 LDC MINISTERIAL CONF ERENCE TRUST FUND 20 17 
1  BALANCE OF LDC MINIS TERIAL CONFERENCE TR UST FUND  
1.1.  Since the first WTO Ministerial Conference held in Singapore in 1996, the WTO Secretariat 
has facilitated the participation of Least -Developed Countries (LDCs) in the Min isterial 
Conferences, funded from  voluntary contributions pooled into a special extra -budgetary fund.  
Costs related to air travel, accommodation and per diem allowances of LDC delegations , comprised 
of one Minister and two high level officials , are covered.  In 2015, the 10th Ministerial Conference 
took place in Nairobi, in Kenya . 
Table 1 Ministerial Conference  MC10  – Participation of Least -Developed Countries 
(TMI 10) 
Expressed in  ('000 CHF)   
Funds as at 1 January 2015  - 
Contributions received in 2015  454 
Total funds  454 
Total expenditures in 2015  -454 
Balance as at 31  December 2015  - 
Reimbursement received in 2016  79 
Balance as at 31  December 2016  79 
 
1.2.  At the en d of a given Ministerial Conference , the remaining balances in favour of the various 
donors are traditionally carried forward and added to the new contributions to be utilized for the 
same purpose in the subsequent Conference unless the donor requests a reimbursem ent. At the 
end of 2015  after the conclusion of the Ministerial Conference the funds were  fully utilized. 
However, in 2016, WTO received a reimbursement of 79  kCHF. 
1.3.  The fund has not received any contributions in 2017 and therefore the opening balance is as 
follows:  
Table 2 Ministeria l Conference MC11 – Participation of Least -Developed Countries 
(TMI 11) 
Expressed in ('000 CHF)   
Funds as at 1  January*2017  79 
Contributions received  0 
Total funds  79 
Total expenditures  0 
Ending Balance 2017  79 
*  reimbursement of 79 kCHF for accommo dation costs received in 2016 and carried forward as 
opening balance for MC11  
 
1.4.  It is estimated that costs for MC11 will be higher than in Kenya for MC10. In fact, t he 
estimated cost of LDC Members and Observers' participation amounts to 845,000 CHF. This 
includes travel, accommodation and per diem for three officials per country.

 UNITED STATES – ANTI -DUMPING MEASURES ON CERTAIN OIL  
COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS  FROM KOREA  
COMMUNICATION FROM T HE PANEL  
The following communication, dated 19 December 2016 , was received from the Chairperson of the 
Panel with the request that it be circulated to  the Dispute Settlement Body.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of 
Disputes  (DSU) provides that the period in which a panel shall conduct its examination, from the 
date that the compositio n and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the 
date the final report is issued to the parties to the dispute, shall, as a general rule, not exceed 
six months.  
 
Article 12.9 of the DSU provides that, when a panel considers that it can not issue its report within 
six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and indicate 
the reasons, together with an estimate of the period within which it will issue its report.  
 
The Panel on United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from 
Korea (WT/DS488) was established by the DSB on 25 March 2015 and composed on 13  July 2015.  
 
The letter of the Chairperson of the Panel to the DSB on 12 January 2016 indicated that the 
beginning of the  Panel's work was delayed as a result of a lack of available experienced lawyers in 
the Secretariat and that the Panel did not expect to issue its final report to the parties before the 
end of 2016.  
 
Following an additional delay as a result of the need to  appoint a new Chairperson of the Panel and 
due to the complexity of the issues raised by the parties in this dispute, the Panel now expects to 
issue its final report to the parties by June 2017.

  NOTA PARA LAS DELEGACIONES 
FORMALIDADES DE SALIDA PARA LOS MINISTROS/JEFES DE DELEGACIÓN 
Y OTROS PARTICIPANTES EN LA NO VENA CONFERENCIA MINISTERIAL 
Se adjunta una comunicación del Equipo de Trabajo de Indonesia para la Novena Conferencia 
Ministerial, de fecha 5 de diciembre de 2013.  
_______________ 
 
 En la presente nota figura información actualizada sobre las formalidades de salida para todos los 
participantes en la Novena Conferencia Ministerial que salgan del Aeropuerto Internacional Ngurah 
Rai de Bali. 
Ministros/Jefes de Delegación 
Se ruega a cada delegación que nombre a un representante que se encargue de la facturación del 
equipaje de su Jefe de Delegación y de los demás Ministros de la delegación. El representante deberá llevar el equipaje, los pasaportes y los billetes a la zona de salidas del aeropuerto tres horas antes de la salida del vuelo si se trata de un vuelo internacional y dos horas antes si se trata 
de un vuelo nacional (lo que incluye los vuelos con escala en Yakarta) para realizar los trámites de 
facturación. 
En el caso de los vuelos internacionales, el representante también tendrá que pagar la tasa de 
servicio de 150.000 rupias (aproximadamente 13,50 dólares EE.UU.) para cada pasajero, incluidos 
los Ministros. Esta tasa debe pagarse en efectivo en la moneda local. En el caso de los vuelos nacionales con una compañía que no sea Garuda Indonesia, esa tasa es de 40.000 rupias 
(aproximadamente 3,50 dólares EE.UU.). 
Sólo podrán acceder a la sala VIP del aeropuerto los Ministros/Jefes de Delegación que salgan de 
Bali antes del 8 de diciembre o en esa misma fech a. Los que salgan después del 8 de diciembre no 
tendrán acceso a la sala VIP y deberán utilizar la terminal principal de pasajeros. 
En la tarde del 6 y del 7 de diciembre se irán de Bali muchos Ministros/Jefes de Delegación, por lo 
que es probable que la sala VIP esté muy concurrida. Alentamos a los Ministros/Jefes de Delegación a que no utilicen esa sala, sino la recién inaugurada terminal principal de salidas 
internacionales del Aeropuerto Ngurah Rai, o la terminal principal de salidas nacionales (incluidos 
los vuelos con escala en Yakarta). 
Si el representante de la delegación ha completado los trámites de facturación con anterioridad, el 
Ministro/Jefe de Delegación deberá llegar al aeropuerto aproximadamente una hora antes de la 
salida del vuelo para un vuelo internacional o unos 45 minutos para un vuelo nacional. WT/MIN(13)/INF/16 
- 2 - 
  Todos los demás participantes en la  Novena Conferencia Ministerial 
En la zona de salidas de la terminal internacional principal y de la terminal de vuelos nacionales 
habrá un mostrador para ayudar con los trámites de facturación a todos los participantes en la Novena Conferencia Ministerial. En ese mostrador sólo se dará información y no se podrá realizar 
la facturación, ni efectuar el pago de la tasa de servicio o de las tasas por exceso de equipaje en 
nombre de las delegaciones.

  DECLARACIÓN DEL EXCMO. SR . KENNETH MAK CHING-YU 
DIRECTOR GENERAL DE COMERCIO E INDUSTRIA 
HONG KONG, CHINA 
En los dos últimos meses, guiados admirablemente por el Director General, Roberto Azevêdo, las 
negociaciones sobre el paquete para Bali tomaro n otro rumbo. Los Miembros consiguieron fijar 
diez textos de negociación y en cuestión de días resolvieron las principales dificultades del Acuerdo sobre Facilitación del Comercio, incluida su Sección II. Era impensable hace unos meses. Si bien 
no pudimos llegar a un acuerdo sobre todo el paquete en Ginebra, el fracaso no es inevitable. Con 
las bases sólidas del trabajo hecho hasta ahora, tenemos el resultado al alcance de la mano. Basta dar unos cuantos pasos más para que las negociaciones concluyan con éxito. 
 
Reafirmo la voluntad firme de Hong Kong, China de lograr un acuerdo global en Bali. Seguimos defendiendo con la misma determinación el sistema multilateral de comercio porque Hong Kong, 
China se ha beneficiado, y se seguirá beneficiando, de un sistema estable, transparente, inclusivo 
y basado en normas en el marco de la OMC. Quisiera destacar el interés del paquete de Bali propuesto para todos los países en desarrollo y menos adelantados, que se beneficiarían no solo de un incremento en el volumen del comercio y nuevas oportunidades de empleo, sino también de 
las disposiciones sobre trato especial y diferenciado, verdaderamente innovadoras y adaptadas a 
las condiciones particulares, de la Sección II del Acuerdo sobre Facilitación del Comercio. El paquete de Bali redundará en beneficios inmediatos y de largo plazo para millones de personas en 
todo el mundo. Si todo ello está tan al alcance, ¿por qué querríamos renunciar ahora? 
 Hong Kong, China no considera una opción viable posponer la decisión sobre el paquete para Bali. 
Es ahora o nunca. Un fracaso en Bali tendría graves consecuencias para la OMC. Si fallamos ahora, 
cuando estamos tan cerca, la función de negociación de la OMC sufrirá un daño irreparable y podría perder con el tiempo toda relevancia. Es por el bien de todos que necesitamos una OMC fuerte. 
 
Creo que los ministros aquí reunidos son conscientes de que podemos llegar a un acuerdo. Aunemos las fuerzas con el Director General para dar este impulso político final y cruzar la línea de 
llegada, aquí en Bali. 
 Si no hay paquete de Bali, es inútil hablar sobre la situación después de Bali. Solo quiero decir que 
la OMC debe ser una organización orientada al futuro y que tiene que abordar las cuestiones 
comerciales pertinentes cuando se presentan. Muchas gracias.
