SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Binational Panel AD/CVD Reviews
Under the NAFTA
Article 1904 of the NAFTA provides
that a party involved in an AD/CVD
proceeding may obtain review by a
binational panel of a final AD/CVD
determination of one NAFTA Party with
respect to the products of another
NAFTA Party. Binational panels decide
whether AD/CVD determinations are in
accordance with the domestic laws of
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
55447
the importing NAFTA Party using the
standard of review that would have
been applied by a domestic court of the
importing NAFTA Party. A panel may
uphold the AD/CVD determination, or
may remand it to the national
administering authority for action not
inconsistent with the panel’s decision.
Panel decisions may be reviewed in
specific circumstances by a threemember extraordinary challenge
committee, selected from a separate
roster composed of 15 current or former
judges.
Article 1903 of the NAFTA provides
that a NAFTA Party may refer an
amendment to the AD/CVD statutes of
another NAFTA Party to a binational
panel for a declaratory opinion as to
whether the amendment is inconsistent
with the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT), the GATT
Antidumping or Subsidies Codes,
successor agreements, or the object and
purpose of the NAFTA with regard to
the establishment of fair and predictable
conditions for the liberalization of trade.
If the panel finds that the amendment is
inconsistent, the two NAFTA Parties
must consult and seek to achieve a
mutually satisfactory solution.
2. Roster and Composition of Binational
Panels
Annex 1901.2 of the NAFTA provides
for the maintenance of a roster of at least
75 individuals for service on Chapter 19
binational panels, with each NAFTA
Party selecting at least 25 individuals. A
separate five-person panel is formed for
each review of a final AD/CVD
determination or statutory amendment.
To form a panel, the two NAFTA Parties
involved each appoint two panelists,
normally by drawing upon individuals
from the roster. If the Parties cannot
agree upon the fifth panelist, one of the
Parties, decided by lot, selects the fifth
panelist from the roster. The majority of
individuals on each panel must consist
of lawyers in good standing, and the
chair of the panel must be a lawyer.
When there is a request to establish a
panel, roster members from the two
involved NAFTA Parties will complete
a disclosure form that is used to identify
possible conflicts of interest or
appearances thereof. The disclosure
form requests information regarding
financial interests and affiliations,
including information regarding the
identity of clients of the roster member
and, if applicable, clients of the roster
member’s firm.
