NOTIFICATION OF REPLIES TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE ON IMPORT
LICENSING PROCEDURES FROM VENEZUELA
Questions from the UNITED STATES to VENEZUELA1
The following communication, dated 10 May 2001, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the United States.
_______________
In G/LIC/N/2/VEN/2, da ted 27 February 2001, Venezuela has again notified a change in its
licensing system without having notified the system itself nor responded to the Import Licensing
Questionnaire, as called for in Articles 1.4, 7.3 and 8.2 of the WTO Agreement on Import Licensing
Procedures.
- We thank Venezuela for the inform ation contained in  G/LIC/Q/VEN/1;
- At the last meeting we suggested that Venezuela provide both copies of its legislation and
responses to the questionnaire, as required in Articles 1.4, 7.3, 8.2, so that they can be
reviewed at the next meeting of the Committee.  We renew this request.
- In addition, we note that Venezuela's submissions to date relate solely to the TRQs negotiated
on agricultural products during the Uruguay Round.  We believe that Venezuela maintains
other import licensing requirements, both for health and safety and for other purposes.
- We request that Venezuela also notify these licensing requirements and provide the
Committee with information on their scope and administration.
