Replies to Questions Posed by the UNITED STATES1
Regarding the Notification of LATVIA2
The following communication, dated 21 November 2000, has been received from the
Permanent Mission of Latvia.
_______________
Q1. In Article 1, para. 2, Latvia defines the term "like or directly competitive" to mean
"products that have like characteristics and co mponent materials that enable them to perform
the same functions and to be interchangeable." Do es Latvia view the terms "like" and "directly
competitive" as meaning the same thing, or as two different concepts?  Please explain.
Reply
Both the terms "like" and "directly competitive" are integrated in one definition - "the
products that have like characteristics and component materials that enable them to perform the samefunctions and to be interchangeable".  This definition is made in accordance with the provisions
contained in Latvian Customs Law.
Q2. Please explain how the procedure in Article 19, para. 2, relating to the extension of a
safeguard measure, is consistent with the requirements of Article 7.2 of the SafeguardsAgreement, which provides that a measure may be extended "provided that the competent
authorities … have determined … that the safeguard measure continues to be necessary to
prevent or remedy serious injury and that there is evidence that the industry is adjusting …?"
Reply
It is fully consistent with the requirements of Article 7.2 of the Safeguards Agreement,
because the Law on Safeguards is supplemented by the Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers "On
the procedure of application of safeguard meas ure" (notification G/SG/N/1/LVA/1/Suppl.1).  The
provisions of paragraph 31 in Chapter XI of these Regulations provide a further explanation andprocedure related to Article 19, para. 2 of the Law.
Q3. Does the Latvian law provide for a mid-term review of measures that exceed 3 years
duration, as required by Article 7.4 of the Safeguards Agreement?

Reply
It does, but not exactly by reproducing the wording used in the Agreement.  Paragraph 32 in
Chapter XI of the above-mentioned Regulations envisages annual review of any safeguard measuresapplied.  In this case, any measure with a duration of over 3 years shall be reviewed automatically
even earlier and more often than it is required by the Agreement.

UNITED STATES – ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES ON
CERTAIN HOT-ROLLED STEEL PRODUCTS FROM JAPAN
Status Report by the United States
Addendum
The following communication, dated 31 October 2002, from the Permanent Mission of the
United States to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6
of the DSU.
_______________
Status Report Regarding Implementation of the
DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute
United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on
Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan
(WT/DS184)
The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes .
On 23 August 2001, the Dispute Settlement B ody (DSB) adopted its recommendations and
rulings in United States - Anti-Dumping  Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan
(WT/DS184).  At the following DSB meeting on 10 September 2001, the United States informed the
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in connection withthis matter.  At that time, the United States also advised the DSB that a "reasonable period of time"
would be required to complete this process.  On 19 February 2002, an arbitrator found that 15 months,
or until 23 November 2002, constituted a reasonable time for implementation.
As the United States explained to the arbi trator, implementation of the DSB recommendations
and rulings in this dispute has both administrative and statutory aspects.  On 15 August 2002, the
US Department of Commerce published a proposed change to its "arm's-length" test in the Federal
Register , 67 Fed. Reg. 53339, and requested comments from the public by 30 August 2002, with
rebuttal comments by 6 September 2002.  The US Department of Commerce intends to apply any test
adopted to the products involved in the investigation underlying this dispute in a mannerimplementing the recommendations and rulings of the DSB.  At that time, the Department of
Commerce intends also to implement the other recommendations and rulings of the DSB with respect
to the respondents in that investigation.  With respect to the statutory aspects, the United States
Administration has held consultations with the US Congress concerning appropriate statutory
measures and continues to work with the Congress on resolving the dispute.

ESTABLECIMIENTO DE UN FONDO FIDUCIARIO PARA FACILITAR
LOS GASTOS DE VIAJE DE LOS PAÍSES MENOS ADELANTADOS
A LA CONFERENCIA MINISTERIAL DE DOHA
1. Con ocasión de las anteriores Conferencias Ministeriales de la OMC, ha sido práctica
establecer un fondo fiduciario para facilitar la participación (gastos de viaje) de los países menos
adelantados en las Conferencias, mientras que en general los países anfitriones han sufragado los
gastos de alojamiento de las delegaciones de los PMA.
2. Se estima que los gastos de viaje para la Conferencia Ministerial de Doha representarán un
presupuesto mínimo de FS 700.000 para un ministro  y dos altos funcionarios responsables del
comercio.  En este contexto, se ha pedido al Comité de Asuntos Presupuestarios, Financieros y
Administrativos que considere el siguiente proyecto de recomendación:
El Comité recomienda al Consejo General que se establezca un fondo fiduciario para
facilitar la participación de los representantes de los países menos adelantados en la
Conferencia Ministerial de Doha.  El Comité recomienda además al Consejo General
que inste a los donantes interesados a que indiquen lo antes posible a la Secretaría el
nivel del apoyo financiero que están dispuestos a proporcionar.
