THE EUROPEAN UNION' S MODEL CERTIFICATES FOR COMPOSITE PRODUCTS –  
SPECIFIC TRADE CONCERN 504  
SUBMISSION BY THE UNITED STATES  OF AMERICA  
The following submission, received on 8 November  2021, is the statement made by the United States 
of America at the 3-5 November  2021 WTO SPS Committee, and is  being circulated at the request 
of the Delegation of the United States  of America . 
 
____________ ___ 
 
 
1.  The United States thanks Australia, Chinese Taipei, and the Russian Federation for raising this 
issue and wishes to again highlight our concerns that the proposed model certificates notified under 
G/SPS/N/EU/401 , G/SPS/N/EU/402 , and G/SPS/N/EU/403  will negatively affect supply chain s and 
trade.  
2.  As we have stated in previous meetings of the SPS Committee, the EU measures pertain to a 
broad spectrum of animal products. While the European Union has engaged with the United States 
in continuing discussions and negotiations around the new animal health certificate requirements, a 
great deal of work remains to be done in order to ensure that these measures do not overly or 
unnecessarily restrict trade.  
3.  While we were pleased that the European Union chose to extend its deadline for all trading  
partners to 15 January 2022, the extension has not provided sufficient time for trading partners to 
adapt to the details outlined within the EU's regulations. Trading partners need additional time to 
address key questions related to implementation.  
4.  For ex ample, a significant amount of work remains to be done to address how, for any individual 
product, exporting countries are expected to address overlapping regulatory jurisdictions in third 
country markets. This is relevant for both composite products that transit the European Union to a 
third market and composite products that contain ingredients sourced from third countries.  
5.  Additionally, given the inherent structural differences between the EU regulatory approach and 
other countries' regulatory systems, trading partners need additional time to ensure that certificates 
appropriately account for regulatory oversight that achieves a level of protection at least equivalent 
to the EU level of protection.

Notice of Decision To Revise Requirements for the Importation of Fresh Melon Fruit From Japan Into 
the United States [Docket No. APHIS -2020-0100]  
We are notifying the public of our decision to revise requirements for the importation of fresh melon 
fruit with stems from Japan into the United States. Based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, which 
we made available to the public for review and comment through a previous notice, we have 
determined that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient 
to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation 
of fresh melon fruit with stems from Japan into the entire United States. (Federal Register/Vol. 86, 
No. 213/Monday, 8 November 2021, pp. 61751 -61752)
