The WTO secretariat's report states that "the authorities noted that the fill ratio of these quotas is low, apparently because of lack of demand". According to the trade data (WTO IDB data), however, there are substantial amounts of imports for some of the products listed in Table III.6 (Skimmed milk powder/whole milk powder) even though the secretariat's report says the amount of in quota total imports are zero. Could India kindly explain more in detail why the amount of in quota total imports are zero according to the secretariat's report while there are substantial amounts of imports according to the IDB data?
Reply: As per our record, imports of skimmed milk took place only in one year as reflected in the TPR Report at Table III.6.
