In other cases the restrictive measure, which constituted the subject of the original Uruguayan recourses to Article XXIII and the recommendations, would soon be removed (notably the quantitative restrictions on beef and preserved meat of EEC countries which are to be removed on 1 November 1964).
This had been due to the unwillingness of the Uruguayan Government to claim that there was infringement of GATT provisions or otherwise to demonstrate the grounds for the invocation of the procedures relating to nullification and impairment.
The Uruguayan delegation shared the view of the Panel that the instructions of the Council, noted in paragraph 9 above, were not intended to, and could not, amend the express provisions of the General Agreement.

 ARS | Publication request: Forage Yield, Nutritive Value, and Grazing Tolerance of Dallisgrass Biotypes
Plots of both common and Uruguayan dallisgrass were planted into an unimproved pasture at Jeanerette, LA and grazed with cattle to determine if the cattle preferred one grass over the other and to determine how they persisted under grazing.
Six superior accessions of the Uruguayan biotype and common dallisgrass were evaluated for 3 years under a grazing management system at Jeanerette, LA. After 2 yr of rotational grazing, an average of 90% of the Uruguayan and only 53% of the common stands survived.
Because the yield and persistence of the Uruguayan biotype was consistently superior to that of common, Uruguayan dallisgrass should provide livestock producers in the southeastern USA with a viable alternative to common dallisgrass.

American attorneys for jailed Uruguayan banker Juan Peirano Basso argued Tuesday against extraditing him for alleged bank fraud, contending he is the victim of a political vendetta.

Agriculture played such an important part in Uruguayan history and national identity until the middle of the 20th century that the entire country was then sometimes likened to a single huge estancia (agricultural estate) with Montevideo, where the wealth generated in the hinterland was spent, as its casco or administrative head.
Most Uruguayans adhere to the Roman Catholic faith (66%), with smaller Protestant (2%) and Jewish and Armenian Christian (1%) communities, as well as a large nonprofessing group (31%).

Yet the Uruguayan government has given no indication that the construction of either mill will be stalled.

 IMF Questions Uruguayan Movement in Defense of Water- Social and Economic Policy - Global Policy Forum
The article published in La República stated that awareness of the agreements made between the Uruguayan government and the IMF prompted the campaign of the National Commission in Defense of Water and Life, which resulted in the proposal of a Constitutional Reform to be voted on as part of the national elections next 31st October.
The IMF responded that said declarations are “untrue” since “financial aid that the IMF provided to Uruguay is not subject to any guarantee to ensure payment.” However, going over the contents of the letter of intent signed in June 2002, it seems that it clearly contradicts what the IMF’s resident representative in Uruguay is saying.
Therefore, in the case of the IMF there is not only a change in regulating the water sector but also the provision of a legal-administrative mechanism through which this new regulating framework will become effective, a decree of the Executive Branch.
