6.7 The United States proposes a change to the third sentence of paragraph 7.30, which is a
sentence summarizing one of Korea's submissions. In particular, the United States objects to the
statement that "Members" expect panels to follow Appellate Body conclusions. The United States
argues that neither Korea's submission nor the underlying quote from US – Oil Country Tubular
Goods Sunset Reviews states who it is that expects panels to follow Appellate Body conclusions. The
Panel accepts that the third sentence of paragraph 7.30 may slightly misrepresent Korea's submission
and therefore the Panel has amended it.
6.8 The United States requests a change to the second sentence of paragraph 7.31 to reflect the
fact that Korea's submission does not focus on adopted Appellate Body reports as creating legitimate
expectations, to the exclusion of panel reports. The United States also notes that the Panel in this
dispute relies upon a number of panel reports to support its reasoning. Similarly, the United States
requests that the first sentence of paragraph 7.34 of the Interim Report be amended to reflect the fact
that the Panel has considered panel as well as Appellate Body reports in reaching its findings. The
Panel has amended the second sentence of paragraph 7.31 in the manner suggested by the
United States in recognition of the fact that both panel and Appellate Body reports may create
legitimate expectations among Members. The Panel has also modified paragraph 7.34.
6.9 The United States requests that the final sentence of paragraph 7.34 be amended as follows:
"This is because the USDOC did not calculate the dumping margins on the basis of the "product as a
whole" and did not take into account all comparable export transactions when calculating the dumping
margins at issue". The United States argues that the phrase "product as a whole" is not found in the
text of the covered agreement, but was derived from the Appellate Body's integrated interpretation of
"margins of dumping" and "all comparable export transactions". Therefore, the phrase "product as a
whole" has the same textual basis as "all comparable export transactions" and is redundant. The Panel
has rephrased the sentence as requested by the United States so that it reflects the terminology used in
Article 2.4.2 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement.
6.10 Finally, the United States proposes a number of typographical changes and a change to the
manner in which three of Korea's exhibits are cited. The Panel has made the changes requested by the
United States.
