UKRAINE – TAXES ON DISTILLED SPIRITS

Request for Consultations by Moldova

 The following communication, dated 2 March 2011, from the delegation of Moldova to the
delegation of Ukraine 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 request consultations with the Government of the
Republic of Ukraine ("Ukraine") pursuant to Ar ticles 1 and 4 of the Understanding on Rules and
Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disput es ("DSU") and Article XXII of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("GATT 1994") w ith respect to discriminatory taxation applied
on imported alcoholic beverages by the Ukraine. This discrimination adversely affects exports of
spirits (code 22.08 of the Harmonised System) from the Republic of Moldova to the Ukraine.

In particular, the amendments made to the La w No. 178 from 07.05.1996 "On rates of excise duty on
ethyl alcohol and alcoholic beverages" in 2008, appear to impose a lower tax rate on domestic
products than on certain other like distilled spirits , imported from the Republic of Moldova, thereby
infringing GATT Article III:2, first sentence. Those modifications also appear to impose a lower tax
rate on domestic products than on certain other directly competitive or substitutable distilled spirits
imported from the Republic of Moldova, so as to afford protection to the domestic production, thus
violating GATT Article III:2, second sentence.

 To mention that, since 2009 consultations with Ukraine on a bilateral basis failed to resolve
the issue, so the Republic of Mo ldova has therefore decided to re quest WTO consultations, since the
Ukrainian Excise Tax regime on distilled spirits a ppears to be inconsistent with the Ukrainian
obligations under GATT 1994.

 The Republic of Moldova reserves the right to address additional measures and claims under
other provisions of the WTO Agreement regard ing the above matters during the course of the
consultations.

 The Republic of Moldova looks forward to r eceiving in due course a reply from the Ukraine
to this request. The Republic of Moldova is ready to consider with the Ukraine mutually convenient
dates and place to hold consultations.

Request to Join Consultations

Communication from Japan

 The following communication, dated 18 April 2011, from the delegation of Japan to the
delegation of the United States, the delegation of th e European Union and to the Chairperson of the
Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.

I wish to refer to the consultations request ed by the European Union in a communication
circulated to WTO Members on 6 April 2011 in document , ,
titled " ". My authorities instruct me to hereby notify the consulting Members and the Dispute
Settlement Body of the desire of Japan to be join ed in these consultations pursuant to paragraph 11 of
Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes.

Japan has a substantial trade interest in th ese consultations because anti-dumping duties are
also imposed by the United States on imports from Japan of the same produc ts at issue in these
consultations, i.e. stainless steel sheet and strip in coils. These consultations further appear to relate to
the implementing measures taken by the United St ates to address the DSB's recommendations and
rulings concerning the "zeroing" methodology in the dispute " United States – Laws, Regulations and
Methodology for Calculating Dumping Margins" (DS294) . Japan has challenged the same "zeroing"
methodology maintained and applied by the United States in its anti-dumping proceedings in the
dispute "United States – Measures Relating to Zeroing and Sunset Reviews" (DS322).
