(2)合理与透明度的要求。对于合理与透明度的要求规定在协议第1条第4款中。该款规定,各成员方应及时公布与提交申请的程序有关的规则和所有信息,包括个人、公司和机构提出申请的资格、受理的一个或多个管理机构以及受限制的产品清单,以使其他成员方政府和贸易商知晓。只要可行,此类公布应在该要求生效日期前21天作出,但无论如何不得迟于该生效日期。同时,该款还规定,应给予希望提出书面意见的成员讨论这些意见的机会,有关成员应对这些意见和讨论结果给予应有的考虑。
(3)简化程序的要求。协议中还规定了对于程序的简化要求。一是申请表格应尽可能简单;二是申请程序和在适用情况下的展期申请程序应尽可能简单,应允许申请者有一段合理的期限提交许可证申请,如有截止日期,则该期限应至少为21天,并应规定如在此期限内未收到足够的申请,该期限可以延长;三是申请者应只需接洽与申请有关的一个行政机构,如确实不可避免需接洽一个以上的行政机构,则申请者应无需接洽三个以上的行政机构。
(4)申请宽容的要求。该要求体现在第1条第7、8两款上。第7款规定:No application shall be refused for minor documentation errors which do not alter basic data contained therein. No penalty greater than necessary to serve merely as a warning shall be imposed in respect of any omission or mistake in documentation or procedures which is obviously made without fraudulent intent or gross negligence;第8款规定:Licensed imports shall not be refused for minor variations in value, quantity or weight from the amount designated on the licence due to differences occurring during shipment, differences incidental to bulk loading and other minor differences consistent with normal commercial practice。
(5)用汇平等的要求。协议规定:The foreign exchange necessary to pay for licensed imports shall be made available to licence holders on the same basis as to importers of goods not requiring import licences。
