 The General Council, 
  Considering  that the Members of the WTO, by their Decisions of 13 December 1995, 
18 July 1996, 24 April 1997, 22 October 1997, 24 April 1998, 14 October 1998, 15 June 1999, 4 November 1999, 3 May 2000, 8 December 2000 and 8 May 2001
1 and acting pursuant to the 
provisions of paragraph 3 of Ar ticle IX of the WTO Agreement, suspended application of the 
provisions of Article II of the GATT 1994 until 30 April 2002, for the purpose of enabling the Members listed in the Annex to the said Decisi ons, including Argentina, to implement the 
recommended amendments to the Harmonized System nomenclature;  
 Considering  that, by their Decision of 8 May 2001, th e Members of the WTO also agreed that 
it would be the last time an extension of the HS96 waiver would be granted on a collective basis, but 
that this would not preclude Members from requesting waivers on an individual basis; 
  Considering  that, by their Decisions of 13 May 2002, 15 October 2002, 24 July 2003, 
20 October 2004 and 27 July 2005
2 and pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article IX of the 
WTO Agreement, the Members of the WTO suspended application of the provisions of Article II of 
the GATT 1994 until 30 April 2006, for the purpose of enabling Argentina to implement the recommended amendments to the Harmonized System nomenclature;   Noting  that Argentina has requested a waiver for the reasons set out in its request;
3 
 
 Considering  that Argentina would need more time to  proceed with consultations in the light 
of the reservations expressed by one Member;   Acting  pursuant to the provisions of paragra ph 3 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement; 
 
 Decides , in view of the exceptional circumstances, to suspend application of the provisions of 
Article II of the GATT 1994 until 30 April 2006, for the purpose of enabling Argentina to implement

with interested Members, pursuant to pa ragraphs 1 to 3 of Article XXVIII of the 
GATT 1994; 
  (ii) the negotiations and cons ultations mentioned above sha ll be completed no later than

 (iii) pending the entry into force of the re sults of the above-mentioned negotiations or

consider that adequate compensati on is not offered by Argentina.

(WT/DS184)  
 
 
 The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on 
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes . 
  On 23 August 2001, the Dispute Settlement B ody ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and 
rulings in United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Cert ain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan  
(WT/DS184).  At the following DSB meeting on 10 September 2001, the United States informed the 
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendati ons and rulings of the DSB in connection with 
this matter.     On 22 November 2002, the US Department of Co mmerce issued a new final determination in 
the hot-rolled steel anti-dumping duty investigation th at implements the recommendations and rulings 
of the DSB with respect to the calculation of anti-du mping margins in that investigation.  Details of 
this determination are provided in WT/DS184/15/Add.3.   Legislation that would implement the DSB's re commendations and rulings with respect to the 
US anti-dumping duty statute was introduced in th e last Congress.  The US Administration continues 
to support specific legislative amendments that  would implement the DSB's recommendations and 
rulings in this regard and is working with the new US Congress to pass amendments to this end.
