LA SECTION 18 DU PROTOCOLE D'ACCESSION 
DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE POPULAIRE DE CHINE 
 
Questions des États-Unis à la Chine dans le cadre du mécanisme d'examen 
 
transitoire au titre de la section 18 du Protocole d'accession  
de la République populaire de Chine  
   La communication ci-après, datée du 24 septembre 2007, est distribuée à la demande de la 
délégation des États-Unis. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
I. DÉLIVRANCE DE FORMULAIRES D'ENREGISTREMENT AUTOMATIQUE 
1. Le Ministère du commerce de la Chine administre un régime de licences d'importation 
applicable aux importateurs de volaille, dénommé  système de formulaires d'enregistrement 
automatique (ARF) qui prévoit l'attribution de  quantités spécifiques aux importateurs admis à 
importer certains produits.  Ce système semble limiter la délivrance de formulaires d'enregistrement automatique aux nouveaux importateurs,  ce qui peut les exclure du marché. 
a) Veuillez indiquer les critères appliqués par le Ministère du commerce pour approuver 
ou rejeter les demandes de délivrance de fo rmulaires d'enregistrement automatique 
présentées par les importateurs.  Veuillez aussi indiquer les mesures qui définissent 
ces critères. 
b) Les États-Unis croient savoir qu'en 2006,  certaines demandes de délivrance de 
formulaires d'enregistrement automatique présentées par des importateurs ont été 
rejetées.  La Chine peut-elle fournir des statistiques pour les années 2001 à 2006 
inclus, indiquant le nombre de de mandes de délivrance de formulaires 
d'enregistrement automatique qui ont été présentées, approuvées et rejetées? 
c) Veuillez expliquer pourquoi la Chine attribue  des quantités spécifiques dans le cadre 
de son système ARF pour un produit comme la volaille qui est largement 
commercialisé et dont les prix sont compétitifs. 
d) Comment la Chine justifie-t-elle un système qui semble entraver les échanges par la 
mise en place d'un régime de licen ces d'importation pour la volaille?

  II. RÈGLES RELATIVES À LA PRÉSENTATION DE RAPPORTS CONCERNANT LES 
IMPORTATIONS 
2. Le 4 juin 2007, le Ministère du commerce a pr ésenté un projet de mesure intitulé "Mesures 
administratives relatives à la présentation de rappor ts et à la publication de renseignements sur les 
importations de produits agricoles en vrac".  Ce projet vise à mettre en œuvre de nouvelles règles 
relatives à la présentation de rapports sur les importations  de soja et de farine de soja, qui obligent à 
indiquer le prix contractuel.  À la connaissance  des États-Unis, aucun autre grand partenaire 
commercial ne demande des renseignements sur le pr ix contractuel des produits importés, sauf aux 
fins de l'évaluation en douane. 
a) Compte tenu des objectifs déclarés du projet de mesure du Ministère du commerce, il 
semblerait qu'il ne soit pas nécessaire de demander des renseignements sur les prix 
contractuels.  Veuillez expliquer pourquoi la Chine demande de tels renseignements 
dans son projet de mesure.

Respuesta a la pregunta complementar ia formulada por los ESTADOS UNIDOS1 
con relación a las respuestas de GUATEMALA2 
   La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 24 de oc tubre de 2008, se distribuye a petición de la 
Delegación de Guatemala.   
 
_______________ 
 
  La Delegación de Guatemala agradece a la De legación de Estados Unidos su interés en las 
notificaciones efectuadas por Guatemala de conformi dad con el párrafo 5 del artículo 18 del Acuerdo 
Antidumping de la OMC y el párrafo 6 del artíc ulo 32 del Acuerdo sobre Subvenciones y Medidas 
Compensatorias de la OMC, relativa al Reglamento Centroamericano sobre Prácticas Desleales de Comercio (en adelante, el " Reglamento ").   
 
 Al respecto, la Delegación de Guatemala se pe rmite dar respuesta a la pregunta adicional que 
le formulara Estados Unidos, circulada a los Mi embros el 18 de septiembre de 2008, bajo el 
documento G/ADP/Q1/GTM/14 y G/SCM/Q1/GTM/14.    
Pregunta 
 
 En respuesta a la pregunta 8 c) de los Estados Unidos relativa a los exámenes por extinción, Guatemala afirma:  "La autoridad investigadora […] podría
 (sin subrayar en el 
original) examinar la necesidad de mantener el derecho …" y a continuación agrega, "La 
medida expira automáticamente si, tras una revisión  (sin subrayar en el original), no se justifica 
mantener dicha medida en vigor".  ¿Podría Guat emala aclarar si la autoridad administradora 
realizará o no automáticamente exámenes por extinción como cuestión de rutina para 
determinar si se debería supr imir o no una medida?   
 
Respuesta  
 
 En la respuesta a la pregunta 8 c) deben di stinguirse las ideas contenidas en la primera 
oración respecto de las ideas contenidas en la segunda oración.  En la primera oración se indica la posibilidad que tiene la autoridad de examin ar la necesidad de mantener el derecho
, mientras que en la 
segunda oración se señala lo relativo a la expiración de una medida en vigor .  En ese sentido y, con 
relación a la pregunta adicional, debe entenderse que  la autoridad investigadora no realiza exámenes

  por extinción como cuestión de rutina para determinar  si se debería suprimir o no una medida.  Como 
se indicó originalmente en la re spuesta a la pregunta 8 c), las me didas expiran automáticamente, a 
menos que la autoridad investigador a, de oficio o a solicitud de parte, decida realizar una revisión 
para verificar si se justifica mantener
 dicha medida en vigor.

INFORMATION NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL
 
 
WTO Public Forum  
 
“The Forces Shaping World Trade” 
 
15-17 September 2010 
 
The WTO Public Forum represents an important opportunity for the public at large to engage 
in open discussion about the state of world trade and the latest global issues. This year the Public 
Forum has as its theme "The Forces Shaping World Trade ". It intends to explore how different factors 
on the world scene have an impact on the multilateral trading system, and to examine the WTO’s role 
in bolstering international trade fl ows and strengthening trade rules. 
In the 15 years since the establishment of th e WTO, the world has undergone major changes 
that have had an important impact on interna tional trade. A shift of power has occurred in 
international politics, leading to the rise of new po litical actors on the global scene. But the forces 
shaping world trade go beyond political stakeholde rs. Non-state actors are also influencing trade 
policy formulation both at the national and interna tional level.  At the same time, new issues are 
changing the nature of how the public views tr ade, and new technologies have changed the way 
business is conducted and the way people interact. Finally, the economic and financial crisis has 
posed new and more pressing challenges for the multilateral trading system. 
Against this backdrop, this year's Public Foru m wishes to identify futu re steps for the WTO. 
While the Doha Development Agenda remains a priority, the WTO needs to assess its post-crisis 
agenda, to continue brainstorming on all aspects of WTO work, and to contribute to greater coherence 
across issues of global governance. For further in formation on this year’s programme and core 
themes, visit our website http://www.wto.org/ publicforum . 
We kindly invite you to forward this message to any civil society organizations in your 
country who might have an interest in particip ating and contributing to the discussions during the 
WTO Public Forum 2010. 
If you have any suggestions on how to ensure th at this Public Forum is a success, please 
contact Maria Perez-Esteve (tel.: +41 22 739 55 46, email: maria.perez-esteve@wto.org ) from the 
Information and External Relations Division. 
The global importance of this year's topic makes your participation and contribution even 
more valuable. We invite you to book these dates in  your calendar and to engage with the WTO and 
its stakeholders in discussing the "forces shaping world trade".
