DOMINICA 
 
• Fiscal Incentives Programme 
 1. In the case of each of the programmes, ple ase provide the most up-to-date information 
available regarding the number of beneficiary en terprises classified according to industrial sector. 
2. Please explain why, under the above progra mmes, which have been in place for over 
ten years, it is still not possible to dismantle the prohibited subsidies. 
3. The basis for requesting the extension is that Dominica is a small, vulnerable economy which 
suffers from the combined effect of diseconomies of scale caused by the small size of its economy and 
administration and by its physical isolation.  If the above distorting factors are not brought under control before 2018, would there be a request for a new extension for the phasing out of the prohibited 
subsidies?  Please explain why these characteristics of Dominica's economy prevent the country from 
complying fully and satisfactorily with WTO export subsidy disciplines. 
4. Please explain why the situation giving rise to the request for extension requires the granting 
of prohibited subsidies until the year 2018, rather than an earlier date.

_______________  
  
2,4-D, bensulida, DCPA, desmedifam, dimetoato,  fenamifos, forato, setoxidim, terbufos y 
tetraclorvinfos – Medidas de tolerancia propuestas  
 
Sobre la base de los datos de campo recibi dos, que indican residuos de desmedifam de 
hasta 0,05 ppm en el interior o en la superfici e de raíz de remolacha azucarera y una media 
de 1,38 ppm (desviación típica de 2,88 ppm) en el in terior o en la superficie de hojas de remolacha 
azucarera, la Agencia determina que los niveles de  tolerancia deben reducirse de 0,2 ppm a 0,1 ppm 
en el interior o en la superficie de raíz de re molacha azucarera, y deben incrementarse de 0,2 ppm 
a 5,0 ppm en el interior o en la superficie de hojas de remolacha azucarera.  Por lo tanto, la EPA 
propone la revisión de los niveles de tolerancia en  la remolacha azucarera (raíz y hojas) reemplazando 
el valor de 0,2 ppm vigente por:  raíz de remo lacha azucarera:  0,1 ppm y hojas de remolacha 
azucarera:  5,0 ppm en 40 CFR 180.353(a) para los re siduos del herbicida desmedifam (carbanilato de 
etil-m-hidroxicarbanilato).  La Agencia ha determ inado que estos nuevos nive les de tolerancia son 
seguros, es decir, que existe una certeza razonable de que la exposición agregada a los residuos del 
plaguicida químico no ocasione ningún perjuicio.  
Las observaciones deben recibirse a más tardar el 7 de abril de 2008, identificadas con el 
número de expediente ( docket ) EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0674.

_______________ 
 
 
 En vertu de l'article 12:1 a) de l'Accord  de l'OMC sur les sauvegardes, la République 
d'Indonésie notifie par la présente au Comité des sauvegardes que son autorité compétente a ouvert 
une enquête en matière de sauvegardes au sujet des importations de récipients alimentaires à base de 
feuilles et bandes minces en aluminium, et de plat eaux en aluminium avec couvercle simple, relevant 
de la position 7612.90.90.00 du SH. 
 
1. Date à laquelle l'enquête a été ouverte 
 
 L'enquête a été ouverte le 19 janvier 2010.  
2. Produit faisant l'objet de l'enquête 
 
 Récipients alimentaires à base de feuill es et bandes minces en aluminium/plateaux en 
aluminium avec couvercle simple releva nt de la position 7612.90.90.00 du SH. 
 
3. Raisons pour lesquelles l'enquête a été ouverte 
 
 L'enquête a été ouverte à la suite de l'évaluati on d'une demande d'application d'une mesure de 
sauvegarde présentée par la branche de production na tionale de récipients alimentaires à base de 
feuilles et bandes minces en aluminium et de plat eaux en aluminium avec couvercle simple relevant 
de la position 7612.90.90.00 du SH.  Le requérant assure environ 100 pour cen t de la production des 
produits visés en Indonésie. 
  Une évaluation des données a montré que les im portations s'étaient notablement accrues, 
passant de 457 175 kg en 2006 à 2 886  789 kg en 2008.  En conséque nce, la part de marché des 
branches de production nationales et les ventes su r le marché intérieur ont fortement diminué, 
entraînant d'importantes pertes financières.
