ESTADOS UNIDOS - DETERMINADAS MEDIDAS RE LATIVAS  
A LOS PRODUCTOS DE A CERO Y ALUMINIO  
COMUNICACIÓN DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 11 de octubre  de 2018, dirigida por la delegación de los Estados 
Unidos a la delegación de  China , se distribuye al Órgano de Solución de Diferencias (OSD) a petición 
de los Estados Unidos.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Los Estados Unidos han recibido su  carta de fecha 30 de agosto  de 2018, en la que solicitaba que 
se le asocia ra a las consultas solicitadas por Turquía  en el documento WT/DS5 64/1. 
La solicitud de Turquía  se refiere a una medida que los Estados Unidos estiman necesaria para la 
protección de los intereses esenciales de su seguridad, adoptada  por el Presidente de los Estados  
Unidos en virtud del artículo 232 de la Ley de Expansión del Comercio Exterior de 1962. L as 
cuestiones relativas a la seguridad nacional son asuntos políticos  que no son susceptibles de examen 
ni pueden ser objeto de resolución  en el marco de la soluci ón de diferencias en  la OMC . Cada Miembro 
de la OMC conserva la facultad de determinar por sí mismo  los asuntos que estime necesarios para 
la protección de los intereses esenciales de su seguridad, como qued a reflejado en el texto del 
artículo XXI del GATT de 1994. 
Los Estados Unidos no consideran que la reivindicación de i nterés comercial sustancial de China en 
estas consultas esté bien fundada . Los Estados Unidos rechazan su solicitud de asoci ación a estas 
consultas.

On 31 July 2015, the Dispute Settlement Body (" DSB") adopted the rulings and recommendations 
of the Panel Report, as modified by the Appellate Body Report, in Peru – Additional Duty on 
Imports of Certain Agricultural Products (DS457). At the DSB meeting held on 31 August 2015,

requested a reasonable period of time to do so.   
 
Pursuant to Article 21.3(b) of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the 
Settlement of Disputes  ("DSU"), Guatemala held consultations with Peru aimed at reaching a 
mutually agreed reasonable period of time for implementation of the DSB's rulings and 
recommendations.  The parties extended the period in which to engage in discussion to arrive at a 
mutually agreed solution in a letter dated 14 September 2015.1 However, to date, the parties have 
not been able to reach an agreement.  Accordingl y, Guatemala requests that the reasonable period 
of time be determined through binding arbitratio n pursuant to Article 21.3(c) of the DSU.   
 
Guatemala looks forward to consulting with Peru on the appointment of the arbitrator within the 
next ten days, as provided in footnote 12 of the DSU.
