SUPERCALANDRÉ EN PROVENANCE DU CANADA  
RECOURS DES ÉTATS -UNIS À L'ARTICLE  22:6 DU MÉMORANDUM  
D'ACCORD SUR LE RÈGLEMENT DES DIFFÉRENDS  
La communication ci -après, datée du 26 juin 2020  et adressée par la délégation des États -Unis au 
Président de l'Organe de règlement des différends, est distribuée conformément à l'article  22:6 du

_______________  
 
 
S'agissant du recours du Canada  à l'article  22:2 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et 
procédures régissant le règlement des différends  (le "Mémorandum d'accord") dans le différend 
États-Unis – Mesures compensatoires visant le papier supercalandré  en provenance du Canada  
(WT/DS 505), les autorités de mon pays m'ont chargé de vous informe r que, conformément à 
l'article  22:6 du Mémora ndum d'accord, les États -Unis contestent le niveau de la suspension de 
concessions et obligations  connexes  proposée par le Canada  dans le document WT/ DS505/13 .1 
 
En conséque nce, comme le prévoit l'article  22:6 du Mémorandum d'accord2, la question est soumise 
à arbitrage.  
 
__________  
 
 
1 La demande présentée par le Canada  dans le document WT/DS 505/13  ne précise pas le secteur 
auquel  la suspension de certaines concessions tarifaires et  obligations connexes s'appliquerait . En 
conséquence, toute suspension proposée de concessions ou d'obligat ions dans un secteur  autre que le secteur 
des marchandises  ou au titre d'un accord autre que le GATT de 1994 ne suivrait pas les principes et procédures 
énoncés à l'article  22:3 du Mémorandum d'accord.  
2 Conformément à l'article  22:6 du Mémorandum d'accord, "si le Membre concerné conteste le niveau de

the Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) lifting the temporary ban on the importation of Meat and 
Meat By -Products (Chilled, Frozen and Processed) from Cattle originating from Japan  
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) issued the notice executive order No. 154/32 dated 
18 October 2011 entitled "Temporary Ban of the Importation of Meat and Meat By -Products (Chilled, 
Frozen and Processed) from Cattle, Sheep, Goats and Camelidae originating from Republic of Korea, 
Japan and Mongolia", due to the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Diseas e (FMD). The Saudi Food and 
Drug Authority (SFDA) has subsequently issued the notice administrative order No. 15053 dated 
2 January 2020 (07/05/1441 AH), lifting the temporary ban on the importation of Meat and Meat

Based on a report submitted by the Saudi technical team visiting Japan, which recommends lifting 
the temporary ban on the importation of Meat and Meat By -Products (Chilled, Frozen and Processed) 
from Cattle originating Japan. In compliance with the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code, Chapter  8.8. 
and Chapter 11.4., the risk of importing Meat and Meat By -Products (Chilled, Frozen and Processed) 
from Japan is negligible.

INDIA  – ADDITIONAL DUTIES ON CERTAIN PRODUCTS FROM THE UNITED STATES   
COMMUNICATION FROM THE PANEL  
The following communication, dated  21 February 2023 , 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 shal l 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 provides 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 w ill issue its report.  
 
The Panel on India − Additional Duties on Certain Products from the United States  (DS585) was 
established by the DSB on 28 October 2019 and composed on 7 January 2020.  
 
On 16 December 2021, the Panel informed the DSB that it hoped to be able to issue its Final Report 
to the parties in the second half of 2022. The Panel is consulting with the Parties on the way forward 
in these proceedings. Accordingly, the Panel does not expect to issue its Final Report to the parties 
before the end of 2023.  
 
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 transl ation 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 .
