Summary
INTRODUCTION
On 21 December 2000, Brazil requested consultations with the European Communities pursuant to Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (the “DSU”), Article XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (the “GATT 1994”) and Article 17 of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (the “Anti-Dumping Agreement”) concerning the EC anti-dumping measures imposed in respect of imports of malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings from Brazil. The European Communities and Brazil held consultations on 7 February 2001, but failed to settle the dispute.
On 7 June 2001, Brazil requested the establishment of a panel pursuant to Article XXIII of the GATT 1994, Article 17 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article 6 of the DSU.
At its meeting on 24 July 2001, the Dispute Settlement Body (the “DSB”) established a Panel in accordance with Article 6 of the DSU to examine the matter referred to the DSB by Brazil in document WT/DS219/2. At that meeting, the parties to the dispute also agreed that the Panel should have standard terms of reference. The terms of reference are, therefore, the following:
“To examine, in the light of the relevant provisions of the covered agreements cited by Brazil in document WT/DS219/2, the matter referred to the DSB by Brazil in that document and to make such findings as will assist the DSB in making the recommendations or in giving the rulings provided for in those agreements”.
On 5 September 2001, the parties agreed to the following composition of the Panel:
Chairman: Mr. Maamoun Abdel-Fattah
Members: Ms. Deborah Milstein
Mr. G. Bruce Cullen
Chile, Japan, Mexico and the United States reserved their rights to participate in the Panel proceedings as third parties.
The Panel met with the parties on 4-5 December 2001 and 11-12 June 2002. It met with the third parties on 5 December 2001.
