[Supplement]{.underline}

The following communication, dated 13 April 2004, is circulated at the
request of the delegation of Argentina.

**\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_**

I have the honour to enclose an authenticated copy of the resolution of
the Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Small- and Medium-Sized
Enterprises, Resolution No. 65 of 25 March 2004, published in the
Official Journal of 29 March 2004, which replaces Article 1 of
Resolution No. 826/99 of the former Ministry of the Economy and Public
Works and Services, which was duly notified to the Committee on
Anti-Dumping Practices and the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures (G/ADP/N/1/ARG/1/Suppl.4 -- G/SCM/N/1/ARG/1/Suppl.4).

Please circulate Resolution No. 65/2004 of the Secretariat of Industry,
Trade and Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises, in accordance with
Article 18.5 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article 25.12 of the
Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

Ministry of Economy and Production

Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Buenos Aires, 25 March 2004

HAVING REGARD TO File No. S01:0013410/2004 of the Registry of the
Ministry of Economy and Production and

WHEREAS:

Decree No. 1,326 of 10 November 1998 contains the rules and regulations
for effective implementation of the agreements on anti-dumping and
countervailing duty regimes contained in Law No. 24,425, on
International Trade Agreements (GATT).

Chapter 7 of the above-mentioned decree provides for the possibility of
requesting a review of measures in force prior to expiry of the period
of validity.

Consequently, the former Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Mining
issued Resolution No. 826 of 3 November 1999 regulating the requirements
for submitting a request for a final review owing to expiry of the
period of validity, and also the requisite time-frame.

Under the period established in Article 1 of the Resolution mentioned in
the foregoing paragraph it is appropriate to report, prior to that
period, the date of expiry for submitting an application for final
review owing to expiry of the period of validity.

Accordingly, it is appropriate to replace Article 1 of Resolution
No. 826 of 3 November 1999 of the former Secretariat of Industry, Trade
and Mining.

The Legal Department for Industry, Trade and Mining, of the
Directorate-General of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Economy and
Production, has acted appropriately.

The present resolution is issued under the powers conferred by Article 3
of Decree No. 1,326 of 10 November 1998 and Decree No. 1,283 of
24 May 2003.

Accordingly,

THE SECRETARY OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND SMALL- AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES

RESOLVES

ARTICLE 1. Article 1 of Resolution No. 826 of 3 November 1999 of the
former Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Mining is hereby replaced as
follows:

\"ARTICLE 1. A request for final review of an anti-dumping or
countervailing duty owing to the expiry of its period of validity may be
submitted by or on behalf of the domestic industry to the Office of the
Incoming Communications and Notifications Directorate of this
Secretariat, located at Avenida Julio A Roca 651, Ground Floor,
Sectors 11 and 12, no later than nine (9) months prior to the end of the
period of imposition of the anti-dumping or countervailing duty whose
termination the applicant wishes to prevent.

The Implementing Authority shall report on the expiry of the period for
submitting a request for final review owing to expiry of the period of
validity no later than in the month preceding the nine (9) months before
the end of the period for which the anti-dumping or countervailing duty
was imposed.

The Sub-Secretariat of Trade Policy and Management, as part of this
Secretariat, shall list every six months in the Official Journal the
measures that are to expire, as indicated in Annex I, which forms an
integral part of this resolution\".

ARTICLE 2. This resolution shall enter into force on the day following
publication in the Official Journal.

ARTICLE 3. For communication, publication and transmittal to the
National Directorate of Official Records.

Resolution No. 65
