TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE – RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE
Note by the Secretariat
Following the request from the Committee, in October 2001 the Secretariat circulated a new
questionnaire designed to ascertain the technical assistance requirements of developing country
Members (G/SPS/W/113).  The responses received to this questionnaire from Members will be
circulated as addenda to this document.
The responses to the questionnaire do not prejudice the rights of Members to bring specific
requests to the attention of the Committee at any time in the future.  The questionnaire is intended to
offer developing country Members the possibility to present their specific needs in the SPS area in a
manner which helps to better ensure the provision of targeted and efficient technical assistance, and tohelp other Members and international organizations identify technical assistance requests to which
they may give favourable consideration.
