The EU also has requested establishment of panels to review China's measures regarding trade in goods and services, and China's enforcement of intellectual property rights.
Numerous countries, but not the U.S., will propose nominations for a list of governmental and nongovernmental panelists to serve on the DSB. The DSB is also scheduled to adopt its 2022 draft annual report. Much of the agenda is similar to the one for the Nov. 28 meeting (see 2211180037).
