NOTIFICATION OF CATEGORY COMMITMENTS UNDER  
THE AGREEMENT ON TRADE FACILITATION  
COMMUNICATION FROM GUINEA  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 26 July 2022, is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of Guinea for Members' information.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Following up on the notification submitted on 13 February 2020 (G/TFA/N/GIN/1), in accordance 
with Article 16.3 of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), the Republic of Guinea hereby notifies 
that it requires addi tional time to submit its definitive dates for category C provisions.  
 
Accordingly, the Republic of Guinea asks the WTO Committee on Trade Facilitation to consider 
extending until 22 June 2023 the deadline for the Republic of Guinea to notify its definitiv e dates for 
category C provisions.  
 
The Government of the Republic of Guinea is fully committed to the effective implementation of the 
TFA and is taking the necessary measures to that end. It has already notified the definitive dates for 
category B measure s and the indicative dates for category C measures. It has also established a 
national trade facilitation committee, which is operational and already receiving support from certain 
technical and financial partners to ensure its proper functioning.  
 
The Government is currently working on setting definitive dates for category C measures, although 
it is difficult. The implementation of category C measures requires technical assistance from donor 
country Members, which is also important for finalizing the de finitive dates.  
 
This also requires consultations at a broader level with national stakeholders and donors. This work 
may take more time to be concluded amid the critical resurgence of the COVID -19 pandemic.  
 
Against this backdrop, the extended deadline wo uld provide the necessary time for the finalization 
of the dates through constructive discussions and consultations at a broader level.
