-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of the United States Trade Representative 
(``USTR'') is providing notice that members of the public have an 
opportunity to view the non-confidential session of the second 
substantive meeting of the World Trade Organization (``WTO'') in the 
dispute European Communities and Certain Member States--Measures 
Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (WT/DS316). At the session, 
parties will make their opening statements and may pose questions or 
make comments on the other party's statement. The United States does 
not expect the Panel to pose any questions or make any comments during 
the session. The session will be videotaped. At an appropriate time 
after the session is over, the Panel will confirm that no business 
confidential information was referenced during the session. Public 
viewing of the videotape will occur after the conclusion of the second 
substantive meeting, which will take place July 24-26, 2007. In the 
case of the first panel meeting, the viewing was held the day after the 
panel meeting concluded, so the viewing could be as

public viewing, USTR will post that information on its Web site at 
www.ustr.gov. The public viewing will be held at the World Trade 
Organization, Centre William Rappard, Rue de Lausanne 154, CH--1211 
Geneva 21, Switzerland.
    USTR invites any person interested in viewing the non-confidential 
session to so inform USTR by e-mail at [email protected]. USTR 
urges that the request be made as soon as possible and in any event no 
later than July 20. Requests will be forwarded to the WTO. Each request 
should indicate the person's full name, contact information (full 
address, phone, and e-mail), organization (if any), and nationality, 
and whether the person has made any other request to view the session 
(such as a request directly to the WTO or to the other party to the 
dispute, the European Communities).
