Note by the Secretariat  
  
1. At its meeting on 23 January 2004, the Disput e Settlement Body established a Panel pursuant 
to the request by Korea in document WT/DS296/2,  in accordance with Article 6 of the Dispute 
Settlement Understanding (DSU). 
2. At that meeting, the parties to the dispute al so agreed that the Panel should have standard 
terms of reference.  The terms of reference are, therefore, the following: 
"To examine, in the light of the relevant provisions of the covered agreements cited 
by Korea in document WT/DS296/2, the matter  referred to the DSB by Korea in that 
document, and to make such finding s as will assist the DSB in making the 
recommendations or in giving the rulings provided for in those agreements." 
3. On 23 February 2004, Korea requested the Dir ector-General to determine the composition of 
the Panel, pursuant to paragraph 7 of Article  8 of the DSU.  This paragraph provides: 
"If there is no agreement on the panelists within 20 days after the date of the 
establishment of a panel, at the request of  either party, the Director-General, in 
consultation with the Chairman of the DSB and the Chairman of the relevant Council 
or Committee, shall determine the com position of the panel by appointing the 
panelists whom the Director-General consid ers most appropriate in accordance with 
any relevant special or additional rules or  procedures of the covered agreement or 
covered agreements which are at issue in th e dispute after consulting with the parties 
to the dispute. The Chairman of the DSB shall inform the Members of the 
composition of the panel thus formed no later than 10 days after the date the 
Chairman receives such a request." 
4. On 5 March 2004, the Director-General accordingly composed the Panel as follows:

5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document:   Draft Commodities
Act Regulation on Stocks of Toys and Child Care Articles that Contain Phthalates

6. Description of content:   It is the intention of the regulation, which is supplementary to
European Commission Decision  no. 1999/815/EC of 7 December 1999 (OJ L 315), to ban
the trade in the products listed under point 6.  The European Commission Decision islimited to a ban on placing the above-mentioned products on the market.  Thus the Decision

Reference is made to the reasons of the European Commission with regard to its Decision
no. 1999/815/EC of 7 December 1999. Having regard to these reasons, it would make sensealso to introduce a trade ban on products that are already on the market.

CERTIFICATION
Schedule of Specific Commitments in Basic Telecommunications
of Brazil
Notification of Objection from the European Communities
and their Member States
The following communication has been received from the delegation of the European
Communities and their member States concerning the certification of Brazil's Schedule of Specific
Commitments in Basic Telecommunications (S/C/W/191).
_______________
The European Communities and their member States have, from the outset, supported the
process of opening up Brazil's telecommunications sector to competition and establishing a regulatory
framework for it.  The European Communities and their member States therefore attached great
importance to Brazil's participation in the negotiations on basic telecommunications in order to fulfil
its desire to consolidate this process through WTO commitments under the General Agreement on
Trade and Services.
Nevertheless, the offer submitted by Brazil in document S/C/W/191 raises a systemic problem
for the European Communities and their member States, inasmuch as it introduces legal uncertainty
vis-à-vis  foreign investment, which is furthermore contrary to what was initially negotiated.  The
European Communities and their member States are therefore unable to accept the offer as it stands.
The European Communities and their member States are ready to hold talks with Brazil with a view to
finding a satisfactory solution as rapidly as possible.

Questions Posed by the UNITED STATES
Regarding the Notification of AUSTRALIA1
The following communication, dated 13 November 1998, has been received from the
Permanent Mission of the United States.
_______________
Q.1. In its legislation, Australia defines the term "like product".  Does Australia elsewhere define
the term "directly competitive product", and, if so, what is that definition?
Q.2. Article 7, para. 1 of the Agreement on Safe guards provides that a Member shall apply
safeguard measures only for such period of time as may be necessary to prevent or remedy serious
injury "and to facilitate adjustment".  How does Au stralia plan to address the "facilitate adjustment"
requirement?  Will petitioning industries be required or encouraged to file adjustment plans?
Q.3. In the case of safeguard measures of more than three years duration, does Australia intend to
conduct mid-term reviews as required by Article 7, para. 4 of the Agreement on Safeguards?

política y de la gestión agropecuarias.  En el caso del arroz, el Consejo de Agricultura, asignará el
contingente de arroz que ha de importarse anualmente por importadores registrados del sector
privado.  Tailandia desearía recabar más información sobre los criterios y requisitos exigidos a los
importadores registrados que podrían participar en la importación de arroz, según lo establecido por el
Consejo de Agricultura.
2. ¿Cómo se determinan las especificaciones del arroz que ha de importarse?3. ¿Tiene el Taipei Chino algún plan para permitir al sector privado importar todo el contingente
de arroz debido a la demanda real del mercado sin determinar las especificaciones del arroz?
4. Sírvanse actualizar la información estadística del cuadro I, página 23 de la notificación de
manera que se incluya la cantidad de arroz importada conforme al contingente arancelario clasificado
