UNITED STATES – COUNTERVAILING MEASU RES ON CERTAIN PIPE  
AND TUBE PRODUCTS (T URKEY)   
COMMUNICATION FROM THE PANEL  
The following communication, dated 6 March 2018, was received from the Chairperson of the Panel 
with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body.  
 
_______________  
Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of 
Disputes  (DSU) provides that the period in which a panel shall conduct its examination, from the 
date that the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the 
date the final report is issued to the parties to the dispute, shall, as a general rule, not exceed 
six months.  
Article 12 .9 of the DSU provides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within 
six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and indicate 
the reasons, together with an estimate of the period within which i t will issue its report.  
The Panel on United States  – Countervailing Measures on Certain Pipe and Tube Products from 
Turkey (DS523) was established by the DSB on 19 June 2017 and composed on  14 September  
2017. 
The beginning of the Panel's work was delayed as a result of the lack of available experienced 
lawyers in the Secretariat. The Panel expects to issue its final report to the parties in the second 
half of 201 8, after consultation with the parties.  
The repo rt will only be available to the public once it is circulated to t he Members in all three 
working  languages of the WTO. The date of circulation depends on completion of translation and 
the Panel is not in a position to provide an estimated circulation date  at this time.

  COMMUNICATION DU PRÉSIDENT DU COMITÉ 
TECHNIQUE DES RÈGLES D'ORIGINE 
La communication ci-après, datée du 18 mars 2014, est distribuée à la demande du Président du 
Comité technique des règles d'origine (CTRO). 
 
_______________ 
 
 Je me réfère à votre lettre que j'ai reçue le 15 janvier 2014. Permettez-moi d'abord de vous remercier pour votre participation à la 32
ème session du Comité technique des règles d'origine 
(CTRO). Votre présence et votre intervention ont été hautement appréciées par le Comité 
technique et le Secrétariat de l'OMD. 
Le CTRO a pris note des renseignements figurant dans votre lettre, à laquelle vous vous êtes 
référé lors de votre intervention à la session du CTRO, ainsi que des travaux effectués par le 
Secrétariat de l'OMC. Le Comité technique a également pris note des Décisions ministérielles de l'OMC résultant de la Réunion ministérielle qui s'est tenue à Bali en décembre 2013. 
De fait, l'OMD participe déjà très activement aux travaux se rapportant à l'Accord de l'OMC sur la 
facilitation des échanges. Je suis en mesure de vous informer que le Groupe de travail de l'OMD sur l'AFE a tenu sa première réunion à Bruxelles les 11-12 mars 2014. 
En ce qui concerne la rationalisation des réunions du CRO et du CTRO, cette suggestion a été 
examinée à la dernière session du CTRO. D'une manière générale, les délégués ont accueilli 
favorablement l'idée et souligné que la réorganisation des réunions du CRO et du CTRO pourrait faciliter la participation d'experts en douane au CRO. Toutefois, il a également été souligné que le 
meilleur moyen de faire en sorte que les débats soient constructifs serait de relancer les travaux 
sur le projet de texte consolidé des règles d'origine harmonisées, y compris en examinant sa structure générale. 
Je ne doute pas que les deux comités et les deux secrétariats continueront de collaborer 
étroitement. N'hésitez pas à vous mettre en contact avec le Secrétariat pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements ou si vous avez d'autres questions.
