Chile - Price Band System and Safeguard Measures Relating to Certain Agricultural Products - Notification of an Appeal by Chile under paragraph 4 of Article 16 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU)

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).
