 TITLE:  Modification  of Mandatory Label Information for Wine 
AGENCY: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Treasury 
ACTION:  Final rule; Treasury decision 
SUMMARY:  The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trad e Bureau (TTB) is amending its regulations 
regarding the mandatory labelling requirements for wine. The regulatory change permits alcohol 
content to appear on other labels affixed to the container rather than requiring it to appear on the 
brand label. This regulatory change provides grea ter flexibility in wine labelling, and will conform 
the TTB wine labelling regulations to the agreem ent reached by members of the World Wine Trade 
Group regarding the presentation of certain information on wine labels. 
DATES: Effective Date: 9 August 2013.

INDONESIA  – CERTAIN MEASURES ADD RESSING LOCAL CONTEN T  
IN INVESTMENT IN THE  TELECOMMUNICATIONS S ECTOR  
QUESTIONS FROM JAPAN  
The following communication, dated 2 May 2017, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Japan.  
 
_______________  
 
Japan  considers  that Indonesia 's answers (G/TRIMS/W/160) to our questions with regard to the 
local contents requirements in Indonesia 's telecommunications sector (G/TRIMS/W/154) fail to 
address our concerns. Following the Indonesia 's commitment in the previous meeting that 
Indonesia would provide answers in written form if any further questions are posed , Japan 
reiterate s the following questions which reflect our concerns.  
 
1. Firstly, according to Item 1 of Indonesia 's answers to our questions (G/TRIMS/W/160), the  
regulation (i.e. the local contents requirements) "does not differentiate treatment between 
local and foreign -service provider ". However, the issue concerned in this case is not whether 
there is differentiated treatment between local and foreign telecommu nications service 
providers, but whether there is differentiated treatment between local and foreign origin 
products (i.e. communication equipment or devices). In fact, Article s 16 and 17 of the 
Indonesia 's Ministerial Decree No.7/2009 stipulate local cont ents requirements on 
communication equipment or devices. Japan consider s that such regulation substantially 
differentiates local and foreign origin products, which is inconsistent with Article 3.4 of the 
GATT  1994, and that  requires the purchase or use by an enterprise of local origin products, 
which is inconsistent with Article 2.2 of the TRIMs Agreement according to Item 1 (a) of its 
Annex (i.e. the Illustrative List). Japan would like Indonesia to explain clear ly on this point.  
 
2. Secondly, according to It em 2 of Indonesia 's answers to our questions (G/TRIMS/W/160), 
the regulation falls under the Article 3.8 (a) of the GATT 1994 that stipulates exemption of 
government procurement. Specifically, the Article exempt s "laws, regulations or 
requirements governin g the procurement by governmental agencies of products purchased 
for governmental purposes and not with a view to commercial resale or with a view to use in 
the production of goods for commercial sale ". However, it is not clear for Japan why 
Indonesia cons iders the scope of the regulation (i.e. local contents requirements) 
corresponds to government procurement. The regulation  is applied to enterprises , not to the 
government, and there are no existing rules that allow those enterprises to use the 
government budgets. Therefore, Japan could not find any reason why the regulations fall 
under Article 3.8(a) of the GATT  1994, and would like Indonesia to explain clear ly on this 
point.

Questions Posed by TURKEY Regarding 
the Notification of AUSTRALIA1 
   The following communication, dated 15 August 2012,  is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Turkey. 
 
_______________ 
   Turkey thanks Australia for its Notifica tion and poses questions with regard to the 
"Ministerial Direction on Material Injury 2012 Subsection 269TA(1) of the Customs Act 1901 
Commonwealth of Australia" .  Turkey may have subsequent questions as it further examines the 
notification.  
 
 Question 1 
  According to the new Ministerial Direction, "material injury should be considered to be injury 
that is not immaterial, ins ubstantial or insignificant" .  Could Australia clarify the terms of 
"insubstantial or insignificant material injury" ?  In the determination of material injury, how does the 
investigating authority determine that injury is not "insubstantial or insignificant" ?  Is there a test to be 
applied by the investigating aut hority in the determination of "substantiality and significance of the 
material injury" ?  
 
Question 2 
 
 According to the new Ministerial Direction, "the injury caused by dumping or subsidisation 
must be material in degree". Could Australia elaborat e on the terms of the "material in degree" ?  How 
does the Australian investiga ting authority measure the "material in degree" ?  Is there a threshold for 
degree to be establishe d in material injury? 
 
Question 3 
 
 According to the new Ministerial Direction, "the impact of dumped or  subsidised imports on 
the rate of domestic industry' s growth is considered".  Could Australia clarify how the growth rate of 
the industry is determined?  What are the bases, cr iteria or economic models used in establishing the 
rate of growth of the domestic industry?  In es tablishing the growth rate of the industry, does the

G/SCM/Q1/AUS/9 Page 2 
 
 
  Australian investigating authority provide and take  into consideration the economic indicators of non-
cooperating companies?    
 
Question 4 
 
 In the new Ministerial Direction it is stated that "I direct that the above directions be adapted 
and applied by you to consideration of claims of threatened material injury or hindrance to the 
establishment of an industry" .  
 
 Could Australia confirm that this direction will  be applied in cases of  "threat of material 
injury" or "material retardation of the establishment of the domestic industry"?
