SUBSIDIES
Requests Pursuant to Article 27.4 of the Agreement on Subsidies
and Countervailing Measures
Replies by BOLIVIA to Questions Posed by
SWITZERLAND1 and JAPAN2
The following communication, dated 20 June 2002, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Bolivia.
_______________
SWITZERLAND
1. Switzerland takes note of Bolivia’s reservation of rights under the procedures set out in
G/SCM/39.  According to its latest full notification (G/SCM/N/48) Bolivia does not maintain any
subsidies within its territory.  Hence, Bolivia is urged to submit a full notification for the
programmes it is seeking an extension of the tran sition periods following the notification format
specified in document G/SCM/6 (cf. item 3a of document G/SCM/39).
Reply
Bolivia's full notification, including more detailed and explanatory information on the
programmes referred to, has been publish ed in document G/SCM/N/74/BOL/Suppl.1.
JAPAN
Free zones
1. While the Law on Free Zones seems to have already been effective in 2000, Bolivia
notified in G/SCM/N/48/BOL on 9 May 2000 that there were no measures which require
notification under Article 25.  Could Bolivia please explain this contradiction?
2. Could Bolivia please explain the conformity of establishment of this regime in
March 2000 with the standstill requirement referred to in Article 27.4 of the ASCM?

Reply
Bolivia has the honour to submit the following reply:
"The programmes notified by Bolivia are not subsidized within the meaning of Article 1 of
the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, since they are based on the
principle of tax neutrality."

UNITED STATES – ANTI-DUMPING ACT OF 1916  
 
Status Report by the United States
 
 
Addendum  
 
  The following communication, dated 8 July 2004, from the delegation of the United States to the Chairperson 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 Act of 1916  
(WT/DS136 and WT/DS162)  
   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 26 September 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and rulings in United States – Anti-Dumping Act of 1916  (WT/DS136 and WT/DS162).  At the 
following DSB meeting on 23 October 2000, the United States informed the DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations and rulings of  the DSB in connection with this matter. 
 
 On 19 May 2003, legislation repealing the 1916 Act and terminating all pending cases was 
introduced in the US Senate (S. 1080).  Other b ills repealing the 1916 Act were introduced in the 
US House of Representatives on 4 March 2003 (H .R. 1073), and in the Senate on 23 May 2003 
(S. 1155).  On 29 January 2004, H.R. 1073 was re ported favourably out of the Committee on the 
Judiciary of the US House of Representatives. 
 
 On 30 June 2004, Ambassador Zoellick wrote a le tter to the leadership of the US House of 
Representatives urging support for legislation to re peal the 1916 Act.  The Ambassador emphasized 
the importance of passing repeal legislation "at the earliest opportunity".  
 The US Administration is continuing to work with Congress to enact legislation.  The United 
States will continue to confer with the European Communities and Japan in order to reach a mutually 
satisfactory resolution of this matter.
