Sempena 1 Syawal 1431H yang menjelang tiba,
saya dan keluarga ingin mengambil kesempatan ini
untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Maaf Zahir Batin kepada semua pembaca MITI
Weekly Bulletin yang beragama Islam.
Sepanjang sebulan, kita telah melakukan ibadah
puasa dengan jayanya. Saya berharap amalan yang
baik ini dapat diteruskan sepanjang masa sehingga
menjadi amalan kita yang kekal.
Aidilfitri memberi kesempatan kepada kita untuk
saling bermaaf-maafan dan mengukuhkan lagi
ikatan silaturahim yang sedia terjalin selama ini.
Kita perlu terus kekalkan semangat muhibah dan
permuafakatan seperti yang diterapkan di dalam
konsep 1Malaysia, kerana inilah yang menjadi
tunjang kekuatan kita untuk terus kekal hidup aman
dan makmur.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS
BARRIERS TO FREE TRADE: APEC BUSINESS LEADERS VOICE CONCERN
_________________________________________________________________________
At the 3 rd APEC Business Advisory Council
(ABAC) Meeting held in Bangkok from 24-27
August, 2010, business leaders from 21 APEC
economies expressed their concern over new
trade protection measures that have emerged
in the wake of the global financial crisis. While
most APEC economies have not resorted to
such measures and have in fact liberalised trade
and investment, business leaders noted that
some have continued to take trade restrictive
measures. These include raising tariffs,
imposing regulations, discriminating against
imports and exports, providing government aid
and offering export subsidies. ABAC has urged
economies to re-affirm APEC’s commitment to
keep markets open and to withdraw all trade
restrictive measures regardless of being WTO-
compliant.
ABAC also discussed initiatives to accelerate
regional economic integration. ABAC views the
Free Trade Area of Asia Pacific (FTAAP) as an
aspiration, but is achievable. FTAAP can act
as a vehicle to deliver free and open trade and
investment within the Asia-Pacific region. ABAC
Malaysia opined that building blocks such as
the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the
East Asia Free Trade Agreement (ASEAN +3)
are the best pathways towards realising the
FTAAP.
At the meeting, ABAC Malaysia also reiterated
the need for APEC to accelerate the growth of
SMEs and micro enterprises through policies
which promote capacity building and financial
inclusion in achieving quality economic
integration. ABAC also called on economies to
accord importance to introducing comprehensive
fibre/broadband networks in the region through
public-private sector partnership.
PROGRESS OF MALAYSIA-TURKEY FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (MTFTA)
NEGOTIATIONS
_________________________________________________________________________
Malaysian and Turkish officials held their
second meeting of Malaysia-Turkey Free Trade
Agreement (MTFTA) from 23 to 25 August 2010
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
At the meeting both Parties discussed tariffs
and market access, customs procedures and
cooperation, Rules of Origin, Sanitary and
Phytosanitary Measures, Technical Barriers
to Trade, Legal Matters and Economic
Cooperation. Both parties reiterated their
desire to complete negotiations by the first half
of 2011.
The meeting achieved good progress in the
discussions on Sanitary and Phytosanitary
Measures, Technical Barriers to Trade, Legal
Matters and Economic Cooperation. Remaining
issues will be discussed in the next round of
negotiations. Meanwhile, both parties agreed
to work inter-sessionally to expedite work-inprogress
of the respective Working Groups
before the third round of negotiations which was
scheduled from 30 November to 2 December
2010.
The MTFTA is expected to boost trade and
investment between the two countries. Turkey
is an attractive market for Malaysian products
as it has a large population base of 77 million
people and GDP per capita of US$12,000.
Turkey can serve as a gateway to Europe, the
Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa.
Similarly, Turkey can use Malaysia as a base
to market Turkish products to the huge ASEAN
market of 580 million people.

STRATEGIC TRADE ACT 2010 - FACILITATING TRADE IN A SECURED
TRADING ENVIRONMENT
___________________________________________________________________________
In keeping with Malaysia’s obligations to
adopt the United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 1540, the Strategic Trade Act
(STA) was passed in the Parliament in June
2010. This provides for control over the
export, transshipment, transit and brokering
of strategic items, including arms and related
materials, and other activities that can facilitate
the design, development and production of
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their
delivery systems.
To implement the STA, MITI had established
the Strategic Trade Secretariat, led by a
Controller. The implementation of this law will
involve many other Ministries and Agencies
dealing with licensing, enforcement and
prosecution. The related laws under the STA
include:
• Atomic Energy Licensing Act 1984 (Act
304);
• Chemical Weapons Convention Act 2005
(Act 641);
• Prevention and Control of Infectious
Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342);
• Animals Act 1953 (Act 647);
• Pesticides Act 1974 (Act 149);
• Plant Quarantine Act 1976 (Act 167);
• Protection of New Plant Varieties Act 2004
(Act 634); and
• Customs Act 1967 (Act 235).
The STA will be implemented through
guidelines and procedures that will detail out
the mechanism of exports of strategic items in
Malaysia. The regulations are being finalised
for implementation latest by October 2010.
The STA is consistent with Malaysia’s national
security and international obligations. MITI
will ensure that the implementation of this
Act does not hinder export activities in the
country. While enforcement is required, the
spirit is to facilitate legitimate trade. Through
the implementation of this Act, we aim to
achieve a more secured trading environment,
in particular to enhance the confidence of the
world on Malaysia as a responsible trading
partner.
Malaysia will benefit in terms of:
• enhancing its image and build confidence
among foreign investors wanting to invest
in Malaysia;
• facilitating and managing the exports of
high technology goods and components
from Malaysia to other countries;
• protecting Malaysia and Malaysian
exporters from being exploited by
proliferators and those that profited from
such activities, without compromising the
legitimate trade in the strategic items;
• promoting Malaysia as a secure country to
trade with; and
• enabling Malaysia’s effort in maintaining
international peace and security by
combating the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction.
Trade and industry associations and business
councils should be aware of the requirements
of and ensure compliance with the Act. To this
end, the Strategic Trade Secretariat is already
undertaking outreach programmes, which will
be intensified before the implementation of the
Act.
A copy of the Strategic Trade Act 2010 is
available (upon subscription) at http://www.
lawnet.com.my/lawnetPublic/. However, the
Strategic Trade Bill 2010 which was passed
by the Parliament can be viewed from the
Parliament website. Please visit http://www.

INITIATIVES TO DEVELOP ‘GREEN INDUSTRY’
_______________________________________________
Among the goals of the National Green
Technology Policy are to increase production of
local Green Technology products and to expand
SMEs businesses on Green Technology to the
global market.
Malaysia has taken several initiatives in
promoting Green Technology including:
• establishing the Green Technology
Financing Scheme (GTFS) amounting to
RM1.5 billion to promote the development
of green technology;
• developing Green Building Index (GBI), to
enable green certification of buildings in
Malaysia;
• approval of the Renewable Energy and
Action Plan;
• launching of Green Directory, a database for
companies that have taken green initiatives
in business operations; and
• organising the International Greentech, Eco-
Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia
2010 (IGEM 2010) in October 2010, to
provide an essential platform to feature
innovative eco-products and services.
To further develop green industries in Malaysia,
MITI has undertaken several initiatives, among
others:
• Spearheading of the Working Committee
on Green Technology and Climate Change
(Industry) that has formulated Terms of
Reference (TOR) which include:
• to enhance the awareness of industries
in promoting low carbon and resourceefficient
in all industrial sectors;
• to promote investments and financing
in low-carbon and resource-efficient
industries including services sector
through specific incentives;
• to foster a greater market access of
eco-friendly products and services from
Malaysia through exports promotions;
• to encourage the adoption of strategies
and plans to promote green technology;
• to intensify international cooperation in
the development and transfer of green
technology; and
• to monitor and evaluate the strategies
and plans on green technology.
• organised Green Technology seminar
on 9 June 2010 with the objectives to
enhance awareness of industries in green
technology; and
• conducted several consultations with
industries to discuss proposals on new
incentives for green technology.
The Working Committee will continue to
encourage investments and monitor the
effectiveness of existing incentives, in line with
Malaysia’s thrust to become a regional centre
for green technology.
DISPUTE ON ITA PRODUCTS: WTO RULING
________________________________________________
The WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB)
panel issued its report on the Information
Technology Agreement (ITA) dispute between
the USA, Japan and Chinese Taipei and the
European Union (EU) on 16 August 2010.
In the dispute, the complainants claimed that
the tariff imposed by the EU on certain IT
products did not respect the EU’s commitments
to provide duty-free treatment under the ITA.
The products affected in the dispute are:
• Flat Panel Display Devices (FPDs);
• Set-top Boxes which have a Communication
Function (STBCs); and
• Multifunction Digital Machines (MFMs).
MITI Weekly Bulletin
08

i. Flat Panel Display Devices
Under the ITA, the EU has committed to grant
duty-free treatment for FPD products, but the
EU imposed a duty of 14% on:
• flat panel display devices capable of
connecting to an automatic data-processing
machine and that are also capable of
reproducing video images from a source
other than an automatic data-processing
machine; and
• flat panel display devices capable of
connecting to an automatic data-processing
machine and that have a DVI or other type of
connector, whether or not they are capable
of receiving signals from another source.
ii. Set-top Boxes which have a
Communication Function
The EU has committed to grant duty-free
treatment for STBC products, but the EU
imposed duties of 14% and 13.9% respectively
on:
• set top boxes with modems of certain types
(e.g. Ethernet modems); and
• set top boxes which incorporate a device
How to reach us:
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
performing a recording or reproducing
function (e.g. a hard disk or DVD drive).
iii. Multifunction Digital Machines
On MFM products, the EU has committed to
grant duty-free treatment for MFM products,
but has imposed a duty of 6% on:
• certain Automatic Data Processing (ADP)
MFMs for “input or output” units; and
• certain non-ADP MFMs for facsimile
machines.
The panel concluded that all the products
concerned fall within the scope of the ITA and
the EU had breached its obligation to offer dutyfree
treatment.
The Dispute Settlement Body requested the
EU to act in conformity with its obligations.
This WTO ruling would benefit Malaysian
manufacturers of these products exporting to
the EU market.
Further information on the panel ruling is
available at www.wto.org > Trade Topics >
Dispute Settlement > News.
