• Articles 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7, 8 and Annex C of the SPS Agreement;
   
• Articles 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 5.1 and 5.2 of the TBT Agreement;
   
• Articles 4.2 and 14 of the Agreement on Agriculture; and
   
• Articles 1.3, 3.2, 3.3, 5.1 and 5.2 of the Import Licensing Agreement.
