QUESTIONS TO THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Submission from Peru at the Meeting of 10-11 July 2001
Given the assurances in the White Paper that European consumers shall be provided with
essential and accurate information, as well as the need stressed by Commissioner Byrne for the
European Communities to re-establish public confidence in its food supply, law, science and control;
We would appreciate if the European Communities could explain:
1. Has it been determined that pure fishmeal may contain the prion which causes Transmissible
Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSB's) capable  of causing BSE disease in ruminants?
2. If not, why has fishmeal been tempor arily prohibited in ruminant diets?
3. Could such prohibition have an effect on higher yields, protein contents, presence of omega
fatty acids, immunity or better disease resistance, fertility, general resilience, and any other
capabilities and nutritional values in dairy cows, beef cattle, poultry and pigs?
4. Have the Food and Veterinary Office in Dublin  and/or the EC member States veterinary
services determined that there is any conclusive  data indicating that fishmeal is more cross-
contaminated with mammalian meat and bone meal (MMBM) than other food ingredients?
5. If such determination was made as the result of careful examination or other appropriate
technical and scientific evaluation, has the Commission taken, by itself and/or with thecooperation of the EU Food Industry, the steps to put in place an EC fishmeal scheme to
ensure elimination of the risk of any fraudulent or negligent mixing?

Acuerdo sobre Subvenciones y Medidas Compensatorias
Pregunta formulada por el  JAPÓN relativa a la
notificación de ANTIGUA Y BARBUDA1
Se ha recibido de la Misión Permanente del Japón la siguiente comunicación, de fecha 4 de
abril de 2002.
_______________
El Japón presenta la siguiente pregunta para obtener aclaraciones sobre determinados aspectos
de la solicitud de prórroga del período de transición para las subvenciones a la exportación  presentada
por Antigua y Barbuda de conformidad con el párrafo 4 del artículo 27 del Acuerdo sobre
Subvenciones y Medidas Compensatorias.  Además, el Japón se reserva el derecho de formular otraspreguntas.  Esa pregunta no prejuzga el apoyo del Japón a las conclusiones a que se pueda llegar.
Aunque, al parecer, la Ley de Incentivos Fiscales (capítulo 172) y la Ley Nº 12, de la Zona de
Elaboración y Libre Comercio, de 1994, remitidas por Antigua y Barbuda en el documento
G/SCM/N/71/ATG, ya estaban en vigor en 1997, el 9 de mayo de 1997 Antigua y Barbuda notificó,
en el documento G/SCM/N/16/ATG, que ninguna medi da requería notificación de conformidad con el
artículo 25.  ¿Podría Antigua y Barbuda explicar esta contradicción?
