UNITED STATES  – MEASURES ON CERTAIN SEMICONDUCTOR AND OTHER PRODUCTS, 
AND RELATED SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES  
COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNITED STATES  
The following communication, dated 22 December 2022 , was received from the delegation of the 
United States  with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).  
 
 
_______________  
 
 
On December 12, 2022, the United States received China's letter of the same date requesting 
consultatio ns pursuant to Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the 
Settlement of Disputes , Article XXII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 
("GATT  1994"), Article XXII of the General Agreement on Trade in Services ("GATS"), Article 8 of 
the Agreement on Trade -Related Investment Measures , and Article 64.1 of the Agreement on 
Trade -Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights ("TRIPS Agreement").  
 
China's request concerns certain measures of the United States taken pursuant to the Export Control 
Reform Act of 2018 and its implementing regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, to 
protect U.S. national security.  Issues of national security are political matters not susceptible to 
review or capable of resolution by WT O dispute settlement.  Every Member of the WTO retains the 
authority to determine for itself those measures that it considers necessary to the protection of its 
essential security interests, as is reflected in the text of Article XXI of the GATT 1994, Arti cle XIV bis 
of the GATS, and Article 73 of the TRIPS Agreement.  
 
Without prejudice to the U.S. view that the measures cited by China are issues of national security 
not susceptible to review or capable of resolution by WTO dispute settlement, the United States 
accepts the request of China to enter into consultations.  We stand ready to confer with officials from 
your mission on a mutually convenient date for these consultations.

CHINA – MEASURES CONCERNING  THE IMPORTATION OF CANOLA SEED FROM CANADA  
COMMUNICATION  FROM THE PANEL  
The following communication, dated 13 June 2022 , addressed to the Chairperson of the Dispute 
Settlement Body (DSB), is circulated in accordance with Article  12.9 of the Dispute Settlement 
Understanding (DSU).  
 
_______________  
 
 
Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes 
(DSU) provides that the period in which a panel shall conduct its examination, from the date that 
the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the date the final 
report is issued to the parties to the dispute, shall, as a general rule, not exceed six  months.  
 
Article 12.9 of the DSU pro vides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within 
six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and indicate 
the reasons, together with an estimate of the period within which it will issue its report.  
 
The Panel on China – Measures Concerning the Importation of Canola Seed from Canada  (DS589) 
was established by the DSB on 26 July 2021  and composed on 10 November 2021 . 
 
Due to the number and complexity of the issues before the Panel, delays caused by travel restrictions 
related to the global COVID -19 pandemic, and changes to the Panel's Timetable made at the request 
of the parties, the Panel does not expect to issue its final re port to the parties prior to the end 
of 2022.  
 
The report will only be available to the public once it is circulated to the Members in all three working 
languages of the WTO. The date of circulation depends on completion of translation and the Panel is 
not in a position to provide an estimated circulation date at this time.  
 
I would be grateful if you would circulate this letter to the DSB.

RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY BOLIVIA ON PERUVIAN  
AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS (STC NO. 530) 
COMMUNICATION FROM PERU  
The following communication, received on 29 November 2023, is being circulated at the request of 
the delegation of Peru. 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  Peru would like, once again, to express before WTO Memb ers its specific trade concern regarding 
various restrictive measures that, since 2017, have been preventing the entry into Bolivia of Peruvian 
exports of whole trout.  
2.  It is important to point out that, six years ago, the Bolivian health authority official ly 
communicated to Peru the approval of the health certificate for the exportation of fresh or 
chilled/whole or loose trout, along with the corresponding commitments to allow the export of whole 
trout to Bolivia.  
3.  However, despite the fact that the Peruvian  health authority has been carrying out activities at 
the border that would allow trout to be marketed and a safe and healthy product to be guaranteed, 
Bolivia continues to prevent the entry of this product even though a health certificate was agreed 
upon over six years ago.  
4.  As a result, Peru has been expressing its deep concern about Bolivia's disregard for the 
international commitments taken on under the WTO SPS Agreement that relate to the principle of 
transparency, as Bolivia has failed to even notify W TO Members of any of its domestic standards, 
let alone provide a 60 -day comment period for other countries.  
5.  In light of the above, we ask Bolivia to rescind any restrictions in place on exports of whole 
Peruvian trout.
