OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

[Docket No. WTO/D–17]

WTO Dispute Settlement Proceeding

Regarding Certain Indonesian

Measures Affecting the Automobile

Industry

AGENCY: Office of the United States

Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 127(b)(1)

of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA) (19 U.S.C. 3537(b)(1)), the

Office of the United States Trade

Representative (USTR) is providing

notice that, at the request of the United

States, a dispute settlement panel has

been established under the Agreement

Establishing the World Trade

Organization (WTO), to examine certain

Indonesian measures affecting the

automobile industry. More specifically,

in this dispute the United States alleges

that the Indonesian measures in

question are inconsistent with several

WTO agreements, including Articles I:1,

III:2, and III:7 of the General Agreement

on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994);

Article 2 of the Agreement on Traderelated Investment Measures (TRIMs

Agreements); Articles 3, 20 and 65 of

the Agreement on Trade-Related

Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights

(TRIPs Agreement); and Article 28.2 of

the Agreement on Subsidies and

Countervailing Measures (SCM

Agreement); In addition, the United

States alleges that the measures in

question constitute subsidies that cause

‘‘serious prejudice’’ to the interests of

the United States in view of Articles 6

and 27 of the SCM Agreement. USTR

also invites written comments from the

public concerning the issues raised in

the dispute.

DATES: Although USTR will accept any

comments received during the course of

the dispute settlement proceedings,

comments should be submitted on or

before October 3, 1997, to be assured of

timely consideration by USTR in

preparing its first written submission to

the panel.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be

submitted to Ileana Falticeni, Office of

Monitoring and Enforcement, Room

501, Attn: Indonesia Automobile

Industry Dispute, Office of the U.S.

Trade Representative, 600 17th Street,

N.W., Washington, DC 20508.

Counsel, (202) 395–3582, or Mary

Latimer, Office of Asia & the Pacific,

(202) 395–4755.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

12, 1997, the United States requested

the establishment of a WTO dispute

settlement panel to examine whether

certain Indonesian measures affecting

the automobile industry are inconsistent

with Indonesia’s obligations under

several WTO agreements, and whether

such measures constitute subsidies that

cause serious prejudice to the interests

of the United States under the SCM

Agreement. Previously, on April 17,

1997 and May 12, 1997, Japan and the

European Communities (EC),

respectively, had requested the

establishment of a panel regarding some

of the same measures, making claims

that were similar to, but narrower in

scope than, those made by the United

States. On June 12, 1997, the WTO

Dispute Settlement Body (DSB)

established a panel to examine the

complaints of Japan and the EC. On July

30, 1997, the DSB established a panel to

examine the U.S. complaint, and

decided to consolidate the U.S. panel

with the Japan/EC panel established

earlier. Under normal circumstances,

the panel, which will hold its meetings

in Geneva, Switzerland, would be

expected to issue a report detailing its

findings and recommendations within

twelve months after it is established.

Major Issues Raised by the United

States and Legal Basis of Complaint

In 1993, Indonesia adopted a system

of incentives for manufacturers of motor

vehicles and parts in the form of duty

reductions on imports of certain

products and tax reductions on the sale

of motor vehicles. These incentives are

conditional on compliance with local

content requirements with respect to

inputs. In February, 1996, Indonesia

expanded this system of incentives to

provide additional tax and tariff

incentives designed to promote a

‘‘national car’’ that was produced by an

Indonesian company, carried a unique

Indonesian trademark, and had a

gradually-increasing percentage of local

content over the ensuing three years.

Indonesia made a modification to this

program in June, 1996, when it
