salvaguardias realizada por el Comité de Salv aguardias de Indonesia (KPPI) respecto de las 
importaciones de encendedores y mecheros ha concluido sin proceder a la aplicación de medidas de 
salvaguardia definitivas. 
1. Producto objeto de la investigación 
 ● Producto del solicitante:  fósf oros (cerillas) clasificados en las partidas 3605.00.10.00;  
3605.00.20.00;  3605.00.33.00;  y 3605.00.40.00 del SA.

mecheros clasificados en las partid as del SA que figuran a continuación: 
 
Nº Partidas del SA 
1. 9613.10.11.00;  9613.10.19.00;  9613.10.91.00;  y 9613.10.99.00 
2. 9613.20.11.00;  9613.20.19.00;  9613.20.91.00;  y 9613.20.99.00

2. Fecha en que se inició la investigación 
 La iniciación de la investigación se notificó al Comité de Salvaguardias en el documento de 
la OMC G/SG/N/6/IDN/2, de fecha 12 de agosto de 2005.  G/SG/N/9/IDN/1 
Página 2  
 
  3. Fecha de terminación de la investigación 
 La investigación concluyó el 19 de enero de 2006. 
4. Motivos de la terminación de la investigación 
 
 El principal motivo de la terminación de la investigación es el haberse determinado que el 
aumento de las importaciones de encendedores y mecher os en Indonesia, en términos absolutos o en 
relación con la producción nacional de fósforos ( cerillas), no tiene un fuerte vínculo causal, siendo 
otros factores, distintos del aumento de las im portaciones, los que causan daño a la rama de 
producción nacional. 
5. Publicación del aviso de term inación de la investigación 
 
 La terminación de la inves tigación se publicó en el diario "Bisnis Indonesia Journal", de 
fecha 27 de enero de 2006, página 4.

Programmes non notifiés 
 
 Une étude récente, publiquement accessible3, indique que l'Allemagne applique de 
nombreux programmes de subventions fédéraux et infrafédéraux dont il apparaît qu'ils 
auraient dû être notifiés au titre de l'article 25 de l'Accord sur les subventions.  L'étude indique 
que, dans sa dernière notification, l'Allem agne n'a notifié que onze programmes pour 20064, 
alors que pendant l'année en question on compta it jusqu'à 180 programmes en application qui 
pouvaient être visés par les prescriptions en ma tière de notification.  Veuillez formuler des 
observations à ce sujet. 
 
Réponse  
 
 Selon l'Accord sur les subventions et les mesures compensatoires (Accord SMC), seule une 
subvention telle qu'elle est défini e au paragraphe 1 de l'article premier de l'Accord SMC qui est 
spécifique au sens de l'article 2 de l'Accord SM C sera assujettie aux prescriptions en matière de 
notification prévues à l'article 25 de l'Accord SMC.  En établissant la notification sur les subventions, 
l'Allemagne s'est strictement conformée à ces prescriptions et a inclus toutes les subventions 
accordées sur le territoire allemand qui répondent à ces critères.  L'Allemagne connaît l'étude en 
question, basée sur le principe "in dubio pro notifi cation", règle pour laquelle il n'y a aucun fondement 
juridique dans l'Accord SMC ni  dans l'article XVI:1 du GATT.

Preguntas y respuestas
 
 
 
 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 20 de novi embre de 2009, se distribuye a petición de las 
delegaciones de Ucrania y Moldova.   En el presente documento se reproducen las pre guntas formuladas a las Partes y las respuestas 
que éstas han presentado. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Preguntas de la delegación de la Argentina
 
 
1. En relación con los derechos de propiedad inte lectual (DPI), el artículo 19 del Acuerdo 
de Libre Comercio entre Ucrania y Moldova (Acuerdo) reza que " when necessary apply the 
measures foreseen in the WTO Agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual rights ".  Si bien 
el párrafo 2 del artículo 19 menciona "todos los objetos" ( all objects ) de propiedad intelectual, la 
enumeración que hace a continuación no incluye todos los derechos enumerados en el Acuerdo 
sobre los ADPIC. 
 
 Teniendo en cuenta que, por otra parte, el  párrafo 2 del artículo 29 del Acuerdo señala 
que " If there are inconsistencies and differences in the interpretation of the provisions of the 
present Agreement and norms of WTO agreements,  the norms of WTO agreements shall be of 
priority importance ": 
 
 a) ¿Podrían aclarar las partes si la en umeración del párrafo 2 del artículo 19 es 
taxativa? 
  La enumeración de objetos de propiedad intelectual que se hace en el párrafo 2 del artículo 19 
del Acuerdo de Libre Comercio entre Ucrania y Mol dova es taxativa.  Este es el motivo por el que 
debe entenderse que coincide plenamente con las categorías de propiedad intelectual especificadas en 
las secciones 1 a 7 de la parte II del Acuerdo s obre los ADPIC.  Por ejemplo, dicha enumeración 
incluye todos los DPI estipulados en el Acuerdo sobre los ADPIC. 
 
 b) ¿Podrían aclarar las partes el significado de los términos " topologies of integral 
microcircuits ", " industrial samples ", " commercial secrets " e " inventions " en 
relación con los ADPIC? 
 
 Debido a una traducción inadecuada de algunos términos utilizados en el párrafo 2 del 
artículo 19 del Acuerdo, hay disparidad entre ellos y la terminología empleada en el Acuerdo sobre 
los ADPIC.  Por esta razón: WT/REG249/2 
Página 2  
 
  por "copyright"  debe entenderse "copyright and related rights " (derecho de autor y 
derechos conexos) ; 
por "topologies  of integral microcircuits " debe entenderse "topographies of integrated 
circuits" (topografías de los circuitos integrados) ; 
por "industrial samples"  debe entenderse "industrial designs " (dibujos y modelos 
industriales) ; 
por "commercial secrets"  debe entenderse "protection of undisclosed information " 
(protección de la información no divulgada) ;  y 
 por  "inventions"  debe entenderse "patents " ("patents for invention ") (patentes (patentes de 
invenciones)) .
