AGENDA ITEM 1: THE GROUP WOULD CONTINUE ITS EXAMINATION OF TRADE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN EXISTING MULTILATERAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENTS VIS-A-VIS GATT PRINCIPLES AND PROVISIONS, FOCUSING ON, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE TWO ISSUES OF NON-PARTIES TO MULTILATERAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENTS AND EXTRATERRITORIALITY. IN THIS REGARD, DELEGATIONS ARE INVITED TO REVIEW WHERE WE HAVE REACHED IN OUR DISCUSSIONS UNDER THIS AGENDA ITEM AND REFLECT ON OTHER SPECIFIC ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED IN THE MAY AND JULY MEETINGS WHICH COULD USEFULLY BE TAKEN UP IN THIS AND FUTURE MEETINGS.

AGENDA ITEM 2: THE GROUP WOULD CONTINUE ITS EXAMINATION OF THE MULTILATERAL TRANSPARENCY OF NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS LIKELY TO HAVE TRADE EFFECTS. THE CHECKLIST OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY INSTRUMENTS CONTAINED IN TRE/W/4 MAY BE USED AS A BASIS ON WHICH TO IDENTIFY MORE CLEARLY THE TRADE EFFECTS OF NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, WITH A VIEW TO IDENTIFYING GAPS THAT MAY EXIST IN EXISTING GATT AND PROSPECTIVE URUGUAY ROUND PROVISIONS RELATED TO TRANSPARENCY. IN THIS CONTEXT PARTICIPANTS MAY ALSO WISH TO CONSIDER THE QUESTION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF, OR COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXISTING GATT PROVISIONS.

AGENDA ITEM 3: THE GROUP WOULD CONTINUE ITS EXAMINATION OF THE TRADE EFFECTS OF NEW PACKAGING AND LABELLING REQUIREMENTS AIMED AT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, FOCUSING ON LABELLING REQUIREMENTS, ALTHOUGH PARTICIPANTS WHO MAY WISH TO DISCUSS PACKAGING ARE NOT EXCLUDED FROM DOING SO. THE GENERIC TYPOLOGY OF LABELLING REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN TRE/W/3, ADD.1 AND ADD.2 MAY BE USED AS THE BASIS ON WHICH TO IDENTIFY THE TRADE EFFECTS OF LABELLING REQUIREMENTS AIMED AT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.

UNCED FOLLOW-UP: THE GROUP WOULD CONTINUE ITS EXCHANGE OF VIEWS ON THE UNCED FOLLOW-UP WHICH MAY COVER ALL THE ISSUES DESIGNATED TO THE GROUP BY THE CONTRACTING PARTIES AT ITS DECEMBER 1992 SESSION (AGENDA 21, CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION AND SECTION B).
