TASK #4: "DELEGATIONS WILL SUBMIT PROPOSALS FOR THE ELABORATION
OF A FORMAT FOR COUNTER-NOTIFICATIONS"
Canada refers to its first submission on the issue of NTMS (FTAA.ngma/w/20) which suggested that a Reverse Notification procedure should also be implemented "once countries have had an opportunity to review other countries' notifications and to identify instances where they may consider that other countries have not notified particular measures".
For uniformity purposes, the Reverse Notification form could be similar to the Self Notification reporting format (for example, see ngma/w/20).
Reverse Notification of Non-Tariff Measures
Country Notified:
Country Initiating:
Description/Outline of Measure: Brief description of the measure.
Purpose, Coverage and Impact:
What products are covered, including its numbers if applicable or known. What are the trade effects of the measure.
Administrative Procedures:
How was the measure administered. Which agency/department appears to be responsible for the measure and how was it applied. Were there fees or administrative charges.
