APPENDIX 4

Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and PhytosanitaryMeasures of the

World Trade Organization

April 15, 1994

Members,

Reaffirming that no Member should be prevented from adopting or enforcing measures necessary toprotect human, animal or plant life or health, subject to the requirement that these measures are not applied in amanner which would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between Members where thesame conditions prevail or a disguised restriction on international trade;

Desiring to improve the human health, animal health and phytosanitary situation in all Members;

Noting that sanitary and phytosanitary measures are often applied on the basis of bilateralagreements or protocols;

Desiring the establishment of a multilateral framework of rules and disciplines to guide thedevelopment, adoption and enforcement of sanitary and phytosanitary measures in order to minimize their negativeeffects on trade;

Recognizing the important contribution that international standards, guidelines andrecommendations can make in this regard;

Desiring to further the use of harmonized sanitary and phytosanitary measures betweenMembers, on the basis of international standards, guidelines and recommendations developed by the relevantinternational organizations, including the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the International Office of Epizootics, andthe relevant international and regional organizations operating within the framework of the International PlantProtection Convention, without requiring Members to change their appropriate level of protection of human, animal orplant life or health;

Recognizing that developing country Members may encounter special difficulties in complyingwith the sanitary or phytosanitary measures of importing Members, and as a consequence in access to markets, andalso in the formulation and application of sanitary or phytosanitary measures in their own territories, and desiring toassist them in their endeavors in this regard;

Desiring therefore to elaborate rules for the application of the provisions of GATT 1994 whichrelate to the use of sanitary or phytosanitary measures, in particular the provisions of Article XX(b)1;

Hereby agree as follows:

________________________________1 In this Agreement, reference to Article XX(b) includes also the chapeau of that Article.

2


Article 1

General Provisions

1. This Agreement applies to all sanitary and phytosanitary measures which may, directly or indirectly, affectinternational trade. Such measures shall be developed and applied in accordance with the provisions ofthis Agreement.

2. For the purposes of this Agreement, the definitions provided in Annex A shall apply.

3. The annexes are an integral part of this Agreement.

4. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rights of Members under the Agreement on Technical Barriersto Trade with respect to measures not within the scope of this Agreement.

Article 2

Basic Rights and Obligations

1. Members have the right to take sanitary and phytosanitary measures necessary for the protection ofhuman, animal or plant life or health, provided that such measures are not inconsistent with the provisionsof this Agreement.

2. Members shall ensure that any sanitary or phytosanitary measure is applied only to the extent necessaryto protect human, animal or plant life or health, is based on scientific principles and is not maintainedwithout sufficient scientific evidence, except as provided for in paragraph 7 of Article 5.

3. Members shall ensure that their sanitary and phytosanitary measures do not arbitrarily or unjustifiablydiscriminate between Members where identical or similar conditions prevail, including between their ownterritory and that of other Members. Sanitary and phytosanitary measures shall not be applied in a mannerwhich would constitute a disguised restriction on international trade.

4. Sanitary or phytosanitary measures which conform to the relevant provisions of this Agreement shall bepresumed to be in accordance with the obligations of the Members under the provisions of GATT 1994which relate to the use of sanitary or phytosanitary measures, in particular the provisions of Article XX(b).

Article 3

Harmonization

1. To harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures on as wide a basis as possible, Members shall basetheir sanitary or phytosanitary measures on international standards, guidelines or recommendations,where they exist, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and in particular in paragraph 3.

2. Sanitary or phytosanitary measures which conform to international standards, guidelines orrecommendations shall be deemed to be necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health, andpresumed to be consistent with the relevant provisions of this Agreement and of GATT 1994.

3. Members may introduce or maintain sanitary or phytosanitary measures which result in a higher level ofsanitary or phytosanitary protection than would be achieved by measures based on the relevantinternational standards, guidelines or recommendations, if there is a scientific justification, or as aconsequence of the level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection a Member determines to be appropriate inaccordance with the relevant provisions of paragraphs 1 through 8 of Article 5.2 Notwithstanding theabove, all measures which result in a level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection different from that whichwould be achieved by measures based on international standards, guidelines or recommendations shallnot be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement.

4. Members shall play a full part, within the limits of their resources, in the relevant internationalorganizations and their subsidiary bodies, in particular the Codex Alimentarius Commission, theInternational Office of Epizootics, and the international and regional organizations operating within theframework of the International Plant Protection Convention, to promote within these organizations thedevelopment and periodic review of standards, guidelines and recommendations with respect to allaspects of sanitary and phytosanitary measures.

5. The Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures provided for in paragraphs I and 4 of Article 12(referred to in this Agreement as the "Committee") shall develop a procedure to monitor the process ofinternational harmonization and coordinate efforts in this regard with the relevant internationalorganizations.

3


Article 4

Equivalence

1. Members shall accept the sanitary or phytosanitary measures of other Members as equivalent. even ifthese measures differ from their own or from those used by other Members trading in the same product, ifthe exporting Member objectively demonstrates to the importing Member that its measures achieve theimporting Member's appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection. For this purpose, reasonableaccess shall be given, upon request, to the importing Member for inspection, testing and other relevantprocedures.

2. Members shall, upon request, enter into consultations with the aim of achieving bilateral and multilateralagreements on recognition of the equivalence of specified sanitary or phytosanitary measures.

Article 5

Assessment of Risk and Determination of the Appropriate Levelof Sanitary or Phytosanitary Protection

1. Members shall ensure that their sanitary or phytosanitary measures are based on an assessment, asappropriate to the circumstances, of the risks to human, animal or plant life or health, taking into accountrisk assessment techniques developed by the relevant international organizations.

2. In the assessment of risks, Members shall take into account available scientific evidence; relevantprocesses and production methods; relevant inspection, sampling and testing methods; prevalence ofspecific diseases or pests; existence of pest- or disease-free areas; relevant ecological and environmentalconditions; and quarantine or other treatment.

3. In assessing the risk to animal or plant life or health and determining the measure to be applied forachieving the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection from such risk, Members shall takeinto account as relevant economic factors: the potential damage in terms of loss of production or sales inthe event of the entry, establishment or spread of a pest or disease; the costs of control or eradication inthe territory of the importing Member; and the relative cost-effectiveness of alternative approaches tolimiting risks.

4. Members should, when determining the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection, take intoaccount the objective of minimizing negative trade effects.

________________________________2 For the purposes of paragraph 3 of Article 3, there is a scientific justification if, on the basis of an

examination and evaluation of available scientific information in conformity, with the relevant provisions ofthis Agreement, a Member determines that the relevant international standards, guidelines orrecommendations are not sufficient to achieve its appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection.

4


5. With the objective of achieving consistency in the application of the concept of appropriate level ofsanitary or phytosanitary protection against risks to human life or health, or to animal and plant life orhealth, each Member shall avoid arbitrary or unjustifiable distinctions in the levels it considers to beappropriate in different situations, if such distinctions result in discrimination or a disguised restriction oninternational trade. Members shall cooperate in the Committee, in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2 and 3of Article 12, to develop guidelines to further the practical implementation of this provision. In developingthe guidelines, the Committee shall take into account all relevant factors, including the exceptionalcharacter of human health risks to which people voluntarily expose themselves.

6. Without prejudice to paragraph 2 of Article 3, when establishing or maintaining sanitary or phytosanitarymeasures to achieve the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection, Members shall ensurethat such measures are not more trade-restrictive than required to achieve their appropriate level ofsanitary or phytosanitary protection, taking into account technical and economic feasibility.3

7. In cases where relevant scientific evidence is insufficient, a Member may provisionally adopt sanitary orphytosanitary measures on the basis of available pertinent information, including that from the relevantinternational organizations as well as from sanitary or phytosanitary measures applied by other Members.In such circumstances, Members shall seek to obtain the additional information necessary for a moreobjective assessment of risk and review the sanitary or phytosanitary measure accordingly within areasonable period of time.

8. When a Member has reason to believe that a specific sanitary or phytosanitary measure introduced ormaintained by another Member is constraining, or has the potential to constrain, its exports and themeasure is not based on the relevant international standards, guidelines or recommendations, or suchstandards, guidelines or recommendations do not exist, an explanation of the reasons for such sanitary orphytosanitary measure may be requested and shall be provided by the Member maintaining the measure.

Article 6

Adaptation to Regional Conditions, Including Pest- or Disease-Free Areasand Areas of Low Pest or Disease Prevalence

1. Members shall ensure that their sanitary or phytosanitary measures are adapted to the sanitary orphytosanitary characteristics of the area - whether all of a country, part of a country, or all or parts ofseveral countries - from which the product originated and to which the product is destined. In assessingthe sanitary or phytosanitary characteristics of a region, Members shall take into account, inter alia, thelevel of prevalence of specific diseases or pests, the existence of eradication or control programmes, andappropriate criteria or guidelines which may be developed by the relevant international organizations.

2. Members shall, in particular, recognize the concepts of pest- or disease-free areas and areas of low pestor disease prevalence. Determination of such areas shall be based on factors such as geography,ecosystems, epidemiological surveillance, and the effectiveness of sanitary or phytosanitary controls.

3. Exporting Members claiming that areas within their territories are pest- or disease-free areas or areas oflow pest or disease prevalence shall provide the necessary evidence thereof in order to objectivelydemonstrate to the importing Member that such areas are, and are likely to remain, pest or disease-freeareas or areas of low pest or disease prevalence, respectively. For this purpose, reasonable access shallbe given, upon request, to the importing Member for inspection, testing and other relevant procedures.

________________________________3 For purposes of paragraph 6 of Article 5, a measure is not more trade-restrictive than required unless

there is another measure, reasonably available taking into account technical and economic feasibility, thatachieves the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection and is significantly less restrictive totrade.

5


Article 7

Transparency

Members shall notify changes in their sanitary or phytosanitary measures and shall provide information ontheir sanitary or phytosanitary measures in accordance with the provisions of Annex B.

Article 8

Control, Inspection and Approval Procedures

Members shall observe the provisions of Annex C in the operation of control, inspection and approvalprocedures, including national systems for approving the use of additives or for establishing tolerances forcontaminants in foods, beverages or feedstuffs, and otherwise ensure that their procedures are notinconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Article 9

Technical Assistance

1. Members agree to facilitate the provision of technical assistance to other Members, especially developingcountry Members, either bilaterally or through the appropriate international organizations. Such assistancemay be, inter alia, in the areas of processing technologies, research and infrastructure, including in theestablishment of national regulatory bodies, and may take the form of advice, credits, donations andgrants, including for the purpose of seeking technical expertise, training and equipment to allow suchcountries to adjust to, and comply with, sanitary or phytosanitary measures necessary to achieve theappropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection in their export markets.

2. Where substantial investments are required in order for an exporting developing country Member to fulfilthe sanitary or phytosanitary requirements of an importing Member, the latter shall consider providingsuch technical assistance as will permit the developing country Member to maintain and expand itsmarket access opportunities for the product involved.

Article 10

Special and Differential Treatment

1. In the preparation and application of sanitary or phytosanitary measures, Members shall take account ofthe special needs of developing country Members, and in particular of the least-developed countryMembers.

2. Where the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection allows scope for the phasedintroduction of new sanitary or phytosanitary measures, longer time-frames for compliance should beaccorded on products of interest to developing country Members so as to maintain opportunities for theirexports.

3. With a view to ensuring that developing country Members are able to comply with the provisions of thisAgreement, the Committee is enabled to grant to such countries, upon request, specified, time limitedexceptions in whole or in part from obligations under this Agreement, taking into account their financial,trade and development needs.

4. Members should encourage and facilitate the active participation of developing country Members in therelevant international organizations.

Article 11

Consultations and Dispute Settlement

1. The provisions of Articles XXII and XXIII of GATT 1994 as elaborated and applied by the DisputeSettlement Understanding shall apply to consultations and the settlement of disputes under thisAgreement, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

2. In a dispute under this Agreement involving scientific or technical issues, a panel should seek advice fromexperts chosen by the panel in consultation with the parties to the dispute. To this end, the panel may,when it deems it appropriate, establish an advisory technical experts group, or consult the relevantinternational organizations, at the request of either party to the dispute or on its own initiative.

3. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the rights of Members under other international agreements,including the right to resort to the good offices or dispute settlement mechanisms of other internationalorganizations or established under any international agreement.

Article 12

Administration

1. A Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures is hereby established to provide a regular forum forconsultations. It shall carry out the functions necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement andthe furtherance of its objectives, in particular with respect to harmonization. The Committee shall reach itsdecisions by consensus.

2. The Committee shall encourage and facilitate ad hoc consultations or negotiations among Members onspecific sanitary or phytosanitary issues. The Committee shall encourage the use of internationalstandards, guidelines or recommendations by all Members and, in this regard, shall sponsor technicalconsultation and study with the objective of increasing coordination and integration between internationaland national systems and approaches for approving the use of food additives or for establishingtolerances for contaminants in foods, beverages or feedstuffs.

3. The Committee shall maintain close contact with the relevant international organizations in the field ofsanitary and phytosanitary protection, especially with the Codex Alimentarius Commission, theInternational Office of Epizootics, and the Secretariat of the International Plant Protection Convention, withthe objective of securing the best available scientific and technical advice for the administration of thisAgreement and in order to ensure that unnecessary duplication of effort is avoided.

4. The Committee shall develop a procedure to monitor the process of international harmonization and theuse of international standards, guidelines or recommendations. For this purpose, the Committee should,in conjunction with the relevant international organizations, establish a list of international standards,guidelines or recommendations relating to sanitary or phytosanitary measures which the Committeedetermines to have a major trade impact. The list should include an indication by Members of thoseinternational standards, guidelines or recommendations which they apply as conditions for import or onthe basis of which imported products conforming to these standards can enjoy access to their markets.For those cases in which a Member does not apply an international standard, guideline orrecommendation as a condition for import, the Member should provide an indication of the reasontherefor, and, in particular, whether it considers that the standard is not stringent enough to provide theappropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection. If a Member revises its position, following itsindication of the use of a standard, guideline or recommendation as a condition for import, it shouldprovide an explanation for its change and so inform the Secretariat as well as the relevant internationalorganizations, unless such notification and explanation is given according to the procedures of Annex B.
