ARTICLE XXIV:6 NEGOTIATIONS  
 
Enlargement of the European Union
 
 
Communication from the European Communities 
 
Addendum  
   The following communication, dated 16 October 2009, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of the European Communities. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
In connection with the enlargement of the European Communities on 1 January 2007, and in 
view of ensuring that Members reserve thei r rights pending the communication to the WTO 
Secretariat of the agreements reached in the contex t of Article XXIV:6 (GATT), the EC believes that 
it is desirable to provide for a further extension of 6 months, i.e. until 1 July 2010.  
 As a consequence, and in continuation of the EC’s notification of 28 September 2006 
concerning the accession to the European Union of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania on 
1
 January 2007, the European Communities wishes here by to inform that the EC will not assert that 
WTO Members who have submitted a claim pursuan t to Article XXIV:6 of GATT 1994 are precluded 
from withdrawing substantially equivalent c oncessions under Article XXVIII:3 of GATT 1994 
because this withdrawal occurs later than six m onths after the EC’s withdrawal of concessions, 
provided that the claiming WTO Member withdraws concessions no later than  42 months after the 
EC's modification of concessions. 
 We should be grateful if you would circulat e this communication to Members and put this 
item on the agenda of the next Council for Trade in Goods.

Paragraph 31, last sentence should read:  
 
31. The representative of Japan indicated that th e BSE issue was a challenge equally shared by 
exporters and importers.  Despite these difficulties,  Japan had addressed the US beef issue as one of 
the most important policy agenda items for the Jap anese government.  He recalled that in October 
2004, Japan and the United States had agreed on a fra mework to resume the two-way trade in beef, 
subject to their respective domestic approval processes including deliberation by their food safety 
commissions.  The Japanese Food Safety Commission (FSC), an independent risk assessment entity, 
was now conducting this risk assessment on domest ic BSE measures and after its completion, based 
on the conclusions of the assessment, risk manage ment entities would ask FSC  for a risk assessment 
regarding import conditions for US beef.

temporaire du différend, qui a été notifié à l'ORD le 23 juin 2003.  Cet arrange ment temporaire portait 
sur la période allant jusqu'au 20 décembre 2004.   L'Administration des États-Unis collabore étroite ment avec l'actuel Congrès des États-Unis et 
continuera de s'entretenir avec les Communaut és européennes afin d'arriver à une solution 
mutuellement satisfaisante de la question.
