CHINA 'S ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES FOR REGISTRATION OF OVERSEAS 
MANUFACTURERS OF IMPORTED FOOD (26 NOVEMBER 2019)  
– SPECIFIC TRADE CONCERN 485  
SUBMISSION BY THE UNITED STATES  OF AMERICA  
The following submission , received on 11 November 2022, is the statement made by the United 
States of A merica at the 9 -11 November 2022 WTO SPS Committee, and is being circulated at the 
request of the Delegation of the United States  of America . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  The United States remains deeply concerned with China's continued lack of response to the 
numerous requests for scientific justification or an explanation of how Decrees 248 and 249 will 
address food safety and public health concerns and requests any risk assessments that informed the 
development of these decrees. The United States remains part icularly interested in assessments 
that justify the identification of high -risk products and the application of these measures to low -risk 
products.  
2.  The United States notes that the lack of guidance provided by China and inconsistencies in China's 
implemen tation and enforcement of the measures continue to cause considerable confusion for 
exporters and competent authorities.  
3.  The inconsistent and changing application of these administrative measures is directly leading to 
disruptions in trade. US agencies con tinue to face administrative burdens as they work to resolve 
issues with shipments held up at ports in China.  
4.  Additionally, China's General Administration of Customs, GACC, appears to require foreign 
competent authorities to perform administrative duties a nd maintain information in China's online 
system for each foreign registered facility producing certain categories of products. These types of 
administrative functions are fundamentally the responsibility of the importing country, not foreign 
food safety r egulators. GACC should ensure that all facilities are able to self -register without foreign 
competent authority involvement.  
5.  The United States also remains concerned regarding GACC's requests for additional detailed 
information from facilities and competen t authorities, such as process -specific food safety plans and 
photographs on a facility -by-facility basis, as part of a pre -market registration process. 
These  requirements have created a premarket approval regime with administrative burdens on 
foreign comp etent authorities and exporters that appear to be unnecessary and lack a risk or 
scientific justification.  
6.  We look forward to China's response to these specific requests and comments.

UNITED STATES – SECTION 110(5) OF THE US COPYRIGHT ACT  
STATUS REPORT BY THE UNITED STATES  
Addendum  
The following communication , dated  16 January 2023 , from the delegation of the United  States to 
the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article  21.6 of the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Status Report Regarding Implementation of the  
DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute  
United States – Section 110(5) of the U.S. Copyright Act  
(WT/DS160)  
 
 
The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules 
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes  ("DSU").  
 
On July 27, 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and rulings 
in United States – Section 110(5) of the U.S. Copyright Act  (WT/DS160).  At the following DSB 
meeting, the United States informed the DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations 
and rulings of the DSB in connection with this matter.  As a result of discussions to find a mutually 
acceptable resolution of the dispute, the United States and the European Communities agreed 
pursuant to Article 25 of the DSU to enter into arbitration in order to determine the level of 
nullification or impairment of bene fits caused by section  110(5)(B) of the U.S. Copyright Act.  After 
the arbitration, the parties reached a temporary resolution of the dispute, which was notified to the 
DSB on June 23, 2003.  That temporary arrangement covered the period through December 2 0, 
2004.  
 
The U.S. Administration will work closely with the U.S. Congress and will continue to confer with the 
European Union in order to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of this matter.

PRESS RELEASE  
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE  
The Netherlands donates EUR 1 million to WTO Fisheries Funding 
Mechanism  
The government of the Netherlands is contributing EUR 1 million (approximately CHF  961,539) to 
the WTO Fisheries Funding Mechanism to assist developing members and least -developed country 
members in implementing the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. Ambass ador Paul Bekkers 
presented the contribution to WTO Director -General Ngozi Okonjo -Iweala on 16 June.  
 
Director -General Okonjo -Iweala said: "I extend my  heartfelt appreciation to the Netherlands for its 
contribution to the WTO Fisheries Funding Mechanism. T he Netherlands is a well -known leader in 
environmental policy and water management. Its support for the implementation of the WTO 
Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, through its contribution to the Fund, further underlines its 
commitment to sustainability. I  look forward to further collaboration with the Netherlands and 
other WTO members to build a more resilient and sustainable future for our oceans and fisheries."  
 
Ambassador Bekkers said: "Disciplining harmful fisheries subsidies is an important element in  our 
efforts to maintain healthy fish stocks. The fisheries subsidies agreement reached at the 12th 
Ministerial Conference of the WTO is a significant step towards this. With the Netherlands’ 
contribution of EUR 1 million, we aim to support quick ratificat ion and implementation of the 
agreement, and the rapid conclusion of a second comprehensive agreement."  
 
The presentation of Netherlands' donation coincides with the first anniversary of the Agreement on 
Fisheries Subsidies, which was adopted at the 12th M inisterial Conference (MC12) on 17 June 
2022.  
 
Because the new Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies will involve adjustments and enhancements to 
WTO members' legislative and administrative frameworks, transparency and notification 
requirements, and fisheries m anagement policies and practices,  Article 7 of the 
Agreement  provides for the creation of a funding mechanism to provide targeted technica l 
assistance and capacity building to help developing and least -developed country members with 
implementation.  
 
The fund is operated by the WTO with partner organizations, namely the Food and Agriculture 
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and 
the World Bank Group, which bring to bear relevant expertise and allow the WTO to leverage its 
own expertise.  
 
More information on the fund, which became operational on 8 November, is available  here. PRESS/ 928

  Including the most recent donation, the Netherlands' total contribution to the various WTO trust 
funds from 2000 to 2023 is CHF 43,321,647.

INDIA - MEDIDAS RELATIVAS A LA IMPORTACIÓN DE  
DETERMINADOS PRODUCTOS AGROPECUARIOS  
RECURSO DE LA INDIA AL ARTÍC ULO 22.6 DEL ESD  
COMUNICACIÓN DEL ÁRBITRO  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 8 de julio  de 2022, dirigida a  la Presidenta del Órgano de 
Solución de Diferencias (OSD), se distribuye a petición del Árbitro . 
 
_______________  
 
 
El artículo 22.6 del Entendimiento relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que se rige la 
solución de diferencias (ESD) establece que el árbitro distribuirá su informe dentro de los 60 días 
siguientes a la fecha de expiración del plazo prudencial.  
El plazo prudencial en esta diferencia, que fue acordado entre las partes, expiró el 19 de junio 
de 2016. Tras la solicitud de a utorización de suspensión de concesiones u otras obligaciones de 
conformidad con el artículo 22.2 del ESD presentada por los Estados Unidos al OSD y la impugnación 
por la India del nivel de suspensión de concesiones u otras obligaciones propuesto por los 
Estados  Unidos, la cuestión se sometió a arbitraje el 19 de julio de 2016, de conformidad con lo 
dispuesto en el artículo 22.6 del ESD.  
El Árbitro en esta diferencia se constituyó el 29 de junio de 2017 y quedó integrado por los tres 
miembros del Grupo Espe cial inicial. En el calendario adoptado por el Árbitro en consulta con las 
partes se establecía que el procedimiento de arbitraje se realizaría en paralelo con el procedimiento 
del artículo 21.5 en la presente diferencia, y se preveía que la fecha de distr ibución de su decisión a 
los Miembros de la OMC y al público en general sería el 23 de marzo de 2018.  
El Árbitro desea informar al OSD de que, como se ha notificado anteriormente al OSD, las partes, 
en numerosas ocasiones consecutivas desde marzo de 2018, solicitaron conjuntamente  al Árbitro 
que pospusiera la emisión de su decisión. Estas solicitudes, que fueron aceptadas por el Árbitro, se 
formularon conjuntamente con solicitudes simultáneas de que se prorrogaran los plazos para los 
trámites restante s en el procedimiento paralelo del artículo 21.5.  
El 8 de julio de 2022, el Árbitro aceptó la última solicitud de las partes de que pospusiera la emisión 
de su decisión, y ahora espera emitir su decisión en octubre de 2022.  
Por consiguiente, el Árbitro no ha podido cumplir los plazos establecidos en el artículo 22.6 del ESD.  
Le agradecería que tuviera a bien disponer la distribución de la presente carta a los Miembros 
del OSD.
