[Follow-up question from the EC] Could the Government of South Africa confirm that national treatment is also extended to nationals from all WTO countries, even if these countries are not Members of the Paris Convention?

At present time it is only in regard to the recognition of priority rights that national of Paris Convention Member countries get treatment different from the nationals of other countries. South Africa is in the process of preparing a suitable proclamation for publication to provide that the nationals of WTO Member countries will also enjoy recognition of priority rights. In regard to all other aspects, national treatment is accorded to the nationals of all other countries.
