INFORMATION NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL  
  
WTO Public Forum  
 
"How Can the WTO Help Harness Globalization?" 
 
4 – 5 October 2007  
 
 
 Over the years, the WTO Public Forum has b ecome one of the most important platforms for 
dialogue amongst the stakeholders of the multilateral trading system. It is now a significant feature of 
the international calendar. The preparations for the 2007 Forum start at a time when the Doha 
negotiations are gathering momentum, but the benefi ts of globalization are challenged both North and 
South, and concerns are growing over the impact of globalization on the environment - all this as the multilateral trading system celebrates its 60
th Anniversary.  
 
 This year's Forum – "How Can the WTO Help Harness Globalization?" – is aimed at 
stimulating a frank debate on the role the WTO can pl ay in using trade as an engine of development, 
and on how it can contribute to a better distribution of the benefits of trade in today's globalized 
economy.  The Forum will address the tools that the WTO requires to help harness globalization, and 
the need for cooperation amongst different intern ational organizations.  This dialogue can but 
strengthen the foundations of the Doha Development Agenda and th e multilateral trading system.  
  As was the case in previous years, the 2007 Forum requires your active support and engagement.  I therefore urge you to reserve the above dates in your calendars. Information on the 
programme, speakers and other arrangements will be provided to you in the coming months.  
 
 Your participation will, no doubt, make this a meaningful and successful event.

INTITULÉ:  Évaluation de la tolé rance aux dommages et de la fatigue des structures composites des 
giravions et évaluation de la tolérance aux domma ges et de la fatigue des structures métalliques 
 ORGANISME:  Administration fédérale de l'av iation (FAA), Département des transports (DOT) 
 
ACTION:  Règle finale;  correction 
 RÉSUMÉ:  L'Administration fédérale de l'av iation (FAA) corrige deux règles finales:  Damage 
Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation for Composite Rotorcraft Structures (Évalution de la tolérance aux 
dommages et de la fatigue d es structures composites des giravions) (76 FR 74655), publiée le 
1
er décembre 2011 et Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation for Metallic Structures  (Évaluation 
de la tolérance aux dommages et de la fatigue d es structures métalliques) (76 FR 75435), publiée le 
2 décembre 2011.  S'agissant des structures composites des giravions, la FAA a modifié sa réglementation afin d'exiger une évaluation de la fatigue et de la force résiduelle statique des 
structures composites des giravions au moyen d'une évaluation de la tolérance aux dommages, ou une 
évaluation de la fatigue si le requérant étab lit qu'il est impossible d'évaluer la tolérance aux 
dommages.  S'agissant des structures métalliques, la  FAA a modifié sa réglementation afin de tenir 
compte des avancées technologiques destinées à réduire la  fatigue des structures métalliques.  Il s'agit 
d'accroître le niveau de sécurité et d'éviter,  ou de réduire, la po ssibilité d'une défaillance 
catastrophique d'une structure métallique pour cause de fatigue.  Le document notifié rectifie des 
erreurs figurant dans le préambule de ces deux règl es par l'inclusion d'une mention selon laquelle les 
parties concernées ne sont pas tenues de satisfair e aux exigences en matière de collecte de données 
avant l'approbation de ces collectes par le Bur eau de la gestion et du budget (OMB).

UNITED STATES – CONTINUED DUMPING AND 
SUBSIDY OFFSET ACT OF 2000 
 
Status Report by the United States
 
 
Addendum  
   The following communication, dated 7 July 2005, from the delegation of the United States to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is ci rculated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Status Report Regarding Implementation of the DSB Recommendations and Rulings
 
in the Disputes United States – Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000  
(WT/DS217 and WT/DS234)  
   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 27 January 2003, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and 
rulings in United States – Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000  (WT/DS217 and 
WT/DS234).  At the same DSB meeting, the United States informed the DSB of its intention to 
implement the recommendations and rulings of  the DSB in connection with this matter. 
 
 In the previous US Congress, on 19 June 2003, legislation that would bring the Continued 
Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 into conformity with US obligations under the 
Anti-Dumping Agreement, the Subsidies Agreemen t and the GATT 1994 was introduced in the US 
Senate (S. 1299).  On 10 March 2004, legislati on that would repeal the Continued Dumping and 
Subsidy Offset Act was introduced in the US House of Representatives (H.R. 3933). 
 
 On 7 February 2005, the US Administration proposed repeal of the CDSOA in its budget proposal for fiscal year 2006.  On 3 March 2005, legislation that would repeal the Continued 
Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act was introduced in  the US House of Representatives (H.R. 1121).  
That bill has been referred to th e Committee on Ways and Means. 
 
 The US Administration will work with the current Congress to enact legislation, and will continue to confer with the complaining parties in these disputes, in order to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of this matter.

Animal by-products and produc ts derived therefrom not intended for human consumption
 
 
 Regulation (EC) No.1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 
3 October 2002 laying down health rules con cerning animal by-products not intended for human 
consumption (Official Journal  L273, 10/10/2002 pp.1-95 ) notified in G/SPS/N/EEC/103 
(24 November 2000) set conditions to ensure that th e products imported from a third country are of a 
hygiene standard equal, or equivalent  to, the standards applied by the EC and to this aim it introduced 
a system of approval for the third countries and their establishments, an EC inspection (or audit) 
procedure, and model health certificates, which must accompany the imported products.  This 
regulation lays down inter alia  the rules for the importation, placing on the market and export of 
materials of animal origin that are intended fo r the manufacturing of technical products such as 
cosmetics , medicinal products  and medical devices .  As a general rule, it provides that only safe 
animal by-products may be used as starting materi als for the manufacturing of cosmetics, medicinal 
products and medical devices.  Animal by-products mu st comply with specific health requirements;  
inter alia  they must: 
(a) come from safe animal carcases that have  undergone ante and post mortem veterinary 
inspections and found to be fit, as a result of such inspections, for human consumption;  and 
(b) have been treated to standards involving heat to destroy possible biological risks. 
A Consolidated version (May 2003) is available in: 
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/lex/LexUriServ/s ite/en/consleg/2002/R/ 02002R1774-20050315-en.pdf . 
 Now, in document SANCO/2909/2004 Rev.6 the EC notifies a draft Commission Regulation 
implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of th e European Parliament and of the Council as 
regards the importation and transit of certain in termediate products derived from Category 3 
material intended for technical uses in medica l devices and laboratory reagents and amending that 
Regulation .  This proposal introduces proportionate health requirements and adapts them to the 
delicate nature of "intermediate products", whic h are used in the medical devices and laboratory 
reagents industry. 
Proposed date of adoption:   July 2006 
Proposed date of application:   November 2006 
Final date for comments:  60 days from date of notification
