ACCESSIONS

Yemen

The General Council established a Working Party to examine Yemen's request for accession in July 2000. Yemen's Memorandum on the Foreign Trade Regime was circulated in November 2002, and the First meeting of the Working Party took place in November 2004. Multilateral work is proceeding on the basis of a revised draft Working Party Report circulated in June 2010. Bilateral market access negotiations are underway on the basis of revised offers in goods and services. The Working Party held its eighth meeting in September 2010.
