 La communication ci-après, datée du 2 avril 2007, est distribuée à la demande de la 
délégation des États-Unis.  
_______________ 
 
 
 À la suite des réponses de l'Argentine au  questionnaire, datées du 15 septembre 2006 
(G/LIC/N/3/ARG/3), les États-Unis souhaitent poser les questions ci-après:  
- L'Argentine indique que "les licences d'impor tation de chaussures sont attribuées tant 
aux producteurs étrangers qu' aux producteurs nationaux".  Prière de décrire comment 
ces licences sont attribuées. 
- L'Argentine indique aussi qu'"il est délivré  des certificats qui doivent être présentés 
avec les autres documents exigés lors du dédouanement des marchandises".  Prière 
d'expliquer comment ces certificats sont délivrés.   
- En réponse à la question n° 4 de ce documen t, dans laquelle il est demandé si le 
régime de licences "vis[ait] à restreindre la quantité ou la  valeur des importations", 
l'Argentine a répondu que "le régime ne vis[ait] à restreindre ni la qua ntité ni la valeur 
des importations".  Toutefois, dans la réponse à la question n° 6.IV, l'Argentine a dit que "s'agissant des chaussures, les continge nts en vigueur [étaient] une conséquence 
de l'application d'une mesure de sauvegard e".  Y a-t-il actuellement en Argentine un 
contingent en vigueur applicable aux chaussu res?  Ce contingent est-il appliqué en 
restreignant le nombre de licences d'importation délivrées pour les chaussures?  Prière 
d'indiquer les mesures de sa uvegarde ou toute autre restriction quantitative appliquées 
conformément aux règles de l'OMC qui ju stifieraient les efforts déployés par 
l'Argentine pour limiter ces importations. 
- Dans la question n° 6.V, il est demandé à l'Argentine d'indiquer que ls sont les délais 
qui lui sont nécessaires pour examiner l es demandes;  l'Argentine répond que les 
certificats d'importation pour des produits  comme les chaussures et les jouets 
requièrent un "maximum [de] 30 jours échus ".  Cependant, les exportateurs des États-
Unis ont signalé que, dans la pratique, le délai d'examen était compris entre 60 et 90 
jours.  Prière d'indiquer comment l'Argentine examine les demandes de licences 
d'importation non automatiques pour faire en sorte que son régime soit conforme aux 
règles de l'OMC.

Supplement  
 
  The following communication, dated 4 November 2009, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of India.    
_______________ 
 
 
1. Precise description of the product involved 
 
 Front Axle, Beam, Steering Knuckle and Crankshaft classified under sub heading 
No. 73269099, 73261910, 73261990, 87085000, 87089900, 84831099, 84831091 and 84831092.   
 
2. Precise description of the determinations made 
 
 DG, Safeguards, the competent authority has recommended that the increase in import in the 
case of Crankshaft has been temporary in nature.  DG, Safeguards has also found that there is no 
sufficient evidence of causal link between the in creased import of the products under consideration 
and the market disruption of the domestic indus try.  Accordingly, the DG, Safeguards has not 
recommended any safeguard duty on import of Front Axle Beam of medium and heavy commercial 
vehicles, Steering Knuckles for Medium or heavy commercial vehicle and Crankshaft of Medium and 
Heavy commercial vehicles from People's Republic of China.   
 
 The findings were published in the Gazette of India on 23 September 2009.
