Notification
Notification: an obligation to report to the relevant body of the WTO the adoption of trade measures that might have an effect on the members of the agreement it administers. Notifying promotes transparency and assists surveillance. Notifying has no bearing on whether the measure itself will be judged to be in conformity with the rules. The Decision on Notification Procedures taken at Marrakesh in April 1994 contains an illustrative list of twenty types of notifiable measures as follows: tariffs, tariff quotas and surcharges, quantitative restrictions (including voluntary export restraints and orderly marketing arrangements), other non-tariff measures such as licensing and mixing requirements and variable levies, customs valuation, rules of origin, government procurement, technical barriers, safeguard actions, anti-dumping actions, countervailing actions, export taxes, export subsidies, export tax exemptions, concessionary export financing, free-trade zones (including in-bond manufacturing), export restrictions, any other government assistance, role of state-trading enterprises, foreign exchange controls related to imports and exports, government-mandated countertrade, etc. In drawing up the list, negotiators have cast a wide net, and few measures could in principle escape it. The WTO Secretariat maintains a list of all notified measures and reminds members when they have to put in a standard notification. See also reverse notification, surveillance and transparency.
