INDONESIA – SAFEGUARD ON CERTAIN IRON OR STEEL PRODUCTS
COMMUNICATION FROM INDONESIA
The following communication, dated 15 April 2019, was received from the delegation of Indonesia
with the request that it be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).

My authorities have instructed me to request that the following communication be circulated to the
Dispute Settlement Body (DSB).

On 27 August 2018, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and rulings
in the dispute Indonesia – Safeguard on Iron or Steel Products ( and ).

In a communication dated 16 September 2018, Indonesia informed the DSB of its intention to
implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this dispute. Pursuant to Article 21.3(b)
of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU) ,
Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and Viet Nam have mutu ally agreed on reasonable period of time that
expired on 27 March 2019 ( and ).

With respect to the DSB 's recommendations and rulings, I am pleased to inform you that o n 22
March 2019, Indonesia has adopted the Minister of Finance (MoF) Regulation No. 26/PMK.010/2019
to amend the MoF regulation No. 130/PMK/010/2017 concerning Imposition of Safeguard Duty on
Imports of Flat-Rolled Products of Iron or Non -Alloy Steel or "galvalume" (regulation as attached).
The regulation enacted and entered into force on 22 March 2019. By the adoption of this regulation,
the safeguard measure challenged by Chinese Taipei and Viet Nam ceases to exist. Consequently,
there will be no imposition of any additional safeguard duty (in the form of specific duty) on import
galvalume started on 28 March 2019 (on a non-discriminatory basis).

The adoption of this regulation ensures the full implementation of the DSB recommendations and
rulings in these disputes.

In regards of the aforementioned development, my a uthorities have instructed me to request that
an agenda regarding implementation of the recommendations adopted by the DSB for Indonesia –
Safeguard on Certain Iron or Steel Products (WT/DS490/DS496) be inscribed on the agenda of the
meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body to be held on 26 April 2019.

INDONESIA – SAFEGUARD ON CERTAIN IRON OR STEEL PRODUCTS
COMMUNICATION FROM THE APPELLATE BODY
The following c ommunication, dated 27 November 2017, 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

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.

Indonesia notified the DSB on 28 September 2017 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 Monday, 27 November 2017. 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 2017 , with several appeals
proceeding in parallel, and there is increasing 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 w ill 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 Appellate Body Report in this appeal will be communicated to the
participants and third participants after the oral hearing.

COMMUNICATION FROM INDONESIA CONCERNING ARTICLE 21.3(B) OF THE DSU
The following communication, dated 11 October 2018, from the delegation of Indonesia to the
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of that delegation.

I am referring to the adoption of the Panel Report on the above matter subject by the Dispute
Settlement Body ("DSB") on 27 August 2018. Based on Article 21.3 of the Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), Indonesia wishes to inform the DSB
that it is impracticable for Indonesia to comply immediately with the recommendations and rulings
of the DSB in this dispute. Therefore, Indonesia requir es a reasonable period of time ("RPT") in
which to do so.
Article 21.3(b) of the DSU provides for a 45 -day period after the date of adoption of the
recommendations and rulings of the DSB to reach a mutual agreement on the RPT. This 45 -day
period would end on 12 October 2018. In this regard, Indonesia is of the views that it is necessary
for the parties to reach a mutually agreed RPT beyond the relevant 45-day period.
Indonesia looks forward to discussing the appropriate length of the RPT with Chinese Taipe i
and Viet Nam.

period of time in which to do this. My delegation stands ready to discuss this matter with China in
due course, in accordance with Article 21.3(b) of the DSU.

The European Union kindly requests that you circulate this communication to the Memb ers of the
DSB. At the same time, the European Union has requested the DSB to add a separate point on this

UKRAINE – ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES ON AMMONIUM NITRATE
COMMUNICATION FROM THE APPELLATE BODY
The following communication, dated 22 October 2018, from the Chair of the Appellate Body to the
Chair of the Dispute Settlement Body, is being circulated to Members.

I am writing pursuant to Article 17.5 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the
Settlement of Disputes (DSU), which states that, as a general rule, the Appellate Body will circulate its
Report no later than 60 days afte r the appellant has formally notified the Dispute Settlement Body
(DSB) of its decision to appeal. Article 17.5 further 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. In no case shall
the proceedings exceed 90 days."

Ukraine notified the DSB on 23 August 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. As a result, the 60-day
period expires on 22 October 2018. The Appellate Body is not able to circulate its Report by that date.

The Appellate Body is also not able to circu late its report within the 90-day timeframe provided for
in the last sentence of Article 17.5 of the DSU. In this respect, we refer to the size of the Panel record
and the complex issues appealed. We further note that in view of the backlog of appeals pending with
the Appellate Body at present, and the overlap in the composition of all divisions resulting in part from
the reduced number of Appellate Body Members, Division Members can currently spend only very little
time preparing for this appeal. It will not be possible for the Division to focus on the consideration of
this appeal and for it to be fully staffed for some time.

As soon as we know more precisely when the division can schedule the hearing in this appeal, we will
inform the participants and DSB Members.
