The final report in Turkey – Measures Affecting the Importation of Rice ("Turkey – Rice"),
WT/DS334/R, was circulated to Members on 21 September 2007. While the United States is pleased
with the overall result of this dispute, it would like to take this opportunity to highlight one aspect of
the report that has systemic implications1 that the United States believes should be of concern to
Members: the inclusion by a panel of findings not requested by either party and that neither party had
a chance to review in the interim report.
