Addendum
The following communication, dated 6 December 2018, from the delegation of Indonesia to the
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.

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

On 22 November 2017, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted its recommendations and
rulings in Indonesia – Measures Concerning the Importation of Chicken Meat and Chicken Products
(WT/DS484). At the DSB meeting on 22 January 2018, Indonesia informed the DSB its intention to
implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB related to this matter.

Indonesia and Brazil also informed the DSB, on 15 March 2018, its agreement for the reasonable
period of time for Indonesia to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB. This
reasonable period of time would elapse on 22 July 2018.

The Government of Indonesia has undertaken necessary steps to make adjustments to the relevant
measures, by amending its regulations namely:

1. The Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 23/2018, which entered into force on 24 May 2018;
and
2. The Ministry of Trade Regulation No. 65/2018, which entered into force on 31 May 2018.
These regulations have also been notified to the Committee of Import Licensing on 15 August 2018
with document number and

Referring to those regulations, the essence of modification is that products covered in this dispute
may be imported, either included or excluded in the Annex. It is confirmed that importers are allowed
to modify the information contained in the import lic enses. Hence, there would be no sanction for
such modification. With regard to distribution plan, our domestic producers also have the plan for
their products to be distributed.

With respect to the submitted questionnaire, it is currently under rigorous internal examination by
the Ministry of Agriculture.

Indonesia stands ready to continue holding consultations and to remain in constant communications
with Brazil with respect to any matter relating thereto.
