Status Report Regarding Implementation of the

Recommendations and Rulings of the DSB in

United States – Anti‑Dumping Act of 1916

(WT/DS136 and WT/DS162)

 

 

            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 26 September 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted its recommendations and rulings in United States ‑ Anti‑Dumping Act of 1916.  At the following DSB meeting on 23 October 2000, the United States informed the DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB.  At that time, the United States also advised the DSB that the United States required a reasonable period of time to complete this process.  On 28 February 2001, an arbitrator determined that 10 months was a reasonable period of time for implementation, and that period was to expire on 26 July 2001.  Thereafter, the United States proposed that the reasonable period of time be modified so as to expire on 31 December 2001, or on the date on which the current session of the US Congress adjourns, whichever is earlier.  Neither the European Communities nor Japan objected to this proposal, and it was approved by the DSB at its meeting on 24 July 2001.
