 The following communication, received on 10 April 2007, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of the European Communities . 
  
_______________ 
  Materials and articles in contact with food (includi ng catering containers) and materials and articles in 
contact with drinking water. HS 3919, 3920, 3923 & 3924.  
Further to the adoption of Commission Directive 2007/19/EC of 30 March 2007 amending 
Directive 2002/72/EC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with 
food (Notified in G/SPS/N/EEC/298, dated 20 Oct ober 2006), and in order to facilitate trade , a 
transitional period has been established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 372/2007 of 2 April 2007 
laying down transitional migration limits for plastic isers in gaskets in lids intended to come into 
contact with foods  (OJ Num L92 of 3 April 2007, pages 9-10)  
The full text can be downloaded from the internet address indicated below

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site /es/oj/2007/l_092/l_092 20070403es00090012.pdf   
Background 
Commission Directive 2007/19/EC stipulates that EC member States have to adopt measures 
by 1 April 2008 that allow free circulation of gaskets in lids if they comply with a specific migration 
limit (SML) of 60 mg/kg food. Non-compliant gasket s in lids will be prohibited as from 1 June 2008.  
In the EC member States, the legislation cove ring gaskets can alternatively be regarded as a 
plastic part of a material or article  and thus covered by Directive 2002/72/EC or as a plastic coating 
on a metal substrate , and thus not covered by th is directive. This divergence may end barriers to trade. 
Moreover, recent data have been provided to the Commission showing that concentrations of 
epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO) in fatty food (i.e .: sauces and oils) can reach up to 1,150 mg/kg so 
exceeding the tolerable daily intake (TDI).  It a ppears then necessary to regulate the placing on the 
market of those products pending the implementation of Directive 2007/19/EC.  G/SPS/N/EEC/298/Add.2 
Page 2  
 
  The lids and foods that pose a significant risk are immediately excluded from the market but 
Commission Regulation No 372/2007 notified hereby lays down a transitional SML taking into 
account the average consumption of the foods concer ned and the opinion of the Scientific Panel AFC 
related to epoxidised soybean oil used in food contact materials availa ble from the link below: 
http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/science/afc/afc_opinions/1399.html
  
This is a trade facilitation measure so comment period does not apply.

Replies to the Questions Posed  by the European Communities
1 
Regarding the Notification of Mexico2 
   The following communication, dated 25 May 2007, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Mexico. 
 
_______________ 
 
 Question to Mexico
 (G/ADP/N/1/MEX/1/Suppl.4):  "Decree amending, supplementing and repealing 
various provisions of the Foreign Trade Act". 
 
 The Decree reduces in Article 53 the time period for responding to questionnaires to 
23 days counting from the date of receipt.  Furthermore, it determines that the questionnaire 
shall be deemed to be received five days from th e date of sending or transmitting it.  Could 
Mexico please explain how this provision is compatible with Article 6.1.1 and footnote 15 of the 
Anti-Dumping Agreement? 
Reply  
  Article 6.1.1 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement states that exporters or foreign producers 
receiving questionnaires shall be given at least 30 da ys for reply.  Footnote 15 to the Anti-Dumping 
Agreement requires that the time-limit be counted from the date of receipt of the questionnaire, 
deemed to be one week from the date on which it w as sent to the respondent or transmitted to the 
appropriate diplomatic representative of the exportin g Member or, in the case of a separate customs 
territory Member of the WTO, an official  representative of the exporting territory. 
 
 It should be noted that Article 3 of the Forei gn Trade Act, which applies to all the relevant 
Articles of this Act, establishes that "... where this  Act refers to time-limits in days these shall be 
understood to mean working days and where it refers  to months or years these shall be understood to 
mean calendar months or years".  
 Accordingly, the time-limit of 23 days men tioned in Article 53 of the Foreign Trade Act 
refers to 23 working days, a time-limit greater than  the 30 calendar days provided for in Article 6.1.1 
                                                     
 
1 G/ADP/Q1/MEX/18 - G/SCM/Q1/MEX/18. 
 
2 G/ADP/N/1/MEX/1/Suppl.4 - G/SCM/N/1/MEX/1/Suppl.3 – G/SG/N/1/MEX/1/Suppl.3.   G/ADP/Q1/MEX/21 
G/SCM/Q1/MEX/21 Page 2 
 
 
  of the Anti-Dumping Agreement.  In other words, Mexico grants a longer period than that provided 
for in Article 6.1.1 of the Agreement. 
 Similarly, by stating that the questionnaire is deemed to have been received five working days 
from the date on which it was sent to the respondent  or transmitted to the appropriate diplomatic 
representative, the Foreign Trade Act establishes a time-limit of a week or even longer in some cases, 
which is entirely consistent with the time-limi t provided for in footnote 15 to the Anti-Dumping 
Agreement.
