                   DECISION ON REVIEW OF THE ISO/IEC 
                     INFORMATION CENTRE PUBLICATION


      Ministers decide that in conformity with paragraph 1 of Article 13, 
the Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade shall, without prejudice to 
provisions on consultation and dispute settlement, at least once a year 
review the publication provided by the ISO/IEC Information Centre on 
information received according to the Code of good practice in Annex 3 of 
the Agreement, for the purpose of affording Members opportunity of 
discussing any matters relating to the operation of that Code.

      In order to facilitate this discussion, the MTO Secretariat is 
requested to provide a list by Member of all standardizing bodies that have 
accepted the Code of good practice, as well as a list of those standardizing 
bodies that have accepted or withdrawn from the Code since the previous 
review.

      The MTO Secretariat is also requested to distribute promptly to the 
Members copies of the notifications it receives from the ISO/IEC Information 
Centre.
