CHINA – ANTI-DUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY MEASURES
ON BROILER PRODUCTS FROM THE UNITED STATES
RECOURSE TO ARTICLE 21.5 OF THE DSU BY THE UNITED STATES
REQUEST FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PANEL
Corrigendum
The following communication, dated 1 June 2016, from the delegation of the United States to the
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of that delegation.

On 27 May 2016, the United States sought recourse to Article 21.5 of the Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes in the dispute China – Anti-Dumping and
Countervailing Duty Measures on Broiler Products from the United States (DS427). The United
States has become aware of and is correcting a typographical error contained in the 27 May panel
request.
In particular, in paragraph 2, second sentence, the second appearance of the word "not" should be
deleted. The corrected sentence would thus read:
2. . . . . For example, MOFCOM did no t address economic evidence and factors
that contradicted its finding that the industry was suffering material injury on account
of US imports.
The United States requests that this revision, which should be read together with the 27 May panel
request, be circulated to Members.

This revision would therefore be circulated as

I am writing to you pursuant to Article 17.5 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing

Request to Join Consultations

Communication from Colombia

 The following communication, dated 15 March 2012, from the delegation of Colombia to the
delegation of India, the delegation of the Unite d States and to the Chairperson of the Dispute
Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.

Pursuant to paragraph 11 of Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures
Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU), my authorities have instructed me to notify the
consulting Members and the Dispute Settlement Body of the desire of Colombia to be joined in the
consultations requested by the United States on India – Measures Concerning the Importation of
Certain Agricultural Products, circulated the 8th of March of 2012 ().

Colombia has a substantial trade interest in these consultations. They concern certain sanitary
and phytosanitary measures taken by the government of India to address the health risk posed by the
importations of various agricultura l products from the United States, due to the possible presence of
pathogenic entities. Colombia has enacted measures that have the same policy objective pursued by
the government of India.
