Indonesia – Importation of Horticultural
Products,
Animals and Animal Products
Request to Join Consultations
Communication from Australia
The following communication, dated 26 May 2014, from the delegation of Australia to the delegation of Indonesia, the delegation of New Zealand and to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.
_______________
Pursuant to Article 4.11 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the
Settlement of Disputes (DSU), Australia notifies the Government of
the Republic of Indonesia that, in light of the substantial trade interest of
Australia, it desires to be joined in Indonesia's consultations with the New
Zealand pursuant to the communication entitled Indonesia
– Importation of Horticultural Products, Animals and Animal Products
circulated to WTO Members on 15 May 2014 (WT/DS477/1).
Australia
appreciated the opportunity to participate as a third party in the previous
consultations (for DS466) held in Jakarta on 23 September 2013. Australia has substantial trade and
commercial interests in this matter as a significant exporter of horticultural
products, animals and animal products to Indonesia. In 2013, Indonesia was estimated to be
Australia's third largest agricultural market, with exports totalling
A$2.7 billion. In that year,
Australia was Indonesia's main source of live cattle (A$361 million), its
largest supplier of beef imports (A$169 million) and its fourth largest
supplier of horticultural products (A$75 million).
Mindful
of the rights and obligations of WTO Members under Article 4.11 of the DSU,
Australia looks forward to receiving your reply, and advice of the date and
venue of the consultations.
