NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 12.1(A) OF THE AGREEMENT  
ON SAFEGUARDS ON INITIATION OF AN INVESTIGATION  
AND THE REASONS FOR IT  
TUNISIA  
Wire of iron or non -alloy steel  
The following notification, dated 2 0 July 2 022 and received on 2 1 July 2 022, is being circulated at 
the request of the delegation of Tunisia.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Pursuant to Article 12.1(a) of the Agreement on Safeguards, Tunisia hereby notifies the Committee 
on Safeguards of the initiation of a safeguard investigation on impor ts of wire of iron or non -alloy 
steel used in the manufacture of upholstery springs.  
1  DATE OF INITIATION OF THE INVESTIGATION  
The investigation was initiated on 1 9 July 2 022 (date of publication of the notice of initiation in 
Official Journal of the Tunisia n Republic (JORT) No. 80 of 19  July 2 022).  
2  PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO THE INVESTIGATION  
The product subject to the investigation is wire of iron or non -alloy steel used in the manufacture of 
upholstery springs classified under the following codes of the Tunisian customs tariff : 72171050002 
and 72171090100.  
3   REASONS FOR INITIATING THE INVESTIGATION  
The investigation was initiated by the Minister of Trade and Export Development pursuant to 
Law No. 98-106 of 18  December  1998 on import safeguard measures, fol lowing a complaint made 
by the MAKLADA Group in its capacity as the only national producer of wire of iron or non -alloy steel 
used in the manufacture of upholstery springs in Tunisia.  
Imports of wire of iron or non -alloy steel used in the manufacture of up holstery springs rose from 
1,275 tonnes in 2017 to around 4,728 tonnes in 2021, while domestic production stagnated and 
local market sales fell during that same period.  
The complainant has provided evidence of a decline in its activity during the 2017 -2021 period.  
A preliminary study of the complaint has been carried out by the relevant services of the Ministry of 
Trade and Export Development . This study shows evidence to warrant the initiation of a safeguard 
investigation on the above -mentioned products.  G/SG/N/6/TUN/7

QUESTION S POSÉES PAR LE  CANADA  AU SUJET  
DE LA  NOTIFICATION  DE L'INDE1 
La communication ci -après, datée du 2 3 octobre  2021 et reçue à cette même date, est distribuée à 
la demande de la délégation du Canada.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Le Règlement sur le tarif douanier révisé décrit ce que l'autorité chargée de l'enquête doit prendre 
en considération pour établir une détermination de l'existence d'un dommage grave ou  d'une menace 
de dommage grave . Il indique que, lorsque des facteurs autres qu'un accroissement des importations 
causent un dommage à la branche de production nationale, ce dommage ne sera pas imputé à un 
accroissement des importations . Dans ce cas, "le Di recteur général pourra porter la plainte devant 
l'autorité chargée des enquêtes en matière de droits antidumping ou en matière de droits 
compensateurs, selon qu'il sera approprié".  
Question  n° 1 
L'Inde pourrait -elle préciser ce qu'elle entend par "porter" la plainte devant l'autorité chargée des 
enquêtes en matière de droits antidumping ou en matière de droits compensateurs et dans quelles 
circonstances une plainte pourrait être portée devant ladite  autorité?  
Question  n° 2 
Le fait de porter une plainte devant l'autorité revient -il à ouvrir une enquête en matière de droits 
antidumping ou en matière de droits compensateurs ? Si ce n'est pas le cas, quel processus l'autorité 
chargée de l'enquête suivra -t-elle une fois  que le Directeur général aura porté une plainte devant 
elle?

modificar sus prioridades y centrarse 
principalmente en el sector de la salud a fin 
de mitigar los efectos catastróficos 
provocados por esta tragedia de salud

colectivos interesados tuvieron que 
reorientarse hacia el desarrollo y la 
aplicac ión de planes de respuesta a la 
pandemia y estrategias de recuperación 
económica.  
No se ha obtenido la asistencia técnica y el

para el desarrollo del marco, la creación de

Bars and Rods of Steel for Concrete Reinforcement  
The following communication, dated 2 3 April 2 020, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Costa Rica.  
 
_______________  
 
 
In the interests of transparency and pursuant to the Agreement on Safeguards, Costa Rica hereby 
notifies the Committee on Safeguards of the final resolution concerning the investigation initiated  
with a view to applying a safeguard measure on "cylindrical bars and rods of alloy and non -alloy 
steel, corrugated, for use in reinforced concrete constructions, regardless of their dimension and 
diameter" , imported into Costa Rica under Costa Rican Harmonized System (SAC) tariff subheadings 
7214.20.00.00.10, 7214.20.00.00.90, 7214.99.20.00.10, 7228.30.00.00.10, 7228.50.00.00.10 and 
7228.60.00.00.10 . In this regard, it is important to highlight the following:  
 
1. Ministry of the Economy , Industry and Trade Resolution DM -111-2018 was announced  
by the investigating authority through the publication of an excerpt in the Official  Journal 
of the Republic of 28  January  20191 (the full resolution is attached for reference 
purposes).2 
 
2. The safeguard investigation concerning  "cylindrical bars and rods of alloy and non -alloy 
steel, corrugated, for use in reinforced concrete constructions, regardless of their 
dimension and diamete r" was declared to have been concluded , with no definitive 
safeguard measures imposed on imports of those  products.  
 
3. The Resolution  explains that  the decision not to impose measures was taken because  
the investigating authority was unable to  determine that  imports of the product under 
investigation had increased or that there was a threat of injury to the domestic industry.  
 
For reference purposes, please note that WTO document G/SG/N/6/CRI/4 contains the notification 
of initiation of  the investigation.
