Complaint by the United States.

This request, dated 10 November 1997, is in respect of Australia’s alleged prohibited subsidies provided to its producers and exporters of automotive leather.

At its meeting on 22 January 1998, the DSB established a panel in accordance with the accelerated procedure under the Subsidies Agreement.
