CHINE – MESURES AFFECTANT LES DROITS DE COMMERCIALISATION

Notification d'un autre appel des États-Unis présentée conformément aux articles 16:4
 
et 17 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant le  
règlement des différends (Mémorandum  d'accord) et à la règle 23 1 )

 La notification ci-après, datée du 5 octobre 2009 et adressée par la délégation des États-Unis, est distribuée aux Membres.  
_______________ 
  
 Conformément à la règle 23 des Procédures de travail pour l'examen en appel , les États-Unis 
notifient leur décision de faire appel, auprès de l'Organe d'appel, de certaines questions de droit 
couvertes par le rapport du Groupe spécial  Chine – Mesures affectant les droits de commercialisation 
et les services de distribution pour certaines publ ications et certains produits de divertissement 
audiovisuels (WT/DS363/R et Corr.1) ("rapport du Groupe spécial") et de certaines interprétations du 
droit données par celui-ci dans ce différend.   Les États-Unis demandent que l'Organe d'a ppel examine la constatation du Groupe spécial 
selon laquelle la prescription relative au plan de l'État énoncée à l'article 42 du Règlement sur les 
publications  peut être qualifiée de "nécessaire" à la prot ection de la moralité publique en Chine au 
sens de l'article XX a) de l' Accord général sur les tarifs  douaniers et le commerce de 1994 .
1  Cette 
conclusion est erronée et est fondée sur des constata tions erronées relatives à des questions de droit et 
à des interprétations du droit, et sur le fait que  le Groupe spécial ne s'est pas acquitté de ses 
obligations au titre de l'article 11 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règle s et procédures régissant le 
règlement des différends , à savoir procéder à une évaluation objec tive de la question dont il était saisi.
