 El Departamento de Agricultura ha publica do la Orden Administrativa Nº 06, serie de 2007, 
por la que se levanta la prohibición temporal de importación de aves domésticas y aves salvajes y sus productos, incluidos carne de ave, aves de un dí a, huevos y semen, procedentes del Japón, impuesta 
en virtud de la Orden Administrativa Nº 02, serie de 2007, del Departamento de Agricultura, debido a 
la presencia en el Japón del serotipo H
5 del virus de la influenza aviar.  La Orden administrativa 06, 
serie de 2007, entró en vigor el 10 de mayo de 2007. 
  De acuerdo con el informe definitivo pr esentado a la Organización Mundial de Sanidad 
Animal (OIE) por el Ministerio de Agricultura, Silvicultura y Pesca del Japón, han transcurrido 90 días en los que no ha habido pruebas de la presencia de influenza aviar altamente 
patógena de declaración obligatoria, debido a la po lítica de sacrificio ejecutada el 13 de enero 
de 2007.  Según la evaluación de la  Oficina de la Producción Pecuaria de Filipinas, el riesgo de

Questions from the UNITED STATES
 
Regarding the New and Full Notification of THAILAND1 
   The following communication, dated 10 November  2006, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of the United States. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Development Plan for the Automotive Industry  
  According to public source information, it is  our understanding that Thailand's Ministry of 
Industry will soon request funding to implement a de velopment plan for the automotive industry.  One 
of the stated goals of this auto development plan  is to boost exports of replacement automotive parts 
through 2006.  To this end, the au to development plan proposes five projects, at least one of which is 
specifically designed to enhance th e competitiveness of the Thai auto parts sector.  This specific 
project - the auto parts export promotion project  -- would reportedly receive Baht 42 million in 
funding.  Another project envisions spending roughly Baht 230 million in government funds on 
developing new export markets for auto parts manuf acturers.  Another part of the government's 
strategy under this development pl an would be reportedly to "urge multi-national auto makers to use 
up to 100% of locally made auto parts."   
 It appears that aspects of this auto developm ent plan could constitute prohibited subsidies as 
defined by Article 3 of the Subsidies Agreement, i.e., subsidies contingent upon export performance 
or the use of domestic over imported goods.  Please provide further details regarding the proposed 
development plan for Thailand's auto industry an d how it will conform to Thailand’s obligations 
under Article 3 of the Subsidies Agreement.

SPECIAL SESSION OF THE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BODY 
 
Report by the Chairman, Ambassador David Spencer,  
to the General Council  
 
 1. On 1 August 2004, the General Council adopted  a decision instructing "all WTO bodies to 
which proposals in Category II have been referred to expeditiously complete the consideration of 
these proposals and report to the General Council, wi th clear recommendations for a decision, as soon 
as possible and no later than July  2005".  I am presenting this report further to that decision and 
following consultation on this matter with Members. 
2. The work of the Special Session over the last year has been primarily based on efforts by 
Members to work among themselves and develop areas of  convergence.  In this context, a number of 
contributions have been put forward by various  Members, both developed and developing, and 
discussed in the Special Session.  Although no specifi c proposal relating to special and differential 
treatment as such has been put forwar d recently in this context, several delegations have indicated that 
they have been working on issues relating to the participation of developing country Members in 
WTO dispute settlement.  This work is still ongoing.  
3. Against this background, as mentioned in my earlier report to the Trade Negotiations 
Committee, and as agreed by the Special Session, I propose that, in respect of the nine Category II 
proposals referred to the DSB Special Session, the Sp ecial Session report further at a later stage when 
our work is more advanced.
