Recourse by the European Communities to Article 22.2 of the DSU
The following communication, dated 7 January 2002, from the Permanent Delegation of the
European Commission to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to
Article 22.2 of the DSU.
The European Communities and their Member States (hereafter "the EC") request that a
special meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body be held on 18 January 2002 in order to consider the
following agenda item:
United States – Section 110(5) of the US Copyright Act : Recourse by the EC to
Article 22.2 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of
Disputes
The Panel in this dispute found that Section 110(5)(B) of the United States Copyright Act
violates Articles 11bis(1)(iii) and 11(1)(ii) of the Berne Convention (1971) as incorporated into the
TRIPS Agreement by Article 9.1 of that Agreemen t. On 27 July 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body
(the DSB) adopted the Panel report. The DSB recommendations and rulings include the
recommendation that the United States bring its Copyright Act in conformity with the provisions of
the TRIPS Agreement.
Arbitration under Article 21.3(c) of the Di spute Settlement Understanding (the DSU)
subsequently determined that the "reasonable period of time" for the United States to implement the
DSB’s recommendations and rulings would expire on 26 July 2001. Following a US request and in
order to facilitate negotiations between the parties, the Dispute Settlement Body decided to extend the
reasonable period of time until 31 December 2001 or to the date on which the current session of the
US Congress adjourns, whichever earlier. The United States has failed to implement the
recommendations and rulings of the Dispute Settlement Body with respect to its Copyright Act by that
date, and no mutually acceptable arrangement has yet been made. Therefore, the EC is entitled to
request authorization from the DSB to suspend conc essions or other obligations under Article 22.2 of
the DSU.
Hereby, the EC requests the authorization of the DSB to suspend its obligations under the
TRIPS Agreement in order to permit the levying of a special fee from US nationals in connection with
border measures concerning copyright goods.
The level of EC benefits which are nullified or impaired as a result of Section 110(5)(B) of
the US Copyright Act has been determined through arbitration under Article 25 of the DSU. The
amount so determined is €1,219,900. In accordance with Article 22.4 of the DSU, the EC will fix the
amount of the special fee referred to above so as to ensure that the level of affected US benefits will

not exceed the level of EC benefits nullified or impaired as a result of the WTO-inconsistent
provisions of the US Copyright Act.

Request by the European Communities and their member States
for Arbitration under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU
The following communication, dated 23 October 2000, from the Permanent Delegation of the
European Commission to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of
that delegation.
The DSB has adopted at its meeting of 27 July 2000 the recommendations made in the report
of the Panel made in the case referred to above.
At the meeting of the DSB, held on 1 September 2000, the United States informed the DSB of
its intentions in respect of implementation of the recommendations of the DSB.
In the meantime, extensive discussions between the parties to the dispute have taken place in
relation to the "reasonable period of time", but no mutually satisfactory solution as to the "reasonable
period of time" for implementation of the recommendations of the DSB has been found to date.
Therefore, the European Communities request that the "reasonable period of time" for
compliance be determined by means of binding arbitration as provided for in Article 21(3)(c) DSU.
The European Communities are fully prepared to hold discussions for the prompt
appointment of the arbitrator.
