Status Report regarding implementation of
the dsb recommendations and rulings
by Indonesia

Addendum

The following communication, dated 15 January 2025, from the delegation of Indonesia to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.

_______________

Indonesia reports to the DSB regarding the implementation of rulings and recommendations of the dispute DS477/DS478 in accordance with Article 21.6 of the DSU.

Indonesia would like to reiterate its commitment in implementing the Panel and the Appellate Body's findings regarding disputed measures by enacting laws and regulations that subsequently eliminate self-sufficiency requirements and removing harvest period restrictions, import realization requirements, six-month harvest period requirements, reference prices, and domestic purchasing requirements.

Indonesia took note of the complainants' concern in the previous meetings and would like to further reassure that existing and future importation regimes are aimed to facilitating trade without creating unnecessary burdens and are in line with the WTO provisions.

Against this background, Indonesia remains willing to work constructively with New Zealand and the United States in order to discuss mutually acceptable solutions to resolve this long-standing dispute.
