Corrigendum
Please note the following changes, shown here in  bold and italics, requested by the delegation
of Peru:
Paragraph 131 should read:131. "Noting his delegation's support for the joint stat ement, the representative of Peru noted that
his country had participated in the suspended negotiations on maritime transport and would continue
the current negotiations with enthusiasm.  He felt that it was crucial for all countries to participate in
the negotiations without any a priori  exclusions, and in this regard, supported the position expressed
by the United States.  He also sought to highlight the comprehensive approach contained in the joint
statement, which was important for other aspects of  economies  the Peruvian economy . He said that
for developing countries the inclusion of mode 4 was an important element of the process of
liberalizing the cluster of  international maritime transport services.  He noted that services suppliers
required better market access in terms of maritime  transport, repair and maintenance, crews, and
technically qualified personnel trained in maritime activities.  All of these aspects should be
incorporated into the specific commitments that would be negotiated in the future.  Lastly, he
emphasised that Peru had undertaken a major reform in opening its international maritime transport
services in a framework of progressive liberalization as established in Articles IV and XIX of the
GATS.
