Indonesia submits this report pursuant to  Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules and Proced ures 
Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU).  
On 22 November 2017, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted the recommendations and 
rulings in respect of the panel and Appellate Body reports in "Indonesia – Importation of Horticultural 
Products, Animal s and Animal Products " (WT/DS477/DS478). In  the DSB meeting on 
28 February  2018, Indonesia informed the DSB that it intended to implement the 
DSB recommendations and rulings in these dispute s, but that it would need reasonable period of 
time to do so.  
Pursuant to Article 21.3 (b) of the DSU, Indonesia , New Zealand and the United States have 
mutually  agreed on the reasonable period of time to implement the DSB recommendations and 
rulings that e xpired on 22 July 2018. Nevertheless, with regard to the DSB’ s recommendations 
and rulings concerning Measure 18, Indonesia, New Zealand and the United States 
also have mutually  agreed that Indonesia will have more time to make statutory changes 
to comply  with the DSB recommendations and rulings in these dispute s. Accordingly, 
New Zealand  and the United  States will not initiate further proceedings concerning Measure 18 until 
at least 22 June 2019.  
In order to comply with the recommendations and rulings of t he DSB, Indonesia is continuing its 
efforts to improve the importation system as well as to adjust the relevant regulations and the laws. 
These efforts include intensive discussions and meetings with relevant stakeholders aimed to gather 
inputs that contri bute to meet the full compliance in these disputes.  
Indonesia thanks New Zealand and the United States for having bilateral engagement. Indonesia 
will continue this effort and engagement to resolve these disputes.
