OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

[Docket No. 301–105]

Termination of Section 302

Investigation: Practices of the

Government of Turkey Regarding the

Imposition of a Discriminatory Tax on

Box Office Revenues

AGENCY: Office of the United States

Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice of termination and

monitoring.

SUMMARY: On June 12, 1996, the United

States Trade Representative (USTR)

initiated an investigation under section

302(b)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as

amended (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C.

2412(b)(1)), with respect to certain acts,

policies and practices of the

Government of Turkey that may result

in the discriminatory treatment of U.S.

films in Turkey. Following

consultations with the United States

under the auspices of the World Trade

Organization (WTO), Turkey agreed to

equalize any tax imposed on box office

receipts from the showing of domestic

and imported films. Having reached a

satisfactory resolution of the issues

under investigation, the USTR has

determined to terminate this section 302

investigation and monitor

implementation of the agreement under

section 306 of the Trade Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This investigation was

terminated on December 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Section 301 Committee,

Office of the United States Trade

Representative, Room 223, 600 17th

Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20508.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Stephen R. Fox, Deputy Director for

Intellectual Property (202) 395–6864, or

Geralyn Ritter, Assistant General

Counsel (202) 395–6800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

12, 1996, the USTR initiated an

investigation under section 302(b)(1) of

the Trade Act with respect to whether

certain laws and regulations of the

Government of Turkey affecting the

taxation of box office revenues

generated from the showing of foreignorigin films that may result in the

discriminatory treatment of U.S. films in

Turkey are actionable under section

301(a). See 61 FR 30646 of June 17,

1996. The investigation specifically

considered whether Turkey’s Law on

Municipal Revenues (Law No. 2464)

which imposes a 25% municipality tax

on box office revenues generated from

the showing of foreign films, but not the

revenue generated from the showing of

domestic films is inconsistent with

Turkey’s obligations under Article III of

the General Agreement on Tariffs and

Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), administered

by the World Trade Organization

(WTO). Pursuant to section 303(a) of the

Trade Act, the USTR requested

consultations with the Government of

Turkey under the procedures of the

WTO Understanding on Rules and

Procedures Governing the Settlement of

Disputes (DSU).

Resolution of Dispute

In consultations between the

Government of the United States and

the Government of Turkey on July 23,

1996 under the WTO DSU procedures,

Turkey agreed to equalize, as soon as

reasonably possible, any tax imposed in

Turkey on box office receipts from the

showing of domestic and imported

films. Based on these consultations,

Turkey and the United States notified

the WTO Dispute Settlement Body on

July 14, 1997 that they have agreed to

terminate consultations on this matter

and that the Untied States has formally

withdrawn this matter from further

attention under the provisions of the

DSU. On the basis of the measures

Turkey has agreed to undertake in order

to provide a satisfactory resolution to

the matter under investigation, the

USTR has decided to terminate this

section 302 investigation. Pursuant to

section 306 of the Trade Act, the USTR

will monitor Turkey’s implementation

of its obligations under Article III of the

GATT 1994 with respect to taxation of

box offices revenues generated by the

showing of domestic and imported

films.
