Consultations
Complaint by Honduras.
On 26 June 2000, Honduras
requested consultations with Nicaragua in respect of Law 325 of 1999
whereby a tax is established on goods and services coming from or
originating in Honduras and Colombia as well as implementing Decree 129-99
and Ministerial Order 041-99. Honduras considered that Law 325 of 1999 and
implementing Decree 129-99 are incompatible with Nicaragua’s obligations
under the GATT 1994, and in particular Articles I and II thereof, and that
the aforementioned measures as well as Ministerial Order 041-99 are
incompatible with Nicaragua’s obligations under Articles II and XVI of
the GATS.
