NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY MEASURES
Addendum
The following communication, dated 4 June 2003, has been received from Mexico.
_______________
Cancellation of Emergency Mexican Official Standard NOM-EM-041-FITO-2003 Establishing the
Phytosanitary Requirements and Specifications for Imported Beans for Consumption, Published on 4
April 2003
The Government of Mexico hereby informs Members of the World Trade Organization that,
given that the countries from which beans are imported into Mexican national territory have stepped
up their pre-export measures for monitoring and controlling the phytosanitary quality of beans for
consumption and that no cases of quarantine pests have been reported in Mexico, it considers that the
circumstances which gave rise to the aforementioned Standard no longer exist.
In the light of the above, the Government of Mexico, through the Ministry of Agriculture,
Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA), published in the Diario Oficial de
la Federación  (Official Journal) of 23 May 2003 the “Notice of Cancellation of Emergency Mexican
Official Standard NOM-EM-041-FITO-2003 Establishing the Phytosanitary Requirements and
Specifications for Imported Beans for Consumption, published in the Official Journal of 4 April 2003”.
This Notice of Cancellation entered into force on the working day following its publication in the
Official Journal, namely 26 May 2003.
The text of this Regulation and the Notice of Cancellation may be obtained by sending an E-
