I. Overview of Scope and Organization     back to top

A. Scope

1.      The second edition of the WTO Analytical Index provides a guide to the interpretation and application of the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade OrganizationWTO Agreement”), drawing on the jurisprudence of panel, Appellate Body and arbitration reports, and on decisions of WTO bodies. The material covers the period 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2004.

2.      Although this volume does not incorporate the material contained in the GATT Analytical Index(1), appropriate cross-references are made to this earlier work.


B. Organization of materials

3.      The material is organized into 23 chapters with a separate chapter for each of the Agreements. Within each chapter, there are sections organized on an article by article basis.

4.      Each chapter is generally divided into two sections: “A. Text of Article […]” sets out the text of the particular article; and “B. Interpretation and Application of Article […]” provides excerpts, organized in chronological order, of relevant jurisprudence and decisions of WTO bodies. The text of the Understandings relating to specific Articles of the GATT 1994 are to be found following the text(s) of the Article concerned.

5.      Under Section B, excerpts are organized systematically, in chronological order, under the heading “General” and other relevant headings, frequently including words from the particular portion of the text being interpreted. Many chapters also include tables or other descriptive material.

6.      This volume does not attempt to set out the drafting history of the WTO Agreement. Material on the negotiating history of the Uruguay Round and the transition from the GATT to the WTO can be found in the GATT Analytical Index, particularly in the Chapter on “Institutions and Procedure”.

 

II. Editorial Conventions     back to top

A. Abbreviations

7.      This work uses a number of abbreviations, the definitions for which can be found in the tables at the end of this introductory chapter. Abbreviations are provided for the names of the various WTO agreements and the various bodies of the WTO. Abbreviations (“short titles”) are also given for panel, Appellate Body and arbitration reports.


B. Other conventions

8.      All excerpts, whether of decisions of WTO bodies or of panel, Appellate Body or arbitration reports, are introduced by short explanatory sentences, setting out the context for including the particular excerpt.

9.      Excerpts from decisions of the various WTO bodies are kept to a minimum because the full text of the materials is available in the cited documents and may be accessed on-line through the WTO website (http://www.wto.org).

10.     Citations to excerpted materials from WTO bodies are generally limited to the relevant document symbol and the paragraph number within that document where the cited text appears. In the case of excerpted material from panel, Appellate Body and arbitration reports, the citations are limited to the name of the adjudicating body, the short title of the case and the paragraph number where the cited text appears, e.g., “Appellate Body Report on EC — Bananas III, para. 34”. For the first six Appellate Body reports, where paragraph numbering was not used, page numbers for the cited text are used.

11.     Full citations for the panel, Appellate Body and arbitration reports are provided in tables at the beginning of each volume of this publication. These full citations reference the WTO-approved published versions of these reports, as found in the Dispute Settlement Reports (“DSR”). Where the relevant DSR has yet to be published, the document reference from the “WT/DS” document series is used.

12.     Original footnotes within excerpts are generally omitted except where expressly retained and identified as “(footnote original)”. Case names in footnotes, other than those found in original footnotes, are changed to the correct short titles as listed in the table at the end of this chapter.

13.     Within quoted material, ellipses (“…”) are used to indicate where text within a sentence, a paragraph or larger section has been omitted. Square brackets [ ] are used to indicate editorial changes, all of which have been kept to a strict minimum.

14.     Because this work is both for general distribution and for use by Members of the WTO, references are provided to some documents which are still subject to restriction. The rules on document restriction and derestriction are discussed in the Chapter on the WTO Agreement.


C. Document series, document references, and document sources

15.     The various documents series, indicating the document symbols for all the various types of WTO documents, are set out at the end of this chapter.

16.     This edition of the WTO Analytical Index will be available on CD-ROM and “online” from the WTO website (http://www.wto.org). Copies and information on these various sources for the WTO Analytical Index may be obtained through the WTO Bookshop or the WTO website or by e-mailing the Publications Office (publications@wto.org). The texts of the WTO Legal Instruments, Dispute Settlement Reports and Basic Instrument and Selected Documents series and other WTO publications may also be obtained through the Bookshop or electronically.
