  • General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    / RESTRICTED C/W/362 GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 29 May 1981 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution REGIONAL AGREEMENTS Calendar of Biennial Reports for Examination At their twenty-seventh session the CONTRACTING PARTIES instructed the Council to establish a calendar fixing dates for the examination, every two years, of the reports on regional agreements (SR.27/12, page 167). In November 1978 the Council agreed on a time-table covering the period April 1979-October 1980 (L/4725). In order to assist the Council in establishing a new calendar, there is herewith attached a table showing various agreements, the dates on which the last biennial reports were submitted or, if applicable, the dates of the reports of the relevant working parties. On the basis of these data a tentative calendar has been suggested for the submission of reports. The table does not include agreements in respect of which the question of biennial reporting was not decided by the Counci I. The listing has been prepared without prejudice to the possibility that certain agreements among developing countries may be covered by the Decision on Differential and More Favourable Treatment, Reciprocity and Fuller Participation of Developing Countries ("enabling clause") (BISD 26S/203). It might be noted in this respect that the Committee on Trade and Development has primary responsibility for super­ vision of the implementation of that Decision. (3ISD 26S/219) When establishing a new time-table, the Council will be aware that some of the agreements listed may be renegotiated in the ensuing period. The time-table may, therefore, be revised as appropriate.
