Examen de politique commerciale
Dernier examen de politique commerciale (Rapport du Secrétariat de l'OMC): WT/TPR/S/396/Rev.1
A. Prohibitions et restrictions à l'importation et licences d'importation
3.44.
As Australia's frontline border law enforcement agency, the ABF assists in the implementation of various pieces of legislation that prohibit outright the importation of certain goods, restrict certain imports, and subject importation to the fulfilment of specific conditions. On its website, the ABF identifies approximately 60 instances of "prohibited" imports (Table 3.7). Many of these restrictions or conditional measures reflect concerns related to public health and safety, measures affecting the domestic production and marketing of identical, similar or like goods, or stem from Australia's participation in international agreements and arrangements to regulate trade in particular products, such as chemical weapons, radioactive and nuclear materials, hazardous waste, ozone-depleting substances and synthetic greenhouse gases, cultural heritage goods, or the cross-border movement of endangered animals and plant species (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species - CITES). The conditions applicable to CITES-related imports are distinct from biosafety and quarantine regulations enforced as sanitary and phytosanitary measures (Section 3.3.3).
3.45.
The measures imposed on a wide range of restricted imports are detailed in the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations, 1956, established under the Customs Act, 1901.[127] According to the regulations currently in force, an absolute prohibition on importation (Schedule 1) relates only to specific dangerous dog breeds (and related advertising materials). Schedule 2 lists goods that are prohibited to import unless written permission has been granted by the responsible minister or an authorized person, e.g. cosmetics and toys that include toxic materials in quantities that exceed established tolerances. Other schedules to the regulations concern the compliance with specified conditions, restrictions or requirements for certain imported goods (Schedule 3) or the enforcement of provisions relating to drugs; firearms, weapons and weapon parts; glazed ceramic ware; certain organochlorine chemicals; chemical compounds; and ODSs (Schedules 4 to 13). In some instances, when non-automatic licensing is applied, a two-step procedure is followed, whereby the prospective importer first requests authorization to be acknowledged as a legal importer of the goods in question, and subsequently files applications for import permits for individual consignments of the said goods. The regulations oblige entities and persons to obtain import permits from the relevant permit-issuing authority prior to importation, so that all relevant documents may be presented to the ABF at the time of clearance through Customs. In 2009, the Australian Customs Service introduced some flexibility, by allowing additional time to importers/owners genuinely not aware of the need to, or unable to, obtain the required permission in advance.[128] In such instances, Customs may detain the goods for up to 30 days while permission is sought. However, Customs will seize the goods in accordance with the Customs Act, should the request be refused or no permission be sought.
3.46.
Further to the Charter of the United Nations Act, 1945, Australia implements sanctions approved by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as a matter of international law. In addition, Australia may implement sanctions autonomously towards specific countries/territories, or in respect of transactions with specific individuals or businesses. As at early June 2019, sanctions mandated by the United Nations concerned multilateral decisions taken with respect to the Central African Republic; counter-terrorism; the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Guinea-Bissau; Iraq; ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida; Lebanon; Mali; Somalia; South Sudan; Sudan; the Taliban; and Yemen. For three countries the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Iran and Libya the UNSC sanctions were supplemented by Australian autonomous sanctions. Furthermore, Australian autonomous sanctions were in place concerning persons and entities from the Former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Myanmar, the Russian Federation/Ukraine, Syria, and Zimbabwe.
3.47.
Permits, administered by the DFAT, are needed to trade goods between Australia and a sanctioned country or entity. Registered users may submit applications through the Online Sanctions Administration System. The DFAT maintains a regularly updated Consolidated List of all persons and entities that are subject to targeted financial sanctions or travel bans under Australian sanctions legislation, i.e. the UN Charter Act and its sets of regulations, the Autonomous Sanctions Act, 2011, and the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations, 2011.[129]
3.48.
Australia replies to the WTO questionnaire on import licensing procedures on a regular basis.[130] The 2018 submission provided details of many of the restrictions on items enumerated in Table 3.7. In addition, information was provided on the licensing procedures employed to administer Australia's annual tariff quota on cheese and curd; import approvals for new and used motor vehicles; imports into Antarctica, the Heard Island and the McDonald Islands; and the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Australia. In most cases, a licence is necessary for commercial dealings with a GMO.
B. Prohibitions et restrictions à l'exportation
3.60.
Australia's export controls reflect a number of factors, notably international commitments it undertook regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear materials, sales of military and dual-use goods and technologies, counter-terrorism measures, cultural heritage, and the protection of endangered animals and plants (Table 3.11). In addition, as mentioned above, various agricultural and food products are subject to controls and certification to meet requirements in importing markets.
3.61.
Australia is a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Australia Group, and the Wassenaar Arrangement. The relevant export control regulations are administered by the Department of Defence. Goods, software and technology that are regulated when exported, supplied, brokered or published are enumerated on the Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL).[140] A permit is normally required for export items included on the DSGL. The DSGL reflects Australia's membership in the international non-proliferation and export control regimes, as well as Australia-specific restrictions on exports of explosives and firearms.
3.62.
As with imports, Australia applies economic sanctions, whether mandated by the UNSC or additional Australia-specific sanctions, that affect export transactions with certain countries or entities. Measures include restrictions on exports of goods and services, targeted financial sanctions, and travel bans.[141]
3.63.
An initiative to consolidate and streamline export-related requirements for agricultural commodities and food products is currently underway. A review conducted in 2015 of the existing legal framework, i.e. the Export Control Act, 1982, the Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act, 1997, and various orders and regulations, found scope for improvement. Discussions are moving forward on the basis of the Export Control Bill, 2017 and draft Export Control Rules. The aim is to have a new legal regime in place by 1 April 2020.
