Resumen
The United States Trade Representative ("Trade Representative") has decided to modify the action taken in July 1999 in connection with the World Trade Organization ("WTO") authorization to the United States in the EC-Beef Hormones dispute to suspend concessions and related obligations with respect to the European Communities ("EC"). In particular, as described in this notice and its annex, the Trade Representative has decided: (1) To remove some products from the list of products currently subject to 100 percent ad valorem duties; (2) to impose 100 percent ad valorem duties on some new products from certain EC member States; (3) to modify the coverage with respect to particular EC member States; and (4) to raise the level of duties on one of the products that is being maintained on the product list. The trade value of the products subject to the modified action continues not to exceed the $116.8 million per year level authorized by the WTO in July 1999.
