Follow-up Questions from Ja pan addressed to China
 
 
 
Addendum  
 
  The following communication, dated 22 July 2004, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Japan. 
_______________ 
 
 
  Questions are based on responses from China in IP/Q/CHN/1/Add.2, IP/Q2/CHN/1/Add.2, IP/Q3/CHN/1/Add.2,IP/Q4/CHN/1/Add.2. 
 
 
1. Regarding Answer 1, please let us know the deta iled schedule of establishing "Regulations on 
Royalty Criteria for Broadcasting and Television Organization" which has been listed on the 2004 
Legislation Agenda of the Office of the Legislative Affairs under the State Council.  Also, please 
explain the problems if they had been revealed in the process of consultation between the State 
Copyright Bureau and Chinese domestic br oadcasting and television organizations. 
2. Regarding Answer 2, we appreciate China's prog ress in considering the Judicial Interpretation 
on the application of laws for the criminal of IPR infringement. We have heard that the Chinese 
Government plans to hear public comments about this  interpretation later this year.  If the detailed 
procedure has been decided, please let us know. 
3. Regarding Answer 4, is it correct that the ev idence which a right holder submits for proving 
the fact that illegal behaviour has infringed public interest in order to initiate the administrative 
punishment procedure is the same as that stipulated in Article 12 of the Implementation of Copyright Law on Administrative punishment?  
It is very unclear whether a right holder can make use of administrative punishment procedure 
since the copyright office or court decides each case differently.  It seems necessary that the 
legislative body would establish the complementar y interpretation concerning what kind of act is 
regarded as "infringing public intere st".  As far as this issue is con cerned, please provide us with the 
opinion of the Chinese government.  Also, please tell us whether the Chinese Government plans to 
consider such an interpretation.

Question
Does BULOG control imports ofsoybean forcrushing? Does italsotrade incanola/rapeseed
products? Ifnot,doessome other entity trade inthelatter products? Given thatsoyaandcanola
arelargely substitutable asoilseed, doesIndonesia maintain apreference forsoya? Ifso,why?
Answer
Withrespect tosoybean, BULOG maintains itssolerights toimport soybean, andinexercising
itsrights, BULOG 'soperations mustbeconsistent withArticle XVII ofGATT 1994andArticle II.4
ofGATT 1994. Therefore, based onIndonesia 'sSchedule XXI, BULOG hastoensure thatdomestic
prices forsoybean donotexceed 30percentoftheworld price.
Soybeanmealisaproductofsoybeancrushingplants.WithinthecontextoftheURnegotiations,
Indonesia committed itself tophase outlocal content requirements within three years ofthe
implementation oftheWTO Agreement. However, Indonesia hasalready implemented aphasing out
ofthelocalcontent requirement asof1April 1996, inother words 21months ahead ofthecommitment.
BULOG doesnotcontrol imports ofcanola. Indonesia hasnospecific preference forsoya.
Canola could beasubstitute forsoya; however, thiswould depend onmarket forces.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Germany to contribute an additional 1 million euros to the Doha
Trust Fund
The German government on 16 December 2002 pledged an additional donation of 1 EUR million
(about CHF 1.45 million) over two years — 2005 and 2006 — to the WTO Doha Development
Agenda Global Trust Fund. This new donation brin gs the total of contributions pledged by Germany
to the Doha Trust Fund to CHF 4.15 million.
German Ambassador Walter Lewalter and WTO Dire ctor General Supachai Panitchpakdi met the
same day to sign an amendment of the existing memorandum of understanding between Germany
and the WTO.
“With this contribution, we would like to continue and to enhance our support for the Doha
Development Agenda,” Ambassador Lewalter said. “Pledging a donation covering the years until
2006 will help the WTO Secretariat to establish long-term planning and can contribute to build upefficient structures of technical cooperation. Trade-related capacity building is, in the view of
Germany, an effective means for economic progress of developing countries. As far as this support
is delivered in the framework of the WTO Doha Development Global Trust Fund, we will pay, dueto annual commitments, for instance this year a bit more than EUR 1 m illion and EUR 915.000
next year.”
“I thank Germany once again for its great generosity,” said Director-General Supachai
Panitchpakdi. “The Doha Trust Fund is essential to ensure that developing countries have adequate
means to build their capacity to participate actively in the new round of negotiations. Contributionslike Germany’s help us ensure a predictable and high quality trade-related technical assistance.
Developing country participation in the Doha Development Round is crucial because the potential
benefits of the Doha Round are enormous, especially in areas of particular interest to thesecountries.”
The Doha Development Agenda Global Trust F und was created following the WTO Ministerial
Conference in Doha, in November 2001, which launched a new round of negotiations.

United States.
_______________
Plant-Incorporated Protectants (Formerly Plant-Pe sticides), Supplemental Proposal;  Extension of
Comment Period
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to request from the public is
extending an existing comment period for a supplemental proposal appearing in the Federal Register
on 19 July 2001.  EPA issued the 19 July 2001 supplemental proposal (notified asG/SPS/N/USA/472) to solicit additional comment on the exemptions it proposed in 1994 for plant-
incorporated protectants.  Specifically, EPA solicits comment on two alternative regulatory
approaches to plant-incorporated protectants derived from plants sexually compatible with the
recipient plant and on proposed exemptions for plant-incorporated protectants that act by primarily
affecting the plant or are based on viral coat proteins.  EPA is also providing notice that it has placed
the report issued by the National Academy of Science (NAS) entitled Genetically Modified Plants:
Science and Regulation in the dockets for the rulemakings relating to certain proposals on plant-incorporated protectants under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).  The Agency anticipates this extension will
result in more in-depth detailed and thus more constructive comment.
Comments must be received on or before 19 September 2001.The full text of this addendum, including detail ed instructions for commenting, is available
from the address below.

COMMERCE ET INVESTISSEMENT
Atelier spécial pour les pays africains sur le commerce et
l'investissement
Les activités du Programme d'assistance technique de l'OMC sur le commerce et l'investissement
se poursuivent les 1er et 2 décembre 2002 avec un atelier spécial destiné à des fonctionnaires en
poste dans les capitales venant de 21 pays africains.  Cet atelier se déroule en anglais.  LeSecrétariat de l'OMC organisera un atelier similaire l'année prochaine à l'intention de
fonctionnaires en poste dans les capitales venant de pays africains qui utilisent le français comme
langue de travail à l'OMC.
L'atelier a été organisé par le Secrétariat de l'OMC en coopération avec la CNUCED et avec le
soutien du gouvernement japonais, par l'intermédiaire de l'Agence japonaise de coopération
internationale (JICA).
Des ateliers techniques de ce type ont lieu régulièrement tout au long de la période allant jusqu'à
la 5
ème session de la Conférence ministérielle à Cancún, afin de permettre aux Membres de l'OMC
et aux gouvernements ayant le statut d'observat eur de se préparer, dans un cadre informel, en
vue des débats au Groupe de travail des liens entre commerce et investissement.  Ces ateliers ont
pour but d'aider les pays en développement et les pays les moins avancés à mieux évaluer les
conséquences d'une coopération multilatérale plus étroite sur l'investissement pour leurs politiques
et leurs objectifs de développement.
La participation active de tous les pays en  développement est indispensable au succès du
programme de travail de Doha mais, en raison du manque de moyens, il est difficile, pour nombre
de ces pays, de participer aussi souvent et aussi intensément qu'ils le souhaiteraient au processus
préparatoire à Genève.  C'est pourquoi, avec le soutien de la JICA, des fonds ont été dégagés pour
cet atelier spécial, afin d'inviter, pour chaque pays Membre africain anglophone, un fonctionnaire
en poste dans la capitale à se rendre à Genè ve pendant quelques jours pour participer non
seulement à l'atelier mais aussi à la réunion du Groupe de travail qui aura lieu ensuite, les 3 et4 décembre.
Cette réunion du Groupe de travail sera la dernière de l'année, et sera l'occasion pour le Groupe
d'examiner les travaux qui ont été accomplis depuis  Doha et de discuter son rapport de fin d'année
au Conseil général de l'OMC.  En y participant, les fonctionnaires en poste dans les capitales des
pays africains auront la possibilité de faire le bilan des progrès réalisés  dans ce domaine depuis
Doha et de prendre part, avec d'autres Membres de l'OMC, à la définition du déroulement des
travaux futurs sur le commerce et l'investissement pendant la préparation de la Conférence
ministérielle de Cancún.
