• World Trade Organisation - World Trade Organization - is the successor to - GATT. Its functions consist of: 1) administering international trade agreements; 2) acting as a forum for trade negotiations on reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers to goods and services; 3) settling trade disputes; 4) reviewing national trade policies; 5) assisting developing countries in trade policy issues, through technical assistance and training programs; and 6) cooperating with other international organizations. The WTO’s top level decision-making body is the Ministerial Conference which meets at least once every two years. The WTO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and has 164 members as of 2016.

• Malaysia, by virtue of membership in GATT, is a member since 1957.

WTO:

Technologies that build 3D objects by adding layer-upon-layer of material, whether the material is plastic, metal or concrete.

Addictive Manufacturing:

Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS) / Amber Box:Amber Box or Aggregate Measurement of Support refers to trade-distorting subsidies and subject to reduction commitments (i.e. such subsidies to be reduced over certain agreed period of time). As a result of the Uruguay negotiations, members had to quantify the value of these supports and inscribe it in their Schedules of Commitments. Amber Box policies include programmes such as market price support, direct payments and input subsidies.

Aero-manufacturing:Manufacture and supply of aerospace parts and components, assembling processes which consist of the sub sectors such as aero-structure, avionics, aero-engine and airframe equipment.

Aerospace Industry:

Working Group – Comprised of delegates from APEC member economies. The working group focuses on activities of particular fields or projects to promote economic cooperation in APEC. There are currently 11 working groups under the SOM Steering Committee on ECOTECH, sub-groups and three industry dialogues under CTI, and the Competition Policy and Law Group under the Economic Committee. Working groups are equivalent in positions to consultation and expert groups that together form a larger group, known collectively as APEC fora.

WG:

Measure which allows for the consolidation of goods originating in a Member State in the finished goods of the latter Member State for the purpose of preferential treatment.

Accumulation: Advanced Materials:New materials and modifications to existing materials to obtain superior performance in one or more characteristics that are critical for the application under consideration.

An ad valorem duty is expressed in percentage terms, for example, a duty of 20% on the value of automotive components. Duty or other charges levied on an item on the basis of its value and not on the basis of its quantity, size, weight, or other factor.

Ad Valorem Tariff (AVE):

Three pillars of Agriculture negotiations :• Tariff reduction (market access)• Subsidies reduction (domestic

support)• Export competition

Agriculture Negotiations:

A provision that disallow developing countries from excluding an entire sector from tariff cuts. A minimum of 20% tariff lines or 9% of the value of imports in each tariff chapter would be subject to the full formula tariff reduction.

Anti-concentration Provision:

A number of adjustments have to be made to international merchandise trade statistics before they match the specific requirements of national accounts and balance of payments (BOP) statistics. For aggregate exports and imports these adjustments are mainly related to coverage, the system of trade, and valuation.

With respect to coverage, the international merchandise trade statistics (ITS) in most instances conforms with the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM5). Differences remain for the following cases: (i) transactions that represent services transactions (e.g. blueprints, videos, and tapes) should be valued in ITS at the value of the material in which they are incorporated, while under BPM5 these transactions should be excluded from goods and included, at market value, in services; (ii) transactions in which one or both national boundaries are not crossed (e.g. trade in vessels and aircraft, exports of bunkers, etc.) are not always included in ITS for practical reasons, whereas they are usually included in BOP statistics; (iii) goods under the improvement and repair trade regime should be excluded from ITS, but they are to be included at the value of the repair under the BPM5.

Concerning the system of trade, the ITS guidelines outline the measurement of trade flows on the basis of (1) the special trade system and (2) the general trade system. Under the special trade system, the customs frontier is regarded as the statistical boundary whereas, under the general system of trade, the national frontier is regarded as the statistical boundary. The BPM5 stresses that measurement for BOP compilation should be based on change of ownership rather than on the general trade system or the special trade system. The general trade system appears to be a better proxy for measuring change of ownership because it provides broader coverage and the date of change of ownership may be closer to the date goods cross the national frontier than to the date goods clear through customs.

As far as valuation is concerned, the issue that affects most data comparability concerns the point of valuation, namely, whether goods are valued at the importer’s border - that is at the c.i.f. value - or at the f.o.b. value at the exporter’s border. ITS guidelines recommend the adoption of the c.i.f. valuation for imports whereas BPM5 requires the f.o.b. valuation. Additional adjustments may be made by BOP compilers to conform to the BPM5 requirement for a market price for valuing trade, processing trade, and with respect to currency conversion.

Once adjusted, merchandise trade is recorded in the goods category of the current account, along with services, income, and current transfers. Therefore, within the balance of payments framework transactions in both goods and services are harmonized and provide for comparable statistical series, as in Table I.8. It is not strictly speaking correct to aggregate the figures for commercial services and merchandise shown elsewhere in this report.

It should be noted that some countries still apply the concepts of the fourth edition of the Balance of Payments Manual, and thus do not include goods for processing and goods procured in port carriers in the goods account.
