FOR RADIONUCLIDES
COMMUNICATION FROM THE APPELLATE BODY
The following communication, dated 8 June 2018 , 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 (DSU), 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 (DSB) of its decision to appeal. Article 17.5 also states 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.

Korea notified the DSB on 9 April 2018 of its decision 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 Friday, 8 June 2018. 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 ly enhanced workload in 2018 , with several appeals
proceeding in parallel, and there is overlap in the composition of the Divisions hearing the different
appeals owing to the current vacancies on the Appellate Body. 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 the 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 Appella te Body Report in this appeal will be communicated to the
participants and third participants after the oral hearing.

REQUEST TO JOIN CONSULTATIONS
Communication from the European Union
The following communication, dated 16 July 2015, fr om the delegation of the European Union to
the delegation of Brazil, the delegation of Japa n and to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement
Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.

Following the request for consultations of Japan that was circulated to the WTO Members on
9 July 2015 (), and pursuant to paragraph 11 of Article 4 of the Understanding on
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU), the European Union hereby
notifies the Government of Brazil, the Government of Japan and the Dispute Settlement Body of its
desire to join the consultations requested by Japan in DS497, in light of its substantial trade
interest in this dispute.
The European Union's substantial trade interest to participate in these consultations is justified by
the fact that almost a quarter of EU exports to the Brazilian market are affected by the measures
in dispute. Brazil's automobiles, informatio n and communication technology and automation
products compete in the world's market with European Union products. Moreover, this dispute
closely resembles the dispute launched by the European Union on 19 December 2013, Brazil —
Certain Measures Concerning Taxation and Charges (DS472) which attests to the substantial trade
interest of the European Union to participate in these consultations.
The European Union looks forward to being informed of the date and venue of the consultations.

BY BRAZIL
The following communication, dated 11 November 2019 , from the delegation of Brazil to the
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.

Brazil submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules and
Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes.

On 11 January 2019, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and rulings
in Brazil – Certain Measures Concerning Taxation and Charges (WT/DS472 and WT/DS497). At the
following DSB meeting, Brazil informed the DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations
and rulings of the DSB in connection with this matter.

Brazil and the Japan agreed that the reasonable period of time ("RPT") for Brazil to implement the
recommendations and rulings of the DSB would end on 31 December 2019, with the exception of
the measures found to be prohibited subsidies, for which Brazil agreed to bring its measures into
compliance on 21 June 2019.

Three programmes have expired before the adoption of the reports of the Panel and of the Appellate
Body: INOVAR-AUTO expired on 31 December 2017, pursuant to Law 12,715/2012; PATVD expired
on 22 January 2017, pursuant to Law 11,484/2007; and Digital Inclusion expired on 30 December
2015, pursuant to Law 13,241/2015. These programmes have expired and have not been renewed.
Therefore, there are no further obligations with regard to recommendations made in relation to those

of the Economy and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued Interministerial Implementing
Order SEPEC/ME/MCTIC Nº 1, revoking Implementing Orders found to be inconsistent with the
Covered Agreements. Furthermore, several Implementing Orders have been enacted in substitution
to those found to be inconsistent in the rulings of the reports. These new Implementing Orders do
not reference other PPBs and are consistent with Brazil’s obligations under the WTO.

With relation to the fin dings on the Informatics and PADIS programmes, the Government of Brazil
is preparing to enact legislation with consultations with all interested stakeholders in order to amend
the respective laws so as to bring those measures into conformity within the agreed RPT.
