Israel: Israel Notifies WTO of Proposed Import Standard Regulations Related to the European Union

Since March 25, 2024, the Government of Israel has notified the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) several times on regulatory proposals related to European Standards. On April 8, 2024, Israel’s WTO/TBT notification G/TBT/N/ISR/1329/Rev. 1 was updated to allow for a period of public comment until May 21, 2024, and G/TBT/N/ISR/1332/Rev.1 was updated to allow for public comment until May 24, 2024. Both measures have been approved by the Israeli Parliament in the first reading (with more readings to come) and are linked to standard regulations related to the adoption of European Union regulations.
