Levée de l'interdiction temporaire de l'importati on d'animaux sensibles à la fièvre aphteuse et de 
leurs produits et sous-produits originaires du Japon 
 Le Département de l'agriculture (DA) a émis  l'Arrêté (MO) n° 13, série 2011, levant 
l'interdiction temporaire de l'importation d'anim aux sensibles à la fièvre aphteuse et de leurs 
produits et sous-produits originaires du Japon, qu'il avait établie au moyen de son Arrêté n° 14, 
série 2010, en raison de la présence déclarée de  foyers de fièvre aphteuse à Tsuno-cho Koyo-gun, 
dans la province de Miyazaki (Japon).  L'arrêté n°  13, série 2011 du DA a pris effet le 10 juin 2011. 
 En février 2011, l'Organisation mondiale de  la santé animale (OIE) a reconnu le Japon 
comme indemne de fièvre aphteuse sans vaccinati on, lors de la réunion de la Commission 
scientifique pour les maladies animales qui s'est te nue à Paris (France).  Sur la base de l'évaluation 
réalisée par le Bureau philippin des productions animales (BAI), le ri sque de contamination 
découlant de l'importation d'animaux sensibles à la fièvre aphteuse et de leurs produits en 
provenance du Japon est négligeable.

EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES – CONDITIONS FOR THE GRANTING 
OF TARIFF PREFERENCES TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 
 
Status Report by the European Communities
 
 
 
 The following communication, dated 7 April 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.

THE SECOND REVIEW OF THE OPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION  
OF THE SPS AGREEMENT 
 
Work Programme
 
 
Submission by New Zealand  
  
 The following communication, received on 22 November 2005, is being circulated at the 
request of the Delegation of New Zealand.  
_______________ 
  
 
1. New Zealand considers that the Committee should give high priority to discussing the distinct 
yet complementary roles of the Committee and the relevant international standard-setting bodies 
(ISSBs) with a view to avoiding overlaps and unnecessary duplication of efforts.  This is a 
crosscutting issue which has particular relevance to  other matters currently under discussion within 
the Committee including with regard to regionalization. 
2. It is New Zealand’s view that the Committee s hould refer matters relating to scientific and 
technical matters pertaining to the practical a pplication of the Agreement (in particular the 
development, implementation and harmonization with international standards, recommendations or 
guidelines) to the relevant ISSBs, which have th e necessary technical expertise and experience to 
consider them, in order to ensure that unnecessary dup lication of effort is avoided.  The ISSBs then 
can, if necessary, report back to  the Committee with appropriate advice and/or recommendations of 
further work required. 
3. We see that articulation by the ISSBs of their respective mandates, including their interest in 
and ability to develop procedural guidelines, woul d be useful for Members, as would discussions 
amongst the Secretariats of Codex, OIE and IPPC and the SPS Committee to clarify their roles in the 
administration of the SPS Agreement.
