que, en règle générale , l'Organe d'appel dist ribuera son rapport dans les 60  jours suivant la date à 
laquelle l'appelant a notifié formellement à l'Organe de règlement des différends (ORD) sa décision 
de faire appel . L'article 17:5 dispose aussi que, lorsque l'Organe d'appel estimera qu'il ne peut pas 
présenter son rapport dans les 60 jours, "il informera l'ORD par écrit des raisons de ce retard et lui 
indiquera dans quel dé lai il estime pouvoir présenter son rapport . En aucun cas, la procédure ne 
dépassera 90 jours ". 
L'Ukraine  a notifié le 27 août 2018 à l'ORD sa décision de faire appel de certaines questions de droit 
couvertes par le rapport du Groupe spécial  et de certaine s interprétations du droit données par 
celui-ci dans ce tte affaire . Par conséquent, le délai de 60 jours arrive  à expiration le  26 octobre  2018. 
L'Organe d 'appel n 'est pas en mesure de distribuer son rapport pour cette date . 
L'Organe d'appel n'est pas non plus en mesure de distribuer son rapport dans le délai de 90 jours 
prévu dans la dernière phrase de l'article 17:5 du Mémorandum d'accord. À cet égard, nous nous 
référons à la taille du dossier du Groupe spécial et à la compl exité des questions faisant l'objet de 
l'appel. Nous notons en outre que, c ompte tenu de l'accumulation actuelle d' appels en cours auprès 
de l'Organe d'appel  et du chevauchement dans la composition de l'ensemble des  sections résultant 
en partie  du nombre r éduit des membres de l'Organe d'appel , les membres des sections  ne peuvent 
actuellement consacrer que très peu de  temps  à la préparation du présent appel . Il ne sera pas 
possible à la section  de se concentrer sur l'examen du présent appel et de compter avec le personnel 
nécessaire pendant quelque temps . 
Dès que nous sa urons plus précisément quand la section  peut prévoir  l'audience concernant  le 
présent appel, nous informerons les  participants et les membres de l'ORD.

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 composition and terms of referenc e 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 cannot 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.
