INDE – RESTRICTION À L'IMPORTATION DE CLIMATISEURS  
QUESTION DU JAPON  
La communication ci -après, datée du 24 septembre 2021 et reçue à cette même date , est distribuée 
à la demande de la délégation du Japon . 
 
_______________  
 
 
L'Inde a imposé l 'interdiction d 'importer des climatiseurs contenant des fluides frigorigènes (ITC HS 
Code: 84151010 et 84151090) par la Notification n°  41/2015 -2020 de la Directio n générale du 
commerce extérieur, Département du commerce, Ministère du commerce et de l 'industrie, en date 
du 15 octobre  2020. Le Japon est vivement préoccupé par le fait que cette mesure a fait pression 
d'une manière déloyale sur les entreprises pour qu 'elles réorganisent  leurs chaînes 
d'approvisionnement et qu 'elle est incompatible avec l 'article XI:1 du GATT  de 1994 et l'article 2:1 
de l'Accord sur les MIC.  
Question  
L'Inde a indiqué à plusieurs reprises que cette mesure était compatible avec ses  obligation s au titre 
du Protocole de Montréal . Toutefois, cette  mesure de prohibition à l'importation n 'établit pas de 
distinction entre les  types de fluides frigorigènes et interdit tout climatiseur contenant des  fluides 
frigorigènes quels qu 'ils soient , y compris ceux contenant des  fluides frigorigènes  qui ne sont pas 
soumis à l 'obligation  d'élimination progressive à laquelle l 'Inde est tenue au titre du Protocole de 
Montréal  ou de sa propre réglementation intérieure . Le Japon demande à l 'Inde de bien vo uloir 
apporter des réponses plus précises quant aux raisons  pour lesquelles elle considère que la mesure 
peut être justifiée malgré ce caractère excessif . 
En particulier, le Japon croit comprendre que l 'Inde n'est pas encore tenue d 'éliminer totalement sa  
production et sa consommation de HCFC pour le  moment , même au titre de la  réglementation 
nationale pertinente  (à savoir les règles de 2014 portant modification du Règlement sur les 
substances appauvrissant la couche d 'ozone  (réglementation et contrôle )). De plus, en ce qui 
concerne les HFC, l'obligation de l'Inde au titre du Protocole de Montréal  ne vise pas ces produits , 
et le Japon croit comprendre qu 'il n'existe pas en Inde de lois ou réglementations particulières qui  
en réglementent  la production et la consommation . Dans ce contexte, le Japon remercie l 'Inde de 
bien vouloir décrire la raison d 'être de l 'interdiction  de charger tout  fluide frigorigène  dans les 
climatiseurs lorsqu 'il s'agit des  importations seulement . Le Japon remercie également l 'Inde de  bien 
vouloir indiquer ses lois et réglementations spécifiques qui réglementent  la production et la 
consommation de  HFC, le cas échéant .

ACTION: Rule Adoption  
SUMMARY:   Adopts rules to incorporate by reference various federal regulations and test methods. 
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has adopted regulations applicable 
to aftermarket parts in the Code of Federal Regulations, title 40, part 85. Federally, an aftermarket 
emission control device is covered under U.S. EPA's 1974 "Interim Tampering Enforcement Policy."

  However, these regulations establish only a voluntary self -certification program. In contrast, the 
California Air Resources Board's (CARB) aftermarket parts procedures require aftermarket part 
manufacturers to receive and obtain an exemption before they can offer parts for sale in California.

COSTA RICA – MESURES CONCERNANT L'IMPORTATION  
D'AVOCATS  FRAIS EN PROVENANCE DU MEXIQUE  
COMMUNICATION DU GROUPE SPÉCIAL  
La communication ci -après, datée du 8 juillet  2021 et adressée au Président de l'Organe de 
règlement des différends (ORD), est distribuée conformément à l'article 12:9 du Mémorandum 
d'accord sur le règlement des différends.  
 
_______________  
 
 
L'article  12:8 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant l e règlement des 
différends (Mémorandum d'accord) prévoit que le délai 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 p arties, 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'ORD par écrit des raisons de ce 
retard et lui indiquera dans quel délai il estime pouvoir remettre son rapport.  
Le Groupe spécial  chargé d'examiner l'affaire  Costa Rica – Mesures concernant l'importation 
d'avocats frais en provenance du Mexique  (DS524 ) a été établi par l'ORD le 18 décembre  2018. Sa 
composition a été arrêtée le 16 mai 2019. 
En raison des retards occasionnés par la pandémie de COVID -19 et de la complexité de s questions 
de fond et de procédure en jeu dans le présent différend , le Groupe spécial ne pourra pas achever 
ses travaux pour la date prévue dans sa dernière lettre ( WT/DS524/ 6). Il estime pouvoir remettre 
son rapport final aux parties avant la fin du dernier trimestre  de 2021. 
Le rapport sera rendu public une fois qu'il aura été 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 Groupe 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 communication aux membres de  l'ORD.
