NOTIFICATION UNDER PARAGRAPH 4  
OF ANNEX II OF THE AGREEMENT ON RULES OF ORIGIN 
PREFERENTIAL RULES OF ORIGIN 
1. Paragraph 4 of Annex II to the Agreement on Rules of Origin envisages that Members shall 
provide to the Secretariat as soon as possible thei r existing or new preferential rules of origin, 
including a listing of the preferential arrangements  to which they apply, judicial decisions, and 
administrative rulings of general application relating to their preferential rules of origin.  Lists of 
information received and available within the Secretariat shall be circulated to Members by the Secretariat under the G/RO/N/- series. 
2. The Committee on Rules of Origin further agreed  that, with respect to preferential rules of 
origin, notifications made to the Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) or to the 
Committee on Trade and Development (CTD) could also suffice to discharge their notification obligations under the Agreement on Rules of Origin (G/RO/M/59).  As a result, the Committee 
agreed that notifications which had initially been received by the CRTA or the CTD should also be 
circulated by the Secretariat to the CRO. The in formation regarding such notifications, including 
related to preferential rules of origin, can, in a ddition, be retrieved through the WTO data base of 
regional trade agreements ( http://rtais.wto.org ) or in the WTO data base of preferential trade 
agreements ( http://ptadb.wto.org ).

CHINA – CERTAIN MEASURES CON CERNING THE PROTECTI ON 
OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERT Y RIGHTS  
REQUEST TO JOIN CONS ULTATIONS  
Communication from the European Union  
The following communication, dated 4 April 2018 , from the delegation of the European Union  to 
the delegation of China , the delegation of the United States  and to 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 Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement 
of Disputes (DSU), the European Union (EU) hereby notifies the Government of the People's 
Republic of China (China), the Government of the United States, and the Dispute Settlement Body 
that, in the light of its substant ial trade interest, it desires to be joined in the consultations 
requested by the United States in a communication circulated to WTO Members on 26 March 2018 
(WT/DS542/1, IP/D/38), entitled "China — Certain Measures Concerning the Protection of 
Intellectua l Property Rights ".  
 
The EU notes that the request for consultations relates to the apparent discriminatory treatment of 
foreign entities importing their technology into China, and foreign entities transferring technology 
as part of their investments in joint ventures within China, with regard to the protection of the 
intellectual property rights on their technologies.  
 
According to recent data, EU exports of high -tech products and high -tech knowledge intensive 
services, for which the protection of intell ectual property rights is of fundamental importance, is 
estimated at a value of EUR 680 billion annually. EU exports of high -tech to China are worth over 
EUR 30 billion annually. At the same time, the EU is a large investor in China with an aggregated 
value of direct investments of currently 180 billion EUR.  
 
 
Much of the investments are concluded under joint -venture requirements and are thus potentially 
affected by the measures as regards which the United States requested consultations. The EU has 
therefo re a substantial trade interest in these consultations.

UNITED STATES – CERTAIN MEASURES ON STEEL AND ALUMINIUM PRODUCTS  
REQUEST TO JOIN CONS ULTATIONS  
Communication from Japan  
The following communication, dated 8 June 2018 , from the delegation of Japan  to the delegation 
of the United States , and the delegation of Mexico , is circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body in 
accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
I wish to refer to the consultations requested by Mexico pursuant to Article 1 and Article 4 of the 
Understanding on  Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ( "DSU"), 
Article  XXII:1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994  and Article 14 of the Agreement 
on Safeguards  in the communication circulated to WTO Members on 7 June 2018, entitled " United 
States－Certain Measures on Steel and Aluminum Products " (WT/DS551/1, G/L/1246, 
G/SG/D56/1) . My authorities have instructed me to notify the consulting Members and the Dispute 
Settlement Body of the desire of Japan to be joined in these consultations, p ursuant to Article 4.11 
of the DSU.  
 
The measures at issue are the import adjustments on certain steel and aluminium products, 
including additional import duties.  Japan notes that the additional import duties in question, which 
took effect on 23 March 201 8 also apply to certain imports of steel and aluminium products from 
Japan. Japan is a major producer and exporter of steel and aluminium products and in fiscal year 
2017 its export to the United States amounted to 1,659,281,106 US dollars for steel produc ts and 
251,227,373 US dollars for aluminium products respectively. Therefore, as one of the major steel 
and aluminium exporters to the United States, Japan has a substantial trade interest in these 
consultations.  
 
Japan looks forward to receiving confirmat ion of acceptance of this request as well as being 
informed of the date and venue of these consultations.

Le 2 septembre 2011, l'Organe de règlement des différends ("ORD") a adopté ses 
recommandations et décisions concernant le différend États-Unis – Mesures antidumping visant 
certaines crevettes en provenance du Viet Nam  (WT/DS404). À la réunion suivante de l'ORD, les 
États-Unis ont informé celui-ci de leur intention de mettre en œuvre les recommandations et 
décisions de l'ORD en la matière. 
Le 14 février 2012, le Département du commerce des États-Unis a publié au Federal Register,

décisions de l'ORD en ce qui concerne l'utilisation de la "réduction à zéro" dans les réexamens 
antidumping. Cette modification fait suite à certaines constatations formulées en l'espèce. 
Le 28 juin 2012, le Représentant des États-Unis pour les questions commerciales internationales a 
demandé au Département du commerce, conformément à l'article 129 b) de la Loi sur les Accords

 INTITULÉ: Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances; Correction  (Règles relatives 
à de nouvelles utilisations importantes de certaines substances chimiques. Correction) 
ORGANISME: Environmental Protection Agency - EPA (Agence pour la protection de 
l'environnement) 
ACTION: Règle finale. Correction 
RÉSUMÉ: L'EPA a publié dans le Federal Register du 16 mai 2016 une règle finale concernant 
55 substances chimiques ayant fait l'objet d'avis précédant la fabrication (PMN). Pour la substance chimique désignée par l'appellation générique de sel d'oxyde d'aluminium et de cuivre 
(PMN-P-15-328), l'EPA a involontairement omis d'inclure l'exemption de minimis  dans les 
exigences relatives à la protection des travailleurs. De plus, pour cette même substance chimique, une erreur typographique a été relevée dans les exigences relatives au programme de communication des dangers. Le document objet du présent corrigendum corrige l'omission et 
l'erreur typographique. 
CALENDRIER: La correction prend effet le 15 juillet 2016. https://members.wto.org/crnattachments/2016/TBT/USA/16_2798_00_e.pdf

  DEMANDE D'ACCESSION À L'ACCORD SUR LES MARCHÉS PUBLICS 
COMMUNICATION PRÉSENTÉE PAR L'AUSTRALIE 
La communication ci-après, datée du 2 juin 2015, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation de 
l'Australie. 
 
_______________ 
 
 Monsieur,  
J'ai le plaisir de vous informer que le gouvernement australien a décidé de demander à accéder à 
l'Accord sur les marchés publics (AMP). Le Minist re australien du commerce et de l'investissement, 
le parlementaire M. Robb, a annoncé publiquement l'offre d'accession de l'Australie. 
 
L'Australie bénéficie d'un excellent système de passation des marchés publics basé sur les principes d'une utilisation optimale des ressources et de la non-discrimination, qui est ouvert à la 
concurrence des fournisseurs étrangers. 
 Je suis convaincu que l'Australie contribuera utilement à l'AMP et à l'élaboration des futures règles internationales concernant les marchés publics. 
 
J'ai l'intention de présenter une offre initiale en matière d'accès aux marchés et de répondre à la liste de questions (GPA/35) dans les prochains mois. 
 
Le gouvernement du Commonwealth a engagé de vastes négociations avec tous les États et Territoires avant de faire cette annonce. Je tiens à vous assurer, vous et tous les membres de 
l'AMP, que toutes les entités gouvernementales australiennes aux niveaux central et sous-central 
sont déterminées à œuvrer en vue d'une accession rapide à l'AMP.  N'hésitez pas à porter à mon attention ou à celle de mes collaborateurs 
(andrew.sainsbury@dfat.gov.au ) à la mission de l'Australie toutes questions que vous ou les 
membres de l'AMP souhaiteriez aborder en dehors de la structure formelle de la réunion. Nous 
tenons à faire avancer cette importante initiative que nous jugeons prioritaire. 
 
Je vous prie d'agréer, Monsieur, les assurances de ma haute considération
