DS367:
Australia — Measures Affecting the Importation of Apples from New Zealand
At the start of the meeting, the
Chairman informed the DSB that Australia had notified the DSB of its
decision to appeal the panel report and that the report could not be
considered for adoption by the DSB until after the completion of the
appeal. The item was therefore removed from the agenda.
DS383:
United States — Anti-Dumping Measures on Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags
from Thailand
This item was on the agenda at the
request of the US. According to an agreement between Thailand and the US (WT/DS383/6), the reasonable period of time for implementation in this case
expired on 18 August 2010. At today’s meeting, the US informed the DSB
that it had implemented the rulings. The US Department of Commerce's new
determination came into effect on 28 July 2010. Thailand thanked the US
for its continued cooperation, especially its timely determination.
Thailand said that it would continue to monitor the implementation of this
determination.
Other business back to top
Under “Other business”, the
Chairman made a statement regarding the amendments to the Working
Procedures for Appellate Review. He said that after having received and
carefully considered comments made by members during the regular DSB
meeting of 18 May 2010 as well as the written comments received by the 26
May 2010 deadline, the Appellate Body had, on 27 July 2010, circulated a
communication containing the final amendments to its Working Procedures (WT/AB/WP/W/11).
Subsequently, the revised and
consolidated version of the Working Procedures for Appellate Review was
circulated on 16 August 2010 (WT/AB/WP/6).
The Chairman drew members’ attention to the fact that the modified rules
would apply to appeals initiated on or after 15 September 2010. Any
appeals initiated before 15 September 2010 remained subject to the
previous version of the Working Procedures (WT/AB/WP/5).
Next meeting back to top
The next meeting of the DSB is
scheduled for 21 September 2010.
