TÍTULO:  Normas Federales de Seguridad de los Ve hículos Automóviles – Sistemas de freno de aire 
ORGANISMO:  Administración Nacional de Segurid ad del Tráfico por Carretera (NHTSA) - DOT 
MEDIDA:  Norma definitiva RESUMEN:  En virtud del documento notificado, se acuerda carácter permanente a la disposición 
vigente por la que los remolques con sistemas antibloqueo de los frenos (ABS) deberán estar 
equipados con un indicador lumínico exterior de aver ía.  La disposición relativa al indicador lumínico, 
incluida en la Norma Federal de Seguridad de los Vehículos Automóviles relativa a los vehículos 
equipados con frenos de aire, originalmente debía extinguirse el 1º de marzo de 2009, pero su 
vigencia se amplió hasta el 1º de septiembre de 2009.  Se había establecido una fecha de extinción 
para esta prescripción dado el número creciente de  unidades tractoras de modelo posterior al 2001, 
que cuentan con un indicador lumínico de avería de l ABS del remolque en la cabina, y por ello la 
lámpara exterior del remolque es innecesaria.  Se establece el carácter permanente de esa 
prescripción, a la vista de que la finalidad adicional de seguridad se cumple gracias al indicador 
lumínico exterior incluidos los siguientes puntos:  no sólo advierte al conductor de una avería del 
ABS del remolque sino que, a diferencia de los i ndicadores instalados en la cabina, el indicador 
exterior señala cuál es el remolque (en el c aso de doble remolque) o la aplicación averiados, y 
también facilita la identificación de la avería de l ABS del remolque por parte de los inspectores 
federales y estatales y el personal de mantenimiento.   El procedimiento regulador notificado se llevó a 
cabo para responder a las solicitudes presentadas por la Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance . 
FECHAS:  Entrada en vigor el 31 de agosto de 2009.   Las peticiones de reconsideración se recibirán 
hasta el 9 de octubre de 2009.

Labeling; Declaration of Certifiable Color Additives  (7  pages, English)     
6. Description of content:  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend 
its regulations regarding the declaration of cer tified colour additives on the labels of animal 
food including animal feeds and pet foods. F DA is proposing this amendment in response to 
the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (the 1990 amendments), which amended 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (t he act) by requiring, among other things, the 
listing on food labels of the common or usual names of all colour additives required to be 
certified by FDA. An additional purpose of this  amendment is to make these regulations 
consistent with the regulations regarding the declaration of certified colour additives on the 
labels of human food. The proposed rule al so suggests appropriate terminology for the 
declaration of certification-exempt colour  additives on the labels of animal food.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the natu re of urgent problems where applicable:  
Protection of  animal life  
8. Relevant documents:   74 Federal Register (FR) 61068, 23 November 2009; Title 21 Code

COMMUNICATION FROM CUBA 
 
  The following communication, dated 5 June 2006, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Cuba. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
IMPROVEMENT AND CLARIFICATION OF ARTICLE V OF THE GATT:  
STRENGTHENING OF THE PRINCIPLES OF NON-DISCRIMINATION 
AND MOST-FAVOURED-NATION TREATMENT 
 
 1. In a communication of 19 September 2005 (T N/TF/W/64), Cuba submitted a proposal on the 
"strengthening of the principles of non-discrimin ation and most-favoured-nation treatment".  The 
purpose of that proposal is to reinforce the principl e of non-discrimination laid down in Article V, in 
order to prevent the implementation of trade laws th at restrict the free transit of goods and means of 
transport among Members on non-commercial gr ounds.  At present, the trade of many 
WTO Members is significantly affected in this way. 
2. Cuba agrees with the view of some Member s that submitting proposals to the Negotiating 
Group on no account means compromising legitimat e objectives of public order.  Members must 
therefore maintain the right to apply the exceptions  in GATT Articles XX and XI in an appropriate 
manner and on proper grounds, but may not r esort to them without a valid reason. 
3. Cuba endorses and submits to the Negotiating Group for consideration the following draft 
text, without prejudice to further discussions and communications on this or any other proposal. 
Proposed text
 
  "Members shall not apply discriminatory measures to goods in transit, or to vessels or other means of transport of other Members, for non-commerc ial reasons.  This does not exclude the right to 
resort to the exceptions already laid down in WT O Agreements, for valid reasons and provided that 
the measure concerned does not constitute a dis guised restriction on international trade."

TÍTULO:  Nanotubos multipared de carbono y nanotubos  de pared simple de carbono – Normas de 
nuevo uso significativo  ORGANISMO:  Agencia de Protección del Medio Ambiente (EPA)  
MEDIDA:  Norma definitiva 
 RESUMEN:  La EPA publica normas de nuevo uso signi ficativo, conforme al artículo 5(a)(2) de la 
Ley de Fiscalización de las Sustancias Tóxicas (TSCA) , relativas a dos sustancias químicas sujetas a 
la presentación de avisos previos de manufact uración.  Las dos sustancias se identifican 
genéricamente como nanotubos multipared de car bono (PMN P-08-177) y nanot ubos de pared simple 
de carbono (PMN P-08-328).  La medida establece que las personas interesadas en manufacturar, 
importar o procesar cualquiera de estas dos sustancias para una actividad considerada un nuevo uso significativo por la norma propuesta presentarán a la EPA el aviso pertinente al menos 90 días antes 
de iniciar la actividad de que se trate.  La EPA c onsidera que la medida es necesaria en vista de que 
estas sustancias químicas pueden ser peligrosas para la salud de las personas y para el medio 
ambiente.  El aviso obligatorio permitirá que la EPA evalúe el empleo previsto, y prohíba o limite esa 
actividad, si fuera necesar io, antes de su inicio. 
 FECHAS:  La norma definitiva entra en vigor el 18 de octubre de 2010.

DIRECTEUR GÉNÉRAL 
Supachai salue la décisi on de l'UE et des États-Unis au sujet du 
différend portant sur les aéronefs 
Le Directeur général, M. Supachai Panitchpakdi, a salué aujourd'hui la décision qui a été prise par 
l'Union européenne et les États-Unis de négocier en vue de trouver une solution bilatérale au 
différend qui les oppose en ce qui concerne les su bventions accordées pour les aéronefs, au lieu de 
poursuivre les affaires qu'ils avaient portées devant l'Organe de règlement des différends de l'OMC en octobre. 
 
"Le système de règlement des différends de l'OMC a fa it la preuve qu'il était très efficace lorsqu'il 
s'agissait de régler des différends ou de focali ser l'attention sur des désaccords commerciaux qui 
avaient déjà mis à mal les relations entre pays.  Toutefois, les ressources dont nous disposons ne 
sont pas illimitées et le grand retentissement qu'ont les affaires portées devant l'ORD peut parfois rendre leur règlement plus diffic ile.  Je félicite les deux parties d'avoir choisi la voie de la 
diplomatie commerciale plutôt que celle de l'affrontement", a-t-il dit.
