（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。
