Summary
United States – Certain Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) Requirements
AB-2012-3
Procedural Ruling
On 5 April 2012, we received a joint communication from the participants in the above appellate proceedings. In that letter, Canada and the United States request that we allow observation by the public of the oral hearing. Mexico indicates that it does not object to allowing such public observation of the hearing, but requests that we reflect in our report that its position in these proceedings is without prejudice to its systemic views on the matter.
Specifically, Canada and the United States jointly request that all WTO Members and the public be allowed to observe the statements and answers to questions of the participants and third participants that agree to make their statements and answers public. The participants observe that nothing in the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (the "DSU") or the Working Procedures for Appellate Review (the "Working Procedures") precludes the Appellate Body from authorizing public observation of the oral hearing. The participants also rely on the rulings by the Appellate Body in eight previous proceedings authorizing public observation of the oral hearing
