TITLE: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Event Data Recorders  
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation 
(DOT)  
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal  
SUMMARY: NHTSA withdraws its 13 December 2012 notice of  proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that 
proposed a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) mandating installation of an Event 
Data Recorder (EDR) that meets NHTSA's current EDR standard in most light vehicles. At the time 
NHTSA published the NPRM, the a gency noted that a significant number of light vehicles were being 
sold without EDRs, and said it believed a mandate was needed. Today, EDRs are installed on nearly 
all new light vehicles. In light of these changed circumstances, NHTSA believes that a mand ate for 
today's EDRs is no longer necessary and withdrawal of the NPRM is therefore warranted.  
DATES: The NPRM "Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Event Data Recorders", RIN 2127 -AK86, 
published 13 December 2012 (77 FR 74144), is withdrawn as of 8 Feb ruary 2019.

CANADA – MEASURES GOVERNING THE SALE OF WINE  
REQUEST TO JOIN CONSULTATIONS  
Communication from Argentina  
The following communication, dated 25 January  2018, from the delegation of Argentina to the 
delegation  of Canada, the delegation of Australia and the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement 
Body, is circulated in accordance with Article  4.11 of the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Pursuant to Article 4.11 of the Understanding on Rul es and P rocedures Governing the  Settlement 
of Disputes (DSU), the Government of the Argenti ne Republic hereby notifies the  Government of 
Canada, the Government of Australia  and the Dispute Settlement Body that, in light of its 
substantial trade interest, it wishes  to join the consultations with Canada that were requested by 
Australia  in its communication of 16 January  2018 in Canada – Measures Governing the Sale of 
Wine (WT/DS5 37/1). 
 
Argentina would like to recall that like Australia, it asked to be joined in the consultations in 
Canada – Measures Governing the Sale of Wine in Grocery Stores for both the first complaint 
(DS520) and the second complaint (DS531), and that it participated  in both cases through the 
presence of  officials from its capital and from its embassy in Ottawa respectively . The reasons for 
the present request are the same as those in the above -mentioned cases.  
 
As an exporting Member of wines and related products, Ar gentina has a substantial trade interest 
in this dispute . Canada was  the second and third largest export market  for Argentine wines  
(in terms of both f.o.b. value and hectolitres)  in 2014 , 2015 and 2016  respectively . The Canadian 
measures  that are to be the subject of consultations are directly related  to the marketing of wine 
of foreign origin, including Argentine wine . Argentina is also concerned about the possible systemic 
implications of such measure s for international trade in agricultural products . 
 
In view of the above, and m indful of the rights and obligation s of WTO Members under Article  4.11 
of the DSU, Argentina looks forward to receiving your reply, together with  details  regarding the 
date and venue of the consultations .

ARGENTINA - MEDIDAS QUE AFECTAN A LA 
IMPORTACIÓN DE MERCANCÍAS 
 
Solicitud de asociación a las consultas 
 
Comunicación de la Unión Europea 
 
  La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 30 de agos to de 2012, dirigida por  la delegación de la 
Unión Europea a la delegación de la Argentina, a la  delegación de los Estados Unidos y al Presidente 
del Órgano de Solución de Diferencias, se distribuye  de conformidad con el párrafo 11 del artículo 4 
del ESD.  
_______________ 
 
 
De conformidad con el pá rrafo 11 del artículo 4 del Entendimiento relativo a las normas y 
procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de diferencias  (ESD), la Unión Europea notifica por la 
presente al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, al Gobi erno de la Argentina y al Órgano de Solución de 
Diferencias que, habida cuenta de su interés co mercial sustancial, la Unión Europea desea ser 
asociada a las consultas solicitadas por los Estados  Unidos en una comunicación distribuida a los 
Miembros el 23 de agosto de 2012 (WT/DS444/1;   G/L/995;  G/LIC/D/41;  G/TRIMS/D/31;  
G/SG/D43/1) con el título Argentina - Medidas que afectan a la importación de mercancías . 
 
En las consultas se abordará una amplia ga ma de medidas que restringen el comercio 
impuestas por la Argentina, que parecen ser inco mpatibles con las obligaciones de ese país en el 
marco de la OMC.  En particular, las medidas en litigio incluyen el requisito de presentar una 
declaración jurada (Declaración Jurada Anticipad a de Importación), así como 17 regímenes de 
licencias de importación no automáticas, cuyos criterios de aprobación no están claros y que a menudo dan lugar a restricciones arbitrarias de las im portaciones.  Además, estas consultas se refieren 
a determinados requisitos que supe ditan la importación de mercancías en la Argentina a:  i) un 
acuerdo o compromiso de realizar exportaciones de diversos productos;  ii) la limitación de la 
cantidad de las importaciones;  iii) el aumento del contenido local de productos de fabricación 
nacional;  o iv) la restricción de las transferencias monetarias a los proveedores extranjeros.  La Unión 
Europea tiene un interés comercial sustancial en est a diferencia a la luz de  la repercusión económica 
que las medidas objeto de la reclamación tie nen en los productores y exportadores europeos. 
 
La Unión Europea queda a la espera de ser in formada de la fecha y el lugar en que se 
celebrarán las consultas.
