JOINT STATEMENT BY THE EUR OPEA N UNION, CHINA, CANA DA, NORWAY,  
NEW ZEALAND, SWITZER LAND , AUSTRALIA, REPUBLI C OF KOREA,  
ICELAND, SINGAPORE, MEXICO,  COSTA RICA AN D MONTENEGRO  
12 DECEMBER 2018  
The following joint statement, dated 12 December 2018, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the European Union.  
 
_______________  
 
 
1.1.  We reaffirm our commitment to the rules -based multilateral trading system.  
1.2.  We underscore in particular the dispute settlement system as a central pillar of the WTO. An 
effective dispute settlement system preserves the  rights and obligations of WTO M embers, and 
ensures that the rules are enforceable. Such a system is also essential in building confidence 
amongst M embers in the negotiating pillar. We are deeply concerned tha t continued vacancies in 
the Appellate Body present a risk to the WTO system as a whole. We therefore emphasize the urgent 
need to unblock the appoint ment of Appellate Body members.  
1.3.  We acknowledge that concerns have been raised about the functioning of the  dispute 
settlement system and are ready to work on possible solutions, while preserving the essential 
features of the system and of its Appellate Body. To this end, and with the objective of unblocking 
the appointments of the Appellate Body swiftly, we ha ve submitted concrete proposals to the General 
Council. Given the urgency, we call on all Members to fill the vacancies on the Appellate Body and 
to devise solutions based on the proposed amendments to the Understanding on Rules and 
Procedures Governing th e Settlement of Disputes ("DSU") attached to communication 
WT/GC/W/752 /Rev.2  as soon as possible.  
1.4.  We also acknowledge that concerns have in addition been raised about the interpretations 
developed by the Appellate Body on certain matters (so -called issue o f "overreach"). Without 
prejudice to our respective positions on these matters, we point out that the substantive rules as 
such can be modified or interpreted by the WTO Membership in accordance with the relevant 
procedures. We also stand ready today to en gage in discussions on such possible changes to the 
rules or authoritative interpretations, and call on interested Members to advance ideas on how to 
take this process forward.

concerning fluorescent lamps ballasts and to add rounding instructions to the same section for BLE 
and power factor. DOE is also clarifying the represented value instructions for power factor. Finally, DOE is amending Appendix Q to clarify the lamp-ballast pairings for testing. 
DATES: The effective date of this rule is 31 May 2016. The final rule changes will be mandatory for

 TITLE: Parts and Accessories Necessary for Sa fe Operation: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 
Standards Certification for Commercial Motor Vehicles Operated by United States-Domiciled Motor 
Carriers; Withdrawal 
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT ACTION: Notice of withdrawal 
SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Admini stration (FMCSA) withdraws its 17 June 2015, 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which wo uld have required each commercial motor vehicle 
(CMV) operated by a United States-domiciled (U.S.-domiciled) motor carrier engaged in interstate 
commerce to display a label applied by the vehicle manufacturer or a U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT) Registered Importer to docu ment the vehicle's compliance with all applicable 
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSSs) in  effect as of the date of manufacture. FMCSA 
withdraws the NPRM because commenters raised substantive issues which have led the Agency to 
conclude that it would be inappropriate to move forward with a final rule based on the proposal. 
Because the FMVSSs critical to the operational safety of CMVs are cross-referenced in the Federal 
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), FMCSA has determined that it can most effectively 
ensure that motor carriers maintain the safety equipment and features provided by the FMVSSs 
through enforcement of the FMCSRs, making an a dditional FMVSS certification labeling regulation 
unnecessary. 
DATES: The NPRM "Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation: Federal Motor Vehicle 
Safety Standards Certification for Commercial Motor Vehicles Operated by United States-Domiciled Motor Carriers," published on 17 June 2015 (80 FR 34588), is withdrawn as of 30 December 2015.
