The Standard ISO 3166 sets out, in an introductory part, its scope and field of application as being to provide a two- letter and a three-letter alphabetic code, for representing

the names of countries, dependencies and other areas ofAt its first session, held in January 1972, the Group of

Experts on Automatic Data Processing and Coding de- cided to include in its programme of work the following task: "To define requirements for country codes for use in international trade, to be forwarded to ISO and to be pursued in co-operation with it". It was entrusted to the secretariat to pursue this task. At a Meeting of the relevant ISO body, Working Group 2 of Technical Committee 46 "Documentation" in April

1972, it was agreed to set up a Co-ordination Committee

with the task to prepare proposals regarding a list of entities, candidate numerical and alphabetical codes and maintenance arrangements. This Committee was com- posed of one representative each from ISO and ITU and of the UNCTAD Trade Facilitation Adviser. The Report of the Co-ordinating Committee was accepted with some amendments by the Working Group 2 of TC 46 and a draft International Standard was elaborated which has been considered at several meetings of the Group of Experts on Automatic Data Processing and Coding. The draft International Standard was adopted at the plenary meeting of TC 46 in July 1974 and was accepted and published as an International Standard by ISO Council in

September 1974.

At the 1st, 2nd and 3rd sessions of the Working Party on Facilitation of International Trade Procedures, a number of delegations made observations regarding possibility of using this code in international trade, as well as on the question of incompleteness of the list of names of coun- tries and territories.
