TURKEY  – ADDITIONAL DUTIES ON  CERTAIN PRODUCTS FRO M THE UNITED STATES  
REQUEST FOR CONSULTA TIONS BY THE UNITED STATES  
The following communication, dated 16 July 2018 , from the delegation of the United States  to the 
delegation of Turkey , is circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body in accordance with Article  4.4 of 
the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
My authorities have instructed me to request consultations with Turkey pursuant to Article 4 of the 
Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes  ("DSU") and 
Article  XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994  ("GATT 1994 ") with respect to 
Turkey 's imposition of additional duties with respect to certain products originating in the United 
States ( "additional duties measure "). 
 
The additional duties measure does not impose the additional duties on like products originating in 
the territory of any other WTO Member, and thus appears inconsistent with the most -favored -
nation obligation in Article I of the GATT 1994.  The additional d uties measure results in rates of 
duty greater than rates of duty set out in Turkey 's schedule of concessions, and thus appears 
inconsistent with Article II of the GATT 1994.   
 
The legal instruments through which Turkey imposes the additional duties measu re include the 
following:  
 
 Decision on Implementation of Additional Financial Obligations for the Import of Certain 
Products Originating in the United States of America , Council of Ministers Decision 
No. 11973/2018, Official Gazette No. 30459, June 25, 201 8; 
 
as well as any amendments, replacements, related measures or implementing measures.  
 
The additional duties measure appears to be inconsistent with:  
 
 Article I:1 of the GATT 1994, because it fails to extend to products of the United States an 
advantage,  favor, privilege or immunity granted by Turkey with respect to customs duties 
and charges of any kind imposed on or in connection with the importation of products 
originating in the territory of other Members; and  
 
 Article II:1(a) and (b) of the GATT 199 4, because it accords less favorable treatment to 
products originating in the United States than that provided for in Turkey 's schedule of 
concessions.    
The additional duties measure appears to nullify or impair the benefits accruing to the 
United  States  directly or indirectly under the GATT 1994.  
   
We look forward to receiving your reply to the present request and to fixing a mutually convenient 
date to hold consultations.

  ACCORD DE LIBRE-ÉCHANGE ENTRE LE CANADA ET LA RÉPUBLIQUE DE CORÉE 
(MARCHANDISES ET SERVICES) 
QUESTIONS ET RÉPONSES 
Addendum 
La communication ci-après, datée du 8 avril 2016, est distribuée à la demande des 
délégations du Canada et de la République de Corée. 
 
_______________ 
  
 La question posée aux Parties et la réponse communiquée sont reproduites dans le présent 
document. 
_______________ 
 
 Question de la délégation d'El Salvador 
1.1.  Le paragraphe 3.5 de la présentation factuelle du Secrétariat indique que les 
Parties n'appliquent pas les dispositions co ncernant le traitement national et les 
restrictions à l'importation: 
 à une mesure prise par la Corée en vue de corriger une perturbation du marché 
conformément à des procédures inco rporées dans l'Accord sur l'OMC; 
 aux numéros tarifaires 9897.00.00, 9898. 00.00 et 9899.00.00; à la perception 
par le Canada de droits d'accise sur l' alcool absolu utilisé dans la fabrication 
conformément aux dispositions existant es de la Loi de 2001 sur l'accise; à 
l'utilisation de navires dans le commerce cô tier du Canada au titre de la Loi sur 
le cabotage; et à la vente et à la distri bution de vins et de spiritueux distillés 
sur le marché intérieur. 
 Les Parties pourraient-elles préciser ce qu'elles entendent par "une mesure prise 
par la Corée en vue de corriger une pert urbation du marché conformément à des 
procédures incorporées dans l'Accord sur l'OMC" et indiquer les descriptions des 
positions tarifaires 9897.00. 00, 9898.00.00 et 9899.00.00? 
Une mesure prise par la Corée en vue de corriger une perturbation du marché 
conformément à des procédures incorporées dans l'Accord sur l'OMC est généralement une mesure 
liée aux mesures correctives commerciales, comme les sauvegardes, les mesures antidumping et 
les mesures compensatoires. 
Le Canada restreint ou interdit l'importation d'un petit nombre de marchandises pour des 
raisons de sécurité publique, de santé ou de protection de l'environnement, et ces marchandises 
sont décrites dans les positions tarifaires 9897.00.00, 9898.00.00 et 9899.00.00. Pour plus de certitude et de transparence, le Canada inclut dans ses accords de libre-échange ces positions tarifaires en tant qu'exception aux dispositions concernant le traitement national et les restrictions 
à l'importation ou à l'exportation.
 WT/REG362/2/Add.1 
- 2 - 
  La version actuelle de l'annexe du Tarif des douanes comprenant ces positions tarifaires et 
les marchandises visées est disponible dans la version consolidée du Tarif des douanes sur le site Web de l'Agence des services frontaliers du Canada: " http://cbsa.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-
tarif/2016/01-99/ch98-2016-eng.pdf ". Des renseignements complémentaires sur ces positions 
tarifaires figurent dans le document de l'OMC G/MA/QR/N/CAN/2, qui contient des liens vers des 
mémorandums explicatifs concernant de nombreuses  marchandises. Ce document a été mis à jour 
pour la dernière fois en octobre 2014 et reste d'actualité.

 UNITED STATES – ANTI -DUMPING AND COUNTER VAILING MEASURES  
ON LARGE RESIDENTIAL  WASHERS FROM KOREA  
STATUS REPORT REGARDING IMPLEMENTA TION OF THE  
DSB RECOMMENDATIONS AND RULINGS  
BY THE UNITED STATES  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 14 February 2019, from the delegation of the United States to 
the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article  21.6 of the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understandi ng on Rules 
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"). 
 
On 26 September 2016, the Dispute Settlement Body ( "DSB") adopted its recommendations in 
United States – Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Measures on Large Residential Washers from Ko rea 
(WT/DS464). At the following DSB meeting, on 26 October 2016, the United States informed the 
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations of the DSB in connection with this matter.  
Korea requested that the reasonable period of time for the Un ited States to implement the 
recommendations of the DSB  be determined through arbitration pursuant to Article 21.3(c) of the 
DSU. The Arbitrator determined the reasonable period of time to be 15 months, expiring on 
26 December 2017.   
 
On 15 December 2017,  the United States Trade Repres entative requested that the US  Department 
of Commerce ( "Commerce ") initiate a proceeding under section 129 of the Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act  to address the DSB 's recommendations relating to Commerce 's countervailing duty 
investigation of washers from Korea. On 18 December 2017, Commerce initiated a section 129 
proceeding.  Following initiation, Commerce issued initial and supplemental questionnaires seeking 
additional information. On 4 April 2018, Commerce issued a prelimina ry determination. Following 
issuance of the preliminary determination, Commerce provided interested parties with the 
opportunity to submit comments on the issues and analysis in the preliminary determination and 
rebuttal comments. Commerce reviewed those c omments and rebuttal comments and took them 
into account for purposes of preparing the final determination. On 4 June 2018, Commerce issued a 
final determination, in which Commerce revised certain aspects of its original determination.  
Specifically, Comme rce revised the analysis underlying the CVD determination, as it pertains to 
certain tax credit programs, in accordance with findings adopted by the DSB.    
 
The United States continues to consult with interested parties on options to address the 
recommend ations of the DSB relating to anti -dumping measures challenged in this dispute.

DES ARTICLES 18.5, 32.6 ET 12:6 DES ACCORDS  
QUESTION  POSÉE PAR LE  MEXIQUE  AU SUJET  
DE LA NOTIFICATION  DE L'ARMÉNIE1 
La communication  ci-après,  datée  du 3 avril 2017, est distribuée  à la demande  de la déléga tion du 
Mexique . 
_______________  
 
 
Question  
 
L'article  IV.7.90  du Protocole  sur l'application  des mesures  de sauvegarde,  des mesures  
antidumping  et des mesures  compensatoires  aux pays tiers dispose  que l'autorité  chargée  de 
l'enquête  pourra  suspendre  ou clore l'enquête  sans imposer  un droit antidumping  provisoire  ou un 
droit antidumping  lorsque  l'exportateur  du produit  faisant  l'objet  de l'enquête  se sera engagé  à 
réviser  ses prix pour ce produit  ou à ne plus exporter  vers le territoire  douanier  de l'Union  à des 
prix inférieurs  à la valeur  normale  dudit produit  (s'il existe  des parties  liées à l'exportateur  dans les 
États membres,  il sera aussi exigé  de ces parties  qu'elles  soutiennent  les engagements),  si 
l'autorité  chargée  de l'enquête  conclut  que ces engagements  feront  disparaître  le dommage  causé  
par les importations  faisant  l'objet  du dumping  et que la Commission  décide  d'accepter  lesdits  
engagements.  
 
L'Arménie  pourrait -elle expliquer  dans quel but il est exigé  des parties  liées à l'exportateur  qu'elles  
soutiennent  les engagements?  
 
Si une ou plusieurs  des parties  liées à l'exportat eur prenant  les engagements  ne soutiennent  pas 
ces engagements , cela constituerait -il un motif de refus de la proposition  d'engagement  en 
matière  de prix? Dans l'affirmative,  pourriez -vous expliquer  pourquoi  cela serait  suffisant  pour la
