Consultations

Complaint by Colombia.

On 17 January 2000, Colombia requested consultations with Nicaragua in respect of Nicaragua’s Law 325 of 1999, which provides for the imposition of charges on goods and services from Honduras and Colombia, as well as regulatory Decree 129-99. Colombia claimed that these measures are inconsistent, inter alia, with Articles I and II of GATT 1994.

 

Panel and Appellate Body proceedings

Further to Colombia’s request, the DSB established a panel at its meeting of 18 May 2000. Canada, Costa Rica, the EC, Honduras and the US reserved their third-party rights. This panel has not yet been composed.
