SUBVENTIONS
Demandes au titre de l'article 27.4 de l'Accord sur les

Réponses de la BOLIVIE aux questions posées
par la SUISSE1 et le JAPON2
La Mission permanente de la République de Bolivie a fait parvenir au Secrétariat la
communication ci-après, datée du 20 juin 2002.
_______________
SUISSE
1. La Suisse note que la Bolivie se réserve le droit de recourir aux procédures énoncées
dans le document G/SCM/39.  Selon sa dernière no tification complète (G/SCM/N/48), la Bolivie
ne maintient aucune subvention sur son territoire.  Elle est en conséquence priée de présenter
une notification complète des programmes pour lesquels elle demande une prorogation de la
période de transition suivant le modèle qui se trouve dans le document G/SCM/6 (voir lepoint 3 a) du document G/SCM/39).
Réponse
La Bolivie fait savoir que la notification complète contenant des informations détaillées et des
éclaircissements sur les programmes mentionnés figu re dans le document G/SCM/N/74/BOL/Suppl.1.
JAPON
Zones franches
1. Alors que la Loi sur les zones franches semble avoir déjà été en vigueur en 2000, la
Bolivie a notifié le 9 mai 2000 sous couvert du document G/SCM/N/48/BOL qu'il n'existait pas
de mesures qui doivent être notifiées au titre de  l'article 25.  La Bolivie pourrait-elle expliquer
cette contradiction?

2. La Bolivie pourrait-elle expliquer la conformité de l'établissement de ce régime en
mars 2000 avec la prescription en matière de statu quo visée à l'article 27.4 de l'Accord sur les
subventions et les mesures compensatoires?
Réponse
La Bolivie a l'honneur de fournir la réponse suivante :
"Les programmes notifiés par la Bolivie ne constituent pas des subventions au sens de
l'article premier de l'Accord sur les subventions et  les mesures compensatoires de l'OMC, étant donné
que ces programmes relèvent du principe de neutralité fiscale."

ARGENTINA – DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES ON
IMPORTS OF DRILL BITS FROM ITALY
Request for Consultations by the European Communities
The following communication, dated 14 January 1999, from the Permanent Delegation of the
European Commission to the Permanent Mission of Argentina and to the Chairman of the Dispute
Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU.
_______________
On behalf of the European Communities, I hereby request consultations with Argentina
pursuant to Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of
Disputes and Articles 1, 5.10 and 17.3 of the Agr eement on Implementation of Article VI of the
GATT 1994 (the "Anti-Dumping Agreement", ADA), with regard to the definitive anti-dumping
measures imposed by Argentina on imports of drill bits from Italy.
On 12 September 1998, Argentina imposed definitive anti-dumping measures on the above
imports.  The investigation which led to the imposition of these measures had been initiated on
21 February 1997.
Article 5.10 ADA provides that "[I]nvestigations shall, except in special circumstances, be
concluded within one year, and in no case more than 18 months, after their initiation".  In this case,
Argentina's investigation exceeded 18 months.  Consequently, Argentina has not complied with this
provision and, thus, has also violated Article 1 ADA.
I look forward to receiving your reply to this request from the European Communities and to
setting a mutually convenient date for these consultations.
A copy of this letter has been sent to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body and to the
Chairman of the Anti-Dumping Committee.
