Trade Representative, Office of United States
The United States Trade Representative (USTR) has decided to suspend the application of tariff concessions and to impose a 100% ad valorem rate of duty on the articles described in the Annex to this notice that are the products of certain member States of the European Communities (EC) as a result of the EC's failure to implement the recommendations and rulings of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) concerning the EC's regime for the importation, sale and distribution of bananas (banana regime). This action constitutes the exercise of U.S. rights under Article 22.6 of the WTO Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU) and is taken pursuant to the authority granted to the USTR under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
