PERU – TAX TREATMENT ON CERTAIN IMPORTED PRODUCTS
Communication from Chile
The following communication, dated 26 July 2002, from the Permanent Mission of Chile to
the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 6.2 of the DSU.
_______________
On the instructions of my Government, I am writing to ask that Chile's request for the
establishment of a Panel in the dispute Peru – Tax Treatment on Certain Imported Products
(WT/DS255/3) be withdrawn from the agenda of the next meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body to
be held on 29 July 2002.  The reason is that a legal reform will soon come into force into Peru that
would render the measure questioned by Chile without effect and so, ultimately, end the dispute.
My Government wishes to reserve its right to submit a second request at a future meeting of
the Dispute Settlement Body.
