 QUESTIONS FROM THE EUROPEAN UN ION TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION  
ON THE EXPORT BAN ON RAW HIDES AND SKINS 
COMMUNICATION FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION 
The following communication, dated 15 March 2016, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the European Union. 
_______________ 
 
By Government Decree N 826 of 19 August 2014, the Russian Federation has put in place an export ban on raw hides and skins that was meant to be of temporary nature (from 1 October 2014 to 1 April 2015). 
 
Subsequently, the Russian Federation has prolonged this measure twice: (i) by Resolution No 378/2015, and (ii) by Government Decree Nr 12 85 of 28 November 2015. According to this last 
decree, the measure will be applicable until May 2016. 
 
It is the EU's understanding that the Russian Federation justifies this export restriction on the 
basis of Article XI:2(a) of the GATT. In this respect, the EU would like to ask the Russian 
Federation:  1.  First, to confirm whether this understanding  is correct; meaning that the Russian Federation 
seeks to justify this measure under Article XI:2(a) of the GATT. 
 
2.  Second, to assess whether this ban can be indeed justified under Article XI:2(a) of the GATT, 
the EU would like to ask the Russian Federati on to submit the following information:  
 
(a) Could the Russian Federation clarify why do they consider that hides and skins are 
essential to the Russian Federation?  
 
(b) Could the Russian Federation explain whethe r there is critical shortage of hides and 
skins?  
 
(c)  Should it be the case, could the Russian Federation submit relevant statistics showing 
this shortage?  
 
(d) For example, could the Russian Federation  submit statistics on the volumes of raw 
hides and skins produced in 2014 and 2015 and the volumes of hides and skins used 
by the industry in the same years and, if available, an estimate of the 2016 volumes 
needed by the industry? 
 3.  Third, the EU would like to know whether the Russian Federation is considering prolonging this 
measure after May 2016. Should it be the case, coul d the Russian Federation give an overview on 
the state of the play of the legislative process for its prolongation?  
 
4.  Finally, if the Russian Federation intends to prolong this measure after May 2016, could the 
Russian Federation present the reasons for this decision as well as an indication of the legal basis, under the WTO law, justifying the prolongation of this measure and any relevant statistics that 
may explain its position?

  NEGOCIACIONES EN VIRTUD DEL PÁRRAFO 6 DEL ARTÍCULO XXIV 
AMPLIACIÓN DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA 
COMUNICACIÓN DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA 
Addendum 
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 17 de octubre de 2013, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación de la Unión Europea. 
 
_______________ 
  
A raíz de la ampliación de la Unión Europea el 1º de enero de 2007 y con objeto de asegurar que 
los Miembros se reservan sus derechos mientras se comunican a la Secretaría de la OMC los acuerdos alcanzados en el contexto del párrafo 6 del artículo XXIV (GATT), la Unión Europea cree 
conveniente una nueva prórroga de seis meses, es decir, hasta el 1º de julio de 2014. 
 En consecuencia, y como continuación de la notificación de la Unión Europea, de 28 de septiembre 
de 2006, sobre la adhesión a la Unión Europea de la República de Bulgaria y de Rumania el 1° de 
enero de 2007, la Unión Europea desea informar por la presente de que la Unión Europea no hará valer que los Miembros de la OMC que hayan presentado una declaración de interés en virtud del párrafo 6 del artículo XXIV del GATT de 1994 no  pueden retirar concesiones sustancialmente 
equivalentes de conformidad con el párrafo 3 del artículo XXVIII del GATT de 1994 porque ese 
retiro se produce después de transcurridos seis meses desde el retiro de concesiones por la Unión Europea, siempre que el Miembro de la OMC que haya presentado esa declaración retire 
concesiones a más tardar 90 meses después de la modificación de las concesiones por la Unión 
Europea.

 UNITED STATES – CONDITIONAL TAX INCE NTIVES  
FOR LARGE CIVIL AIRC RAFT  
COMMUNICATION FROM T HE APPELLATE BODY  
Revision  
The following communication, dated 3 March  2017, from the Chair of the Appellate  Body addressed 
to the Chair of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated to Members in accordance with 
Article  4.9 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures . 
 
_______________  
 
 
I am writing to you pursuant to Article 4.9 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing 
Measures (SCM Agreement) , which stipulates that, as a general rule, the Appellate Body will circulate 
its report  no later than 30 days after the appellant has formally notified the Dispute  Settlement Body 
(DSB) of its decision to appeal. Article 4.9 states, furthermore, that, when the  Appellate Body 
considers that it cannot provide its report within 30 days, it shall inform the DSB in  writing of the 
reasons for the delay together with an estimate of the period within which it will submit its report.  
  
The United States  notified the DSB  on 16 December  2016 of its decision to appeal certain issues of 
law covered in the Panel Report and legal interpretations developed by the Panel  in this dispute , with 
the result that day 30 in this proceeding f ell on Monday,  16 January 2017. On  17 January  2017, the 
European Union  filed a Notice of Other Appeal in this dispute.  
 
The Appellate Body was not able to circulate its report  by the end of the 30 -day period, or within 
the 60 -day timeframe provided for in Article 4.9 of the SCM Agreement,  due to particular  aspects 
arising in th is proceeding, including the time needed for adopting and complying with additional 
procedures to protect business confidential information , the consequent extensions of the 
deadlines for filing submissions , and overlapping issu es identified by the participants in parallel 
proceedings . We further note the substantial workload faced by the Appellate Body, the overlap in 
the composition of  the Divisions hearing several concurrent appeals, and the shortage of staff in 
the Appellate Body Secretariat . 
 
The circulation date of the Appellate Body report in this appeal will be communicated to the 
participants and third participants in due course.
