COMMUNICATION FROM THE PANEL
The following communication, dated 8 March 2024, was received from the Chairperson of the Panel
with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).

Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes
(DSU) provides that the period in which a panel sha ll conduct its examination, from the date that
the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the date the final
report is issued to the parties to the dispute, shall, as a general rule, not exceed six months.
Article 12.9 of the DSU provides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within
six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and indicate
the reasons, together with an estimate of the period within which it will issue its report.
The Panel on European Union – Countervailing and Anti -Dumping Duties on Stainless Steel
Cold-Rolled Flat Products from Indonesia was established by the DSB on 30 May 2023 and composed
on 13 September 2023.
Due to constraints pertaining to the availability of a member of the Panel as well as the scheduling
of the 13th Ministerial Conference in February 2024, the first substantive meeting with the parties
was unable to be scheduled before April 2024. Moreover, the Pa nel has received particularly
voluminous submissions from the parties on a range of issues. As a result, the Panel does not expect
to issue its final report to the parties before the end of 2024, at the earliest.
The report will only be available to the public once it is circulated to the Members in all three working
languages of the WTO. The date of circulation depends on completion of translation and the Panel is
not in a position to provide an estimated circulation date at this time.
I would be grateful if you would circulate this letter to the DSB.

TUBULAR GOODS FROM ARGENTINA
COMMUNICATION FROM THE PANEL
The following communication, dated 4 July 2024, was received from the Chairperson of the Panel
with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).

Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes
(DSU) provides that the period in which a panel shall conduct its examination, from the date that
the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the date the final
report is issued to the parties to the dispute, shall, as a general rule, not exceed six months.
Article 12.9 of the DSU provides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within
six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and indicate
the reasons, together with an estimate of the period within which it will issue its report.
The Panel on United States – Anti-Dumping Measure on Oil Country Tubular Goods from Argentina
(DS617) was established by the DSB on 26 October 2023 and composed on 7 January 2024.
Both parties requested significantly more time to file their first written submissions than the time
originally proposed by the Panel. In view of the arguments put forward by the parties in support of
their requests, the Panel granted the parties' requests, which delayed the beginning of the Panel's
substantive work. The Panel does not expect to be in a position to issue its final report to the
parties before the first quarter of 2025.
The report will only be available to the public once it is circulated to the Members in all
three working languages of the WTO. The date of circulation depends on completion of translation
and the Panel is not in a position to provide an estimated circulation date at this time.
I would be grateful if you would circulate this letter to the DSB.

UNITED STATES – CERTAIN TAX CREDITS UNDER THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNITED STATES
The following communication, dated 5 April 2024 , was received from the delegation of the
United States with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).

On March 26, 2024, the United States received China 's letter of the same date requesting
consultations pursuant to Articles 1 and 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing
the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), Article XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
1994, Article 8 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures, and Articles 4 and 30 of
the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

The Inflation Reduction Act is a groundbreaking tool for the United States to seriously address the
global climate crisis, cutting the pollution that drives climate change and environmental injustice
while pursuing major new investments in clean energy technology. Without prejudice to whether
each of the items in China 's letter constitutes a "measure" within the meaning of Article 4 of the
DSU, or whether the consultations request raises issues of national security not susceptible to review
or capable of resolution by WTO dispute settlement, the United States accepts the request of China
to enter into consultations. We stand ready to confer with officials from your mission on a mutually
convenient date for the consultations.
