Todo lo que siempre quiso saber sobre las restricciones cuantitativas

La OMC ha creado una nueva página Web dedicada a la cuestión de las restricciones cuantitativas, que son medidas de los gobiernos por las que se limitan el volumen o el valor de las mercancías que pueden ser objeto de comercio. Esas medidas pueden adoptar diferentes formas (contingentes, prohibiciones, limitaciones voluntarias de las exportaciones, etc.) y deben notificarse a la OMC en el marco de un nuevo procedimiento.

(de momento sólo en inglés)
The new webpage provides background information on quantitative restrictions, which are generally prohibited under WTO rules except in defined circumstances. Through this page, Members have direct access to all necessary information on the notification procedure, explanatory documents and the notification form. The notifications are publicly available through the WTO’s Quantitative Restrictions Database, which can be accessed via the website.

The website also provides links to the activities of the WTO’s Committee on Market Access which examines the quantitative restriction notifications made by members, as well as all disputes where provisions relating to quantitative restrictions (Articles XI and XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) are cited in the complaint.
