The right of foreign investment enterprises (FIEs) to import and distribute goods in China is one of the focal areas of China's accession to the WTO and is provided for in both China's Protocol of the Accession (the Protocol) and the Schedule of Specific Commitments on Services (the Schedule), Annex 9 of the Protocol. Accordingly, a specific section on the extent and time schedule of the opening of the wholesale and retail trade sectors to foreign investment is included in the new Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue  (外商投资产业指导目录) issued on March 11 2002.
