This paper concerns the purposes of WTO retaliation. There are two most competing purposes of WTO retaliation: inducing compliance and rebalancing. My paper introduces another purpose of retaliation that is reflected in the EC - Hormones dispute: inducing a mutually agreeable solution. In May 2009 the European Union and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) implementing an agreement that promises to end the long-standing dispute on hormone-treated beef. The memorandum sets up three phases in which the European Union would get to maintain its ban on the import of hormone-treated beef, but concurrently would provide a new tariff-free import quota for high-quality beef from the United States. In return, the United States would reduce and terminate its retaliatory measures on certain European Union exports. Accordingly, retaliatory sanctions imposed by the United States would be terminated not because the European Union has removed its inconsistent measures, but because both states have reached and agreed upon a mutually satisfactory settlement. Put differently, retaliation measures imposed by the United States do not induce the withdrawal of the inconsistent measures (compliance) but a mutually agreeable solution. The questions are does the DSU contemplate this purpose? Does this kind of purpose undermine the WTO dispute settlement system? My paper provides four primary arguments to promote the purpose of inducing a mutually agreeable solution: (1) WTO retaliation has multiple purposes; (2) Articles 22.8 and 3.7 of the DSU provide a legal basis for this purpose [inducing a mutually agreeable solution]; (3) this purpose supports the aim of the WTO dispute settlement system stipulated under Article 3.2 of the DSU (security and predictability); and (4) this purpose is the best alternative or option to settle the dispute when the purpose of inducing compliance is not attainable.

As economic populism and protectionism increasingly threatens the global trade order, this book examines the behavior of World Trade Organization (WTO) members at the judicial arm of the WTO—the dispute settlement mechanism (DSM). The author explores why and when governments cooperate at the WTO and comply with the ruling of its panels, focusing on how the growth of global value chains through the internationalization of trade and production has increased the importance of both trade liberalization and supra-national governance and policy-making. Finding that domestic organized interests—i.e. firms and sectors—mobilize and lobby national governments to change their domestic policies to better harmonize with their international trade commitments, the author outlines how the time it takes to comply with adverse WTO rulings is shorter when the potential domestic costs of non-compliance outweigh protectionist interests. The author’s innovative research design highlights the conditions under which the WTO can preserve the rules of international trade and support a more open, global economy.

The review of the dispute settlement system of the WTO was written into the results of the Uruguay Round establishing the organization. The planned review after four years failed to reach a conclusion and the review process was extended several times, to be finally taken up as a separate part of the Doha Round.

In the past, the European Court of Justice has strongly favoured not intervening in any way in the international process of dispute resolution and has denied the direct effect of WTO law at the expense of judicial enforcement of WTO rules. This article discusses the Court's recent extension of this well-established case law in the context of an action for compensation brought by companies subjected to retaliatory measures authorized by the DSB. The analysis focuses on the Court's interpretation of the binding nature of the Dispute Settlement Understanding (“DSU”) and the implications for the particular function an action for damages fulfils in the context of judicial protection under EC law. The Court's approach to considering the notion of direct effect as a criterion for an action for damages is questioned in light of the Court's own jurisprudence. The article concludes that the Court's well-established stance vis-à-vis WTO rules should not be upheld for the purposes of a claim for damages.

Although the U.S. has complied with adverse rulings in many past World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes, there are currently 14 cases in which rulings have not yet been implemented or the U.S. has acted and the dispute has not been fully resolved. Under WTO dispute settlement rules, a WTO Member will generally be given a reasonable period of time to comply. While the Member is expected to remove the offending measure by the end of this period, compensation and temporary retaliation are available if the Member has not acted or not taken adequate remedial action by this time. Either disputing party may request a compliance panel if there is disagreement over whether a Member has complied in a case. Nine unresolved cases involve trade remedies, including a long-standing dispute with Japan over a provision of U.S. antidumping (AD) law and another with various WTO Members over the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000. The Offset Act was repealed as of October 2005, but remains the target of sanctions by the European Union (EU) and Japan due to continued payments to U.S. firms authorized under the repealer (P.L. 109-171). Six of these cases involve “zeroing,” a practice under which the Department of Commerce (DOC), in calculating dumping margins in AD proceedings, disregards non-dumped sales. The practice was challenged by the EU (DS294/DS350), Japan (DS322), and Mexico (DS344), resulting in broad prohibitions on its use. The U.S. administratively resolved one aspect of DS294 by abandoning zeroing in original AD investigations, but has yet to comply fully either in this case or in DS350, 322, or 344, leading the EU (in DS294) and Japan to request the WTO to authorize sanctions. Under memoranda signed by the U.S. with each complainant February 2012, however, U.S.-requested arbitration of the two sanctions proposals has been suspended while the U.S. makes new dumping determinations in challenged AD proceedings using a methodology finalized in March 2012 that eliminates zeroing in later stages of AD cases. The sanctions arbitrations will be terminated once implementation of the new determinations is complete. A compliance panel report in Mexico's zeroing dispute has not yet been publicly circulated. The U.S. was expected to comply by March 2012, in Brazil's zeroing challenge (DS382), but it is unclear if recent U.S. action will resolve the dispute. A July 2012, deadline is in place in the dispute with Vietnam (DS404). The U.S. is expected to comply by April 2012, in China's challenge to U.S. countervailing duties imposed on Chinese goods (DS379). Panel and Appellate Body reports were adopted in the EU's successful challenge of U.S. aircraft subsidies March 2012 (DS353) (“Boeing” case), and the U.S. is expected to comply by September 2012. In Brazil's dispute over U.S. cotton subsidies (DS267), Congress repealed a WTO-inconsistent cotton program in 2006 (P.L. 109-171), but other programs were also successfully challenged and the U.S. was found not to have fully complied. The U.S. later made statutory and administrative changes to the export credit guarantee program faulted in the case. While the WTO has authorized Brazil to retaliate, the U.S. and Brazil signed an agreement in June 2010 aimed at permanently resolving the dispute. It includes Brazil's pledge not to impose sanctions during the life of the agreement and foresees possible legislative resolution of the dispute in the 2012 farm bill. The U.S. and Antigua have been consulting on outstanding issues in Antigua's challenge of U.S. online gambling restrictions (DS285); compensation agreements between the U.S. and various WTO Members in exchange for U.S. withdrawal of its WTO gambling commitments, an action taken to resolve the case, will not enter into effect until issues with Antigua are settled. Also unsettled are long-pending disputes with the EU over a music copyright law (DS160) and a statutory trademark provision affecting property confiscated by Cuba (DS176).

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: A, Macquarie University, course: Law, language: English, abstract: The Dispute Settlement Procedure (DSP) embodied in the Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is a highly effective mechanism to ensure disputes are resolved in a reasonable period of time. However, it does not satisfactorily address the needs of developing countries to access the DSP. This could be reformed through financial and legal assistance for these countries. In addition, a more substantiated non-compliance clause could assist the timely resolution of disputes so as to not disrupt the free flow of international trade in goods and services, a key objective of the WTO system.
