NOTIFICATION OF REQUEST FOR CONSULTATIONS 
PURSUANT TO SECTION 16.1 OF PART I OF THE PROTOCOL 
ON THE ACCESSION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA 
 
Request for Consultations from Canada  
  
 The following communication, dated 9 November 2005, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Canada. 
_______________ 
   On 8 November 2005, Canada requested consulta tions with the Government of the People’s 
Republic of China, pursuant to Article 16.1 of th e Protocol of Accession of the People’s Republic of 
China, with a view to seeking a mutually sa tisfactory solution regarding a finding of market 
disruption caused by increased imports of ba rbeques of Chinese origin into Canada.   
  On 11 October 2005, the Canadian Internationa l Trade Tribunal (CITT) made an affirmative 
determination that barbeques from China are being imported into Canada in such increased quantities 
and under such conditions, as to be a significant cau se of market disruption to domestic producers of 
like or directly competitive goods (Inquiry CS-2005-001 Market Disruption Safeguard Inquiry into Barbeques Originating in the People’s Republic of China).    The report submitted to the Government of Ca nada by the CITT contains the CITT findings 
and reasoned conclusions reached on all pertinent issues of fact and law, and a summary of the 
information collected during the investigation.  The report is a public document that can be 
downloaded from the CITT website at: http://www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/safeguar/marinq/finalrep/cs2f001_e.asp
 
  The CITT’s full analysis is set out in the report.  For the purposes of its enquiry, the CITT 
considered barbeques to consist of self-standing barb eques for outdoor use, consisting of a metal lid, 
base and frame, fuelled by propane or natural gas,  with primary cooking space between 200 and 1,500 
square inches, in assembled or k nocked-down condition.  The products  are provided for in tariff line 
7321.11.90 of Canada’s  Customs Tariff . 
  Pursuant to the Referral Order made on Augu st 15, 2005 (P.C. 2005-1368), in which the 
Government of Canada requested that the CITT recommend the most appropriate remedy to address 
any market disruption or threat thereof that may be found in this case in accordance with Canada’s 
rights and obligations under international trade ag reements, the CITT recommended the imposition of 
a surtax of 15% over a period of three years.  
 The Government of Canada is not subject to a statutory timeline from re ceipt of a CITT report 
containing an affirmative determinat ion of market disruption, or threat thereof, to decide what 
safeguard measure, if any, will be imposed.  The Government will examine the report and respond to 
the CITT recommendations in due course.

Comunicación de Panamá 
 
 
 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 11 de diciembre de 2006, dirigida por la delegación de 
Panamá a la delegación de las Comunidades Europeas,  a la delegación del Ecuador y al Presidente del 
Órgano de Solución de Diferencias, se distribuye  de conformidad con el párrafo 11 del artículo 4 
del ESD.  
_______________ 
  
 El Gobierno de Panamá toma nota de la solicitud de celebración de consultas revisada 
presentada por el Ecuador el 28 de novi embre de 2006 en relación con el asunto Comunidades 
Europeas - Régimen para la importación, venta y distribución de bananos - Recurso del Ecuador al 
párrafo 5 del artículo 21 del ESD  (WT/DS27/65/Rev.1).  Panamá, habida cuenta de su "interés como 
abastecedor principal" en la exportación de bananos al mercado de las CE, solicita por la presente ser 
asociado a las consultas de conformidad c on los párrafos 10 y 11 del artículo 4 del Entendimiento 
relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de diferencias  (ESD). 
  El cultivo agrícola más importante de Panamá  es el banano, que representa cerca del 16 por 
ciento de su producción agrícola y el 58 por ciento de sus exportaciones agrícolas totales.  Casi todas 
las exportaciones de banano de Panamá se expiden al mercado de las CE.  Panamá tiene en su sector 
bananero una de sus fuentes de empleo más impor tantes, especialmente en sus regiones rurales más 
pobres.   El 19 de enero de 2006, Panamá, sin perjui cio de ninguno de sus derechos e intereses 
jurídicos, participó con Honduras y Nicaragua en l as consultas celebradas con las CE, de conformidad 
con lo dispuesto en el párrafo 5 del artículo 21, para   examinar las medidas discriminatorias de las CE 
con respecto al banano.  En aquel momento, como en otros intercambios habidos desde entonces, las 
CE dejaron claro que no estaban dispuestas a hace r nada más que "supervisar" su régimen de acceso 
vigente. 
 
 En consecuencia, Panamá sigue teniendo un gran  interés en participar tan plenamente como 
sea posible en el proceso de consultas y examen del párrafo 5 del artículo 21, así como en tratar de resolver este desacuerdo lo antes posible.

 D'après la notification, le MFS comprend trois éléments de financemen t, dont un consiste en 
une aide au financement à concurrence de 15 pour cen t du prix d'achat d'un nouveau navire construit 
au Canada.  Ce type de soutie n prend la forme d'une contributio n non remboursable.  Ce mécanisme 
semble soutenir indirectement les chantiers na vals canadiens qui, grâce au programme, peuvent 
proposer des prix plus bas que ce ux des chantiers navals étrangers. 
  Le Canada pourrait-il explique r le fonctionnement de ce programme et indiquer combien 
d'acheteurs de navires ont réellement bénéficié de  cette forme spécifique d'aide au financement au 
cours de la période considérée?  20. Programme des adhérents pionniers de l'hydrogène 
 
 D'après la description du programme, les investis sements relèvent de la Loi sur le Ministère 
de l'industrie.  
 Le Canada pourrait-il indiquer si les entreprises étrangères peuvent également être admises à 
bénéficier des avantages prévus dans le cadre de ce programme?  Quels sont les critères exacts d'admissibilité au bénéfice de ce programme?
