The enabling clause allows developed countries to accord more favorable treatment to developing countries without according such treatment to other countries. It also applies to preferential trade arrangements between developing countries. Papua New Guinea-Australia Trade and Commercial Region I (PATCRA I), not PATCRA II, was notified to the WTO in December 1976. However, PATCRA I has been replaced by PATCRA II which entered into force in 1991. As of June 2008     Download in Excel :
