TO ANTI-DUMPING PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING CHINA
COMMUNICATION FROM THE APPELLATE BODY
The following communication, dated 16 January 2017, from the Chair of the Appellate Body to the
Chair of the Dispute Settlement Body, is being circulated to Members.

I am writing to you pursuant to Article 17.5 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing
the Settlement of Disputes, which stipulates that, as a general rule, the Appellate Body will circulate
its Report no later than 60 days after the appellant has formally notified the Dispute Settlement Body
(the "DSB") of its decision to appeal. Article 17.5 states, furthermore, that when the Appellate Body
considers that it cannot provide its Report within 60 days, it shall inform the DSB in writing of the
reasons for the delay together with an estimate of the period within which it will submit its Report.

The People's Republic of China notified the DSB on 18 November 2016 of its decisio n to appeal
certain issues of law covered in the Panel Report and legal interpretations developed by the Panel in
this case, with the result that the 60 -day period expires on Tuesday, 17 January 2017. Due to the
time required to hear and decide this appeal, the Appellate Body is not able to circulate its Report by
this date.

The Appellate Body faces a substantial workload in 2017 , with several appeals proceeding in
parallel, and there is overlap in the composition of the Divisions hearing the different appeals. Due
to the scheduling issues arising from these circumstances, the number and complexity of the
issues raised in this and concurrent appellate proceedings, together with t he demands that these
concurrent appeals place on the WTO Secretariat's translation services, and shortage of staff in the
Appellate Body Secretariat, the Appellate Body will not be able to circulate its Report in this dispute
within the 90-day timeframe provided for in Article 17.5 of the DSU.

The circulation date of the Appellat e Body Report in this appeal will be communicated to the
participants and third participants after the oral hearing.
