MainWT/CTE/EDB/13/Add.102 May 2016(00-0000)Committee on Trade and EnvironmentENVIRONMENTAL DATABASE FOR 2013Note by the SecretariatThis document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice to the positions of Members or to their rights and obligations under the WTO.The WTO Environmental Database (EDB) for 2013 covers information on: (i) environment-related measures notified under WTO Agreements; (ii) environment-related provisions of notified preferential or Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs); and (iii) environment-related measures mentioned in Trade Policy Reviews (TPRs) carried out in 2013.To recall, the EDB is prepared in response to a recommendation in the 1996 Report of the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) to the Singapore Ministerial Conference for the Secretariat to compile and update annually all environment-related notifications to the WTO (see WT/CTE/1).In order to facilitate usage of EDB information, the EDB is being circulated in two parts: a cover note, in MS Word-format, which contains a brief description and overall analysis of the environment-related notifications and TPRs (WT/CTE/EDB/13); and this document (WT/CTE/EDB/13/Add.1), exclusively circulated electronically, which provides the underlying data used for the analysis.The EDB is available online at the WTO website.https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/envir_e/envdb_e.htmElectronic EDB User's GuideI. What information is available in the Electronic EDB?1.1.The electronic EDB compiles all environment-related notifications made under the various WTO Agreements and environment-related measures/activities reported in the TPRs in an Excel Workbook. It allows users to search through the EDB environment-related information according to specific criteria, for instance by Member, agreement, type of measure, product, activity, or environmental objective.1.2.The Excel workbook is divided into two main worksheets: "Notifications", listing all the environment-related notifications; and "TPRs", providing the environment-related information mentioned in TPRs. In addition, a third worksheet entitled "Summary" is included to allow users to retrieve pre-defined summary tables and graphs for the period of 1997-2013.A."Notifications" worksheet1.3.The "Notifications" worksheet displays the following information:- Agreement: the WTO Agreement being notified;- Document symbol: the symbol of the notification document;- Document link: the Web link to WTO Documents Online;- Notifying Member: the Member notifying the environment-related measure;- Region group: the region of the notifying Member;- Development status: the development status of the notifying Member;- Year: the year of notification;- Notification pursuant to: the provisions of the relevant Agreement;- Measure description: a description of the measure as indicated in the notification;- Type of measure: the type of measure stated in the notification;- Coverage of the measure: products/activities subject to the notified measure;- ICS - HS code: ICS or HS classification of the relevant products (when available);- Implementation period: implementation period or date of entry into force of the notified measure;- Environment-related objective: the environment-related objective of the measure;- Keywords: the environment-related keyword search included in the notification.1.4.Three harmonized categories have also been created to facilitate research:- Category of environment-related objectives;- Category of type of measures; and- Category of the products/activities subject to the measure.B."TPRs" worksheet1.5.The "TPRs" worksheet displays the following information:- Type of TPR: TPR reports prepared by either the Secretariat (S) or the Member (M);- Document symbol: the symbol of the TPR document;- Document link: the Web link to WTO Documents Online;- Document reference: the reference made to the paragraph number "" in the TPR document;- Member: the Member covered in the TPR;- Region group: the region of the Member;- Development status: the development status of the Member;- Year: the year of publication of the TPR;- Type of information: the type of environment-related information found in the TPR;- Type of measures or sectors: the measure or sector associated with the environment-related information;- Relevant information: a description of the environment-related information found in the TPR; and- Keywords: the keyword search included in the TPR reports.C."Summary" worksheet1.6.The "Summary" worksheet provides pre-defined tables and graphs on environment-related notifications identified and measures mentioned in TPRs.II.How to use the electronic EDB?1.7.The Excel workbook allows searches through all the variables mentioned above by using the filter function. Users can, by clicking on the right-bottom arrow icon of the heading of the selected variable, either select the information on a drop-down list (see left Figure) or type in the relevant information (see right Figure).1.8.Multiple criteria search is also possible, for instance, to search all notifications made by a given country or region/development status group with a specific environment-related objective or a specific type of measure.1.9.For example, retrieving all TBT notifications that contain performance/efficiency specification measures to promote energy conservation and efficiency, can be done as follows:1. select the "Notifications" spreadsheet;2. select the TBT Agreement in the column "Agreement" by clicking on the bottom-right arrow icon and typing "TBT" in the search box;3. select the type of measure in the column "Category of type of measure" by clicking on the bottom-right arrow icon of the heading and typing "performance/efficiency specification" in the search box;4. select the type of measure in the column "Category of environment-related objective" by clicking on the bottom-right arrow icon of the heading and typing "energy conservation and efficiency" in the search box.1.10.After the search, to go back to the full database, it is important to follow the reverse order of the selection:1. click on the bottom-right arrow icon of the heading of the variable "Category of environment-related objective" and select the "Select All" box;2.click on the bottom-right arrow icon of the heading of the variable "Category of type of measure " and select the "Select All" box; and3. click on the bottom-right arrow icon of the heading of the variable "Agreement" and select the "Select All" tick box.1.11.Once the data is selected through the filter, the user can print the records by hiding the variables of no interest (select the column, right-click and select "hide" option). In addition, the user can apply the scaling option available with the printer to fit all the selected columns on one page.
