| 00-14512 | WTO Consultations Regarding Romania's Use of Minimum Import Prices for Customs Valuation Purposes | Notice | The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice that on May 31, 2000, the United States requested consultations with Romania under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO), regarding Romania's 1997 Customs Code (L141/1997) and Ministry of Finance General Customs Directive (Ordinance No. 5, 4 August 1998) and other related statutes and regulations. The United States alleges that Romania's customs code, directives, regulations and practice arbitrarily establish minimum and maximum import prices for such products as meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, clothing, footwear, and certain distilled spirits. Additionally, Romania has instituted burdensome procedures for investigating import prices when the C.I.F. value falls below the minimum import price. The United States considers that this practice is inconsistent with Articles 1 through 7, and 12 of the Agreement on Customs Valuation ("CVA"); general notes 1, 2, and 4 of Annex 1 of the CVA; Articles II, X, and XI of the GATT 1994; Article 4.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture; and Articles 2 and 7 of the Agreement of Textiles and Clothing. Pursuant to Article 4.3 of the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding ("DSU"), such consultations are to take place within a period of 30 days from the date of the request, or within a period otherwise mutually agreed between the United States and Romania. USTR invites written comments from the public concerning the issues raised in this dispute. | 2000-06-08 | 2000 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/06/08/00-14512/wto-consultations-regarding-romanias-use-of-minimum-import-prices-for-customs-valuation-purposes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-06-08/pdf/00-14512.pdf | Trade Representative, Office of United States | 491 | The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice that on May 31, 2000, the United States requested consultations with Romania under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO), regarding... |
