  2008 the extensions of the transition period that the Committee had previously granted for calendar 
years 2003-2007.
6  With respect to three Members which had not yet provided the documentation

Grenadines), the Committee decided that the Chairm an would request these Members to provide such 
documentation by the end of November 2007 and that , following receipt of that documentation, the 
Committee would hold a special meeting in 2007 to deci de to continue the extensions of the transition 
period for the export subsidy programmes of these Members.  
XI. OTHER ITEMS DISCUSSED DURING THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW 
19. In a communication dated 15 March 2007, th e Europan Communities solicited information 
from Malaysia regarding certain schemes that inter alia  provided for tax incentives to Malaysian 
companies investing abroad through certain deductions from their local taxable income.7   
20. At the regular meeting held on 25 Octobe r 2007, the European Communities expressed 
concerns regarding tax incentives provided by the United States in respect of exports of "B99" 
biodiesel and urged the United States to amend this m easure so as to confine the availability of the tax 
advantage to domestic sales.  The United States indi cated that the measure at issue was currently the 
subject of legislative proposals under c onsideration in the US Congress.
