HUNGARY
The following communication, dated 28 March 2003, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Hungary.
_______________
Pursuant to Articles 12.1(b), 12.1(c) and Article 9, Footnote 2 of the Agreement on
Safeguards and to the format for notifications adopted by the Committee on Safeguards G/SG/1
(01.07.1996) Hungary hereby submits a notification on finding of serious injury or threat thereof
caused by increased imports and on the proposed safeguard measures.
On 22 May 2002, the Republic of Hungary initiated an investigation relating to serious injury
to domestic producers of products like or directly competing with imported steel products in
15 product group.  The initiation of the investigation has been notified to the Committee onSafeguards as well as the provisional measures introduced on 3 June 2002.  (G/SG/N/6/HUN/1,
G/SG/N/7/HUN/1, G/SG/N/11/HUN/1).
Consistent with Article 12.2 of the Agreement of Safeguards, this notification contains all
pertinent information relating to the seven products on which definitive safeguard measure areproposed.
1. Provide evidence of serious injury or th reat thereof caused by increased imports
The Ministry of Economy and Transport, the authority responsible for the investigation
concluded that 7 steel products (7208.40-90 Non-alloy hot rolled sheets and plates, 7209.25-90 Non-alloy cold rolled sheets and plates, 7213.10-20/ 7213.9110/7214.20/7214.9910 hot rolled bars and rods
of iron and non-alloy steel, 7216.10/ 7216.21/ 7216.22/ 7216.3199/ 7216.3299 non-alloyed angles,
shapes and sections, 7306.30 other tubes and pipes, holl ow profiles of iron welded of circular cross-
section, 7306.60-90 other tubes and pipes, hollow pr ofiles of iron welded of non-circular cross-
section, 7314 wire-cloth, grill netting and fencing) had been imported into the Hungarian market insuch increased quantities and under such conditions that caused serious injury to the domesticG/SG/N/8/HUN/1

industry and that a definitive safeguard measure is necessary to prevent and remedy serious injury and
to facilitate adjustment.  The investigating author ity examined the situation of the domestic and world
markets, including capacities, production and consumption trends as well as protective measuresadopted by a number of trading partners and established that the surge of imports in 2001 and the
further massive import demand represented unforeseen developments.  The investigating authority
evaluated all relevant factors having a bearing on the situation of the domestic steel industry and
concluded that the injury suffered has been attributable to increased imports.  These conclusions were
based on the factors described below.

Statistical data shows that the production increased by 4 per cent between 1996-2001.  The
growth of consumption and domestic sales increased about 46 per cent and 13 per cent respectively.
During the same period the import of the product increased by 240 per cent.  Taking a shorter period
the tendency is the same.  The production increased by 3 per cent from 1999 to 2001.  The increase in
consumption was 24 per cent, the growth in import was about 29 per cent during the same years.
From 2000 to 2001 the growth of imports reached 12 per cent.  The share of import within
domestic consumption in 1998 was 21 per cent, the same ratio in 2001 was 34 per cent.  The share ofimports increased from 16 per cent to 26 per cent compared to production in the same period.G/SG/N/8/HUN/1

Profitability decreased significantly, in 1999 it was 2,3 per cent while in 2001 the same data
was – 1,9 per cent.  Capacity utilisation varied between 77,8 and 80,8 per cent during period ofinvestigation.
The number of employees decreased between 1996 and 2001 by more than 9 per cent.  This
decline in the number of employees was 7,5 per cent in 1999/2001.
It was determined that significant increase in imports had a negative effect on the basic
economic indicators, in particular production, capacity utilisation, volume of domestic sales, share ofdomestic sales, share of domestic market and employment.  On the basis of these results it was found
that the imports of products in question caused and still threaten to cause further serious injury to the
domestic industry.
A threat of further increase of imports was identified in light of the number of requests for
import licences for products subject to quota in the framework of the provisional measures.  The
extremely high demand (six-times higher than the quota itself) for imports indicates further strong
import pressure.

Production decreased by 20 per cent between 1996 and 2001.  Domestic consumption
increased by 15 per cent while the imports increased by 194 per cent in the same period.  From 2000
to 2001 the growth of imports was about 9 per cent, the domestic production declined from 123 482tonnes to 109 074 tonnes.
The share of imports within consumption increased from 10 per cent to 25 per cent between
1996 and 2001.  The ratio of imports to production increased from 6 per cent to 21 per cent in the
same period.
Capacity utilisation was 88 per cent in 1996, 81 per cent in 2000 and it decreased to 70 per
cent in 2001.  In the same period the number of employees declined by 5 per cent.  Domestic sales
declined from 85 843 tonnes to 69 647 tonnes in 2001 in comparison to the previous year.
Profitability dropped to –3,1 per cent due to the decline in capacity utilisation in 2001.
It was determined that the significant increase of imports caused a decline in domestic sales
and in capacity utilisation.  It was found that the imports of products classified within HS 7209.25-90
caused and threaten to cause serious injury of the domestic industry.
A threat of further increase of imports was identified in light of the number of requests for
import licences for products subject to quota in the framework of the provisional measures.  The
extremely high demand (five times higher than the quota itself) for imports indicates further strong
import pressure.

During the examined period (1996-2001) production increased by 89 per cent, consumption
increased by 136 per cent and domestic sales increased by 59 per cent.  The growth of imports in the
same period was extremely high, more than 500 per cent.  A further sharp increase in imports was
registered from 2000 to 2001 (28 per cent).
The share of imports within consumption in the period of 1996-2001 more than doubled
increased from 17 per cent to 44 per cent. Imports compared to production increased in the same
period from 21 per cent to 66 per cent.
Capacity utilisation was 48,4 per cent in 1999, 40 per cent in 2000 and 54 per cent in 2001.
The number of employees decreased by 25 per cent between 1996-2001 and by 16 per cent from
2000-2001 in a depressed region of the country.
Profitability declined to 0,5 per cent in 2001.It was found that the increase of import caused serious injury to the domestic industry.  The
domestic producers have suffered a fall in market share in 2001 compared to previous years while
imports of products concerned increased by 28 per cent in 2001.
A threat of further increase of imports was identified in light of the number of requests for
import licences for products subject to quota in the framework of the provisional measures.  Theextremely high demand (16 times higher than the quota itself) for imports indicates further strong
import pressure.

According to statistical data in the period of 1996-2001 production rose by 27 per cent,
consumption by 24 per cent and domestic sales by 3 per cent.  At the same time the increase of
imports was 122 per cent.
In the period of 1999-2001 production rose by 12 per cent, consumption by 7 per cent and
domestic sales by 9 per cent.  During the same period the imports increased by 68 per cent.
The share of imports within consumption grew from 18 per cent to 31 per cent in the period
of 1996-2001.  In the same period the share of imports compared to domestic production grew from
15 per cent to 26 per cent.
Profitability of the production declined sharply between 1999-2001 from 2 per cent to –20 per
cent.
The number of employees declined by 30 per cent in the period of 1996-2001.The rate of capacity utilisation is constantly at a very low level. In 2001 it was only 42 per
cent.
The sharp increase in volume of imports caused serious injury to the Hungarian producers, in
the form of low capacity utilisation rate, negative rate of profitability and a significant decrease in
employment.
These factors caused serious injury to the Hungarian producers.A threat of further increase of imports was identified in light of the number of requests for
import licences for products subject to quota in the framework of the provisional measures.  Theextremely high demand (11 times higher than the quota itself) for imports indicates further strong

According to statistical data production fall by 1,4 per cent in the period of 1996-2001,
consumption increased by 32,5 per cent and at the same time, imports rose by 471 per cent.
In the period of 1999-2001 production increased by 20 per cent, consumption by 28 per cent
while imports grew nearly by 100 per cent.
The share of imports within consumption increased from 12 per cent to 53 per cent in the
period of 1996-2001 and the ratio of imports compared to production rose from 10 per cent to 54 per
cent in the same years.
In 1999 capacity utilisation was 46,4 per cent, in 2000 it was 47,3 per cent and in 2001 it was
55,5 per cent.
Profitability was at a level of 1,5 per cent in 1999 and 1,3 per cent in 2000.  The number of
employees declined by 10 per cent in 1999-2001.
It was established that the significant import growth caused serious injury to the domestic
industry. Capacity utilisation has remained depressed, sales on the domestic market have declined
significantly and, as a consequence, profitability has been declining.
A threat of further increase of imports was identified in light of the number of requests for
import licences for products subject to quota in the framework of the provisional measures.  Theextremely high demand (six-times higher than the quota itself) for imports indicates further strong

According to statistical data in the period of 1996-2001 production, consumption and
domestic sales increased by 29 per cent, 58 per cent and 19 per cent respectively.  At the same time
imports increased by 600 per cent.  From 1999 to 2001 production, consumption and domestic sales
increased by 37, 72 and 33 per cent.
The share of imports within consumption grew from 7 per cent in 1996 to 31 per cent in 2001.
The comparison of imports to production shows a significant growth from 7 to 38 per cent in the same
period.
Capacity utilisation varied between 50-64 per cent in the period of investigation.  The number
of employees varied between 65-72.
The investigating authority found that the increase of imports caused and still threaten to
cause serious injury to the domestic industry.G/SG/N/8/HUN/1
