(13 March 2001)

Subject: Launching a case within the WTO(cid:146)s dispute settlement procedures (Commission(cid:146)s recommen-

dation)

When the Commission recommends to the Council of Ministers that it is to launch a case within the
WTO(cid:146)s dispute settlement procedures, are the details of the recommendation made available to the public
before the Council of Ministers takes its own decision? If not, why not?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0747/01

by Nicholas Clegg (ELDR) to the Commission

(13 March 2001)

Subject: Launching a case under

the WTO(cid:146)s dispute settlement procedures

(Council of Ministers(cid:146)

instruction)

When the Council of Ministers instructs the Commission to launch a case within the WTO(cid:146)s dispute
settlement procedures, what procedures are in place to ensure that the reasons for launching the case are
immediately made available to the public?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-0746/01 and E-0747/01
given by Mr Lamy on behalf of the Commission

(11 May 2001)

As the Honourable Member knows, there are two possible ways for the Commission to ensure the
enforcement of the rights of the Community through World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement
procedures.

The first one is action under the Trade Barriers Regulation, i.e. Council Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 of
22 December 1994 laying down Community procedures in the field of the common commercial policy in
order to ensure the exercise of the Community(cid:146)s rights under international trade rules, in particular those
established under the auspices of the WTO (1).

Article 8 paragraph 1(a) of that Regulation provides that when the Commission considers that there is
sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an examination procedure, it publishes a notice in the Official
the information received and inviting
Journal of
interested parties to submit comments.

the European Communities giving a summary of

If, at the end of the examination procedure, the Commission decides to initiate a WTO dispute settlement
procedure, Article 12 paragraph 4 of the Council Regulation provides that such decision shall state the
reasons on which it is based and again be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
A similar publication happens in case no action is undertaken.

As the guardian of the Treaties, including international agreements, the Commission may also enforce the
negotiated rights of the Community outside the specific framework of the Trade Barriers Regulation (see
Article 15 of the Council Regulation).

In that case, the Commission consults the special committee established under Article 133 paragraph 3 of
the EC Treaty.
