- Loss on ignition (LOI) was changed from 8% by mass maximum to 10.0% by mass
maximum to enable the use of indigenous material
- The former title of this standard “Pozzolan Cement" was changed to “Blended hydraulic

satisfied when specifically required.

REPORT OF THE MEETING OF 25 FEBRUARY 2003
Note by the Secretariat1
Corrigendum
At the request of the European Communities, the following corrections should be made:
- In paragraph 5, fifth line, the word "stiffening" should be deleted.
- Paragraph 17 should read as follows:
The representative of the European Communities said that a distinction should be
made between safeguards-type provisions and emergency safeguard measures.  The
fact that paragraph 2 of Article X had not been invoked so far was a reason to ask the
"demandeurs" to provide concrete examples.  An ESM could not be used to address
structural problems.  The negotiating history of Article X indicated that, during the
Uruguay Round, attempts had been made to set up an ESM, but it had been found
unfeasible.  The distinction between a "safeguard" and an "emergency safeguardmeasure" had not been understood.  If retail distribution suffered from structural
problems, an ESM would not be the right answer. On the issue of EC approach
towards safeguards for agriculture, the EC recalled its communication on modal
application, where it clearly indicated that safeguards for goods were feasible and that
feasibility of safeguards for services had still to be proved.  Some economic
integration agreements, such as the agreement between the EC and Mexico, or
between the EC and Chile, did not contain an ESM.  On the other hand, the EEAcontained a safeguard-type provision, but  was based on a top-down approach and
contained far reaching provisions on free movement of goods, people, services and
capital which produced direct effect (i.e. that individuals could enforce through
national courts).

Constitution du Groupe spécial établi à la demande des États-Unis
Note du Secrétariat
1. À sa réunion du 31 mars 2003 (WT/DSB/M/146), l'Organe de règlement des différends
(ORD) a établi un groupe spécial, comme les Ét ats-Unis l'avaient demandé dans le document
WT/DS276/6, conformément à l'article 6 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procéduresrégissant le règlement des différends.
2. À cette réunion, les parties au différend sont aussi convenues que le Groupe spécial serait
doté du mandat type.  Ce mandat est donc le suivant:
"Examiner, à la lumière des dispositions pertinentes des accords visés cités par les
États-Unis dans le document WT/DS276/6, la question portée devant l'ORD par lesÉtats-Unis dans ce document;  faire des constatations propres à aider l'ORD à
formuler des recommandations ou à statuer sur la question, ainsi qu'il est prévu dans
lesdits accords."
3. Le 2 mai 2003, le Canada a demandé au Directeur général, en vertu de l'article 8:7 du
Mémorandum d'accord sur le règlement des différends, de déterminer la composition du Groupe
spécial.  L'article 8:7 est ainsi libellé:
"Si un accord sur la composition du groupe spécial n'intervient pas dans un délai de
20 jours après la date d'établissement du groupe, le Directeur général, à la demande
de l'une ou l'autre des parties et en consultation avec le Président de l'ORD et le
Président du Comité ou Conseil compétent, déterminera la composition du groupe
spécial en désignant les personnes qui lui paraissent les plus indiquées, conformément
aux règles ou procédures spéciales ou additionnelles pertinentes de l'accord visé oudes accords visés qui sont invoqués dans le différend, après avoir consulté les parties
au différend.  Le Président de l'ORD informera les Membres de la composition du
groupe spécial ainsi constitué au plus tard dix jours après la date à laquelle il aura
reçu une telle demande."
4. Le 12 mai 2003, le Directeur général a donné au Groupe spécial la composition suivante:
Présidente: Mme Claudia Orozco
Membres: M. Alan Matthews
