ON IMPORTS OF COLOUR TELEVISION RECEIVERS FROM KOREA
Communication from Korea
The following communication, dated 15 September 1998, from the Permanent Mission of the
Republic of Korea to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated at the request of
Korea.
_______________
In its communication dated 5 January 1998, Korea withdrew its request
dated 6 November 1997 for the establishment of a panel on United States – Imposition of Anti-
Dumping Duties on Imports of Colour Television Receivers (CTVs) from Korea (WT/DS89/8,15 January 1998).  This withdrawal was made in response to the United States' preliminary
determination of 19 December 1997 to revoke the anti-dumping duty order upon the fifth request filed
by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung) on 24 June 1996.
At the time of the withdrawal, Korea reserved the right to reintroduce the request for the
establishment of a panel in the event that the contents of the final determination by the United States
differed from those of the preliminary determination.  On 27 August 1998, the United States made afinal determination to revoke the anti-dumping duty order which had been imposed on Samsung since
1984.
In light of the fact that the above-mentioned determinations made by the United States have
resolved Korea's concern regarding this matter, Kor ea hereby notifies that it will not seek further
consideration of this matter by the Dispute Settlement Body.
