DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION: "DOHA ROUND" — INVITATION TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ON MARKET ACCESS FOR NON-AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

The Government of Canada is seeking the views of Canadians on market access for non-agricultural products in the current "Doha Round" of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations. "Non-agricultural products" refers to the full range of "industrial" goods, including forest and fisheries products. At the November 2001 ministerial meeting that launched the Round, Canada's position was based on consultations that had been taking place since the lead-up to the Seattle Ministerial in 1999. Comments received in this current consultation will be used to further refine Canada's position.

At the WTO Doha ministerial meeting, ministers agreed that the new negotiations would include the objective of reducing or eliminating tariffs, including the reduction or elimination of tariff peaks, high tariffs, and tariff escalation, as well as non-tariff barriers. At least initially, product coverage will be comprehensive; specific negotiating modalities were left for later agreement. The Round also includes market access negotiations in agriculture and services.

1. Tariff Barriers

A tariff is a duty or "tax" levied upon goods transported across borders for the purpose of protecting a domestic market or generating revenue. Although significant tariff liberalization has taken place as a result of past international trade negotiations, one of Canada's main objectives will be to address important tariff barriers that remain in numerous markets and in many sectors of export interest. For example, some current "bound" (WTO maximum) tariff rate averages for non-agricultural products are: India: 59 percent; Turkey: 41 percent; Indonesia: 39 percent; Colombia: 36 percent; Venezuela: 34 percent; Romania: 34 percent; Argentina: 31 percent; Brazil: 30 percent; Thailand: 28 percent; and Philippines: 25 percent. (Quad figures are: Canada 5.3 percent; EU 4.1 percent; Japan 3.6 percent; USA 3.8 percent). "Applied" rate averages in most developing countries are usually lower than the "bound" averages; for the Quad members, bound and applied rates are usually the same.

Canada's position is that market access negotiations on industrial tariffs should be comprehensive, so as to provide an opportunity for improved market access on the broadest front possible. In this regard, Canada's main objectives will include:

(1) expanding the scope of tariff bindings by WTO Members;
(2) reducing high bound rates and rebinding them at lower rates;
(3) expanding the scope of duty-free trade;
(4) eliminating nuisance tariffs (e.g. those less than about 2 percent); and
(5) maximizing the use of ad valorem (percentage) rates.

We also favour broadening participation in the existing sectoral tariff agreements, under which tariff rates are bound at zero for participating (mainly developed) countries.

These so-called "zero-for-zero" agreements cover: agricultural equipment; beer; brown spirits; civil aircraft; construction equipment; information technology products; medical equipment; office furniture; pharmaceuticals; pulp and paper products; steel; and toys. (Another agreement covering chemicals is a "harmonization" agreement, under which rates range from zero to 6.5 percent). In this new Round, we will look to expand participation in the existing agreements, especially by the newly industrialized countries, and will promote the negotiation of additional zero-for-zero agreements.

Negotiating Modalities

In order to take into account the interests of all WTO Members, tariff reductions might best be achieved through a combination of approaches, or "modalities," including: sectoral agreements; requests and offers; and "formula" cuts (e.g. an overall percentage cut, within which other levels of reductions could be agreed on specific products).

2. Non-Tariff Measures

Measures other than tariffs such as customs valuation, quantitative restrictions and import licensing may restrict international trade. Canada's objectives include further efforts to reduce and/or remove existing trade-distorting non-tariff measures (NTMs) and to discourage and prevent the implementation of new ones. This might be done by augmenting and improving existing rules, developing additional disciplines or negotiating specific measures on a case-by-case basis. Our overriding objective would be to establish or improve rules and disciplines that curtail inappropriate barriers and complement the trade facilitation agenda, while allowing governments to apply legitimate measures in support of valid objectives (i.e. protecting human, animal and plant life or health) in the least trade-restrictive manner possible.

3. Time Lines

The proposed time lines for the next year and a half are currently the following:

— identification of, and proposals for, tariff and NTM modalities to be submitted by fall 2002, with the "analytical phase" to run to spring 2003;

— agreement on modalities for tariff and NTM negotiations by spring 2003, with the date for initial offers to be determined once modalities are identified; and

— negotiations from spring 2003 to October 2004, including a progress report to the 5th Ministerial Meeting in September 2003.

5. Submissions

Interested parties are invited to submit their views by September 16, 2002. Please be advised that any information we receive as a result of these consultations may be considered and treated as publicly available information unless it is clearly specified that the submission is to be held in confidence by the Government. Submissions should be sent to the attention of: Anne Cox, Tariffs and Market Access Division, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, 125 Sussex Drive, Tower C, 3rd Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2, anne.cox@dfait-maeci.gc.ca (Electronic mail).
