Role of Developing Countries Sample Clauses

Role of Developing Countries. Apart from those developing countries that were members of the Cairns group at the time of the Uruguay Round negotiations,33 developing country participation in the ne- gotiation of the SPS Agreement was very limited. Some developing country Cairns Group members, such as Argentina and Chile, made statements and actively partici- pated in the discussions in the meetings of the Working Group. However, only Brazil and Colombia, acting jointly, and Morocco (not a Cairns Group member) submitted written negotiating proposals in this area, as part of their broader submissions for the agriculture negotiations. These developing countries emphasized the importance of harmonization of SPS measures on the basis of standards set by the international standard-setting organizations, as well as technical assistance and special and differ- ential treatment for developing countries. In addition, it was proposed by Brazil and Colombia that when, without sound scientific evidence, Members apply stricter SPS measures to developing country products than to products from other countries, result- ing in a reduction of the market share of developing countries or their exclusion from the relevant market, it should be possible to claim equitable compensation in dispute settlement.34 The lack of broader participation from developing countries in the negotiations leading to the drafting of the SPS Agreement can be attributed to their limited resources and the resulting wish to focus on those aspects of the negotiations that they perceived as being of most direct relevance to them (such as the agriculture and textiles negotiations). The technical nature of negotiations regarding disciplines on sanitary and phytosanitary measures may have further discouraged their participation, due to their lack of technical expertise in this area.
