KOREA – MEASURES AFFECTING TRADE IN COMMERCIAL VESSELS (JAPAN)
REQUEST TO JOIN CONSULTATIONS
Communication from the European Union
The following communication, dated 20 November 2018, from the delegation of the European Union
to the delegation of the Republic of Korea, and the delegation of Japan, is circulated to the Dispute
Settlement Body in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.

Pursuant to Article 4.11 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of
Disputes (DSU), the European Union (EU) hereby notifies the Government of the Republic of Korea,
the Government of Japan, and the Dispute Settlement Body that, in the light of its substantial
trade interest, it desires to be joined in the consultations requested by Japan in a communication
circulated to WTO Members on 13 November 2018 (, , ),
entitled "Korea - Measures affecting Trade in Commercial Vessels (Japan)".
The EU notes that the request for consultations relates to a number of alleged export and local
content subsidies provided by Korea directly, or through public or private institutions, to Korean
shipbuilders or their customers.
The EU is a major global producer and exporter of both ships and maritime equipment such as ship
engines and navigational equipment. The EU maritime technology industry (namely shipbuilders
together with maritime equipment suppliers), is the global leader in terms of aggregated production
value of shipbuilding and maritime equipment. EU shipyards generate an overall production value of
41 billion Euro, employ 225 000 people and are successful in complex, technologically advanced
markets. EU marine equipment manufacturers and suppliers number some 28000 firms, generate a
total production valu e of 71 billion Euro, employ some 340 000 people and have a global market
share of 52%. With a calculated total value of 112.5 billion Euro, the EU represents over 23% of the
global production value for maritime technology. The measures referred to in the consultation
request may have a substantial impact on the price of ships including ship engines and other
maritime equipment and affect trade flows in these products.
The EU has therefore a substantial trade interest in these consultations.

The following communication, dated 19 November 2020, was received from the Chairperson of the

On 10 November 2020, shortly before the Panel was scheduled to issue its final Report to the parties

requested that the Panel suspend its work in Turkey – Additional Duties on Imports of Air

asked the Panel not to accept Thailand's request. On 12 November 2020, Thailand replied to Turkey's
communication of 11 November 2020 and reiterated its request that the Panel suspend its work .
Given the timing and nature of Thailand's 10 November 2020 request, on 12 November 2020, the

QATAR – CERTAIN MEASURES CONCERNING GOODS FROM THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
The following communication, dated 8 August 2019 , from the delegation of the United Arab
Emirates to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body and the Director of Legal Affairs
Division, is circulated at the request of the delegation of the United Arab Emirates.

I write to inform you that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) no longer considers it necessary to
pursue its complaint in DS576. This is due to Qatar 's public withdrawal of the measures in
question. Accordingly, there is no need to compose the Panel, and I kindly request that the matter
now be concluded.

The UAE initiated this dispute against directives imp osed by Qatar barring all UAE goods and
pharmaceuticals from sale in Qatar. While Qatar maintained that it instituted these directives for
purposes of public health and consumer safety, the application of the ban to all UAE goods clearly
indicated that these reasons were pretexts. Qatar did not offer an adequate or lawful explanation
under the WTO rules for why it took this action, and did not engage the WTO's security exceptions.

In the present dispute, Qatar has now publicly declared, including to the Di spute Settlement Body
(DSB), that it has withdrawn the measures challenged by the UAE. Accordingly, the UAE is willing
to consider that this dispute has been sufficiently resolved, and the matter should be concluded.

In concluding this matter, the UAE not es that it will not hesitate to bring a new complaint if Qatar
adopts or maintains any measures that are non -compliant with the WTO rules. The UAE will
continue in DS526 to defend its action to terminate relations with Qatar to protect its essential
security interests. The UAE is confident that it has acted, and continues to act, in full conformity
with WTO rules and security exceptions.

The UAE thanks you and the Secretariat for the assistance provided in this matter. The UAE kindly
requests that this communication be circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body.

The report will only be available to the public once it is circulated to the Members in all three working

COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNITED STATES
The following communication, dated 19 January 2022, from the delegation of the United States to

At its meeting on December 20, 2021, the Dispute Settlement Body ( "DSB") adopted its
recommendations and rulings in the dispute United States – Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties
on Ripe Olives from Spain (DS577). My authorities have instructed me to advise the DSB of the
intentions of the United States with respect to implementation of the recommendations and rulings
of the DSB, as is our responsibility under Article 21.3 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures
Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"). The United States is informing the DSB of its
intentions by letter, rather than at a special meeting of the DSB, and will reiterate this statement at
the DSB meeting scheduled for January 25, 2022.

It is the intention of the United States to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in
these disputes in a manner that respects its WTO obligations, and we have begun to evaluate options
for doing so. The United States will need a reasonable period of time in which to do this. The United
States stands ready to discuss this matter with the European Union, in accordance with
Article 21.3(b) of the DSU.

The United States respectfully requests that you circulate this communication to the Members of the
DSB.
