Position of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a Newly Acceded Member
Communication from Saudi Arabia
The following communication, dated 23 August, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Saudi Arabia. The extensive commitments and reforms of its trade regime are embodied in its protocol of accession (WT/L/627, 11 November 2005) and Working Party Report and annexes and, schedules thereto (WT/ACC/SAU/61, WT/ACC/SAU/61/Add. The present levels, it should be noted, are well below the levels of many, if not most, Members. In view of these considerations, especially the proximity in time of accession – only six months – it would not be fair or appropriate to require further reductions.
