FOR CALCULATING DUMPING MARGINS ("ZEROING")

Status Report by the United States

 The following communication, dated 10 June 2010, from the delegation of the United States
to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.

Status Report Regarding Implementation of the

DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute

(WT/DS294)

 The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU").

 On 9 May 2006, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and
rulings in (DS294). At the following DSB meeting on 30 May 2006, the United States informed the
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendati ons and rulings of the DSB in connection with
this matter. The United States and the European Communities ("EC") agreed that the reasonable
period of time for the United States to implemen t the recommendations and rulings of the DSB would
end on 9 April 2007.

 The United States has taken a number of step s to comply with the recommendations and
rulings of the DSB in this dispute. With respect to the "as such" claims, as of 22 February 2007, the
United States is no longer performing average-to-ave rage comparisons in anti-dumping investigations
without offsets.

 With respect to the 15 anti-dumping investigati ons at issue in this dispute, three of the
anti-dumping orders in question had been revoked before the DSB adopted its recommendations and
rulings. With respect to the remaining 12, the US Department of Commerce issued 11 determinations
on 9 April 2007 and one determination on 31 August, 2007. In those determinations, the Department
used an average-to-average comparison in which offs ets were provided. As a result, in two of these
determinations, the Department found no dumping, and the Departme nt revoked the orders. The
margins for the others were adju sted accordingly, and in sever al cases, the Department found no
dumping by individual companies. The Departme nt revoked the orders with respect to those
companies. Additionally, four of the remain ing anti-dumping orders were revoked as a result of
sunset reviews, with effect prior to the end of the reasonable period of time.

 On 11 June 2009, the DSB adopted the Appella te Body report and the panel report, as
modified by the Appellate Body report, regarding th e recourse to Article 21.5 of the DSU by the EC.
The United States will continue to consult with in terested parties in order to address the findings
contained in these reports.
