Committee on Subsidies
and Countervailing Measures
PERMANENT GROUP OF EXPERTS
Note from the Chairperson
The Secretariat has received a communication from Mr. A.V. Ganesan in which Mr. Ganesan
has resigned his membership in the PGE as of 18 May 2000 in view of his appointment, effective
1 June 2000, to the Appellate Body.
In accordance with a decision by the Committee (G/SCM/4), the Committee therefore will
need to elect a new expert to the PGE to complete the remainder of Mr. Ganesan's term, which expires
in spring 2002.  Further pursuant to that decision, that election shall be on the basis of a proposal by
the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the Committee.  Such proposals shall be based on
suggestions submitted by Members and shall be made after informal consultations.  The suggestionsmay include candidates of nationalities other than that of the suggesting Member.  Candidates
proposed shall meet the requirement that the PGE be composed of independent persons, highly
qualified in the fields of subsidies and trade relations.
It is proposed that the election of the new member of the PGE take place at the Committee's
fall 2000 regular meeting.
Suggestions of experts to replace Mr. Ganesan should be submitted to me via the WTO
Secretariat (Ms. Clarisse Morgan) not later than 1 September 2000.

The following communication by the United States is being circulated:
_______________
Change in Disease Status of Japan wi th regard to Foot-and-Mouth Disease
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA, is amending the regulations
governing the importation of certain animals, meat, and other animal products by adding Japan to the
list of regions that are considered free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease. APHIS is taking this
action because we have determined that Japan is now free of foot-and-mouth disease.  We are alsoadding Japan to the list of regions that are subject to certain restrictions because of their proximity to
or trading relationships with rinderpest- or foot -and-mouth disease-affected countries.  The proposed
rule on this measure was earlier notified as G/SPS/N/USA/500.  These actions update the disease
status of Japan with regard to foot-and-mouth disease while continuing to protect the United States
from an introduction of rinderpest and foot-and-m outh disease by providing additional requirements
for meat and meat products imported into the United States from Japan.
This regulation is effective 7 January 2002.
The full text of this addendum (final rule) is available from the address below.

WTO WORKING PARTY ADOPTS ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON
PRESHIPMENT INSPECTION
The WTO Working Party on Preshipment Inspection completed its work on 12 March with
the adoption of its final report to the General Council. In addition to recommendations in its 1997
report, the Working Party added the following:
• Governments must ensure that preshipment inspec tion (PSI) contracts are in conformity with the
provisions of the WTO PSI Agreement, and encourage Members to consider following the model
contract wherever possible;
• Governments should examine incorporating the principles of selectivity and risk assessment in
their contracts;
• Governments who consider having their PSI programmes audited should be guided by principles
contained in an annex to the report, or ensure that the principles in the Agreement such as non-discrimination and national treatment are respected; and
• Developed countries ensure that the developing countries receive the necessary assistance for
domestic capacity building in order that the transition away from PSI can be made.
The Working Party further recommended that the future monitoring of the Agreement should
be undertaken initially by the WTO Committee on Customs Valuation.
The Working Party Chairman, Mr. Edward Brow n (United Kingdom), said that the positive
spirit of cooperation between exporting and PSI-using Members had produced a good result. He
added that inviting inputs from key players like the International Chamber of Commerce and the
International Federation of Inspection Agencies had also contributed to the successful completion of
the body's work.PRESS/125
Page 2/3
Note to Editors:
Preshipment inspection is the practice of employing specialized private companies to check
shipment details--essentially price, quantity and quality--of goods ordered overseas. Currently used by
34 developing country members of the WTO, the purpose is to safeguard national financial interests
(prevention of capital flight and commercial fraud as well as customs duty evasion, for instance) and
to compensate for inadequacies in administrative infrastructure.
The WTO PSI Agreement recognizes that GATT principles and obligations apply to the
activities of PSI agencies mandated by governments. The obligations placed on governments which
use PSI include non-discrimination, transparency, protection of confidential business information,
avoidance of unreasonable delay, the use of specific guidelines for conducting price verification and
the avoidance of conflicts of interest by the inspection agencies. The obligations of exporting
members towards PSI-using countries include non-discrimination in the application of domestic lawsand regulations, prompt publication of those laws and regulations and the provision of technical
assistance when requested. An independent review procedure has been established to resolve disputes
between an exporter and an inspection agency.
The Working Party was established by the General Council in November 1996 to review the
Agreement.  The complete text of the Working Part y's final report (G/L/300) is available at the WTO
Website ( www.wto.org ).

AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS ON INITIATION OF
AN INVESTIGATION AND THE REASONS FOR IT
BRAZIL
The following communication, dated 10 September 2001, has been received from the
Permanent Mission of Uruguay.
_______________
The Permanent Delegation of Uruguay to the World Trade Organization (WTO) presents its
compliments to the WTO Secretariat and, in its capacity as pro-tempore  coordinator of MERCOSUR,
has the honour to notify the Committee on Safeguards of the initiation, by Brazil, of an investigation
process relating to serious injury or threat thereof and the reasons for it.  This notification is submitted
in compliance with the "Regulation on the Applica tion of Safeguard Measures to Imports from Non-
Member Countries of MERCOSUR" and with Arti cle 12.1(a) of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards,
following the agreed format for notif ications (G/SG/W/1, 23 February 1995).
1. Specify the date when the investigation was initiated
10 August 2001
2. Specify the product subject to the investigation
Coconuts, classified under the NCM/HS 0801.11.10
3. Provide the reasons for the in itiation of the investigation
The investigation was initiated on the basis of an application submitted by Sindicato Nacional
dos Produtores de Coco do Brasil - SINDCOCO on behalf of the domestic industry.  For purposes of
determination of the existence of serious injury or threat thereof, "domestic industry" are all coconut
producers, members of SINDCOCO, that account for 100 per cent of total national production.
Data concerning the evolution of imports and the situation of the domestic industry during the
period covered (from November 1997 to October 2000) shows that imports increased 153.2 per cent
in quantity, and 135.9 per cent in value terms.  As a result of import growth during the period, the
share of the domestic industry in apparent consumption has been reduced.  There was, also, a
reduction in levels of production, sales, planted areas, number of jobs, net income and prices indollars, and an improvement in the difference between import prices and the prices of the domestic
industry.G/SG/N/6/BRA/2
Page 2
The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether the safeguard measure is needed in
order to remedy serious injury or threat thereof caused by imports, if there are other factors than
increased imports causing serious injury or threat thereof, and if the adjustment undertaking presented
by the domestic industry is adequate to the domestic  industry so as to compete with imports by the
end of the period specified.

Thailand has explained why its plans for phasing out these programmes, and the reasons for
the duration of the phase-out plans.  For two of these programmes, incentives provided under the
Board of Investments’ Promotion Incentives and under the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand,this phase-out is expected to last 13 and 10 year s, respectively.  Could Thailand please explain how,
in its view, the phase-out periods for these programmes are consistent with developing country
Members’ original obligation to phase-out their export subsidies - preferably in a progressive manner
-  the normal extension procedures under Article 27.4, and the extension period provided for in the
special extension procedures under G/SCM/39?

Preguntas formuladas por los ESTADOS UNIDOS
en relación con la notificación de LETONIA1
Se ha recibido de la Misión Permanente de los Estados Unidos la siguiente comunicación,
de fecha 9 de abril de 2003.
_______________
1. En el artículo 3 del Reglamento Nº 234, Procedimientos para la aplicación de ciertas
disposiciones de la Ley Antidumping ("Reglamento Nº 234"), se prevé la utilización de los precios de
otros vendedores o productores para determinar el valor normal en determinadas circunstancias.
¿Qué relación guarda el artículo 3 con el artículo 5 del Reglamento Nº 234, en el que se prevé la
utilización de las ventas o los costos de producción de terceros países para la determinación del valor
normal?
2. A efectos del establecimiento de la existencia de amenaza de daño importante, en el párrafo 7
del artículo 3 del Acuerdo Antidumping se dice que la modificación de las circunstancias que daría
lugar a una situación en la cual el dumping causaría un daño deberá ser claramente prevista e
inminente.  En el artículo 29 del Reglamento Nº 234 se exige que esa modificación de las
circunstancias sea claramente previsible e inevitable.  ¿Qué significa el término "inevitable" en ese
contexto?  ¿Significa lo mismo que la norma establecida en el párrafo 7 del artículo 3 del AcuerdoAntidumping?
3. El párrafo 1 del artículo 18 del Reglamento Nº 234 se refiere a la determinación de un margen
de dumping preliminar a efectos de la iniciación de una investigación y la aplicación de medidasprovisionales.  ¿Impone Letonia medidas provisionales en el momento de la iniciación?  En la
afirmativa, ¿cómo es ello compatible con el párrafo 3 del artículo 7 del Acuerdo Antidumping?
Por otra parte, ¿prevé el párrafo 1 del artículo 18 del Reglamento Nº 234 que el margen de dumping
utilizado para establecer medidas provisionales sea el mismo margen de dumping utilizado para
iniciar la investigación?

           Considering that by their Decision of 8 May 2001 the Me mbers of the WTO also agreed that it
would be the last time an extension of HS96 waiver would be granted on a collective basis, but that this
would not, however, preclude Members from re questing waivers on an individual basis.
Noting  that Israel has requested a waiver for reasons explained in its request2;
Considering  that Israel would need more time to proceed with consultations or possible
Article XXVIII negotiations;
Acting  pursuant to the provisions of paragra ph 3 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement,
            Decides, in view of the exceptional circumstances, to suspend the application of the provisions
of Article II of GATT 1994, until 30 October 2003, for the purpose of enabling Israel to implement the
recommended amendments to the Harmonized Sy stem nomenclature, subject to the following
conditions:
(i) Israel shall, where necessary, promptly en ter into negotiations and consultations with
interested Members pursuant to paragr aphs 1-3 of Article  XXVIII of GATT 1994;
(ii) the negotiations and consultations mentioned above shall be completed not later than
30 October 2003;
