At the meeting of the committee, WTO members have the opportunity to raise concerns about trade if they believe that other members implement measures that are not in conformity with the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade.

These specific trade concerns (STCs) may be related to the standards, testing and certification procedures, rules, or labeling requirements imposed by the importing party, and these measures may have an impact on the producers and consumers of such commodities. STCs may emphasize potential trade restrictions and include them in the WTO's regular trade monitoring reports.

At the meeting, members also agreed on the work plan of the Committee on Technical Trade Barriers in 2016-2018.
