Appellate Body report adopted
DS58: United States ?Import prohibition of certain shrimp and shrimp products
At its meeting on 22 November, the DSB adopted the Appellate Body's report which upholds the panel findings that the measure applied by the United States is justified because it does not constitute arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination as long as the ongoing serious, good faith efforts to reach a multilateral agreement for the protection and conservation of sea turtles remain satisfied.
DS132:
Mexico ?Anti-dumping investigation of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
from the United States
The DSB adopted the Appellate Body's report which concluded that Mexico's revised determination imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of HFCS from the United States is inconsistent with the Anti-Dumping Agreement.
