UNITED STATES – MEASURES AFFECTING TRADE  
IN LARGE CIVIL AIRCRAFT  
(SECOND COMPLAINT) 
 
Communication from the Appellate Body 
   The following communication, dated 4 July 2011, from the Chair of the Appellate Body addressed to the Chair of the Dispute Settlement Bo dy, is circulated in accordance with Article 17.5 
of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes . 
 
_______________ 
 
 I am writing to you pursuant to Article 17.5 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures 
Governing the Settlement of Disputes , which stipulates that, as a general rule, the Appellate Body will 
circulate its Report no later than 60 days afte r the appellant has formally notified the Dispute 
Settlement Body (the "DSB") of its decision to appeal .  Article 17.5 states, furthermore, that when the 
Appellate Body considers that it cannot provide its Report within 60 days, it shall inform the DSB in 
writing of the reasons for the delay together with an estimate of the period within which it will submit 
its Report.  
 The European Union notified the DSB on 1 April 2011 of its decision to appeal certain issues 
of law covered in the Panel Report and legal interpretations developed by the Panel in this case, with 
the result that the 60-day period expired on Tuesday, 31 May 2011.  Due to the considerable size of the record and complexity of the appeal, the need  to hold multiple sessions of the oral hearing, and 
taking into account the current overall workload of the Appellate Body, the Appellate Body was not 
able to circulate its Report by Tuesday, 31 May 2011.  The Appellate Body will hold a first session of 
the oral hearing in August and a second session in October 2011, and will provide thereafter an 
estimate for circulation of its Report in this dispute.

UNITED STATES – CERTAIN COUNTRY OF ORIGIN  
LABELLING REQUIREMENTS 
 
Request for Consultations by Mexico
 
  
 The following communication, dated 17 Dece mber 2008, from the delegation of Mexico to 
the delegation of the United States and to the Chairm an of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated 
in accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU. 
 
_______________ 
 
  The Government of Mexico hereby requests consultations with the Government of the 
United States pursuant to Articles 1 and 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing 
the Settlement of Disputes  (DSU), Article XXII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994  
(GATT 1994), Article 14 of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade  (TBT Agreement), 
Article 11 of the Agreement on the Application of  Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS 
Agreement), and Article 7 of the Agreement on Rules of Origin, concerning the mandatory country of 
origin labelling (COOL) provisions in the Agricultural Marketing Act  of 1946 , as amended by the 
Farm, Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 
2008,  and as implemented through the regulati ons published as 7 CFR Parts 60 and 65. 
  In the case of certain products, the determination of their nationality deviates considerably 
form international country of origin labelling standa rds, a situation which has not been justified as 
necessary to fulfil a legitimate objective.    The mandatory COOL provisions appear to be inconsistent with the United States' obligations 
under the WTO Agreement, including:  
(i) Articles III, IX, and X of the GATT 1994; 
(ii) Article 2 of the TBT Agreement, or, in the alternative, Articles 2, 5 and 7 of the 
SPS Agreement;  and 
(iii) Article 2 of the Agreement on Rules of Origin . 
 
 These violations appear to nullify or impair  the benefits accruing to Mexico under those 
Agreements.  Moreover, these measures appear to nulli fy or impair the benefits accruing to Mexico in 
the sense of Article XXIII:l(b) of the GATT 1994. WT/DS386/1, G/L/878,  
G/TBT/D/34, G/SPS/GEN/893,  G/RO/D/7 
Page 2 
  
   Mexico reserves the right to raise further factual and legal claims in the course of the 
consultations.  
 We look forward to receiving the US Government's  response to this request in order to set a 
mutually convenient date for consultations.
