AD HOC CONSULTATIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND THEIR TRADING PARTNERS - UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA

Submission by the United Republic of Tanzania

The following communication has been received from the Permanent Mission of the United Republic of Tanzania. It was dated 14 September 1984.

The Permanent Mission of the United Republic of Tanzania to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Geneva has the honour to enclose a submission for circulation to the concerned Governments with whom Tanzania wishes to discuss during the forthcoming ad hoc consultations scheduled on 18-19 October, 1984, at the Meeting of the Sub-Committee of Trade of Least Developed Countries.

In accordance with the decisions taken by Ministers at the thirty-eighth session of the CONTRACTING PARTIES in relation to the trade of least developed countries, the Committee on Trade and Development agreed at its March, 1983 session that the Sub-Committee on the Trade of Least Developed countries would (a) monitor implementation of those aspects of the Ministerial Declaration which concerned the least developed countries and (b) hold consultations between interested least-developed countries and their trading partners on issues related to their development and export interests including the examination of barriers to their trade, and any relevant commercial policy matters. The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania therefore considers that the forthcoming consultations offer an opportunity to discuss with contracting parties actions which might be taken under the Ministerial Declaration regarding the export interests of Tanzania.

The following lists of requests on products of export interest to Tanzania are to be directed in advance to the developed importing countries concerned in the hope that appropriate responses would be given to them during the consultations, including an examination of possible specific measures to improve market access (such as improvements in GSP schemes, the lowering of m.f.n. tariff rates, or the removal of non-tariff measures).
