Indonesia is submitting this report pursuant to  Article 21.6 of the Understandin g on Rules and 
Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU).  
On 22 November 2017, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted the recommendations and 
rulings in respect of the panel and Appellate Body reports in "Indonesia – Importation of Horticult ural 
Products, Animals and Animal Products " (WT/DS477/DS478). In  the DSB meeting on 28 February  
2018, Indonesia informed the DSB that it intended to implement the DSB recommendations and 
rulings in these dispute s, but that it would need reasonable period o f time to do so.  
Pursuant to Article 21.3 (b) of the DSU, Indonesia , the United States and New Zealand have mutually 
agreed on the reasonable period of time to implement the DSB recommendations and rulings that 
expired on 22 July 2018. Nevertheless, with r egard to the DSB 's recommendations and rulings 
concerning Measure 18, Indonesia, the United States and New Zealand also have mutually agreed 
that Indonesia will have more time to make statutory changes to comply with the DSB  
recommendations and rulings in these dispute s. Accordingly, the United States and New Zealand 
will not initiate further proceedings concerning Measure 18 until at least 22 June 2019.  
Indonesia would like to inform the DSB that it has taken appropriate ste ps to implement the DSB 
recommendations and rulings in th ese dispute s within the reasonable period of time agreed by the 
parties. To this end, Indonesia has issued amended regulations that address measures found to be 
inconsistent with the WTO obligations as set out below:

has issued two regulations namely t he Minist er of Agriculture Regulation No. 2 4/2018 and t he 
Minister of Trade Regulation No. 6 4/2018 . These regulations came into force on  6 June  2018 and 31 
May 2018 , respectively.  
For measures 10 – 17, i.e. the measures concerning the importation of animals and animal products, 
Indonesia has also amended previous relevant regulations by t he Minist er of Agriculture Regulation 
No. 2 3/2018  and t he Minister of Trade Regulation No. 6 5/2018  which  came into force on 24 May 
2018 and 31 May 2018, respectively.  
In addition, for transparency purposes, Indonesia has also notified these regulations to the 
Committee of Import Licensing on 15 August 2018 with document number G/LIC/N/2/IDN/39,
