SUBSIDIES
Questions from Chile Regarding the New and Full Notification
of the United States1
The following communication, dated 18 January 1999, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Chile.
_______________
1. The Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM) offers Members the
possibility of protecting themselves against trade distortions caused by subsidies of other Members,
basically by means of:  (a) bilateral remedies (countervailing duties);  and (b) multilateral remedies
(consultations, panel).
On what article of the SCM Agreement does the United States rely to justify its granting of
export credits – "Inasmuch as other official authorities offer official financing in support of exports
from their countries, US Ex-Im Bank has offered similar financing" – on the assumption that this
criterion corresponds to a form of "protection" against distortions produced by subsidies of other
Members?
2. Why is no use made of the means provided for situations of the type described in Article 6 of
the SCM Agreement, which prescribes the multilateral remedies to be pursued in cases of seriousprejudice in third-country markets?
3. How is this type of credit administered in order to comply fully with the aim of countering
and/or neutralizing the subsidies offered by governments, as asserted in the United States notification,
without distorting trade even further?  Please ex plain the methodology used to determine the precise
amount which fulfils this aim and to determine the countries against which the subsidy could be
directed?
4. How does the Administration guarantee that the credit will not be used for exports to
countries other than those determined as destinations for subsidized exports?
5. Since the subsidy is granted for the sake of exports to third countries, which probably do not
engage in subsidization, has the United States Government estimated the effects which accumulated
export incentives produce or could produce aggregatively in the internal markets of such countries?  Is
provision made in the programme for consideration of ideas or options which the countries concernedmight wish to study in cooperation with the United States?
                                                     
1 G/SCM/N/38/USA.G/SCM/Q2/USA/15
Page 2
6. The United States notification states that its credit programme is "in full conformity with the
OECD guidelines on export credit practices and, concomitantly, the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures".  Indeed, on the basi s of subparagraph (k) of Annex I to the SCM
Agreement, it is concluded that, through compliance with the OECD guidelines on export credit
practices, this type of programme would be set apart from those considered as export subsidies which,as such, are prohibited.  However, we should be grateful if the United States would illustrate to the
Committee the OECD Agreement's guidelines in respect of guarantees, insurance and export credit.

Status Report by the European Communities

Status Report on the Implementation of the Recommendations and Rulings in the
Dispute regarding European Communities – Regime for the Importation,
Sale and Distribution of Bananas
The European Communities informs the DSB that no new events which would substantially
modify the situation have occurred since the last report presented on 24 February last.  The European
Communities therefore refers the DSB to its previous report.  The European Communities confirms inparticular that it has continued bilateral discussions with the WTO Members concerned as well as
other interested parties.  There continue to be  divergent views expressed by the main parties
concerned, and even where there is apparent agreement, differences emerge regarding the details.  As
a result, no agreed conclusions have been reached yet.

  Los Estados Unidos presentan este informe de  conformidad con el pá rrafo 6 del artículo 21 
del Entendimiento relativo a las normas y procedimie ntos por los que se rige la solución de 
diferencias . 
 
 El 23 de agosto de 2001, el Órgano de Solución de Diferencias ("OSD") adoptó sus 
recomendaciones y resoluciones en el asunto Estados Unidos - Medidas antidumping sobre 
determinados productos de acero laminado en caliente procedentes del Japón (WT/DS184).  En la 
siguiente reunión del OSD, celebrada el 10 de sep tiembre de 2001, los Estados Unidos informaron a 
ese Órgano de su propósito de aplicar las recome ndaciones y resoluciones relativas a dicho asunto.  
En la misma ocasión, los Estados Unidos también informaron al OSD de que sería necesario un 
"plazo prudencial" para completar ese proceso.  El  19 de febrero de 2002, un  árbitro determinó que 
15 meses constituía un plazo prudencial para la apli cación, es decir hasta el 23 de noviembre de 2002.  
El 5 de diciembre de 2002, el OSD prorrogó este plazo hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2003, o hasta el final del primer período de sesiones del Congreso en su legislatura actual, si fuera anterior, y el 10 de 
diciembre de 2003 lo prorrogó hasta el 31 de julio de 2004. 
  El 22 de noviembre de 2002, en la investigación en materia de derechos antidumping sobre el 
acero laminado en caliente, el Departamento de Co mercio de los Estados Unidos emitió una nueva 
determinación definitiva que aplica las recomendaci ones y resoluciones del OSD respecto del cálculo 
de los márgenes antidumping en esa investigación.  Los detalles de esta determinación se exponen en 
el documento WT/DS184/15/Add.3.

  Además, la Administración de los Estados Uni dos sigue apoyando las enmiendas legislativas 
específicas por las que se aplicarían las recomendaciones y resoluciones del OSD con respecto a la legislación estadounidense en materia de derechos an tidumping y está trabajando con el Congreso de 
los Estados Unidos para aprobar esas enmiendas.

 WAY CLEARED FOR KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
TO BECOME 133rd MEMBER OF THE WTO
WTO accession negotiations for the Kyrgyz Republic, concluded successfully today, paving
the way for Kyrgyz to become the 133rd and the first Commonwealth of Independent States member
to join the WTO.
At today's meeting of the Working Party on the Accession of the Kyrgyz Republic, Chairman
Jean-Marie Metzger (France) concluded that the Working Party had completed its work on the
package of accession documents (Draft Report, Draf t Protocol of Accession, and Draft Market Access
Schedules of Concessions on Goods and Services), wi th the understanding that the Accession of the
Kyrgyz Republic would be on the agenda of the WTO's General Council for formal decision at itsfirst meeting after the summer break.
WTO procedures require that the WTO General Council approve accession. The prospective
new member must then ratify its membership in accordance with its national procedures. Membership
takes effect 30 days after the new member has notified the WTO of its ratification.
The Kyrgyz Republic first applied for WTO membership in February 1996.  A Working Party
was established in April 1996 and a first meeting was held in March 1997.  The process of accession
has been greatly accelerated by the willingness  of the Kyrgyz Republic to bring its economic and
trade regime into conformity with WTO rules and obligations as rapidly as possible, by putting inplace the necessary implementing legislation prior to accession.
The following 32 governments have requested to join the WTO. Their applications are
currently being considered by accession working parties: Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Cambodia, People's Republic of China, Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Jordan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Nepal, Oman, Sultanate of, Russian Federation, Samoa,Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Sudan, Chinese Taipei, Tonga, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu and Vietnam.
