ARTICLE  XXIV:6 NEGOTIATIONS  
COMMUNICATION FROM ARMENIA  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 12 October  2020, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Armenia.  
 
_______________  
 
 
In connection with the Treaty of Accession of the Republic of Armenia to the Eurasian Economic 
Union (EAEU) which was signed on 10  October  2014, and the entry into force of the EAUE  Common 
Customs Tariff (CCT) on 2  January  2015; and in view of ensuring that Members reserve their rights 
pending the communication to the WTO  Secretariat of the agreements reached in the context of 
Article  XXIV:6 (GATT), Armenia believes that it is desirable to provide for an extension of 12  months  
(that is, until 2  January  2022).  
 
As a consequence, and in cont inuation of Armenia's notification of 23  October  2014 (G/SECRET/37) 
concerning its accession to the EAEU, as well as the notification of 29  December  2014 
(WT/REG363/N/1 and S/C/N/790), Armenia wishes hereby to inform that it will not assert that 
WTO Member s who have submitted a claim pursuant to Article  XXIV:6 of the GATT  1994 are 
precluded from withdrawing substantially equivalent concessions under Article  XXVIII:3 of the 
GATT  1994 because this withdrawal occurs later than six  months after Armenia's withdr awal of 
concessions (2  January  2015), provided that the claiming WTO  Member withdraws concessions no 
later than 84 months after Armenia's modification of concessions.
