for Large Civil Aircraft
Communication from the Panel
The following communication,
dated 29 September 2015, was received from
the Chairperson of the Panel with the request that it be circulated to the
Dispute Settlement Body.
_______________
Article 12.9 of the DSU, read in
conjunction with Article 4 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures, provides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report
within 90 days, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing
accordingly and indicate the reasons, together with an estimate of the period
within which it will issue its report.
The Panel in this matter
(WT/DS487) was established by the DSB on 23 February 2015 and composed on 22
April 2015.
The beginning of the Panel's
work has been delayed as a result of a lack of available experienced lawyers in
the Secretariat. The Panel estimates that it will issue its report within the
period of 12 months from today.
