UNITED STATES – ANTI-DUMPING MEASURE ON SHRIMP FROM ECUADOR 
 
Request to Join Consultations
 
 
Communication from India 
 
 
 The following communication, dated 28 November 2005, from the delegation of India to the delegation of the United States, the delegation of  Ecuador and to the Chairman of the Dispute 
Settlement Body, is circulated in acco rdance with Article 4.11 of the DSU. 
 
 
_______________ 
    
 Pursuant to Article 4.11 of the Understa nding on Rules and Procedures Governing the 
Settlement of Disputes (DSU), the Government of Indi a hereby notifies its desire to be joined in the 
consultations requested by Ecuador pursuant to Article 4 of the DSU, Article XXII of General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994)  and Article 17 of the Agreement on 
Implementation of Article VI of the GATT 1994 (Anti-Dumping Agreement) concerning the final 
affirmative determination of sales at less than fa ir value with respect to certain frozen warmwater 
shrimp from Ecuador.  The 17 November 2005 communi cation from the delegation of Ecuador to the 
delegation of the United States was circulated to WTO Members on 21 November 2005 (WT/DS335/1;  G/L/762; G/ADP/D63/1).   India has substantial trade interest in the matt er in dispute in view of similar determination 
having been made on shrimp imported from India, as well as systemic interest in the matter of 
calculation of dumping margins and other provisions of the Anti-Dumping Agreement raised in the consultation request of Ecuador.  I ndia's substantial trade interest in  the matter is evidenced also by 
the fact that India has significant exports of shrimp to the United States.  
 We would be grateful of being informed of the date and venue of consultations, so as to 
enable us to participate in the consultations.

ASSISTANCE TECHNIQUE 
L'Allemagne fait un do n de 150 000 euros pour  les normes sur la 
sécurité sanitaire des produits al imentaires, la santé des animaux 
et la préservation des végétaux 
L'Allemagne a fait un don de 150 000 euros (approximativement 186 500 CHF) au Fonds pour 
l'application des normes et le développement du commerce (FANDC).  La contribution totale de l'Allemagne aux fonds d'affectation spéciale de l'OMC s'élève désormais à 18,6 millions de CHF 
(environ 15 millions d'euros). 
 Ce programme vise à aider les pays en développement à améliorer leurs compétences et leurs 
capacités en matière d'analyse et de mise en œuvre des normes internationales sur la sécurité 
sanitaire des produits alimentaires, la santé des animaux et la préservation des végétaux.  Le FANDC est une initiative conjointe de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce, de l'Organisation 
mondiale de la santé, de la Banque mondiale, de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé animale et de 
l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture.  
"Le respect des normes internationales peut être un obstacle à la pleine participation des pays en 
développement au système commercial multilatéral.  Je me réjouis du don de l'Allemagne qui permettra d'améliorer l'analyse et la mise en œuvre des normes SPS internationales par les pays 
en développement ", a déclaré le Directeur général de l'OMC, M. Pascal Lamy. 
 
Le Représentant permanent adjoint de l'Allemagne auprès de l'OMC, M. Konrad Scharinger, a 
déclaré ce qui suit:  "Pour l'Allemagne, aider les pays en développement à renforcer leur capacité à 
participer au commerce international est un objectif primordial.  Ils pourront ainsi obtenir et maintenir un accès aux marchés.  Cela est crucial puisque nous savons que le commerce peut 
jouer un rôle important dans la croissance, le développement et la réduction de la pauvreté."
