Notification of an Appeal by the Dominican Republic

under Article 16.4 and Article 17 of the Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU),
and under Rule 20(1) of the Working Procedures for Appellate Review

 The following notification, dated 24 January 2005 , from the Delegation of the Dominican
Republic, is being circulated to Members.

 Pursuant to Articles 16.4 and 17.4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing
the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU") and Rule 20 of the Working Procedures for Appellate Review, the
Dominican Republic appeals certain issues of law and legal interpretation in the Panel Report in
Dominican Republic – Measures Affecting th e Importation and Internal Sale of Cigarettes

1. The Dominican Republic believes that the Pane l committed legal error in paragraphs 7.232,
7.233, and 8.1(e) of the Panel Report, by concluding that the Dominican Republic's "tax
stamp requirement" (Article 37 of Decree 79-03 of 4 February 2003 and Decree 130-02 of 11
February 2002) is not justified under Article XX(d) of the GATT 1994.

a. The Panel erred in interpreting and appl ying the term "necessary" in Article XX(d).
In this regard, the Dominican Republic in tends to make arguments relating to the
Panel's reasoning in, inter alia, paragraphs 7.213-7.230 of the Panel Report.

b. The Panel failed to make an objective assessme nt of the facts of the case, inconsistent
with its duty under Article 11 of the DSU, by exceeding the bounds of its discretion in
examining evidence submitted by the Domi nican Republic regarding tax evasion,
smuggling, and forgery of tax stamps. Th e Panel also failed to make an objective
assessment of the facts regarding the lack of reasonably available alternative
instruments. In this regard, the Domi nican Republic intends to make arguments
relating to the Panel's reasoning in, inter alia , paragraphs 7.221-7.226 and 7.228-
7.229 of the Panel Report.

2. In the event that the Appellate Body reve rses the Panel's conclusion that the tax stamp
requirement is not justified under paragraph (d) of Article XX of the GATT 1994, the
Dominican Republic requests that the Appellate Body complete the legal analysis under
Article XX of the GATT 1994.

The provisions of the covered agreements that the Dominican Republic considers to have been
erroneously interpreted or applied by the Pa nel include Article XX(d) of the GATT 1994 and
Article 11 of the DSU.

 Honduras remains ready to hold consultations with the Dominican Republic with a view to
reaching agreement on an arbitrator within th e 10-day period provided for in footnote 12 to

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

 The following communication, dated 12 July 2005, from the Permanent Delegation of
Honduras to the Chairman of the Di spute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of that
delegation.

 At the meeting of 19 May 2005, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted the reports of
the Panel () and the Appellate Body () in Dominican Republic–
Measures Affecting the Importation and Internal Sale of Cigarettes (DS302).

 In accordance with its obligations under Ar ticle 21.3 of the Understanding on Rules and
Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU), on 13 June 2005 the Dominican Republic
announced its intention to implement the DSB's recommendations and rulings in the above-mentioned
dispute and indicated that it would need a reasonable period of time in which to do so.

 Honduras and the Dominican Republic have held consultations with a view to agreeing on a
reasonable period of time for implementation, in accordance with Article 21.3(b) of the DSU. Despite
their efforts, however, they failed to reach such an agreement.

 Consequently, Honduras requests binding arbitra tion under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU for the
purpose of determining a reasonable period of time for implementation of the DSB's
recommendations and rulings.

Request for Consultations by the United States
The following communication, dated 23 December 2003, from the Delegation of the United
States to the Delegation of Egypt and to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated in
accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU.
My authorities have instructed me to reques t consultations with the Government of Egypt
pursuant to Articles 1 and 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement
of Disputes ("DSU"), Article XXII:1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994
("GATT 1994"), and Article 7 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing ("ATC") regarding the
tariffs applied to textile and apparel products and the Decree of the President of the Arab Republic of
Egypt No. 469 of the year 2001 ("Decree No. 469") and any amendments, related regulations or other
implementing measures.
In the Uruguay Round, Egypt agreed to remove a general prohibition on the importation of
apparel and made-up textile products by 1 January 2002. It also agreed to bind its duties under
HS Chapters 61 (articles of apparel and clothing, knitted and crocheted) and 62 (articles of apparel
and clothing, not knitted or crocheted) at an ad valorem rate of 46 per cent in 2003, 43 per cent in
2004 and 40 per cent thereafter. Moreover, it agreed to bind its duties under HS Chapter 63 (other
made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing) at an ad valorem rate of 41 per cent in 2003, 38 per cent
in 2004, and 35 per cent thereafter.
The United States understands that, on 31 December 2001, just before the import prohibition
was set to expire, President Mubarak issued Decr ee No. 469 amending the customs duties applicable
to a number of imported articles, including articles that enter under HS Chapters 61, 62 and 63. The
amended duties were specific ( i.e., in Egyptian pounds (L.E.) per piece of clothing), rather than
ad valorem.
It appears that the specific duties applied by Egypt greatly exceed Egypt's bound rates of duty.
Specifically, it appears that the ad valorem equivalent of these duties range from a low of 141 per cent
to a high of 51,296 per cent – all well above the bound rates.
The United States therefore believes that these tariffs, Decree No. 469 and any related
measures are inconsistent with the obligations of Egypt under Article II of the GATT 1994 and
Article 7 of the ATC.
We look forward to receiving your reply to this request and to fixing a mutually acceptable
date for consultation.
