impliquées dans des activités de production pour promouvoir des articles destinés à l'exportation.  
C'est le cas pour la filière café et thé.  D'après l'ar ticle 6.2 de l'Accord sur l' agriculture, dernier alinéa, 
le Burundi n'a pas à inclure le soutien interne qu' il accorde dans le calcul de sa Mesure globale de 
soutien totale courante, eu égard à son st atut de pays en voie de développement.

Rapport de situation sur la mise en œuvre d es recommandations et décisions de l'ORD 
concernant le différend Chine – Mesures affectant les droits de commercialisation 
et les services de distribution pour certaines publications et certains produits 
de divertissement audiovisuels 
(WT/DS363) 
 
 
 La Chine soumet le présent rapport conformément à l'article 21:6 du Mémorandum d'accord 
sur les règles et procédures régissant le règlement des différends . 
 À sa réunion du 19 janvier 2010, l'ORD a adopté le  rapport de l'Organe d'appel et le rapport 
du Groupe spécial, tel que modifié par le rapport de l'Organe d'appel Chine – Mesures affectant les 
droits de commercialisation et les services de di stribution pour certaines publications et certains 
produits de divertissement audiovisuels (WT/DS363).  Le 18 février 2010, la Chine a informé l'ORD 
de son intention de mettre en œuvre les recommandati ons et décisions de l'ORD en la matière.  Le 
12 juillet 2010, la Chine et les États-Unis ont in formé l'ORD qu'ils étaient convenus que le délai 
raisonnable imparti à la Chine pour la mise en œuvre des recommandations et décisions de l'ORD 
serait de 14 mois à compter de la date d'adopti on des rapports du Groupe spécial et de l'Organe 
d'appel.   
 La Chine a fait d'énormes efforts pour mettre en œuvre les décisions et recommandations de 
l'ORD et a déjà modifié la plupart des mesures en cause, y compris le Règlement sur la gestion des 
publications , le Règlement sur la gestion des produits audiovisuels et les Dispositions concernant 
l'administration du marché des publications .  Le projet de modification du Catalogue des branches de 
production destiné à orienter l'investissement étranger  a été publié aux fins de recueillir les 
observations du public.  Cela démontre bien que le gouvernement chinois est sincèrement décidé à 
mettre en œuvre les décisions et recommandations de l'ORD. WT/DS363/17/Add.7
