Enter search criteria in one or more fields to select disputes with specific criteria, then scroll down for search results. (See additional search instructions and explanatory notes.) Note that to use the date fields, you must enter the year, month and day. Click on the column headings to sort table by a specific column. Because WTO panel reports can be quite long, we have created an abbreviated version of each report, with the parties' arguments/descriptive part/annexes deleted. The main link for each panel report is to the abbreviated version. To view the full report, click on the Full Report link in the Full Report column. The total number of reports is indicated at the bottom of the table (as the number of Records). The number is recalculated each time a search is performed. The link to each report is in PDF format. To view the PDF files, you will need the free Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded from Adobe.

Search Instructions                    /         Back to search form

• Search criteria are cumulative, i.e., where multiple criteria are used, the search will find reports where all the criteria match.

Explanatory Notes

• This list contains both normal disputes and Article 21.5 compliance disputes, the latter indicated by "Article 21.5" in the dispute name.

• In the India - Autos dispute, the panel report was appealed, but the appeal was later withdrawn.  The AB report does not contain any substantive findings, and simply summarizes the procedural aspects of the dispute that occurred prior to withdrawal.

• Five panel reports that have been circulated contain no findings, and simply report that a mutually agreed solution was reached: EC - Butter, EC - Scallops (Complaint by Canada), EC - Scallops (Complaint by Chile/Peru), Japan - Laver Quotas and U.S. - DRAMS, Article 21.5.  For these cases, the main link is to the full panel report.

• For several disputes, multiple panel reports were issued.  For these disputes, the table lists each of the reports individually.

• In the U.S. - Steel Safeguards (2003) dispute, the panel issued eight separate panel reports in one single document. (See para. 10.725.  "... the Panel decides to issue its Reports in the form of one document constituting eight Panel Reports. For WTO purposes, this document is deemed to be eight separate reports, each of the reports relating to each one of the eight complainants in this dispute.  ... This single document ... contains a common set of Findings in relation to each of the claims that the Panel has decided to address.")

• In the Canada - Wheat (2004) dispute, the panel issued two separate panel reports in one single document. (See para. 6.2: "In response to a question posed by the Panel, the parties indicated that they did not wish the two Panels to issue separate reports in separate documents. The two Panels saw no compelling reason to proceed differently and therefore decided to issue their separate Reports in the form of a single document.")

• In the EC - Biotech Products (2006) dispute, the panel issued three separate panel reports in one single document. (See para. 7.6: "... we decided to prepare and issue one single document constituting three separate panel reports.")

• In the China - Auto Parts (2008) dispute, the panel issued three separate panel reports in one single document. (See para. 2.7).

• In the Panelists column, the first name listed is the Chairperson of the panel.  The next two names are the two other Members of the panel.

• For those reports that have been adopted, Adoption Date provides the date the report was adopted by the DSB.  Please note that the date on the cover page of the report itself is the Circulation Date.

• The "Agreements" column indicates which of the covered agreements were the subject of findings and conclusions by the panel.  The full titles of the abbreviations used above are:
