Market access for
non-agricultural products
Negotiations on non-agricultural market access (NAMA)
were put on hold in 2013 as WTO members awaited the
outcome of December’s Ministerial Conference in Bali.
The prevailing view was that any deepening of divisions
over NAMA could harm the chances of a deal in Bali on
trade facilitation. Negotiating Group Chair Remigi Winzap
declared that, with success in Bali, NAMA “should again
come to the forefront”.
Ambassador Winzap, who assumed chairmanship of the
Negotiating Group in November 2012, spent his first few months
consulting with WTO members to see if there was an appetite
to re-launch the deadlocked NAMA negotiations. However, he
concluded that it was still too soon. “The main message I got
from my consultations was: ‘Don’t rock the boat to Bali’,” he said
in a report circulated in April 2013. On tariffs, he observed: “The
view of several members was that the situation which had led
to the logjam in 2011 prevailed still today. There had been no
fundamental shift in the position of the major players. Therefore,
the report of the TNC [Trade Negotiations Committee] Chair,
which was issued in 2011 reflecting that deadlock, remained
valid today.”
On non-tariff barriers (NTBs), Mr Winzap noted that the position
was more nuanced. While there was readiness in some quarters
to discuss technical issues pertaining to NTBs, a view was
also expressed that “unambiguous engagement on tariffs” was
required before addressing NTBs.
Mr Winzap concluded his report by indicating that he would
be “attentive to the Bali process” and would return to the
membership when he felt that there was the “right momentum to
work on integrating NAMA in a post-Bali agenda.”
