4. Panel
Reports are counted as having been appealed where they are adopted as
upheld, modified, or reversed by an Appellate Body Report. The number of
Panel Reports appealed may differ from the number of Appellate Body
Reports because, for example, some Appellate Body Reports address more
than one Panel Report. |
5.
Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.
6. The Panel Reports in EC — Bananas III
(Ecuador), EC — Bananas III (Guatemala and Honduras), EC — Bananas III
(Mexico), and EC — Bananas III (US) are counted as a single Panel Report.
