Brazil, the US, Rep. of Korea, Australia, Japan, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Chile, China, Mexico and Thailand agreed, some of them saying the EU has not provided enough information. Some of them also reported that the issue had been discussed in Brussels when some members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group met the EU.
The EU replied that the regulation has already been modified because of comments received during consultation periods. Although some information has not been notified to the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade Committee, it is available on the Internet, the EU said.
It also denied that the regulation discriminates against foreign companies because the same conditions apply to all, including small and medium-sized European companies, and it assured WTO members that the EU Commission is responsible for ensuring the regulation is applied uniformly all over the EU.
