Recommendations are issued by the committee.The Appellate Body now has four vacancies and normally has seven members, with two other members due to leave in December.The United States again said it could not agree to the joint proposal.As explained in previous meetings, the U.S. says it has identified systemic issues that remain unresolved.These concerns include appellate rulings outside the text of WTO rules in areas such as subsidies, anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties, trade standards and technical barriers, and safeguards.While appeals are limited to legal issues, the Appellate Body has also issued advisory opinions on issues not necessary to resolve the dispute and reviewed the panel’s fact-finding findings.In addition, the U.S. said the Appellate Body claimed that while WTO members have not yet agreed to the WTO’s system of precedents, the panel must abide by its ruling and has been ignoring the 90-day deadline for issuing its ruling.For more than a year, the United States has been calling on WTO members to correct the Appellate Body’s conduct, as if it had the power to allow former Appellate Body members to continue to rule on appeals beyond their terms.The US will continue to insist that the WTO dispute settlement mechanism follows WTO rules, and will continue to work hard to find solutions to these important issues.More than 20 WTO members have intervened on the matter.These members largely reiterated concerns expressed at previous DSB meetings that the Appellate Body would be largely inoperable given that the terms of two of the three remaining members of the Appellate Body will expire in December , the impasse is increasingly worrying; under Article 17.2 of the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding, members are obliged to fill Appellate Body vacancies as they arise; and, while they are prepared to engage in discussions to end the impasse, the question of filling vacancies and how to resolve them The issues of concern to the Appellate Body are separate issues and should not be linked.Many speakers welcomed the discussions as part of an informal process initiated by the General Council to overcome the impasse over the selection of Appellate Body members, and encouraged all members to actively participate in the deliberations.Recent Controversies The following controversies have recently been brought to the WTO.Click on the case (“DS”) number below to be taken to the WTO website page for details on this dispute.DS.No. Case Name Date DS578 Morocco – Tunisia’s Final Anti-dumping Measures on School Textbooks – Tunisia Requests Consultations 2/27/19 DSB Activities During the period covered by this update, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) or Dispute took the following actions or reports the following activities.(Click “DS” for case summaries, “Activity” for latest news or documents): International Trade Compliance Update is a publication of Baker McKenzie’s Global International Business and Trade Practice Group.
