KOREA – MEASURES AFFECTING TRADE IN COMMERCIAL VESSELS
Communication from the European Communities
The following communication, dated 10 July 2003, from the Permanent Delegation of the
European Commission to the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of that delegation.

The European Communities asks that the request for the establishment of a Panel in the above
dispute (WT/DS273/2) be placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body,
which is scheduled to take place on 21 July 2003 and that the DSB, at that meeting, establishes the

procedures provided for in Annex V of the SCM Agreement  pursuant to paragraph 2 of that Annex.  In
accordance with these procedures, the DSB is required to designate a representative to serve the

order to facilitate the task of the DSB to designate its representative pursuant to paragraph 4 of
Annex V of the SCM Agreement , the European Communities has proposed names and has consulted
with Korea.  However, in the absence of an agreement with Korea, the European Communities
request that the DSB designate a representative to serve the function of facilitating the information-
gathering process of Annex V.
Furthermore, the European Communities would like to indicate, in conformity with
paragraphs 1 and 3 of Annex V, that the market considered relevant by the European Communities isthe world market.  In order to obtain sufficiently representative data to resolve this dispute while at
the same time avoiding unnecessary burdens on other WTO Members, the European Communities
intends to address questions under the Annex V procedure to the following third-country Members:
– Japan
– China
The European Communities would also like to inform the DSB that the organization
responsible for administration of this provision within  its territory is the Directorate General for Trade of
the European Commission, Rue de la Loi 200, 1049 Brussels, Belgium.  The European Communitieswould ask that information pursuant to the Anne x V procedures be provided in writing and, if
possible, in electronic format to the Delegation of the European Commission in Geneva.

Request to Join Consultations
Communication from Colombia
The following communication, dated 9 September 1998, from the Permanent Mission of
Colombia to the Permanent Delegation of the Eur opean Commission is circulated pursuant to the
procedure provided for under Article 21.5 of the DSU.
_______________
The Government of Colombia takes note of the request of Ecuador, the United States,
Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico for consultations concerning the amendments to Regulation 404/93
adopted by the Council of Agriculture Ministers on 26 June 1998 and published on 28 July 1998 in
the EC Official Journal (EC 1637/98).
As a major banana producer whose exports to the European Union during the period 1995 to
1997 exceeded 23 per cent of total non-preferential imports, Colombia has a substantial trade interest
in this matter.
In view of this substantial trade interest and bearing in mind that Article 21 of the
Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU) contains no
special provisions concerning the participation of third parties, the Government of Colombia, pursuant
to Article XXII of the GATT and paragraph 4.11 of the DSU, requests to be joined in theabove-mentioned consultation procedures.
