MARKET ACCESS – THE SEPARATE CUSTOMS  TERRITORY  
OF TAIWAN, PENGHU, K INMEN AND MATSU  
Notification under Article 5 of the Agreement:  special safeguard: volume -based  
1. Description of product:   Pork belly  
2. Tariff item numb er:   02031911 , 02031991, 02032911 , 02032991 
3. Trigger level:  
 (as calculated in Annex 1)   10,901 .5 tonnes  
4. Volume of imports entering  
 territory in current period   10,907.3  tonnes  
5. Period of application:  from 22 September 20 16 to 31 December 20 16 
SPECIAL SAFEGUARD:  VOLUME -BASED:  ANNEX 1 TO MA:3  
Information required for the calculation of the Trigger Level  
Imports in the 3 preceding years:  2012: 7,032.3 tonnes  
  2013: 7,354.8 tonnes  
  2014: 11,776.6  tonnes  
  Average : 8,721.2 tonnes  
 
And the import pene tration is taken into account:  
 
Consumption in the 3 preceding years:  2012: 67,557.7  tonnes  
  2013: 67,191.1  tonnes  
  2014: 68,822.8 tonnes  
  Average:  67,857.2 tonnes  
 
Calculation of trigger level (pursuant to Article 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture):  
 
Import penetration  = 8,721.2/67,857.2 
 = 12.85 % (base trigger therefore equals  110%) 
 
Trigger level  = 8,721.2  tonnes  x 110% + (68,822.8-67,191. 1) tonnes  
 = 11,225.0  tonnes >125% of the average imports = 10,901.5  tonnes  
 
Therefore, the trigger level is 10,90 1.5 tonnes.

November 2 015 to October 2017 (SDR 1 = NOK 11,60511917 ). 
                                                
1 The Secretariat notes that the Protocol amending the Agreement on Government Procurement has 
entered into force for Norway on 6 April 2014 and that Norway's threshold values as expressed in SDR are the 
same under the revised and the 1994 Agreement.  GPA/THR/NOR/1

  The value of the thresholds in NOK  has been expressed without the value -added tax (VAT) 
because Norway  excludes VAT when calculating the value of contracts.
