CANADA-ISRAEL FREE TRADE AGREEMENT
Questions and Replies
This document reproduces questions addressed to the Parties and the joint responses provided
by them.  The questions and replies set out below are organized in accordance with document
WT/REG31/5.
_______________
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE AGREEMENT
3. Scope
We note that the Parties claim that the Agreement covers substantially all trade in
agriculture products.  Could the Parties explain this further given;
- the selective coverage of the list of products in annex 2.1.2;- the tariff quota limitations on trade in the products listed in annex 2.1.2b which,
while "covered" by the agreement, do not re sult in the elimination of barriers as
required in Article XXIV;
- in a number of cases, tariffs are not eliminated, but are simply reduced in order
to provide preference for trade between the Parties.
The Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement covers about 80 per cent of two-way trade in
agri-food products.
The Canada-Israel FTA provides for renewed negotiations in two years to pursue further trade
liberalization.  This could expand coverage of the Agreement.
For most of the products in annex 2.1.2B where there is a tariff rate quota, the Israeli applied
over quota duty rate is already free.  For information, this guarantees access for Canadian products
where the Israeli bound rate is significant.  Tariff rate quota products for which the applied rate is not
zero are:  0603.10, 0701.10, 0712, 0810.20, 0810.30, 0810.40, and 1008.30.
Can the Parties provide further trade data on the proportion of agriculture trade
between the Parties that is (or will be) completely free of tariff quotas, quantitative restrictions,
and tariffs?
Provide trade statistics for each of the fo llowing categories of treatment of trade in
agriculture products under the agreement:
- subject to complete tariff elimination;WT/REG31/5

- subject to preferential treatment but not full tariff elimination; and
- not covered
Total duty-free agricultural trade is as follows :

Provide the list of agriculture products not covered by the agreement by HS number .
A positive list of covered goods has been provided.
Can the Parties provide further details on any plans to expand the scope of the
agreement as provided in Article 11.5?
Article 11.5 of the Agreement provides that "...wit hin two years of the date of entry into force
of the Agreement, [the Parties] will enter into further discussions to seek additional means of
expanding the scope of liberalized trade in the free trade agreement through the further removal of
tariffs and other barriers to trade..."  Discussions are expected to begin later this year.WT/REG31/5

II. TRADE PROVISIONS
1. Import Restrictions
1.1 Duties and charges
How do the Parties reconcile the provision of preferential duties (in Annex 2.1.2b) with
the GATT requirements of Article I that precludes the introduction of new preferences, given
that Article XXIV only provides an exception  where barriers between the Parties are
eliminated?
Article XXIV:4 states that the purpose of a free-trade area should be to facilitate trade
between the constituent territories and not to raise barriers to the trade of other contracting partieswith such territories.  A free-trade area is understood to mean a group of two or more customs
territories in which the duties and other restrictive regulations of commerce are eliminated on
substantially all the trade between the Parties.
The Parties believe that the Article XXIV requirements have been met because the CIFTA
facilitates trade between Canada and Israel; the CIFTA does not raise barriers to non-CIFTA trade
partners; and substantially all trade in agricultural goods is covered by the Agreement.
2. Export Restrictions
2.2 Quantitative restrictions
Can the Parties explain how the exceptions from national treatment in Annex 4.1 are
consistent with the WTO, given that the grandfat hering of such measures terminated with the
entry into force of the WTO on 1 January 1995, and the termination of the protocol ofprovisional application of the GATT?
The provisions of Annex 4.1 of the Canada-Israel FTA are bilateral in nature and are
unrelated to our rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement.  The provisions of the CIFTA
being questioned are consistent with Article XXIV:8.
Can the Parties provide information on any non-tariff measures that apply to third
parties but which do not apply to between the Parties to the Agreement?
The CIFTA did not create any non-tariff measures that would apply to third parties and not to
Parties of the Agreement.
Do Parties plan to eliminate quantitative restrictions listed in Annex 4.1?  Were these
measures notified to the WTO?  Can the Part ies provide an indication of their economic
importance?
The Canadian and Israel quantitative restrictions listed in Annex 4.1 are longstanding policies
and are not affected by this Agreement.  Canada and Israel have yet to notify their respective lists of
quantitative restrictions; however, will endeavour to do so in an expeditious manner.
3. Rules of Origin
Can the Parties explain in more detail the relationship between the rules of origin in this
Agreement, and those in NAFTA and the United States (US)/Israel FTA?WT/REG31/5
Page 4
In order to take into account the situation where both Parties had entered into a free trade
agreement with the same third party (the US),  pr ior to the entry into force (1 January 1997) of the
Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, Article 3.6 of the Agreement provides that origin may be
conferred on goods imported into a Party from that third party, where such goods would qualify under
the rules of origin of the free trade agreement between the other Party and the third party and those
goods are used as materials in the production of a good for export to the other Party.
For example, US material used in a CIFTA originating good manufactured in Canada for
export to Israel may be treated as an originating material for the purposes of determining the origin of
the good, if that material qualifies as originating under the rules of origin of the US-Israel FTA.
Are there areas in the Agreement, other than rules of origin, which deal specifically with
the inter-relationship between this Agreement, NAFTA and the US/Israel FTA?
Article 5.12 deals with the administrative requirements of the inter-relationship of the CIFTA
with FTAs with a non-party.
4. Standards
Can the Parties provide more information on their plans to negotiate an agreement on
the mutual recognition of conformity assessment?
There are no talks underway between Canada and Israel on mutual recognition agreements.
Is there any intention to move to mutual recognition of packaging and labelling
standards applicable to food imports?
There are no discussions on this issue at the moment.
5. Safeguards
Can the Parties explain how they would act in implementing safeguards where the
problem imports are largely sourced from an FTA partner?  Would action be taken underArticle 4.5 or 4.6?
If "problem imports" were sourced largely from an FTA partner, remedial action can be taken
under Article 4.5 (Bilateral Emergency Action) or Article 4.6 (Global Emergency Action).
These Articles have been implemented into Canadian law and would underpin any action.
However, any remedial measure would be taken pu rsuant to the relevant domestic legislation.  In
Canada, a safeguard investigation can be initiated pursuant to a complaint from a domestic producer
or by reference from the Governor-in-Council to th e Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT).
The complaint or reference must note the appropriate section of Canadian domestic law (in this case,
the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act) under which it is being submitted.  There are separate
provisions for bilateral or global inquiries.
In a bilateral inquiry, the CITT would determine whether the goods that are entitled to the
benefit of the CIFTA are, as a result of that entitlement, being imported in such increased quantities
and under such conditions that they alone constitute a principal cause of serious injury or threat
thereof to domestic producers of like goods or directly competitive goods.  If there is an affirmativedetermination, remedial action can be taken.
In a global inquiry, the CITT would first have to determine whether imports from all sources
were a principal cause of serious injury or threat thereof to domestic producers of like goods orWT/REG31/5
Page 5
directly competitive goods.  If an affirmative determination is made on this issue, the CITT would
then have to determine whether: (a) the quantity of goods from its FTA partner accounts for a
substantial share of total imports; and, (b) whether the goods from its FTA partner contribute
importantly to serious injury or threat thereof.  If an affirmative determination is made on both of
these issues remedial action can be taken.
Similar considerations and procedures would be applied in Israel in a bilateral or global
inquiry.
Given that Article XIX is not specifically mentioned in Article XXIV:8(b), how do the
Parties justify three different measures which allow safeguard action against the FTA partner
alone, exclusion of the FTA partner from global  safeguard action, and  inclusion of the FTA
partner in global safeguard action?
The relationship between Article XIX and XXIV has been raised in past working party
examinations of free trade arrangements, including the examination of the Canada-United States
Free Trade Agreement and the North America Free Trade Agreement being discussed by the
WTO Committee on Regional Trade Agreements.  It has also been discussed in the Uruguay Roundnegotiating groups on GATT Articles and Safeguards.  The history of these debates, as well as this
current examination, shows that there is a lack of consensus among Members on this issue.
The position of the CIFTA Parties is that application of a bilateral safeguard action and/or the
exclusion from another CIFTA Party's applicati on of a global safeguard action under certain
circumstances, does not conflict with GATT Article XIX and the WTO Agreement on Safeguards in
the context of a free trade agreement under GATT Article XXIV.  The provisions of CIFTA
Articles 4.5 and 4.6 are consistent with the practices in place under other Article XXIV arrangements
that provide for the application of a bilateral safeguard action and/or the exemption of parties to a free
trade arrangement from global safeguard actions.
III. GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT
3. Dispute Settlement Procedures
We are interested in the provision which enables dispute action on matters covered by
the WTO and the FTA to be taken either in the FTA or the WTO but not both.  In a situation
where such a dispute is handled bilaterally, can the Parties provide an explanation of how they
would ensure:
- that benefits accruing to WTO Members under the WTO would not be nullified
or impaired (Article 3.5 of WTO U nderstanding on Dispute Settlement)?
- that the transparency requirements of Article 3.6 of the WTO Understanding on
Dispute Settlement are observed?
Article 3.5 provides that "all solutions to matters formally raised under consultation and
dispute settlement provisions of the covered agreements (i.e., in the WTO) .... shall be consistent with
those agreements and shall not nullify or impair benefits accruing to any Member under thoseagreements, nor impede the attainment of any objective of those agreements."
The choice of forum clause in the CIFTA provides that should a Party to the Agreement wish
to take a matter covered under both the CIFTA and the WTO, it must choose one to the exclusion of
the other.  If a matter is only covered under the CIFTA, then Article 3.6 does not apply since the
CIFTA is not a covered agreement under the WTO.WT/REG31/5
Page 6
Similarly, Article 3.6 also applies only to matters formally raised under the consultation and
dispute settlement provisions of the covered agreements (of the WTO).  As the CIFTA is not a
covered agreement, the transparency requirements of Article 3.6 would not apply.
IV. OTHER
Can the Parties provide an assurance that ther e has been no increase in the barriers to
trade of third countries as a consequence of the free trade agreement?
The CIFTA provides for the removal of duties on bilateral trade between Canada and Israel.
The Agreement was never intended to increase barriers to trade of third countries.
Have the Parties to the Agreement undertaken any studies that assess the possible trade
creation and trade diversion effects of this FTA?  If so, what were the results?
To this point, no studies have been undertaken to assess possible trade creation or diversion
effects of the CIFTA.  However, in creating a free-trade area, both Parties were careful to reduce
bilateral barriers without raising barriers for non-parties.
What plans have the Parties made to conduct ongoing assessments of the trade effects
that this FTA will have both on bilateral trade and the trade of each Party with third countries?
Trade between the Parties and with third countr ies is informally monitored and analyzed on
an on-going basis. Longer term studies will need to be performed in order to assess the full effect of
the Agreement.
Can the Parties clarify the purpose of the provision relating to the rules of precedence -
"in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and such other agreements...this
agreement shall prevail to the extent of th e inconsistency"?  Can the Parties provide an
indication of possible inconsistencies?  Does it relate to the issue of safeguard? How would the
Parties explain that those "inconsistent" pa rts are nonetheless consistent with the WTO?
Article 1.3 of the CIFTA states: "In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement
and such other agreements, this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement."
The WTO continues to apply in all respects between Canada and Israel in line with
Article XXIV.  Article 1.3 relates only to questions at issue between the Parties to the Agreement.It simply clarifies that, in so far as resolution of such questions is pursued under the provisions of the
Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement prevail over the provisions of any other agreement.
The CIFTA does not alter the rights and obligations of Canada or Israel with respect to each
other under the WTO.
Should resolution of any dispute between the Parties be pursued under the WTO or any of its
instruments, the issue would have to be decided in light of the provisions and obligations of the WTO
or the relevant plurilateral agreement.WT/REG31/5
Page 7
Services
Noting the limited coverage of the FTA in Article 4.8, do the Parties have any plans to
expand the Agreement to cover trade in services?
The Parties do not have any plans to expand the Agreement to cover trade in services at this
time.WT/REG31/5
