Communication from Japan

 The following communication, dated 23 April 2010, addressed to the Chairman of the

 Japan wishes to thank you and the other arb itrators, again, for agreeing to serve as the
arbitrator in the proceeding –
Recourse by the United States to Article 22.6 of the DSU (WT/DS322).

 As you recall, on 6 June 2008, in acco rdance with certain procedures under the
Understanding between the United States and Japan Regarding Procedures under Article 21 and 22
of the DSU

suspend the arbitration proceeding effective as from that date until either party requests the
resumption of the proceedings under the circumstances described in paragraph 3 of the Confirmed
Procedures.

 Paragraph 3 of the Confirmed Procedures provides as follows:

The arbitration will resume upon a request made by either Party following the adoption by the
DSB of the Article 21.5 Panel report and, if any, the Appellate Body report, if:

(a) The DSB finds that a measure taken to comply with the DSB's 23 January 2007
recommendations and rulings in this dispute does not exist or is inconsistent with a
covered agreement, or
(b) There is no disagreement between the Parties that a measure taken to comply does not
exist with regard to certain measure s subject to the DSB's 23 January 2007
recommendations and rulings.
 On 31 August 2009, by adopting the Article 21.5 Panel report () and the
Appellate Body report ()
2, the DSB found that the measu res taken to comply with
the DSB's 23 January 2007 recommendations and rulings in this dispute do not exist or are
inconsistent with a covered agreement.

 Accordingly, Japan hereby requests the Arbitrator to resume the arbitration.

Request by Japan for Arbitration under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU

 The following communication, dated 29 March 2007, from the delegation of Japan to the
Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of that delegation.

 On 23 January 2007, the Dispute Settlement B ody (the "DSB") adopted the Appellate Body
Report and the Panel Report, as modified by the Appellate Body Report, in (WT/DS322). At the meeting of the DSB held on 20
February 2007, the United States stated that it intends to comply with its WTO obligations and that it
would need a reasonable period of time in which to do so.

 In the absence of an agreement with the United States under Article 21.3(b) of the
Understanding on Rules and Procedures Go verning the Settlement of Disputes (the "DSU") on a
reasonable period of time for the United States to comply with the recommendations of the DSB,
Japan hereby requests that this period be determ ined through binding arbitration pursuant to
Article 21.3(c) of the DSU

 Japan will enter into consultations with the United States with a view to reaching agreement
on the arbitrator within the time period provided for in footnote 12 of the DSU.

Request by the United States for Arbitration under Article 22.6 of the DSU

 The following communication, dated 18 January 2008, from the delegation of the
United States to the Chairman of the Dispute Settleme nt Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 22.6
of the DSU.

 Regarding the dispute
(WT/DS322), my authorities have instructed me to inform you that, pursuant to Article 22.6 of the
Understanding on Rules and Procedures Go verning the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), the
United States objects to the level of suspension of concessions or other obligations under the covered
agreements proposed by Japan in documents and The level of
suspension proposed in those documents is not equiva lent to the level of nullification or impairment
within the meaning of Article 22.7 of the DSU.

 Accordingly, as required by Article 22.6 of the DSU
1, the matter has been referred to
arbitration.

 The United States notes that this objection is based on its understanding that Japan, in
submitting two separate documents, nevertheless intended to comply with the provisions of Article 22
of the DSU. Article 22.2 provides in relevant pa rt that, assuming the situation described in that
paragraph has occurred, a party "may request au thorization from the DSB to suspend ... concessions
or other obligations". Article 22.6 refers to "the
 request" (emphasis added), and Article 22.7 provides
that "the parties concerned shall not seek a second ar bitration". Accordingly, there is no basis in the
DSU for a complaining party to make multiple requ ests for authorization. If Japan had intended its
two documents to be two separate requests, then one of the documents w ould have no legal basis
under the DSU and would not be eligible for the d ecision by negative consensus by the DSB provided
for in Article 22.6. In that case, the United States would be in a position to decide whether to treat
one of the documents as being w ithout legal basis and to block a decision of the DSB to grant the
request.

The United States reserves all its rights under th e DSU (including Article 2.4 of the DSU)
with respect to these two documents.

JAPAN – IMPORT QUOTAS ON DRIED LAVER AND SEASONED LAVER

Request for Consultations by Korea

 The following communication, dated 1 December 2004, from the delegation of Korea to the
delegation of Japan and to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated in
accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU.

 My authorities have instructed me to request consultations with the Government of Japan
pursuant to Article 4 of the Understanding on Ru les and Procedures Governing the Settlement of
Disputes (DSU), Article XXIII:1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994),
Article 19 of the Agreement on Agriculture, and Article 6 of the Agreement on Import Licensing
Procedures regarding Japan's import quotas on dried laver (1212.20-1-(1 )) and seasoned laver
(2106.90-2-(2)-E-(b)).

 The Republic of Korea believes that the extremely restrictive import quotas on dried laver and
seasoned laver maintained by Japan are inconsistent with Japan's obligations under Article XI of the
GATT 1994 and in particular, but not necessarily ex clusively, Article 4.2 of the Agreement on
Agriculture. Moreover, these quotas are administered in a partial and unreasonable manner, and in
violation of Japan's obligations under Article X:3 of the GATT 1994 and in particular, but not
necessarily exclusively, Article 1.2 and 1.6 of the Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures.

 Through these violations of WTO rules, the import quotas have created trade distortions
between Japan and Korea and undermined important objectives of the GATT 1994 and other relevant
WTO agreements.

 The Republic of Korea reserves its right to ra ise further factual claims and legal matters
during the course of consultations.

 We look forward to receiving your reply to the present request and to fixing a mutually
convenient date for consultations.

adopted by the Panel after consultations with the Parties.
