| 00-14209 | WTO Consultations Regarding Measures Treating Export Restraints as Subsidies | Notice | The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice that on May 19, 2000, Canada requested consultations with the United States under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement), regarding U.S. measures that treat a restraint on exports of a product as a subsidy to other products made using or incorporating the restricted product if the domestic price of the restricted product is affected by the restraint. The measures identified by Canada in its consultation request are those provisions of the Statement of Administrative Action (SAA) accompanying the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (H.R. 5110, H.R. Doc. 316, Vol. I, 103d Cong., 2d Sess., 656, in particular at 925-926 (1994)) and the Explanation of the Final Rules (the Explanation), U.S. Department of Commerce, Countervailing Duties, Final Rule (63 Federal Register 65,348, 65,349-51 (November 25, 1998)) interpreting section 771(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677(5)), as amended by the URAA. Canada alleges that the SAA and the Explanation are inconsistent with Article 1.1, 10 (as well as Articles 11, 17 and 19, as they relate to the requirements of Article 10), and 32.1 of the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement). Canada also alleges that by maintaining these measures, the United States violates Article 32.5 of the SCM Agreement and Article XVI:4 of the WTO Agreement. Pursuant to Article 4.3 of the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding ("DSU"), consultations are to take place within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of the request, or within a period otherwise mutually agreed between the United States and Canada. USTR invites written comments from the public concerning the issues raised in this dispute. | 2000-06-06 | 2000 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/06/06/00-14209/wto-consultations-regarding-measures-treating-export-restraints-as-subsidies | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-06-06/pdf/00-14209.pdf | Trade Representative, Office of United States | 491 | The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice that on May 19, 2000, Canada requested consultations with the United States under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement),... |
