1. Mesures financées par le Fonds européen agricole de garantie (FEAGA):  Il ressort de la 
page 8 du document G/SCM/N/253/EU que les subventions à l'exportation ont globalement 
diminué, sauf pour la viande bovine, dont le niveau de subvention a augmenté en 2012 par 
rapport à 2010. À cet égard, l'UE est priée d'expo ser de façon plus détaillée les éléments qui ont 
favorisé le maintien d'un écart important entre les prix qu'elle pratique et ceux du commerce 
international. 
 On observe en outre que la subvention pour les "œ ufs et volaille" est restée relativement stable au 
cours de la période 2010-2012 et qu'il s'agit, de puis 2011, de la subvention la plus importante, 
aussi bien en valeur absolue que par rapport aux autres produits. C'est pourquoi l'UE est priée 
d'exposer en détail les conditions qui ont favorisé le maintien d'un écart important entre les prix qu'elle pratique et ceux du commerce international.

 At its meeting on 29 August 2014, the Di spute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its 
recommendations and rulings in the dispute China — Measures Related to the Exportation of Rare 
Earths, Tungsten and Molybdenum (DS433).  At the meeting of the DSB held on

rulings in this dispute and stated that it would need  a reasonable period of time in which to do so. 
Article 21.3(c) of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of 
Disputes  ("DSU") provides that, in the absence of an agreement between the parties on a period of 
time, the reasonable period of time shall be determined "through binding arbitration within 
90 days after the date of adoption of the recommendations and rulings." 
In order to allow sufficient time for the parties to discuss a mutually agreed period, China and 
Japan (i) agree that, in the event an arbitration under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU is requested, it 
shall be completed no later than 60 days after the date of the appointment of an arbitrator, unless 
the arbitrator, following consultation with the parties, considers that additional time is required; and (ii) hereby confirm that any award of the arbitrator (including an award not made within 
90 days after the date of adoption of the DSB recommendations and rulings) shall be deemed to 
be an award of the arbitrator for the purposes of Article 21.3(c) of the DSU in determining the reasonable period of time for China to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB. 
We respectfully request that you circulate th is notification to the Members of the DSB.
