MEDIDA DEL GOBIERNO DEL CANADÁ PARA ELIMINAR UNILATERALMENTE DETERMINADOS ARANCELES DE
LA NACIÓN MÁS FAVORECIDA (NMF) APLICADOS COMUNICACIÓN DEL CANADÁ
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 19 de abril de 2017, se distribuye a petición de la delegación del Canadá.
_______________
1. Como muestra de su compromiso en favor del libre comercio y la liberalización progresiva del comercio, el Canadá desea notificar a los Miembros de la Organización Mundial del Comercio una medida reciente que ha adoptado unilateralmente para eliminar los derechos de aduana NMF aplicados a una amplia gama de ingredientes importados utilizados en la industria agroalimentaria.
2. Con efecto a partir del 16 de enero de 2017, el Gobierno del Canadá ha eliminado los aranceles aplicados a ciertos ingredientes importados que se utilizan en la industria agroalimentaria, con inclusión de determinadas frutas y hortalizas, cereales y granos, especias, grasas y aceites, preparaciones alimenticias y productos de chocolate, que representan aproximadamente 700 millones de dólares al año de importaciones sujetas al pago de derechos.
13. El objetivo de la eliminación de aranceles es mejorar la competitividad de las empresas canadienses de elaboración de productos agroalimentarios en los mercados nacionales y extranjeros reduciendo los costos de producción, lo cual favorecerá la inversión y la creación de empleos bien remunerados para la clase media en este importante sector.
4. Si bien estas medidas están principalmente orientadas a estimular la competitividad de los fabricantes canadienses, también representan un ejemplo concreto del papel que desempeña el Canadá como líder mundial de la apertura del comercio.
5. Esta iniciativa es un paso más en la eliminación unilateral de todos los aranceles restantes que sigue aplicando el Canadá a las importaciones de maquinaria y equipos y de insumos del sector manufacturero en los últimos años.
2Un estudio monográfico de la OCDE de noviembre de 2013 destacó la importancia de estas medidas para fortalecer la posición del Canadá en las cadenas de valor mundiales, así como su atractivo como lugar donde invertir y hacer negocios.
36. El Canadá espera que estas medidas alienten a otros Miembros a examinar formas parecidas de promover la apertura de los mercados mundiales y mejorar la competitividad nacional mediante la liberalización unilateral del comercio.
