States Trade Representative (‘‘USTR’’) is

2010, the United States requested

Republic of China (‘‘China’’) under the

Agreement’’) concerning issues relating 

to countervailing and antidumping 

duties imposed by China on imports 

from the United States of grain oriented 

flat-rolled electrical steel. That request 

may be found at http://www.wto.org 

contained in a document designated as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USTR is 

providing notice that consultations have 

been requested pursuant to the WTO 

Understanding on Rules and Procedures 

Governing the Settlement of Disputes 

(‘‘DSU’’). If such consultations should 

fail to resolve the matter and a dispute 

settlement panel is established pursuant 

to the DSU, such panel, which would 

hold its meetings in Geneva, 

Switzerland, would be expected to issue 

a report on its findings and 

recommendations within nine months 

after it is established. 

Major Issues Raised by the United 

States 

On September 15, 2010, the United 

States requested consultations with 

China concerning the imposition of 

countervailing and antidumping duties 

on grain oriented flat-rolled electrical 

steel (‘‘GOES’’) exported from the United 

States. In June of 2009, China initiated 

separate countervailing and 

antidumping duty investigations on 

GOES exported from the United States. 

In April of 2010, China issued final 

determinations of subsidization, 

dumping, and injury, along with a 

notice of the imposition of 

countervailing and antidumping duties. 

China has obligations under the 

Agreement on Subsidies and 

Countervailing Measures (the ‘‘SCM 

Agreement’’), the Agreement on 

Implementation of Article VI of the 

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 

1994 (the ‘‘AD Agreement’’), and the 

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 

1994 (‘‘GATT 1994’’) regarding the 

imposition of countervailing and 

antidumping duties on imports. In the 

course of its countervailing and 

antidumping investigations regarding 

GOES, China appears to have acted 

inconsistently with various obligations 

of the SCM Agreement, the AD 

Agreement, and the GATT 1994. 

Actions apparently inconsistent with 

China’s obligations include initiation of 

the investigations without sufficient 

evidence, failure to objectively examine 

the evidence, failure to disclose 

essential facts underlying its 

conclusions, and failure to provide an 

adequate explanation of its calculations 

and legal conclusions. 

In particular, in the request for 

consultations, the United States states 

that China’s countervailing and antidumping duties on GOES from the 

United States appear to be inconsistent 

with the following provisions of the 

SCM Agreement, the AD Agreement, 

and the GATT 1994: 

1. Articles 10 and 19 of the SCM 

Agreement, because China improperly 

determined that government purchases 

under U.S. Buy American Laws 

conferred a ‘‘benefit.’’ 

2. Article 12.8 of the SCM Agreement, 

because China failed to disclose the 

‘‘essential facts’’ underlying its 

determinations. 

3. Article 12.7 of the SCM Agreement, 

because China improperly based its 

determinations on the facts available. 

4. Article 22.3 of the SCM Agreement, 

because China failed to provide in 

sufficient detail the findings and 

conclusions it reached on all issues of 

fact and law it considered material. 

5. Article 22.5 of the SCM Agreement 

because China failed to make available 

all relevant information on the matters 

of fact and law and reasons which have 

led to the imposition of final measures. 

6. Article 11.2 of the SCM Agreement 

because: (a) The application for a 

countervailing duty investigation failed 

to contain information reasonably 

available to the applicant regarding the 

existence of a financial contribution, a 

benefit, specificity, injury and 

causation; and (b) there was not 

sufficient evidence in the application to 

justify the initiation of an investigation. 

7. Article 11.3 of the SCM Agreement 

because China failed to review 

appropriately the accuracy and 

adequacy of the evidence provided in 

the application. 

8. Articles 12.3 and 12.4.1 of the SCM 

Agreement, because China failed to 

provide, or require the applicant to 

provide, adequate non-confidential 

summaries of allegedly confidential 

information. 

9. Article 22.2(iii) of the SCM 

Agreement, because China included in 

its countervailing duty investigation the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (‘‘Recovery Act’’) and laws 

of the various U.S. states dealing with 

the government purchase of goods. 

10. Articles 15.1, 15.2, 15.5, 12.8, of 

the SCM Agreement, and Articles 3.1, 

3.2, 3.5, 6.9 and 12.2 of the AD 

Agreement, because: (a) China’s analysis 

of the effect of imports under 

investigation and alleged causal link 

was not based upon an objective 

examination on the basis of positive 

evidence; (b) China failed to provide in 

sufficient detail the findings and 

conclusions reached on all issues of fact 

and law it considered material; and (c) 

China failed to disclose the ‘‘essential 

facts’’ underlying its determinations. 

11. Article 10 of the SCM Agreement 

as a consequence of the breaches of the 

SCM Agreement described above. 

12. Article 1 of the AD Agreement as 

a consequence of the breaches of the AD 

Agreement described above. 

13. Article VI of the GATT 1994.
