Summary
8.1 The Panel issues its findings in the form of a single document containing three separate Reports with common sections on the Panel's findings and separate sections on the Panel's conclusions and recommendations for each complaining party. The Panel's findings incorporate the conclusions of its preliminary rulings, attached to these Reports as Annex F.

1. Conclusions
8.2 In respect of claims concerning export duties:
(a) The Panel finds that the application of export duties to certain forms of bauxite, coke, fluorspar, magnesium, manganese, silicon metal and zinc, by virtue of the series of measures at issue, is inconsistent with Paragraph 11.3 of China's Accession Protocol;
(b) The Panel finds that China may not seek to justify the application of export duties to forms of fluorspar pursuant to Article XX(g) of the GATT 1994. Even assuming arguendo that China could seek to justify the application of export duties, the Panel finds that China has not demonstrated that the application of export duties to forms of fluorspar is justified pursuant to Article XX(g) of the GATT 1994;
(c) The Panel finds that China may not seek to justify the application of export duties to forms of magnesium, manganese and zinc pursuant to Article XX(b) of the GATT 1994. Even assuming arguendo that China could seek to justify the application of export duties, the Panel finds that China has not demonstrated that the application of export duties to forms of magnesium, manganese and zinc is justified pursuant to Article XX(b) of the GATT 1994;
