NOTIFICATION OF CATEGORY COMMITMENTS UNDER  
THE AGREEMENT ON TRADE FACILITATION  
COMMUNICATION FROM TOGO  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 1 0 August 2 022, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Togo for Members' information.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Further to its notification dated 2 0 February 2 020 (G/TFA/N/TGO/1/Add.1), Togo wishes  to make 
the following notification:  
 
Togo hereby notifies, pursuant to Article 16.3, that it requires additional time to notify i ts definitive 
dates for Category C provisions . It therefore requests that the Committee on Trade Facilitation 
consider extending the period for the notification of  Togo's  definitive dates for Category C provisions 
until 31 December 2 023. 
 
To meet its oblig ations, Togo has, within the framework of the implementation of Category C 
measure s, drawn up  profiles for projects lasting between three and five years . External financing is 
required to implement these projects ; however, the  necessary resources have not yet been 
mobilized . The delay and difficulties in mobilizing these resources have affected  the definitive dates 
set by Togo for the implementation of its Category C measures.  
 
Furthermore, the COVID -19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the committee's activities , to 
the extent  where the action to be taken by the bodies concerned ha s either been delayed or not 
been taken at all . As a result, the definitive date for the implementation of Category B measures, 
initially set at  31 December 2 022, cannot be respected . Togo therefore wishes to review its 
Category  B measures and take the action necessary , in accordance with the provisions of 
the Agreement .
