Q71.
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words
have been printed in bold to help you locate them, while answering some of the questions.
Formal dispute settlement at the WTO is a last-resort option. Many di erences between
Members are unlikely ever to become an issue at the WTO, and even if they do, they will not
necessarily trigger formal dispute settlement procedures. Some issues are settled at the
committee level or defused in that context. The WTO Secretariat cannot challenge any Member.
It has no right to prosecute. It is up to governments to decide whether or not to bring a dispute
against another government to the WTO. And it is also entirely up to the complainant to argue
its case. The dispute is only between governments, and only about alleged failures to comply
with WTO agreements or commitments.
Settling disputes is the responsibility of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). The DSB has sole
authority to establish panels of experts to consider the case, and to adopt the panels ndings
or the results of an appeal. It monitors the implementation of the rulings and
recommendations of panels and the Appellate Body, and has the power to authorize retaliation
when a country does not comply with a ruling.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is a relatively new international organization. However, it
is responsible for a system that is over 50 years old. Established on 1 January 1995, the WTO
replaced the General Agreement on Tari s and Trade (GATT), which dated back to 1948. One of
the most profound changes introduced by the transition from GATT to WTO in 1995 was the
agreement to implement a dispute settlement process that would be speedier and more
automatic, with xed deadlines. This Agreement is set out in the WTO Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (the Dispute Settlement Understanding
or the DSU). It is more automatic in the sense that the dispute settlement process, including
the adoption of the nal panel report and the authorization of sanctions in case of non-
compliance, can only be blocked if there is a consensus to do so (sometimes referred to as
reversed consensus). Previously, under the GATT, it took a consensus among all countries to
adopt the report hence the losing party to the dispute could always block an unfavourable
ruling.
In a rst stage, the DSU requires countries in dispute to consult with each other to see if they
can settle their di erences by themselves (for at least 60 days). Parties can also agree to ask the
WTO Director-General to mediate. Mediation, conciliation and good o ces may be requested
at any time in parallel to the dispute settlement process. If the consultations between the
parties fail, the complaining country can ask for a panel to be appointed.
Panels resemble arbitral tribunals, the composition of which is normally also under the control
of the parties to the dispute. Only if the two sides cannot agree does the WTO director-general
appoint them. Panels consist of three (occasionally ve) experts from di erent countries, who
examine the evidence. Panel and Appellate Body ndings have to be based on the agreements
cited and should normally be given to the parties to the dispute within nine months from the
establishment of the panel.
In general, after two hearings with the parties (and technical experts, if necessary), the panel
submits the descriptive sections of its report (facts and arguments) for comments to the
parties. This is followed by an interim report also submitted to the parties for review, and
then, the nal report, which is rst submitted to the parties and then later circulated to all WTO
Members. Subsequently, the nal report is passed to the DSB, which can only reject the report
by consensus. The report becomes the DSBs ruling or recommendation within 60 days and is
posted on the WTO website.
Panel reports can be appealed. The Appellate Body can hear on appeal only points of law
decided by panels. Generally, the Appellate Body is not allowed to review facts of the case, as
determined by the panel, or examine any evidence. Each appeal is heard by three members of
a quasi-permanent seven-member Appellate Body set up by the DSB. The Appellate Body can
uphold, modify or reverse the panels legal ndings and conclusion, and proceedings should
normally not last more than 90 days. When a case has been appealed, the DSB has to adopt the
reports of the Appellate Body and of the panel (as amended, reversed or upheld) within 30
days from the circulation of the Appellate Body report; rejection is only possible by consensus.
The Dispute Settlement Understanding stresses that prompt compliance with
recommendations or rulings of the DSB is essential in order to ensure e ective resolution of
disputes to the bene t of all Members. If a country is found to be at fault with the rules, it is
expected to promptly correct the measure at issue. Moreover, it must state its intention to do
so at a DSB meeting held within 30 days of the reports adoption. If immediate compliance with
the recommendation proves impractical, the country will be allowed a reasonable period of
time. If it fails to act within this period, it has to enter into negotiations with the complaining
country (or countries) in order to determine temporary compensation for instance, tari
reductions in areas of particular interest to the complaining side. There is no nancial
compensation. If no satisfactory compensation is agreed, the complaining side may ask the
DSB for permission to impose limited trade sanctions (suspend concessions or obligations)
against the other side. If requested the DSB must grant this authorization WTO Arbitration on
the level of such sanctions can also be requested if the parties do not agree.
The DSB monitors how adopted rulings are implemented, and any outstanding case remains
on its agenda until the issue is resolved.
