UNITED STATES – CERTAIN MEASURES ON STEEL AND ALUMINIUM PRODUCTS  
COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNITED STATES  
The following communication, dated 29 August 2018 , from the delegation of the United States  to 
the delegation of China, is circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB)  at the request 
of the United States . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The United States has received your letter dated 12 July 2018, requesting to join in the 
consultations requested by Russia as circulated in document WT/DS554/1.  
 
Russia's request  concerns an action that the United States considers necessary for the protection 
of its essential security interests, taken by the President of the United States pursuant to Section 
232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Issues of national security are p olitical matters not 
susceptible to review or capable of resolution by WTO dispute settlement. Every Member of the 
WTO retains the authority to determine for itself those matters that it considers necessary to the 
protection of its essential security inter ests, as is reflected in the text of Article XXI of the GATT 
1994.  
 
The United States does not consider that China's claim of a substantial trade interest in these 
consultations is well -founded. The United States is declining your request to join these 
consultations.

  CHINE – SUBVENTIONS AUX PRODUCTEURS D'ALUMINIUM PRIMAIRE  
DEMANDE DE PARTICIPA TION AUX CONSULTATIO NS 
Communication présentée par la Fédération de Russie  
La communication ci -après, datée du 2 7 janvier  2017 et adressée par la délégation de la 
Fédération de Ru ssie à la délégation de la Chine, à la délégation des États -Unis et au Président de 
l'Organe de règlement des différends, est distribuée conformément à l'article 4:11 du 
Mémorandum d'accord sur le règlement des différends.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Je souhaite me  référer aux consultations demandées par les États -Unis conformément aux 
articles 1er et 4 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant le règlement des 
différends (le "Mémorandum d'accord"), à l'article XXII:1 de l'Accord général sur les tarifs 
douaniers et le commerce de 1994 et aux articles 7 et 30 de l'Accord sur les subventions et les 
mesures compensatoires ("Accord SMC")  (dans la mesure où l'article 30 incorpore l'article XXII du 
GATT de 1994) dans la communication distribuée aux Memb res de l'OMC le 1 7 janvier  2017 
(WT/DS519/1; G/SCM/D113/1;  G/L/1173), intitulée " Chine – Subventions aux producteurs 
d'aluminium primaire " (DS519) . Les autorités de mon pays m'ont chargé de notifier aux Membres 
qui prennent part aux consultations et à l'Or gane de règlement des différends que la Fédération de 
Russie souhaite être admise à participer à ces consultations, conformément à l'article 4:11 du 
Mémorandum d'accord.  
La Fédération de Russie note que la demande de consultations concerne l'octroi de 
subventions aux producteurs chinois d'aluminium primaire . Les résultats de ces consultations 
pourraient  en définitive affecter les courants d'échanges mondiaux d'aluminium primaire . La 
Russie est l'un des principaux producteurs et exportateurs d'aluminium prim aire et l'un des 
partenaires commerciaux importants de la Chine . La production annuelle d'aluminium primaire de 
la Fédération de Russie a atteint 3,6 millions de tonnes métriques en 2015, soit 7 % du total 
mondial.  
Par conséquent, la Fédération de Russie a un intérêt commercial substantiel dans ces 
consultations .
