  The following communication, dated 26 November 2010, from the delegation of the European Union and the delegation of Japan to th e Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is 
circulated at the request of these delegations. 
 
_______________ 
 
  On 21 September 2010, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and rulings in the dispute European Communities and its Member States - Tariff Treatment of Certain 
Information Technology Products  (WT/DS376).  In its communication of 13 October 2010 
(WT/DS375/14, WT/DS376/14, WT/DS377/12), the European Union notified the DSB that it intends to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this dispute in a manner that respects its 
WTO obligations. The European Union also stated that it would need a reasonable period of time for 
implementation. The European Union subsequently recalled this notification at the meeting of the 
DSB held on 25 October 2010. 
  Article 21.3(c) of the Understanding on Rules and Proce dures Governing the Settlement of 
Disputes  ("DSU") provides that, in the absence of an agreement between the parties on a period of 
time, the reasonable period of time shall be determ ined "through binding arbitration within 90 days 
after the date of adoption of the recommendations and rulings".  
 
 In order to allow sufficient time for the parties to discuss a mutually ag reed period, Japan and 
the European Union (i) agree that, in the event an arbitration under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU is 
requested, it shall be completed no later than 60 days af ter the date of the appointment of an arbitrator, 
unless the arbitrator, following consultation with the pa rties, considers that additional time is required 
and (ii) hereby confirm that any award of the arbitr ator (including an award not made within 90 days 
after the date of adoption of the DSB recommendations  and rulings) shall be deemed to be an award 
of the arbitrator for the purposes of Article 21.3(c) of the DSU in determining the reasonable period of 
time for the European Union to implement th e recommendations and rulings of the DSB. 
 
 We request that you circulate this notification to the Members of the DSB.
