_______________ 
El párrafo 8 del artículo 12 del Entendimiento relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que 
se rige la solución de diferencias (ESD) prevé que el plazo en que un grupo especial llevará a cabo 
su examen, desde la fecha en que se haya convenido en su composición y su mandato hasta la 
fecha en que se dé traslado del informe definitivo  a las partes en la diferencia, no excederá, por 
regla general, de seis meses. 
En virtud del párrafo 9 del artículo 12 del ESD, cuando un grupo especial considere que no puede 
emitir su informe dentro de un plazo de seis meses, informará de ello al Órgano de Solución de Diferencias (OSD) por escrito indicando las razones, y facilitará al mismo tiempo una estimación 
del plazo en que emitirá su informe.

el 10 de marzo de 2015  y quedó integrado el 12 de mayo de 2015.  
El comienzo de los trabajos del Grupo Especial se ha retrasado como consecuencia de la falta de 
abogados experimentados en la Secretaría. El Grupo Especial no espera dar traslado de su informe

"I welcome Estonia's contribution that will allow developing countries to expand their markets, find 
new trading partners and better integrate into the global economy" declared WTO Director General 
Pascal Lamy.  
 
Estonia's WTO Ambassador, Jüri Seilenthal, stat ed: "Trade has become a necessary tool for 
development, economic growth and poverty reduction. Estonia will continue helping the poorest 
countries to better understand WTO rules, improve and expand their trade capacity as trade is an 
instrument of growth and development".

Negotiating Group on Rules    
 
 CHAIR 'S REPORT TO THE INFORMAL MEET ING OF HEADS OF DELE GATIONS  
ON THE RULES  NEGOTIATIONS  
H.E. AMBASSADOR WAYN E MCCOOK  
1 December 2016  
In my last report to this body, in late September, I provided a brief report indicating that I would 
be holding bilateral consultations with interested delegations in mid -October, to hear from 
Members about how to proceed, with eyes on MC 11. Since that report there have been a number 
of developments which I will briefly summarize.  
 
Some 17 delegations and group representati ves took up my invitation to meet bilaterally. They 
identified what they saw as the priority areas for our work, and expressed views about our process 
or working methods.  
 
In mid -November, I convened an open -ended session of the NG Rules to provide a tran sparency 
report on the consultations, and to hear delegations' views on the work of the Group. In addition, 
one newly -submitted proposal was introduced and discussed, and two other not -yet-submitted 
proposals also were discussed.  
 
Concerning the work of t he Negotiating Group generally, Members' statements at the meeting 
were largely consistent with what I had heard in my consultations. In particular, many delegations 
identified reaching an outcome on fisheries subsidies as a priority for MC 11. In this con text, most 
of these delegations cited SDG Target  14.6, with its 2020 dea dline for completion of the 
WTO fisheries subsidies negotiations, and considered that the Negotiating Group should treat 
fisheries subsidies as a standalone issue. A number of delegati ons also mentioned the initiative on 
fisheries subsidies that has been launched by a group of delegations, and considered that any such 
parallel work should complement rather than compete with the multilateral work.  
 
Some delegations indicated an interest  in outcomes in other areas as well, in particular trade 
remedies, and in one case horizontal subsidies disciplines. Some of these delegations stressed the 
need for balance across Rules pillars in any eventual outcomes, while some considered that the 
time is not ripe for detailed discussions of these issues.  
 
I indicated in my consultations and at the meeting that for work to progress on any issue, we 
would need written submissions from Members, and that each submission would receive full 
consideration by the Group. Work on each issue would progress organically, on its own merits, on 
the basis of Members' engagement in and contributions to the discussion.  
 
As I mentioned, the process of considering proposals already started at the November meeting. 
Since th en, two new fisheries subsidies proposals have been submitted. These are the two that 
were foreshadowed at the November meeting. We thus have on the table three written proposals 
on fisheries subsidies, and we now must turn to each of them (and any others that may be 
submitted) in detail. To that end, I have called an open -ended session of the Negotiating Group, 
dedicated to fisheries subsidies, on Friday 9 December.

  The following notification is made pursuant to GATS Article III:3 and relates to measures adopted 
by the European Union in 2012. Given that th ere is no common understanding among WTO 
Members on when a measure "significantly affects trade in services" within the meaning of GATS Article III:3 and that the European Union cannot make a positive determination on this issue, it is 
therefore notifying measures that may be relevant to trade in services without prejudice to the 
interpretation of the phrase "significantly affect trade in services" in Article III:3.

 TITLE: Revisions to Safety Standard for Carriages and Strollers 
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission 
ACTION: Direct final rule 
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 
2008 ("CPSIA"), also known as the Danny Keysar Ch ild Product Safety Notification Act, the U.S. 
Consumer Product Safety Commission ("Commission" or "CPSC") has published consumer product 
safety standards for numerous durable infant or toddler products, including a safety standard for carriages and strollers. The standard incorporated by reference the ASTM voluntary standard for 
carriages and strollers, with a modification. In August 2011, Congress enacted a public law, which 
sets forth a process for updating standards that the Commission has issued under the authority of section 104(b) of the CPSIA. In accordance with th at process, we are publishing this direct final 
rule, revising the CPSC's standard for carriages and strollers to incorporate by reference a more 
recent version of the applicable ASTM standard. 
DATES: The rule is effective on 2 October 2016, unless we receive significant adverse comment by 
11 July 2016. If we receive timely significant advers e comments, we will publish notification in the 
Federal Register, withdrawing this direct final rule before its effective date. The incorporation by 
reference of the publications listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 2 October 2016.
