In June 1998, Australia filed a notice of its intention to appeal the panel's decision to the WTO Appellate Body.[1] The Appellate Body report circulated in October 1998.[3] The Appellate Body reversed the panel with respect to its reasoning on Articles 5.1 and 2.2 of the SPS Agreement, but found that Australia "had acted inconsistently" with those sections.[3] The Appellate Body also broadened the panel's determination that Australia had acted inconsistently with Articles 5.5 and 2.3 of the SPS Agreement.[3] Finally the Appellate Body "reversed the panel's finding that Australia had acted inconsistently with Article 5.6 of the SPS Agreement but was unable to come to a conclusion whether or not Australia's measure was consistent with Article 5.6 due to insufficient factual findings by the panel."[3] The decision directed Australia not only to lift the ban on Canadian salmon, but also the quarantine requirements for several other species of fish.[2]
