ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
Information on impact of any TBT Notifications
on Chemical Industry & trade to take it up in WTO consultations
|
Dear Members,
Chemexcil is in receipt of letter from Export Inspection Council, letter no. 11032/1/2022-IC dated 16th August-2022 on above subject.
You will appreciate that with the globalization of trade, it has become quite imperative that we should know about the changes made or planned by our trading partners in their import regime through Technical Regulations, Standards and Conformity Assessment Procedures, as early as possible.
This gives our industry & other stakeholders time not only to prepare themselves for the proposed changes but also to react to it in case the proposed change is viewed as WTO non-compliant.
The TBT Notifications are important source of such information on changes in regulatory requirements and measures undertaken by the WTO members and such notifications need to be continuously monitored, examined and analysed to evaluate their impact on our industry and trade.
In view of the above, the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, has assigned the task of monitoring and analysis of TBT Notifications issued by WTO member countries in terms of their impact on Indian industry and trade.
You may appreciate the fact that stakeholders (Members) feedback is going to be extremely important in this entire exercise not only for understanding the impact of any TBT Notifications on Chemical industry & trade but also in preparation of India's view points in WTO consultations.
Hence, member exporters are requested to pay proper attention to such TBT Notifications. The responses/comments, if any, may be provided in below format:
