 The following communication, dated 4 July 2011, from the Chair of the Appellate Body
addressed to the Chair of the Dispute Settlement Bo dy, is circulated in accordance with Article 17.5

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

circulate its Report no later than 60 days afte r the appellant has formally notified the Dispute
Settlement Body (the "DSB") of its decision to appeal . Article 17.5 states, furthermore, 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.

 The European Union notified the DSB on 1 April 2011 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 expired on Tuesday, 31 May 2011. Due to the considerable size of
the record and complexity of the appeal, the need to hold multiple sessions of the oral hearing, and
taking into account the current overall workload of the Appellate Body, the Appellate Body was not
able to circulate its Report by Tuesday, 31 May 2011. The Appellate Body will hold a first session of
the oral hearing in August and a second session in October 2011, and will provide thereafter an
estimate for circulation of its Report in this dispute.

IN LARGE CIVIL AIRCRAFT
(SECOND COMPLAINT)
COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNITED STATES
The following communication, dated 6 May 2020 , was received from the delegation of the
United States with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).

The United States wishes to inform the Dispute Settlement Body ( "DSB") of its compliance in the
dispute United States – Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (Second Complaint)
(WT/DS353).

Please find attached a document entitled "U.S. Notification of Compliance Through Withdrawal of
Subsidies". The United States requests that you please circulate this notification to the Members of
the DSB.

Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (Second Complaint) (WT/DS353). The DSB found
that the United States continued to cause adverse effects in the post -compliance period to the
interests of the European Union (EU) within the meaning of Article 5(c) of the Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures ("SCM Agreement") through the use of a Washington State
business and occupation (B&O) tax rate reduction, and the DSB did not adopt findings that any other
measure continued to cause adverse effects to EU.1

2. On March 25, 2020, the State of Washington enacted Engrossed Senate Bill 6690. This
legislation, as of April 1, 2020, removed the preferential B&O tax rate for aerospace manufacturing,
retailing, and wholesaling, by setting the aerospace B&O tax rates at 0.484 percent, which is equal
to or higher than the generally applicable, standard rates, that is, 0.484 percent for manufacturing
and wholesaling and 0.471 percent for retailing.2

3. Through this action, the United States has withdrawn the subsidy found to be inconsistent
with Article 5(c) of the SCM Agreement in the compliance proceeding. Thus, the United States has
brought its measures into conformity with its obligations under the SCM Agreement and therefore
fully implemented the DSB's recommendations in this dispute.

2 Washington Engrossed Senate Bill 6690, p. 7, line 38 – p. 8, line 2 (Attachment 1) (codified in Revised
Code of Washington, § 82.04.260(11)); Revised Code of Washington, §§ 82.04.240, 82.04.250, 82.04.270.
See also United States – Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (Second Complaint), WT/DS353/R,

UNITED STATES – MEASURES AFFECTING TRADE
IN LARGE CIVIL AIRCRAFT
(SECOND COMPLAINT)

Recourse to Article 22.6 of the DSU by the United States

 The following communication, dated 22 Oc tober 2012, from the delegation of the
United States to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 22.6
of the DSU.

The United States is in receipt of the request by the European Union ("EU") in the dispute
 (DS353) for
authorization to take countermeasures against the United States (). My authorities have
instructed me to inform you that, pursuant to Article 22.6 of the Understanding on Rules and
Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), the United States (i) objects to the level of
suspension of concessions or othe r obligations proposed by the EU in document , and
(ii) claims that the EU's proposal in documen t does not follow the principles and
procedures set forth in paragraph 3 of Article 22 of the DSU.

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

In addition, the United States notes that the EU re quest purports to be pursuant to Article 4.10
of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures ("SCM Agreement"). However, the
United States recalls that there were no DSB recommendations under Article 4 of the SCM
Agreement. Accordingly, the EU can have no legal basis for its request. Indeed the EU itself seems
to concede this at other parts of its request. The United States is surprised that the EU would disagree
with the clear statements in the Panel and Appellate Body reports that those reports did not make any
recommendation pursuant to Article 4 and that the EU would seek authorization that it has no legal
basis to claim.

Request to Join Consultations

Communication from Argentina

 The following communication, dated 19 January 2007, from the delegation of Argentina to
the delegation of the United States, the delegation of Canada and to the Chairman of the Dispute
Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.

 I hereby refer to the request for consultati ons by Canada to the United States of America
concerning subsidies and other domestic support for corn and other agricultural products, contained in
document , , , , dated 11 January 2007.

 My country is the world's second largest exporter of corn and one of the major world
producers of agricultural products. In 2005 Argentina exported $1.4 billion worth of corn, and is the
only country aside from the United States with a significant share of the world export market
accounting for around 15 % of the world trade during the period 2003-2006.

 As a major agricultural producer and exporter, Argentina is very concerned about the effects
that subsidies and/or any other forms of domestic support provided by the United States to their
producers and/or exporters of corn and other agricu ltural products, have on its own production and/or
exports of the subject product.

 In view of its substantial trade interest as a producer and exporter of corn and other
agricultural products, the Argentine Republic request to be joined in the aforementioned consultations
pursuant to the procedures established in Article 4 11 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures
Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU)

 I would be grateful for receiving a positive answ er to the request contained herein, and to be
informed of the date and venue of the consultations.
