ACCESSIONS

Yemen

The General Council established a Working Party to examine Yemen's request for accession in July 2000. The Memorandum on the Foreign Trade Regime was circulated in November 2002, and the first meeting of the Working Party took place in November 2004. An Elements of a draft Report (a detailed document summarizing discussions in the Working Party) was circulated in September 2008. Bilateral market access negotiations are underway on the basis of revised offers in goods and services. The fifth meeting of the Working Party took place in October 2008.
