Pursuant to Article 16 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures
Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU) and Rule 20 of the Working Procedures for Appellate Review,
Chile hereby notifies of its decision to appeal to the Appellate Body certain
issues of law covered in the Panel Report on Chile – Price Band System and Safeguard Measures Relating to Certain
Agricultural Products (WT/DS207/R) and certain legal interpretations
developed by the Panel in that Report.
Chile seeks review by the Appellate Body of certain Panel
conclusions which are in error and are based upon erroneous findings on issues
of law and on related legal interpretations.
(1) Chile
appeals the Panel's finding that the Chilean Price Band System (PBS) was
inconsistent with Article II:1(b), second sentence, of GATT 1994, on grounds
that such a finding was not within the Panel's mandate and was inconsistent
with Article 11 of the DSU, since Argentina requested no finding and made
no claim nor argument under the second sentence of Article II:1(b).
