DATA ONJ 

LICENSINGSYSTEMS 

The CONTRACTING PARTIES, at their twenty-eighth session in November 1972 

decided, inter alia, that the data assembled on licensing systems should be kept up 

to date and that contracting parties should be invited to notify annually, by 

30 September, any changes which should be made concerning the information contained 

in the consolidated document (see SR.28/6). 

In GATT/AIR/1369: dated 12 May 1977,contracting parties were accordingly 

invited to communicate to the secretariat changes in their licensing systems. 

This document contains a tabulation of the replies to the questionnaire on 

licensing systems. It replaces Annexes I-III to L/4458 and includes information 

made available to the secretariat up to 30 November 1977. 

Annex I: Questions referring to all licensing systems 

Ann ex 

II: 

Annex III: 

Questions referring to licensing systems used to administer 

import restrictions 

Questions referring to licensing systems not used to administer 

import restrictions (automatic licensing) 

For the purpose of this tabulation, countries are grouped as follows 

Table 1: Countries which have been the subject of examination in the 

Joint Working Group 

Table 2: 

Other countries 

1The questionnaire is contained in L/3515. The replies have been issued as 

addenda to COM.IND/W/55 (COM. AG/W/72). 

2Replies from Chile, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia and Poland are not included 

in the tabulation, since these countries have indicated that they do not operate 

licensing systems in the sense of the questionnaire.
