NOTIFICATION OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS UNDER
ARTICLES 18.5 AND 32.6 OF THE AGREEMENTS
Questions Posed by the EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Regarding the Notification of PERU1
Supplement
The following communication, dated 27 August 2003, has been received from the Permanent
Delegation of the European Commission.
_______________
1. Title IV:  does Peru have any provisions on cumulation of imports in accordance with
Article 3.3 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement (“ADA”)?
2. Article 20(ii) provides that in exceptional circumstances the territory may be divided into two
or more competitive markets in accordance with Article 4.1(ii) ADA, but does not contain a provision
corresponding to Article 4.2 ADA.  Please clarify whether Article 4.2 ADA will be applied directly.
3. Article 28, paragraph 2 provides that the interested parties may submit comments on the
document of Essential Facts within a maximum of ten days calculated from the day following their
notification.  Can this time-limit be extended, e.g. in cases where the notification and the receipt of
this document do not timely coincide?
4. Pursuant to Article 29, paragraph 3 the Commission shall impose a fine on parties who
obstruct the taking of evidence (…), or in any way hinder or obstruct the normal conduct of the
investigation procedure.  Please clarify how Peru intends to apply this provision.  How is it consistent
with the right of interested parties not to cooperate in an investigation?
5. Title VI, Chapter II: please clarify whether Peru carries out verification visits in accordance
with Article 6.7 ADA and has any rules on such verifications?
6. Article 46, paragraph 2 states that provisional or definitive anti-dumping duties constitute
fines and not any form of taxation.  Please clarify the meaning and legal consequences of thisprovision.
7. Please clarify whether Article 52 constitutes the implementation of Article 9.3.2 ADA?

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE:  OUTSTANDING BUSINESS 
 
Note by the Secretariat
 
 
 
1. At the 47th Session of the Committee on Trade and Development, Members discussed the 
revised Technical Assistance Plan  (WT/COMTD/W/119/Rev.1) and authorized the Secretariat to 
proceed with implementation of the Plan, with th e exception of all the regional trade policy courses, 
which would appear in an Addendum , pending consultations on the venue of the Course to be held for 
French-speaking Africa.  Moreover, the outreach activ ities would also be put in the Addendum, with a 
footnote stating that "Within the context of a full review of technical assist ance and capacity-building, 
a decision will be taken on the inclusion of su ch regional activities in technical assistance and 
capacity-building for subsequent years". 
2. Following that Session, the Secretariat prepared a further Revision 
(WT/COMTD/W/119/Rev.2) and an Addendum (W T/COMTD/W/119/Rev.2/Add.1), containing the 
regional trade policy courses, as well as the outreach activities.  These documents were circulated to 
the Members on 12 December 2003. 
3. Further consultations were held  and fact-finding missions undertak en in order to facilitate a 
decision on the venue for the Regional Trade Policy Course for French-speaking Africa.  As a result 
of these consultations and a technical and obj ective evaluation of the facilities and academic 
opportunities on offer, the Director-General deci ded to hold the course at the Université 
Mohammed V (Souissi) in Rabat.  
4. The venues for the regional trade policy courses in 2004 are thus as follows: 
• for the Caribbean (University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica); 
• for English-speaking Africa (University of Nairobi); 
• for French-speaking Africa (University Mohammed V (Souissi), Rabat);  and, 
• for Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong University). 
5. In light of the solution that has been found to this outstanding issue, the text relating to the 
regional trade policy courses will be reintegrated into the body of the TA Plan (WT/COMTD/W/119/Rev.3).  The Addendum to th is document (WT/COMTD/W/119/Rev.3/Add.1) 
will concern only the outreach activities.

 Les questions sont fondées sur les réponses de la Chine figurant dans le document 
IP/Q/CHN/1/Add.2, IP/Q2/CHN/1/Add.2, IP/Q3/CHN/1/Add.2, IP/Q4/CHN/1/Add.2. 
 1. En ce qui concerne la réponse n° 1, veuillez co mmuniquer le calendrier détaillé de la mise en 
place du Règlement sur les critères relatifs à la re devance pour les organismes de radiodiffusion et de 
télévision, figurant au programme législatif de 20 04 du Bureau des affaires juridiques, qui relève du 
Conseil d'État.  Par ailleurs, veuillez décrire les problèmes qui ont pu se poser dans les consultations 
entre le Bureau d'État des droits d'auteur et  les organismes nationaux de radiodiffusion et de 
télévision. 
2. S'agissant de la réponse n° 2, nous apprécions l es progrès réalisés par la Chine dans l'examen 
de l'interprétation judiciaire concernant l'applicati on des lois pénales applicables aux atteintes portées 
aux droits de propriété intell ectuelle.  Nous avons entendu di re que le gouvernement chinois 
envisageait d'organiser des audiences publiques au su jet de cette interprétation dans le courant de 
l'année.  Veuillez nous informer de la pro cédure détaillée, si celle-ci a été arrêtée. 
3. Pour ce qui est de la réponse n° 4, est-il exact que les éléments de preuve que les détenteurs 
de droits devraient présenter pour prouver que le co mportement illégal a nui à l'intérêt général afin 
d'engager une procédure en vue de sanctions administratives sont les mêmes que ceux qui sont 
mentionnés à l'article 12 du Règlement concernant l es sanctions administratives en matière de droit 
d'auteur? 
 Il est très difficile de déterminer si un détent eur de droits peut avoir recours à la procédure 
relative aux sanctions administratives dans la mesure  où le Bureau des droits d'auteur ou un tribunal 
règle chaque affaire différemment.  Il semblerait nécessaire que l'organe législatif établisse une 
interprétation complémentaire concernant les ty pes d'actes considérés comme nuisant à l'intérêt 
général.  Veuillez nous communiquer l'opinion du gouvernement chinois sur cette question.  Par 
ailleurs, veuillez indiquer si le gouvernement chinois envisage une telle interprétation.

CINQUIÈME SESSION EXTRAORDINAIRE DU COMITÉ DE L'AGRICULTURE

Déclaration de la Slovénie
G/AG/NG/W/94 (Proposition de la Suisse)
La délégation slovène remercie sincèrement la Suisse d'avoir présenté une proposition
complète.  En tant que petit pays en transition, la Slovénie appuie résolument cette proposition, selonlaquelle il faudrait aussi accorder une attention particulière, en ce qui concerne différents aspects de la
réforme agricole, aux pays en transition et aux petits pays vulnérables, entre autres économies
agricoles.  De notre point de vue, il est très important que la Suisse ait reconnu effectivement, dans sa
proposition, les problèmes uniques auxquels ces pays sont confrontés dans le secteur agricole et qu'il
faudrait prendre en compte en établissant les nouvelles disciplines et en prenant de nouveauxengagements.
Nous approuvons résolument l'approche proposée pour les considérations autres que d'ordre
commercial, qui méritent d'être examinées sérieusement.  Cela concerne en particulier les mesures
assurant durablement la vitalité des zones rurales.  Nous attendons avec intérêt les discussions sur les
instruments à utiliser pour traiter les considérations autres que d'ordre commercial.
En outre, la Slovénie se félicite de ce que la proposition traite d'autres objectifs de la politique
agricole, tels que la protection des indications géographiques, la problématique des méthodes de
production et l'internalisation des coûts environnementaux ou ses effets externes.  Nous convenons
qu'il est indispensable de progresser dans ces domaines pour parvenir à des résultats ambitieux dans le
processus de réforme agricole.
Nous jugeons très importantes les idées relatives aux questions de sécurité sanitaire des
produits alimentaires en rapport avec la protection du consommateur, car ces questions font
intégralement partie de notre politique et de notre réglementation agricoles nationales.
Nous partageons le point de vue exprimé sur la réduction progressive des droits de douane
dans les négociations sur l'accès aux marchés.  Pour les petits pays, il est de la plus haute importance
que les droits de douane soient négociés par produit et au cas par cas, compte tenu des considérations
autres que d'ordre commercial.

Documento de Turquía   
 
 
 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 11 de oc tubre de 2004, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación de Turquía.  
_______________ 
 
  Consciente de la importancia vital de las visitas de verificación, que da a la autoridad 
investigadora la oportunidad de verificar la in formación disponible y de aclarar las cuestiones 
pertinentes utilizando los documentos originales, la autoridad turca en materia de medidas 
antidumping considera que las investigaciones in situ  pueden contribuir sobremanera a la 
transparencia y previsibilidad de los procedimient os y a la exactitud de los resultados finales. 
  La autoridad turca realiza las visitas de veri ficación con arreglo al artículo 21 del Reglamento 
sobre la prevención de la competencia desleal de las importaciones
 elaborado de conformidad con el 
Acuerdo Antidumping. 
 
 En el marco del procedimiento antidumping de Turquía, se informa a las empresas exportadoras de las visitas de verificación en la et apa inicial de la inves tigación y se realizan las 
investigaciones in situ en sus locales a menos que el Gobierno del Miembro se oponga a la 
investigación.   
 Tras enviar las notificaciones a las empresas y al Gobierno del Miembro en cuestión y 
después de fijados la fecha y el programa de la visita de verificación, se facilita a las empresas una lista detallada de las cuestiones que serán objeto de  verificación y de los nombres de los funcionarios 
encargados de la investigación in situ . 
 
 Después de realizar la visita de verificación,  la autoridad investigadora facilitará información 
sobre los detalles de la visita y los datos utiliza dos para calcular el valor normal, el precio de 
exportación y el margen de dumping para la empr esa exportadora considerada, así como sobre las 
constataciones de la investigación.  Esta declaraci ón proporciona a la empresa suficiente información 
sobre cómo los datos iniciales que presentó fueron utilizados en los cálculos y sobre la utilización de 
un dato concreto tal como aparecía en la respuesta original de la empresa al cuestionario o sobre su 
eventual modificación durante la verificación.   El objeto de facilitar dicha información es pe rmitir que el exportador comprenda cómo se 
establece el margen de dumping y darle de esta fo rma una oportunidad efectiva de solicitar un cambio 
si es necesario.
