Informe de situación relativo a la aplicación de las recomendaciones y resoluciones

(WT/DS160) 
Los Estados Unidos presentan este informe de conformidad con el párrafo 6 del artículo 21 del 
Entendimiento relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de 
diferencias  ("ESD"). 
El 27 de julio de 2000, el Órgano de Solución de Diferencias ("OSD") adoptó sus recomendaciones 
y resoluciones con respecto al asunto Estados Unidos - Artículo 110(5) de la Ley de Derecho de 
Autor de los Estados Unidos  (WT/DS160). En la siguiente reunión del OSD, los Estados Unidos 
informaron a ese Órgano de su propósito de aplicar las recomendaciones y resoluciones del OSD relativas a este asunto. Como consecuencia de las conversaciones mantenidas para encontrar una 
solución mutuamente aceptable de la diferencia, los Estados Unidos y las Comunidades Europeas 
acordaron, de conformidad con el artículo 25 del ESD, iniciar un procedimiento de arbitraje con objeto de determinar el nivel de anulación o menoscabo de ventajas causado por el 
artículo 110(5)(B) de la Ley de Derecho de Autor de los Estados Unidos. Después del arbitraje, las 
partes llegaron a una solución temporal de la diferencia, que se notificó al OSD el 23 de junio de 2003. Ese acuerdo temporal abarcaba el período comprendido hasta el 20 de diciembre de 2004. 
La Administración estadounidense trabajará en estrecha colaboración con el Congreso de los 
Estados Unidos y continuará celebrando consultas con la Unión Europea con miras a alcanzar una solución mutuamente satisfactoria de este asunto.

  COLOMBIE – MESURES VISANT LES IMPORTATIONS DE TEXTILES,  
VÊTEMENTS ET CHAUSSURES  
RECOURS DE LA COLOMBIE À L'ARTICLE 22:6 DU MÉMORANDUM  
D'ACCORD SUR LE RÈGLEMENT DES DIFFÉRENDS  
La communication  ci-après , datée du  17 février  2017 et adressée par la  délégation  de la Colombie 
au Président de l'Organe de règlement des différends, est dist ribuée conformément à l'article  22:6 
du Mémorandum d'accord.  
_______________  
 
 
En ce qui concerne l'affaire  Colombi e – Mesures visant les importations de textiles,  vêtements et 
chaussures  (WT/DS461),  et conformément à l'article  22:6 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles 
et procédures régissant le règlement des différends (Mémorandum d'accord ), la Colomb ie conteste 
la demande présentée par le  Panam a à l'Organe de règlement des diff érends (ORD) dans le 
document  WT/DS461/16, visant à ce qu'il l'autorise à suspendre des concessions ou d'autres 
obligations à l'égard de la Colombie  au titre des accords visés . 
Le niveau de la suspensio n proposée par le Panama n'est pas équivalent au nivea u de l'annulation 
ou de la réduction des avantages  au sens de l'article  22:7 du Mémorandum d'accord . La demande 
ne suit pas les principes et procédures énoncés à l'article 22:3 du Mémorandum d'accord . En 
conséquence, conformément à l'article  22:6 du Mémora ndum d'accord , la question sera soumise à 
arbitrage . Compte tenu de ce qui précède , je vous demande de bien vouloir soumettre  cette 
question à la procédure d'arbitrage prévue à l'article mentionné . 
De plus, les autorités de mon pays m'ont donné pour instru ction de réaffirmer  que la mesure visée 
par les recommandations et décisions de l'ORD n'était plus en vigueur, et que le nouveau droit 
applicable  aux importations  de vêtements et de chaussures – avant l'expiration du délai 
raisonnable  – n'excédait pas la l imite fixée pour ces produits dans la liste de la Colombie , de sorte 
que la Colombie s' était pleinement conformée aux recommandations et résolutions de l'ORD dans 
le délai raisonnable . Pour cette raison, la situation prévue à l'article 22:2 du Mémorandum d 'accord 
n'existe pas, et l'annulation ou la réduction des avantages  au sens de l'article  22:4 du 
Mémorandum d'accord n'existe pas non plus .
