NOTIFICATION OF LAWS  AND REGULATIONS UNDE R 
ARTICLES 18.5 AND 32 .6 OF THE RELEVANT A GREEMENTS  
QUES TIONS POSED BY AUSTR ALIA REGARDING  
THE NOTIFICATION OF NEW ZEALAND1 
The following communication, dated 4 October  2017, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Australia . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Australia thanks New Zealand for its notifications and poses the following questions:  
 
Inserting a new public interest test  
Questions 1 and 2  
 
New Zealand notes that the new public interest test is an additio nal step in an anti -dumping or 
countervailing duty investigation, including a third country dumping investigation, and a full review 
of an anti -dumping and countervailing duty.   
 
Could New Zealand please confirm the scope of the new public interest test re lates solely to 
whether the imposition of an anti -dumping or countervailing duty is in the public interest (in 
relation to downstream industries and consumers)?  Could New Zealand confirm that this does not 
relate to the level of duty, i.e. that this does n ot relate to assessing the lesser duty rule?  
 
Extending the current suspension of anti -dumping duties on residential building material  
Questions 3, 4 and 5  
 
New Zealand notes that the temporary suspension on anti -dumping duties on residential 
construction materials has been extended for a further two years and one month.   
 
Could New Zealand please clarify how it has dealt with continuation reviews where measures were 
due to be considered under continuation reviews during the suspension period?  Are continuat ion 
reviews still conducted?  How will the suspension period impact upon the duration of existing 
measures?  
 
Third country dumping  
Question 6  
 
Part 7 of the Trade (Anti -Dumping and Countervailing Duties) Amendment Act 2017  deletes 
reference to third country subsidisation, currently provided for under Article 15.8 of the 
ANZCERTA.  
 
Could New Zealand please clarify its justification for doing so?  
                                                
1 G/ADP/N/1/NZL/2/Suppl.6/Rev.1 -G/SCM/N/1/NZL/2/Suppl.6 /Rev.1.  G/ADP/Q1/NZL/4 • G/SCM/Q1/NZL/4  
 
- 2 - 
 
   
Question 7  
 
Part 7, Article 22(7), sub -section 2, paragraph (h), of the Trade ( Anti-Dumping and Countervailing 
Duties) Amendment Act 2017  appears to provide discretion to the Minister ( "if appropriate ") in the 
definition of 'domestic industry '. Article 14.3 of the WTO ADA requires that investigating 
authorities consider the effects of alleged injury on an "industry concerned as a whole in the third 
country ".  
 
Could New Zealand please clarify how injury will be examined in third country dumping?

 UNITED STATES – SECTION 110(5) OF THE US COPYRIGHT ACT 
STATUS REPORT BY THE UNITED STATES 
Addendum 
The following communication, dated 15 October 2015, from the delegation of the United States to 
the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.  
_______________ 
  
Status Report Regarding Implementation of the 
DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute 
United States – Section 110(5) of the US Copyright Act 
(WT/DS160) 
 
 
The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on 
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes  ("DSU"). 
 
On 27 July, 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and rulings in United States - Section 110(5) of the US Copyright Act  (WT/DS160). At the following DSB 
meeting, the United States informed the DSB of  its intention to implement the recommendations 
and rulings of the DSB in connection with this matter. As a result of discussions to find a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute, the United States and the European Communities agreed pursuant to Article 25 of the DSU to enter into arbitration in order to determine the level of 
nullification or impairment of benefits caused by section 110(5)(B) of the US Copyright Act. After 
the arbitration, the parties reached a temporary re solution of the dispute, which was notified to 
the DSB on 23 June 2003. That temporary arrangement covered the period through 
20 December 2004.  
 The US Administration will work closely with the US  Congress and will continue to confer with the 
European Union in order to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of this matter.

DECLARACIÓ N DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA AL COMITÉ  
DE OBSTÁCULOS TÉCNICOS AL COMERCIO  
21 Y 22 DE MARZO DE 2018  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 16 de abril de 2018, se distribuye a petición de la delegación 
de la Unión Europea . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  La Unión Europea agradece la comunicación del Taipei Chino presentada  por escrit o y el diálogo 
bilateral sobre esta propuesta de reglamento relativo a los productos ecológicos . 
2.  Como se subrayó en anteriores reuniones del Comité, preocupa en particular a la UE el corto 
plazo -un año- previsto en el proyecto de medida para la conclusión de un nuevo acuerdo de 
reconocimiento mutuo . Entendemos que este plazo empezará a contar un año después de la 
adopción de la Ley . Sin embargo, aunque el  plazo efectivo sea de dos años a partir de su 
adopción , no habrá tiempo suficiente  para que la UE pueda  concluir  un nuevo acuerdo de 
reconocimiento mutuo con el Taipei Chino , sobre todo porque es necesaria la ratificación de los 
colegisladores de la UE . Además, la UE opina que las consecuencias para los interlocutores 
comerciales en caso de que se sobrepase  el plazo de un año son desproporcionadas ; se debería 
introducir un acuerdo de transición más flexible . 
3.  La UE también considera con preocupación el modo de aplicación de  algunas de las nuevas 
disposiciones (por ejemplo, las relativas al sistema de los órga nos de control), si no se publican 
nuevos textos de aplicación . 
4.  La UE pide una vez más a las autoridades del Taipei Chino que consideren su solicitud de una 
prórroga razonable del plazo para solicitar de nuevo la equivalencia (cabe señalar como referencia 
que en circunstancias similares la UE concede un plazo de cinco años), y su solicitud de  
aclaraciones sobre el sistema de los órganos de control . 
5.  Mientras tanto, la UE pide respetuosamente al Taipei Chino que reconozca unilate ralmente  las 
normas aplicables a los productos procedentes de la UE , que hoy día no está reconociendo . La UE 
solicita que las prescripciones aplicables a los productos ecológicos estén en conformidad con las 
normas de los principales actores del sector de la agricultura ecológica . 
6.  La UE pide que se informe de estos trámites y se indique  el plazo previsto para la adopción y la 
aplicación de la medida notificada . También estamos interesados en saber cuándo prevé  adoptar 
las medidas de aplicación  el Taipei Chi no.
