UNITED STATES – CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF OBLIGATIONS IN THE 
EC – HORMONES DISPUTE 
 
Communication from the Chairman of the Panel  
  
 The following communication, dated 23 January  2007, addressed to the Chairman of the 
Dispute Settlement Body (DSB), is circulated in accordance with Article 12.9 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU). 
 
_______________ 
  
 Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of 
Disputes (DSU) provides that the period in which a pa nel shall conduct its examination, from the date 
that the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the date the final 
report is issued to the parties to the dispute,  shall, as a general rule, not exceed six months. 
 
 Article 12.9 of the DSU provides that when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settle ment Body (DSB) in writing of the reasons for the 
delay together with an estimate of the pe riod within which it will issue its report. 
  The Panel in United States – Continued Suspension of  Obligations in the EC – Hormones 
Dispute  (WT/DS320) was established by the DSB on 17 February 2005 and composed on 
6 June 2005.    
 The Panel expected to issue its final report to the parties in the course of October 2006, as 
indicated in its communication to the DSB on 20 January 2006.  However, due to the complexity of the scientific issues involved and due to the difficu lties in scheduling the second open hearing of the 
Panel with the parties and the experts consulted by the Panel,  it was not possible to meet that time 
line.    The Panel estimates that it will issue its fina l report to the parties in the course of June 2007.

Question from the Delegation of the United States  
 
Goods  
  
1. In the answers to questions 2, 4, 11, 14 a nd 16 of the Questions and Answers document,  
the Parties note that liberalization commitments reflect the results of the negotiations between 
the Parties, taking into consideration each Partie s’ specific interests and concerns.  While this 
may be the case, we ask that Japan please explai n how its approach to tariff liberalization in its 
bilateral agreements is not, essentially, institutionalizing protectionism. 
 Japan considers that it is important to libera lize trade while considering specific interests and 
concerns of each Party given that each Party has di fferent sensitivity.  Under the JIEPA, even with 
this approach, Japan's liberalization commitments reaches substantial and hi gh-level, and Japan does 
not exclude any major sector from liberalization.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 
The WTO and the Netherlands laun ch new trainee programme for 
LDCs 
The WTO and the Kingdom of the Netherlands launched today (24 March 2005) a new Trainee 
Programme for LDCs and other low income, and small and vulnerable, economies. The objective is 
to give the officials from such countries the oppo rtunity to learn, while working for the WTO, about 
trade and development related matters and to develo p their knowledge of trade policy. After up to 
10 months of WTO internship, the trainees will go back to their ministries and contribute to the 
strengthening of their countries’ institutional capacity.  
 In the course of a brief signing ceremony, Amba ssador de Jong of the Netherlands and Director-
General Supachai Panitchpakdi expressed their common conviction that the new programme would 
be instrumental in bolstering the capacity of beneficiary countries to participate in the ongoing and intensifying negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda. 
 
After warmly welcoming the generous contribution from the Netherlands, which has been a staunch supporter of the WTO’s technical assistance programme, Dr Supachai expressed his 
confidence that direct WTO work experience would be an innovative way of building sustainable 
capacity for effective participation in the multilateral trading system.  
The Dutch Government is contributing a total of 2 million euros over four years for the financing of 
the internship programme. This is in addition to the existing Dutch contribution to the WTO Global Trust Fund for technical assistance. 
 
The aim of the Trainee Programme, which is scheduled to start on 1 April 2005, is to assist in the economic and social development of the countries concerned, in areas related to trade policy, by 
providing officials from beneficiary countries an opportunity to work on specific topics under the 
direction of staff members of the organization. Particular attention will be given to African countries. It is expected that up to 20 trainees may participate in the programme each year.
