The EU recalled that it had invited Indonesia to join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/mpia_e.htm\">the  multi-party interim appeal arrangement (MPIA)<\/a> so that both parties can preserve their rights to a binding resolution  of trade disputes despite the blockage of appointments to the Appellate Body.\u00a0 The MPIA is a contingent measure to safeguard  the right to appeal in the absence of a functioning Appellate Body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Given the ongoing lack of agreement among WTO  members regarding the filling of Appellate Body vacancies, there is no  Appellate Body Division available at the current time to deal with the appeal  in the dispute concerning countervailing duties imposed by the European Union  on imports of biodiesel from Indonesia. Further information will be available  within the next few days in document\u00a0WT\/DS618\/5. <\/p>\n<h3><a class=\"dsnumber clean-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds611_e.htm\">DS611<\/a>:\u00a0China \u2014  Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights<\/h3>\n<p>China informed the DSB it has fully complied  with the rulings and recommendations contained in the arbitration award in the  appeal proceedings initiated by the EU via the MPIA. China said nevertheless  that the MPIA award was deeply concerning in its interpretation of WTO  agreements.<\/p>\n<p>The EU said it welcomed the ruling. It said  the MPIA proceedings demonstrated that dispute settlement can be conducted  swiftly and efficiently while fully preserving the procedural rights of  parties. The EU said based on information available at this stage, it cannot  yet share the view that China has fully implemented the arbitration award.<\/p>\n<p>Australia, Canada, Japan and the United  Kingdom &#8211; third parties to the dispute &#8211; echoed the EU in saying that the  arbitration award demonstrates the effectiveness of the MPIA.<\/p>\n<h2>Appellate Body  appointments<\/h2>\n<p>Colombia, speaking on behalf of 130 members,  introduced for the 90th time the group&#8217;s proposal to start the selection  processes for filling vacancies on the Appellate Body. The extensive number of  members submitting the proposal reflects a common interest in the functioning  of the Appellate Body and, more generally, in the functioning of the WTO&#8217;s  dispute settlement system, Colombia said.<\/p>\n<p>The United States said it does not support  the proposed decision and said it continued to reflect on the extent to which  it is possible to achieve such a reformed WTO dispute settlement system that  advances US interests while preserving US sovereignty. The US highlighted its  active participation in WTO dispute settlement but said there was a lack of  effective outcomes for its industries, noting delays, non-compliance and  unsatisfactory measures, leading it to explore alternative tools to address  stakeholder concerns.<\/p>\n<p>More than 20 members took the floor to  comment, two speaking on behalf of a group of members. Several members urged  others to consider joining the\u00a0MPIA.<\/p>\n<p>Colombia, on behalf of the 130 members, said  it regretted that for the 90th occasion members have not been able to launch  the selection processes. Ongoing conversations about reform of the dispute  settlement system should not prevent the Appellate Body from continuing to  operate fully, and members shall comply with their obligation under the Dispute  Settlement Understanding to fill the vacancies as they arise, Colombia said for  the group.<\/p>\n<h2>Dispute settlement  reform<\/h2>\n<p>The DSB Chair, Ambassador Clare Kelly (New  Zealand),\u00a0reported on her informal consultations on dispute settlement  reform, adding that General Council Chair Ambassador Saqer Abdullah Almoqbel  (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) is of the view that they both should start formal,  joint consultations with the membership after the October General Council meeting  to build on these informal consultations.<\/p>\n<h2>Surveillance of implementation <\/h2>\n<p>The EU presented it status report with  regard to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds600_e.htm\">DS600<\/a> &#8220;European Union and  Certain Member States \u2013 Certain Measures Concerning Palm Oil and Oil Palm  Crop-Based Biofuels&#8221; and\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds291_e.htm\">DS291<\/a>,  &#8220;EC \u2014 Measures Affecting the Approval and Marketing of Biotech  Products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The United States presented status  reports with regard to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds184_e.htm\">DS184<\/a>,  &#8220;US \u2014 Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from  Japan&#8221;,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds160_e.htm\">DS160<\/a>,  &#8220;United States \u2014 Section 110(5) of US Copyright Act&#8221;, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds464_e.htm\">DS464<\/a>,  &#8220;United States \u2014 Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Measures on Large  Residential Washers from Korea&#8221;, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds471_e.htm\">DS471<\/a>,  &#8220;United States \u2014 Certain Methodologies and their Application to  Anti-Dumping Proceedings Involving China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia presented its status reports  in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds477_e.htm\">DS477<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/tratop_e\/dispu_e\/cases_e\/ds478_e.htm\">DS478<\/a>,  &#8220;Indonesia \u2014 Importation of Horticultural Products, Animals and Animal  Products.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Next meeting<\/h2>\n<p>The next regular DSB meeting will take place on 24 October 2025.        <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h3\">Share<\/h2>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p> <!-- end of share button --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>#WTO #News #items<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DS618:\u00a0European Union \u2014 Countervailing Duties on Imports of Biodiesel from Indonesia Indonesia expressed regret that the EU decided to appeal the panel&#8217;s findings before a non-functioning Appellate Body.
