上訴機構任命提案

Colombia, speaking on behalf of 130 members, introduced for the 98th time the group’s proposal to start the selection processes for filling vacancies on the Appellate Body (AB). 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’s dispute settlement system, Colombia said. 

The United States said that it does not support the proposed decision. The US reiterated that it has set out its fundamental concerns on WTO dispute settlement and that the proposal does not address those concerns. The US said a well-functioning dispute settlement system requires reform efforts and the proposal does not contribute to any reform objective.

Over 20 members then took the floor and reiterated their support for the joint proposal and for the urgent need to restore a fully functioning dispute settlement system. Several of the members that took the floor encouraged others to consider taking part in the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA), which provides the possibility of resorting to arbitration under Article 25 of the DSU in case of an appeal in disputes between any two or more participating members. The list of current members of the MPIA is available 這裡.

Colombia, on behalf of the 130 members, said it regretted that for the 98th 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 obligations under the DSU  to fill the vacancies as they arise, Colombia said for the group. 

爭端解決改革

The Chair convened an informal meeting after the regular DSB meeting to take stock of members’ positions on dispute settlement reform, particularly on their views on the technical work done previously. Before the informal meeting, the Chair said he held consultations with 20 delegations. 

Around 40 delegations, including those representing groups of members, took the floor at the meeting. The Chair, closing the meeting, noted that members provided a wealth of information on both substantive and procedural issues. He said he is continuing to monitor the situation to ensure the issue of dispute settlement reform is not overlooked, particularly during a period when the system is not fully operational. 

The Chair said he will provide a report on the informal meeting and other consultations at the next DSB meeting.
