“US – Supercalendered Paper” hearings opened to the public
At the request of the parties in the dispute “United States – Countervailing Measures on Supercalendered Paper from Canada” (DS505), the panel has decided to open to the public its first substantive meeting on 21 and 22 March 2017. The live screening will take place at the WTO’s headquarters in Geneva.
The meeting with the parties is scheduled to start at 9.30 on 21 March 2017 and may continue until 17.00. It will resume on 22 March, if necessary, after the third party session.
The third party session will take place at 10.00 on 22 March. The panel will commence this session by opening to public viewing the statements of some third parties. After this, the session will be closed to public viewing.
The meeting may be closed by the panel at any time to discuss business confidential information. The panel may also close the meeting to public viewing at any time, on its own initiative or at the request of either party, if there is a risk of breach of confidentiality or of disruption of the meeting.
The meeting will be held in English only; interpretation will not be available at the public viewing.
