Communication de l'Argentine 
 
 
 
 La communication ci-après, datée du 26 juin 2008, est distribuée à la demande de la 
délégation de l'Argentine . 
 
_______________ 
 
 1. La République argentine fait de nouveau part de sa préoccupation, dé jà exprimée dans la 
communication concernant le Règlement (CE) n° 834/07 qu'elle a présentée à la réunion du Comité 
OTC de mars 2008 (document G/TBT/W/284);  elle  souhaite insister sur l'incompatibilité des 
dispositions de l'article 24 c) dudit règlement avec l'Accord OTC. 
2. En effet, conformément à l'article 24 c) du Règlement n° 834/07, l'étiquetage des produits 
biologiques transformés dans les CE, qui sont donc des produits communautaires, doit indiquer 
l'origine des ingrédients ou matières premières co mposant le produit en question, selon l'une des 
formes suivantes : 
a) "Agriculture UE" lorsque la matière premiè re agricole a été produite dans l'Union 
européenne; 
b) "Agriculture non UE" lorsque la matière pr emière agricole a été produite dans des 
pays tiers; 
c) "Agriculture UE/non UE" lorsqu'une partie de la matière première agricole a été 
produite dans la Communauté et une autre partie dans un pays tiers. 
3. De même, ce règlement prévoit que les form es d'indication antérieures pourront être 
remplacées par la mention directe du pays de production des matières premières. 
4. Il faut souligner à cet égard que l'indication ob ligatoire de la provenance des intrants d'un 
produit qui est de toute façon d'origine communautai re étant donné qu'il a été élaboré sur le territoire 
des CE n'est pas nécessaire pour éviter d'induire le consommateur européen en erreur sur sa nature 
"biologique".  Le respect des exigences prévues par le Règlement garantit la nature biologique d'un 
produit, quelle que soit l'origine des matières premiè res qui le composent;  ces dernières doivent avoir 
été préalablement certifiées pour pouvoir entrer dans la catégorie des matières premières biologiques.   G/TBT/W/291 
Page 2  
 
  5. L'Argentine estime en fin de compte qu'une te lle distinction est non seulement inutile mais 
qu'elle pourrait éventuellement nuire aux produits ar gentins, en semant un doute injustifié chez le 
consommateur européen sur la nature et les qua lités des produits proposés.  Cette distinction pourrait 
être considérée comme incompatible avec les enga gements en vigueur dans le système multilatéral 
étant donné qu'elle n'est étayée ni par les dispositions de l'Accord de l'OMC sur les règles d'origine, ni 
par celles de l'Accord OTC de l'OMC, ni par les normes du Codex sur l'étiquetage, qui constituent le 
cadre normatif multilatéral de référence en la matière.

EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES – CONDITIONS FOR THE GRANTING 
OF TARIFF PREFERENCES TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 
 
Status Report by the European Communities
 
 
Addendum  
   The following communication, dated 4 May 2005, from the delegation of the European Communities to the Chairman of the Dis pute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to 
Article 21.6 of the DSU. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Status Report Regarding Implementation of the DSB Recommendations and Rulings
 
in the Dispute European Communities – Conditions for the Granting of Tariff Preferences  
to Developing Countries (WT/DS246)  
   The European Communities submits this re port in accordance with Article 21.6 of the 
Understanding on Rules and Procedures G overning the Settlement of Disputes. 
  On 20 April 2004, the Dispute Settlement Body  (the "DSB") adopted the Appellate Body 
Report and the Panel Report, as modified by the Appellate Body Report, in European Communities – 
Conditions for the Granting of Tar iff Preferences to Developing Countries  ("EC – Tariff 
Preferences ").  At the DSB meeting of 19 May 2004,  the European Communities confirmed its 
intention to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this dispute and stated that it 
would require a "reasonable period of time" in wh ich to do so, pursuant to Article 21.3 of the 
Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governi ng the Settlement of Disputes (the "DSU"). 
  Following the failure of the parties to reach a mutual agreement on the reasonable period for 
implementation, India requested that such period be  determined by binding arbitration, in accordance 
with Article 21.3(c) of the DSU.   The arbitral award issued on 20 September 2004 determined that the reasonable period of time for the European Communities to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this 
dispute is 14 months and 11 days from 20 April 20 04 and would therefore expire on 1 July 2005. 
  On 20 October 2004, the European Commission proposed to the Council of the European Union a new GSP regulation which would, inter alia , repeal the "drug arrangement" under Council 
Regulation (EC) No. 2501/2001.  This proposal is currently under discussion within the Council.
