Case
DS 176:
United States — Section 211 Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1998
The
United States said it intended to comply and would require for that
purpose a reasonable period of time. The European Communities said that
the US should comply as soon as possible. They added that they were
willing to discuss with the US the period of time.

Case
DS 222:
Canada — Export credits and loan guarantees for regional aircraft
The DSB adopted the panel report. Brazil said that it acknowledged with
satisfaction that Canada had been found to provide prohibited export
subsidies to support the export of aircraft. Brazil added that it was an
important step in restoring the level playing field in the aircraft
sector. Finally, Brazil said it hoped that bilateral efforts in the search
of a mutually satisfactory solution would be successful.
Canada said that despite its reservations about certain
aspects of the panel's report, it believed that it was preferable to seek
a solution through negotiation rather than through continued WTO
litigation. Canada added that on 8 February 2002 senior Canadian and
Brazilian negotiators met and that they had agreed to resume negotiations
in April.
The EC and the US expressed concern about the panel's
conclusions on the relationship between the WTO's Subsidies Agreement and
the OECD arrangement on export credits.
