Brief description of the Agreement:  
 
AAP.A14TM 11 (Articles 7 and 14 of the TM80)  
 
Partial Scope Agreement No. 11 (AAP.A14TM 11) has the objective of creating a free trade 
area between the MERCOSUR countries and the Andean Community, through the expansion 
and diversification of trade and the elimination of the levies and  restrictions imposed on 
reciprocal trade.  
 
To this end, the Parties agree to establish a legal and institutional framework for cooperation 
and economic and physical integration, which contributes to the creation of an enlarged 
economic space to facilitate , to the extent that they are able, the free movement of goods 
and services and the full use of production factors, in competitive and equal conditions.  
 
As this is a framework agreement, it was later superseded by AAP.CE 58 and the 
AAP.CE 59.

ÉTATS -UNIS – MESURE DE SAUVEGARDE VISANT LES IMPORTATIONS  
DE PRODUITS PHOTOVOLTAÏQUES AU SILICIUM CRISTALLIN  
COMMUNICATION DU GROUPE SPÉCIAL  
La communication ci -après, datée du 21 décembre  2020, a été reçue du Président du Groupe spécial, 
qui a demandé qu'elle soit distribuée à l'Organe de règlement des différends (ORD).  
 
_______________  
 
 
L'article  12:8 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant le règlement des 
différends (Mémorandum d'accord) prévoit que le dé lai dans lequel le groupe spécial procédera à 
son examen, depuis la date à laquelle sa composition et son mandat auront été arrêtés jusqu'à celle 
à laquelle le rapport final sera remis aux parties  au différend , ne dépassera pas, en règle générale, 
six mois . 
L'article  12:9 du Mémorandum d'accord dispose que, lorsque le groupe spécial estimera qu'il ne peut 
pas remettre son rapport dans un délai de six mois, il informera l' Organe de règlement des différends 
(ORD) par écrit des raisons de ce retard et lui indi quera dans quel délai il estime pouvoir remettre 
son rapport.  
Le Groupe spécial États-Unis – Mesure de sauvegarde visant les importations de produits 
photovoltaïques au silicium cristallin  (DS562) a été établi par l'ORD le 15 août 2019 et sa 
composition a été arrêtée le 24 octobre  2019. 
Le Groupe spécial, après avoir consulté les parties, a initi alement adopté un calendrier d'après lequel 
il comptait remettre son rapport aux parties pour la fin de 2020 . Toutefois, étant donné le retard 
supplémentaire dans la procédure dû à la pandémie mondiale de COVID -19, le  Groupe spécial 
compte à présent remett re son rapport final aux parties vers le milieu de l'année 2021.  
Le rapport ne pourra être rendu public qu'une fois distribué aux Membres dans les trois langues de 
travail de l'OMC . La date de distribution dépend de la finalisation de la traduction et le G roupe spécial 
n'est pas en mesure de donner une date estimative de distribution pour le moment.  
Je vous saurais gré de bien vouloir distribuer la présente lettre à l'ORD.
