TRADE AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE TO THE WTO:

The Sub-Committee on Trade and Environment of the Preparatory Committee to the World Trade Organization will meet for one day on 12 July 1994 in Geneva. In essence, the issues to be discussed in this Committee will be a continuation of those dealt with by the recently revived and now defunct Group on Environmental Measures and International Trade. This meeting will give a first reading to issues that the governments feel should be given priority, building on discussions held within the GATT. The Sub-Committee has a two-and-a-half year mandate to examine its terms of reference as established in the Marrakech Declaration on Trade and Environment. Information will be available from the Secretariat and in "Trade and Environment," published by the GATT. For information on receiving this publication, contact Sabrina Shaw, Economic Affairs Officer, Technical Barriers to Trade and Trade and Environment Division, GATT Secretariat, 154 Rue de Lausanne, 1211 Geneva 21, Switzerland, fax: +41-22 731-4206.
