ADH and DNSH above the RPA are a clear indication of the illegal use of nit rofurans and their 
metabolites. The RPA of 0.5 µg/kg for SEM in crayfish shall only be applied, when the illegal use of 
nitrofurazone on crayfish has been established.

Brief description of the notified  legal text  
 
These Regulations amend certain technical provisions in the Community Trade Mark 
Regulations  2000 (S.I. 229/2000) ( "the CTM Regulations "). The amendments are for the purpose of 
giving effect to technical changes in certain provisions and changes in terminology arising from 
Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2424 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2015, 
Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of 14 June 2017 on the European Union Trade Mark and 
Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1431  of 18 May 2017  implementing certain provisions of Council 
Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of 14 June 2017 on the European Union Trade Mark.  
 
As an additional consequence of Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of 14 June 2017 on the 
European Union Trade Mark, it i s no longer possible for applicants for EU trademarks to file their 
applications with a national office as all applications must now be filed directly with the European 
Union Intellectual Property Office. Therefore, the European Communities (Community Trad e Mark) 
Regulations, 1996 (S.I. No. 10/1996), which provides for the charging of a receiving or handling fee 
for receiving and forwarding EU trademark applications to the European Union Intellectual Property 
Office, is revoked in these Regulations.

INDIA – TARIFF TREATMENT ON CERTAIN GOODS IN THE INFORMATION AND 
COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY SECTOR  
COMMUNICATION FROM  THE EUROPEAN UNION  
The following communication, dated 11 December 2023 , was received from the delegation of  the 
European Union  with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).  
 
_______________  
 
 
The European Union takes note that, on 7 December 2023, India notified the WTO Secretariat and 
the European Union of its decision to appeal the r eport of the panel in " India – Tariff Treatment on 
Certain Goods in the Information and Communications Technology Sector  (WT/DS582)" by filing 
electronic copies of a Notice of Appeal and an Appellant Submission.  
Given the Appellate Body remains non -operati onal, the European Union considers that all subsequent 
procedural deadlines set out in the Appellate Body's Working Procedures are properly to be 
considered as suspended.  
When the Appellate Body resumes its functions, it should set the schedule for this ap peal. 
The European Union intends to file a written submission in this appeal within the deadline to be 
determined by the Appellate Body once it resumes its functions. The European Union also intends to 
participate and make oral statements at the hearing to  be convened by the Appellate Body.  
The European Union wishes to note that it disagrees with all of India's allegations of errors of law 
and legal interpretation in the Panel's Report as set out in its Notice of Appeal and Appellant 
Submission.  
The Europea n Union is providing a copy of this communication directly to India and the third -parties 
to this dispute.
