Existing Industries
'(i) Factual information regarding existing industries,
e.g. description of products (and by-products, where
applicable), production records, labour employed
(skilled and unskilled), wage rates, locality of
factories materials used (raw or partly processed),
sources of raw materials, and power used.
/'(ii) Potential ICITO/EC.2/7/N
Page 3
'(ii) Potential expansion and potential elaboration of
each industry.
'(iii) Whether assisted by government and, if so, to what
extent and by what means.
'(b) New or Projected Industries
' (i) Future plans, i.e. types of industrial developmet
contemplated.
'(ii) Materials required (raw or Partly processed).
'(iii) Whether raw materials are available locally in the
quautitles required for local demand.
'(iv) Suitability of the territory concerned for the
development of manufacturing enterprises, e.g.
availability of fuel, power, labour and transport.
'(v) Effective demand in the domestic market.
'(vi) Possibility of production for export after
satisfaction of potential local demand.
'(vii) Description of the type or types of assistance
which the government of the territory is prepared
to give to new industries in general and to
individual industries in particular.'
'17. That the terms of reference of the Conference on Industrial
Development proposed in paragraph 13 above include "Trade Within
the Caribbean" and "Transportation".
'18. That the same Conference be invited to consider not only the
industrial but also the agricultural aspects of trade withln the
Caribbean.
l9.That, in order to provide a factual basis for the proposed
Conference, the Caribbean Commission should obtain, from the
territorial governments within the area or from the metropolitan
governments, data on the subjects detailed below:
'(a) Agricultural and forest products available, or which
would be made available in the near future, for export to
other Caribbean territories;
'(b)Manufactured products or by-products at present available
for export or which could be made available for export in the
near future;
'(c) Copies of customs laws, regulations and tariffs with
amendments;
'(d) Excise duties;
'(e) Prohibited or restricted imports;
/'(f) Summaries ICITO/EC.2/7/N
Page 4
'(f) Summaries of treaties and other international
agreements which affect the operation of customs laws
and tariffs;
'(g) Statistics of external trade;
'(h) Annual glut and shortage periods with respect to
specified agricultural products.
'(i) Materials of local origin capable of use within the
area for building or industrial purposes and their
availability for export within the area;
'(j) Local peculiarities likely to affect inter-Caribbean
trade, e.g. prejudices for or against certain types of product;
'(k) Availability of storage, including cold storage.'
"5. With a view to the implementation of the above recommendations,
the Caribbean Commission at its Fourth Meeting, held in Jamaica in
June 1947, approved a resolution to establish a panel of four experts,
one to be appointed by each National Section, to make a general report
on the state of industrial development existing and projected in the
Caribbean area.
"Similarly, the Commission appointed a Consultant to make a survey
of shipping, transportation and communication facilities in the
Caribbean.
"Both these reports are now in progress. They will be subject of
discussion at the Third West Indian Conference, scheduled to be held
in Guadeloupe in December 1948.
"6. As to the facilities for technical surveys or studies, which can
be made available by the Commission, I wish to inform you that the
Central Secretariat is now actively engaged in the completion of a general
research surrey for the area. In due course the information provided
by the research survey will be collated according to the various fields
of research and disseminated, either under the form of a Year Book of
Caribbean Science, or through the medium of the Commission's Monthly
Information Bulletin.
"As far as the industrial development and transportation and
communications surveys are concerned, they could not be made available
before they have been submitted to the Commission for consideration
and action." |

Government:
"With reference to document.ICITO/EC.2/1 dated 9 June 1948,
I have the honour to inform you, upon instructions of my

work in the field of statistics and to consult each other in regard to
all statistical projects dealing with matters of common interest.
NOTE: In connection with agricultural commodities the FAO
will be primarily concerned with the statistics of
production, consumption and nutrition, while the ITO
will be primarily concerned with international trade
aspects. However, as statistics on any particular
aspect are of little value in isolation, it is
essential that collaboration between FAO and ITO
should result in the exchange of statistics as early
as possible after collection. Study groups within
the framework of Chapter VI would continue to collect
statistics relating to their own particular commodity.
At the present time study groups, as experts in their
own particular field, collect and publish statistics
monthly. By arrangement with the United Nations
Statistical Division the study groups also forward
advance information each month in time for publication
/in the ICITO/EC .2/2/Add.3
Page 6
in the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics.
It is essential that the United Nations Statistical
Division be included in any arrangement.
Article 10. Financing of Special Services
If compliance with a request for assistance made by either
Organization to the other would involve substantial expenditure for the
Organization complying with the request, consultation shall take place
with a view to determining the most equitable manner of meeting such
expenditure.
Article 11. Implementation of the Agreement
The Director- General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations and the Director-General of the International Trade
Organization may enter into such supplementary arrangements for the
implementation of this arrangement as may be found desirable in the light
of the operating experience of the two Organizations.
Article 12. Entry into Force
This arrangement shall come into force on its approval by the Council
of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the
International Trade Organization.
Article 13. Notification to the United Nations
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the
International Trade Organization will inform the Secretary-General of the
United Nations of the terms of the present Memorandum.
Article 14. Revision and Termination
This arrangement shall be subject to revision or termination provided
that such action be approved by the Council of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations and the Executive Board of the
International Trade Organization. |

ARTICIE 12 - INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Informal Analysis of Amendments Prepared by Secretariat
Analysis of Amendments Submitted to Article 12
The most far reaching amendments are those proposed by India (page 24)*
and Burma (page 24) for deletion of the entire Article.
The United States has proposed a redraft of the entire Article which
attempts to meet many of the points raised by the other delegations. The
text and explanatory notes thereto are given in document E/CONF.2/C.2/B/W.5.
Fundamental proposals on paragraph 2 have been made by Ceylon, Venezuela
and Uruguay (page 16). It is suggested that the United States redraft
be used as a basis for discussion in the Sub-Committee as many delegations
may wish, in the light of the redraft, to take up different positions from
those so far adopted. Further procedure would then depend on the
Sub-Committee's decision on the redraft although it is in no way intended that
the redraft small prejudice any amendments which have as yet not been
discussed.
Paragraph 1
1. Uruguay (page 14) has proposed to retain only the first part of the first
sentence and to delete the remainder of paragraph 1.
2. Pakistan (page 13) has proposed to introduce a principle of safeguarding
countries receiving foreign investments against "economic exploitation".
3. Peru (E/CONF.2/C.2/9/Add.5 and Add.5/Corr.1) has proposed the insertion
of a new sentence setting forth some additional conditions under which foreign
investment should be made.
4. Norway (page 13) has proposed a drafting amendment to the second sentence
of paragraph 1.
5. There is a group of amendments, all of which affect the last sentence
of paragraph 1:
(a) Czechoslovakia and Venezuela (page 15) propose to delete the last
sentence.
(b) Mexico (page 21, paragraph 1), proposes to amend the last sentence
* This and subsequent page references are to E/CONF.2/C/2/9, unless otherwise
stated.
/to include E/CONF.2/C. 2/B/W.1/Rev. 1
Page 2
to include the phrase "consistent with the limitations of their
legislation".
(c) Pakistan (page 14) proposes to change "widest" and "greatest" to
"reasonable" and "adequate".
(d) Argentina (page 15) proposes to qualify the last sentence by the
phrase "so far as is possible".
6. Amendments affecting the principle of the last sentence of paragraph 1
have been proposed by Ceylon (page 13) and New Zealand (page 16). These two
amendments would stress that the provisions of Article 12 in no way limit the
rights of governments receiving foreign investment to require the obtaining
of their approval or consent for investments which may be made in their
territories.
7. Afghanistan (page 16) proposes an amendment which is intended to be an
amendment to the United States proposal for the deletion of the present
paragraph 2. If paragraph 2 were deleted, Afghanistan proposes to shift the
substance of sub-paragraph (iii) of paragraph 2 to the end of paragraph 1.
Consideration of this amendment should be deferred until the conclusion of
the discussion on paragraph 2.
8. The United States amendment (page 14), to paragraph 1, is a minor
drafting charge which would be consequential on the adoption of the
United States amendment to paragraph 2, and should be considered after the
discussion of paragraph 2. Both this and the following amendment would be
superfluous if the United States redraft of the whole Article were adopted.
Paragraph 2
The original United States amendment (page 17) proposed the deletion of
paragraph 2 and the substitution of an obligation of Members to enter into
negotiations for bilateral agreements to give effect to the principles of
paragraph 1.
The delegations of Ceylon, Venezuela and Uruguay (page 16) propose
to delete the paragraph. The proposed Mexican amendment to Article 12 (page 21)
also involves the deletion of paragraph 2.
If any of the above-mentioned amendments is adopted the Argentine
amendments to paragraph 2 (page 17, 18 and 19), as well as the amendments,
of Sweden (rage 18) and Denmark (rage 19) and Pakistan
(E/CONF.2/C.2/9/Add.4/Corr.3 page.2) would no longer be required.
Note should also be taken of the proposal of the International Chamber
of Commerce recommending the deletion of paragraphs (i)-(iv) inclusive, which
limit the principle of national and most-favoured-nation treatment for
foreign investments. (See document E/CONF.2/14).
Paragraph 3
Four alternative amendments have been proposed:
/(a) Uruguay E/CONF.2/C.2/B/W.1/Rev. 1
Page 3
(a) Uruguay (page 20) proposed to delete the paragraph.
(b) Chile (page 20) proposes to amend the paragraph by strenghthening
the support for participation of local capital in enterprises financed
partially by foreign capit 1.
(c) Paragraph 4 of the proposed Mexican amendment (page 23) is in effect
an amendment to paragraph 3 of Article 12.
(d) The Mexican amendment to Article 11 (page 9) also should be taken
up in connection with paragraph 3, if it has not previously been disposed
of, since it also deals with the organization of joint enterprises.
Proposed Additions to Article 12
Mexico (page 21) has proposed four paragraphs to replace Article 12.
Paragraph 1 of the Mexican amendment has been considered in connection with
paragraph 1 of Article 12. Similarly, paragraph 4 of the Mexican amendment
has been considered in connection with paragraph 3 of Article 12.
Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Mexican amendment cover new subjects not now
dealt with in Article 12, relating respectively to the legal status and
diplomatic protection of foreign investments and to the transfer of income
from foreign investments.
Chile (page 19) has proposed an amendment to facilitate undeveloped
countries to obtain loans from Members with favourable balance of payments.
Chile (page 20, bottom) has also proposed that the ITO should establish
organs "to effect contact between capitalists... .and enterprises requiring
capital. This amendment and the additional paragraph on taxation proposed
by Costa Rica (page 21) have been referred to the Joint Sub-Committee of
Committees II and VI.
Proposed Deletion of Article 12
See the amendments of India and Burma (page 24), referred to above.
The delegation of Brazil have stated that they would favour the adoption
of a set of principles regulating foreign investment. They would, however,
also support the United States amendment to paragraph 2 if the word "may"
were substituted for the word "shall" with a consequential change in the
wording of paragraph 1. |

The most far reaching amendments are those proposed by India (page 24)*

these amendments we have fundamental proposals on paragraph 2 by the
United States (page 17) and by Ceylon, Venezuela and Uruguey (page 16). Since
the amendments proposed to paragraph 2 would basically change the present
Article, consideration of the amendments of India and Burma for deletion of
the entire Article might be deferred until the substantial amendments
proposed to paragraph 2 are discussed.
Paragraph 1
1. Uruguay (page 14) has proposed to retain only the first part of the first

ARTICLE 21: RESTRICTIONS TO SAFEGUARD THE BALANCE
OF PAYMENTS
NOTE FROM THE DELEGATION OF CHILE
The Working Party of Sub-Committee E of the Third Committee, composed
of representatives of Ceylon, Chile, France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom
and the United States of America, which examined the Chilean amendment to
Article 20, Unanimously agreed on the following solution which was
provisionally accepted by Chile. Chile was to withdraw its amendment to
Article 20 provided that certain changes were made in Article 21, and
pending the definitive text of other Articles in the Charter.
It should be noted that the Third Committee, during its meeting held
on 17 February 1948 (document E/CONF.2/C.3/SR.38) decided to discuss
Article 21 on the basis of the text submitted by the Sub-Committee on the
understanding that the question of a further amendment to Article 21 could
be re-opened at a later stage by the Members of the Working Party referred
to above.
The delegation of Chile has received the necessary instructions from
its government and would be ready to withdraw its amendment to Article 20
provided that, in accordance with the agreement reached by the Working Party
and given above, the sentence at the end of sub-paragraph 4 (b), preceding
sub-paragraph (i), and ending "such a Member may experience such pressure
on its monetary reserves as to justify restrictions under sub-paragraph 3 (a)
of this Article", be replaced by the following:
"such a Member may find that demands for foreign exchange on
account of imports and other, current payments are absorbing
the foreign exchange resources currently available to it in
such a manner as to exercise pressure on its monetary reserves
which would justify the institution or maintenance of restrictions
under paragraph 3 of this Article".
/The delegation Page 2
The delegation of Chile therefore requests that the Third Committee
re-open its examination of Article 21 in order to consider the proposal
quoted above.

THIRD COMMITTEE: COMMERCIAL POLICY
SUB-COMMITTEE C GENERAL COMMERCIAL PROVISIONS
(Articles 32 - 39)
ARTICLE 35 - ANTI-DUMPING AND COUNTERVAILlNG DUTIES
REPORT OF THE WORKING PARTY TO SUB-COMMITTEE C
1. As members of the Sub-Committee considered the matter to be of importance
to all members of the conference the Chairman of Sub-Committee C of
Committee III was requested to arrange for circulation as an official document
of the reports of a Working Party set up by the Sub-Committee to consider the
various issues raised in relation to Article 33.
The report set out hereunder is a consolidation of two reports made by
the Working Party. Both reports were adopted by the Sub-Committee at its
meeting held on 16 January 1948.
The original members of the Working Party were the representatives of
Cuba, Lebanon, the United Kingdom and the United States. Later the
representative of the Netherlands was added and the representative of
Australia was appointed as Chairman. The representative of Brazil, although
not a member of Sub-Committee C, participated in the discussion in the
Working Party.
2. When presenting the second report the Chairman of the Working Party
included in his remarks the following statement:
"I would like to point out that the recommendations of the
Working Party do not in many cases represent the original view
of each individual member of the Working Party in his capacity
as a representative of a particular country. They represent a
compromise which the individual members are prepared to recommend
because they consider that those recommendations represent a
formula which reflects as nearly as possible the view of the
majority of the members of the Sub-Committee and of the other
members of this conference who have been sufficiently interested
in the question of anti-dumping and countervailing duties to
state their views before this Sub-Committee".
/CONSOLIDATION OF THE E/CONF.2/C .3/C/18
Page 2
CONSOLIDATION OF TEE REPORTS OF WORKING PARTY ON ARTICLE 33
3. The Working Party, under its terms of reference, was Instructed to
consider the following matters, viz.:
(i) A form of words which should be placed as a preamble to
Article 33 and which would, in effect, constitute a
general condemzation of the practice of dumping;
(ii) The question of a definition of dumping, particularly
as to whether the present definition of the 'margin
of 'dumping' could not be so amended by mere drating
of changes as to. be, in effect, a definition of
'price dumping;
(iii), ,Whether this Article should,.as it does at present,
be restricted to relate soley to so-called
`price dumping
(iv)Whether paragraph 6 should be deleted or amended in
the event that it could be interpreted so as to
limit action permitted under Articles 13 and 14
(v) Thefootnote to paragraph 6;
(vi) Whether 'hidden dumping' as described in the footnote
to pragraph 1 is covered by. the text of paragraph 1
and in the event that it is not so covered to consider.
whether the note or the text should be amended;
(v ii) A.new paragraph proposed by the representative of Brazil
relating to procedures for insuring collection of
anti-dumping duties; in cases of suspected or apparent
dumping;
(viii) A new paragraph proposed by the representative of the .
,,Netherlands to provide facilities for cansultatton between
members on questions related to dumping;
(ix) A new paragraph, to replace paragraph 6, proposed by the
representative of Argentine to allow members in excaptional
circumstances, to use measures other. than. anti-dumping duties
against dumping.
4. Items (i) and.(ii)
After examining the first two points in the light of the discussions
in Sub-Committee. C and a written proposal. submitted by the delegate of the
Netherlands the working Party was able to.reach agreement on a from of
.words which would provide a general condemnation of the practice of dumping,
together with a. definition, of price dumping'. The text proposed by the
/Working Party, E/CONF.2/C.3/C/18
Page 3
Working Party, which would replace paragraph 1 of the present Article, is
shown as the Annex to this report. With reference to the word `industry
in paragraph 1 of the text, the Working-Party wish to' make it clear that
in their intention the word industry includes such forms of economic
activity as agriculture, foreatry, mining, etc., as well as manfacuturing.
5, Item (iii)
It was8 the unanimous opinion of the Working Party, after full
consideration of the discussion in the Sub-Committee, that Article 33
should be restricted to :price dumping'.
6. Item(iv)
The Working Party was evenly divided as to whether the terms of
pargraph (6) could. be construed as limiting the rights of Members Under
Articles 13 and 14. It was in agreement, however, that paragraph (6) was
unnecessary and that its deletion would not effect any change in substance.
The Working Party therefore recommends that Sub-Committee C suggest the
deletion of paragraph (6) with a clear statement in its report to so
Committee III that the deletion is not to be understood& as meating that
measures other than anti-dumping or countervailing duties 'may be applied
in cases of dumping or subsidization except as such other measure are
permitted under various provisions of the Charter.
7. Item (v)
If the foregoing suggestion is adopted, the Note of the Geneva Draft
will no longer be necessary.
8. Item (vi)
After careful consideration the Working Party concluded- that the case
of hidden dumping as described in the terms of reference, is covered by
the text of paragraph 1, but that the Note requires clarification as to
the basis for calculating the margin of dumping. It is therefore suggested
that the following addition should be made to the Note:
"in which the margin of dumping may be calculated on the basis-
of the price at which the goods are re-sold by the importer."
Further the Working Party suggested that the slight verbal changes in
this Note as it appears in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade might
be adopted by the Sub-Committee, so that the Note would appear as follows;
Hidden dumping by associated houses (that is, a sale by an
importer at a price below that corresponding to the price invoiced
by an exporter with whom the importer is associated, and also below
the price 'in the exporting country) constitutes a form of price
dumping in which the margin of dumping may be calculated on the
basis of the price at which the goods are resold by the importer.".
/9. Item (-vii) E/CONF.2/C 3/C/18
Page 4
9,. Items (vii)
After considering the new paragraph proposed by the representative of
Brazil at the sub-Committee meeting on 9 January, together with a modification
or this proposal suggested by the representative of Pakistan at the
Sub-Committee meeting on 12 January, the Working Party recommended
unanimously the inclusion of a Note to Article 33 in the follwing terms:
"As in many other cases in Customs administration, a Member
may require reasonable security (bond or cash deposit) for the
payment of anti-dumping or countervailing duty pending final
determination of the facts in any case of suspected dumping or
subsidizeatiom".
10. Item ( viii)
In connecticn with the new paragraph proposed by him in the paper
submitted to the Sub-Committee on 9 January the representative of the
Netherlands pointed out that the proposal was intended to: .
(a) provide facilities for consultation between Members in
cases of suspected dumping before anti-dumping duties are
actually brought into operation
(b) to provide facilities for consulation between two
countries, where one of them is considered by the other
to be dumping in a third country, before recourse is
made to the Organization in accordance with the second
sentence of paragraph 5.
(c) to bring Article 33 into line with Article 25 where
provision is made for consultation with regard to subsidies.
The other members of the Working Party considered, however, that the position
with regard to consultation was adequately dealt with in Article 41 and
Article 89 and they felt that their opinion reflected the opinion of the
maJority of the members of Sub-Committee C in view of the decision of the
Sub-Committee when dealing with the proposal of the Danish delegation
(contained in Item 18 of the E/CONF.2/C.3/10).
11. Item (ix)
The representative of Argentine proposed to replace the text of
Paragraph 6 with the following paragraph:
"In, exceptional circumstances in which the anti-dumping
measures envisaged in this article prove inadequate the country
affected may adopt any other defensive measures provided for
in its legislation and shall inform the Organization the eof'
/As it affected E/CONF.2/lC.3/C/18
Page 5
As it affected. several of them, this proposal was considered in relation
to the various issues raised. None of the members of the Working Party
favoured the inclusion of a provision on the lines of the Argentine
amendment and therefore the Working Party recommended against the adoption
of the Argentine proposal.
The Working Party considered that in paragraph 5 the words "prerent or"
appearing before "materially retard" are redundant and therefore should be
deleted.
13. In their proceedings the Working Party took into full consideration,
insofar as they lay within their terms of reference, the amendments tabled
by Argentina,. China, Cuba, India, Pakistan, Mexico, Syria and Lebanon and
the proposals made and the views expressed by members of the Sub-Committee
and by other delegates who presented their views during the discussions in
the sub-Committee.
14. The Working Party feels that if its proposals are adopted Article 33
will appropriately cover the case of dumping.
15. The text of paragraphs 1 and 2 is given in the Annex to this report. E/CONF.2/C.3/ |18
Page 6
ANNEX'
Article 33
Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties
1. The Members recognize that dumping, by which products of one country are
introduced into the commerce of another country at less than the normal value
of the products, is to be condemned if it causes or threatens material injury
to an established industry in a Member country or materially retards the
establishment of a domestic industry. For the purposes of this Article a
product is to be considered as being introduced into the commerce of an
importing country at less than its normal value, if the price of the product
exported from the one country to the other:
(a) is less than the comparable price, in the ordinary course of trade,
for the like product when destined for consumption in the exorting
country .or,
(b) in the absence of such domestic price, is less than either
(i): the highest comparable price for the like product for export
to any third country in the ordinary course of trade, or
(ii) the cost of production of the product in the country of
origin plus a reasonable addition for selling cost and profit.
Due allowance shall be made in each case for differences in conditions
and terms of sale, for differences in taxation, and for other differences
affecting price comparability.
2. In order to offset or prevent dumping, a Member may levy on any
dumped product an anti-dumping duty not greater in amount than the margin
of dumping in respect of such product. For the purposes of this Article,
the margin of dumping is the price difference determined in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article.

Australia: Suggested Changes in the Norwegian Redraft of Article 38
The delegation of Australia wishes to suggest the following changes in
the Norwegian redraft of Article 38 as given in document
E/CONF.2/C.3/10/Add.3.
1. Members shall communicate promptly to the Organization or to such
agency as may be agreed upon by the Organization in consultation with the
United Nations, the statistics relating to their external trade (imports,
exports, re-exports, governmental revenue from duties and other taxes levied
on imports and exports, and payments of subsidies directly affecting such
external trade). Such statistics shall be as detailed as is reasonably
practicable and shall be in such form as to reveal the operation of
restrictions on trade [under each tariff item] and shall be related to tariff
classifications.
4. The Organization shall arrange to obtain such other statistical
information as it may require for its operations through the statistical
services of the United Nations and the specialized agencies in accordance
with the agreement [s] negotiated with the United Nations under Article 84
of this Charter, or in other circumstances from Members. |

ARTICLE 43
The delegations of Guatemala and Uruguay have propllosed the foowing
amendment to paragraph 2 of Article 43 as it appeNars in E/COF.2/C1.3/37/Corr..
The following new sub-paragraph should be inserted and the existing paragraph
should be called "(b)":
"(a) Measures instituted or maintained under paragraph 1 (a) (iii)
shall be communicated, with a statement of reasons, to a Technical
Commission to be established in accordance with the provisions of
Article 79. The said Commission shall take cognizance of such claims
as may be put forward by any Member considering that its interests are
prejudiced."
The following statement is given in support of this proposal:
"The reasons for this proposal are sufficiently clear and simple.
Not only 4e the agricultural countries faced with provisions of the
Charter that specifically authorize adoption of restrictisve measure
in respect of their products by countries which are not aagriculturI,J
but by applying the clause of Article 43 which it is proposed to
amend, a State could un?ilaterally eny entry through its customs to
all agricultural or stock breeding imports.
"The high aims of those who drafted the Geneva text are clearly
apparent and these aims are also shared by the present writers. But
it would be worthwhile considering the advisability of regulating the.
scope of this provision.
"The exports of the industrial countries are fully protected
by many provisions and we believe it would be well worth considering
this other class. of exports
"The proposed Technical Commission would not act as a court of
guardians but in an advisory capacity. Through the information, which
Members having recourse to Article 43 would be obliged to supply, the
Commission would soon be in possession of really adequate evidence on
which to issue an opinion on cases in dispute.
"It may be argued that the matter we are dealing with is covered
by the Charter, since Article 79 provides that 'the Conference shall
/ establish Page 2
establish such Commissions as may be required for the performance of
the functions of the Organization' etc., and that as the preamble to
Article 43 lays down that the measures authorized therein shall not
be 'applied in a manner which would constitute a means of arbitrary
or unjustifiable discrimination' or. 'a. disguised restriction on
International trade', the means of ensuring compliance with the
provision is specifically that which we propose. Nevertheless, we
believe that nothing will be lost and, on the contrary, much will be
gained if the procedure is clearly established.
"Moreover, the amendment makes detailed information on restrictive
measures compulsory, although no binding character is given to the
opinion of the Commission." |
