NOTIFICATION UNDER A RTICLE 12.1(A) OF TH E AGREEMENT ON  
SAFEGUARDS ON INITIA TION OF AN INVESTIGA TION AND  
THE REASONS FOR IT  
PHILIPPINES  
(Float Glass) 
The following notification, dated 13 March  2019, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation 
of the Philippines.1 
 
_______________  
 
 
Pursuant to Article 12.1 (a) of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards, the Permanent Mission of the 
Philippines to the WTO hereby notifies the Committee on Safeguards of the initiation of a preliminary 
safeguard investigation  on the importation of clear and tinted float glass from various countries.  
 
DATE OF INITIATION O F THE INVESTIGATION  
The investigation was initiated on 19 February 2019.  
 
PRODUCT SUBJECT TO T HE INVESTIGATION  
Clear and tinted float glass classified under AH TN Codes 7005.29.90 (clear float glass), 7005.21.90 
(tinted float glass), including 7005.10.90 (reflective glass).  
 
REASONS FOR INITIATI ON OF INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE  
The investigation was initiated on the  basis of  the application from the Philippine float glass industry 
that increased imports of clear and tinted float glass from various countries are the substantial cause 
of serious injury to the domestic industry in terms of declining market share, production, sal es, 
capacity utilization, incurred losses, price depression, and undercutting.  
 
The investigation has been initiated to determine whether safeguard measures are warranted.

  COMMUNAUTÉS EUROPÉENNES – MESURES PROHIBANT L'IMPORTATION ET LA 
COMMERCIALISATION DE PRODUITS DÉRIVÉS DU PHOQUE 
COMMUNICATION PRÉSENTÉE PAR LE CANADA ET L'UNION EUROPÉENNE 
CONCERNANT L'ARTICLE 21:3 C) DU MÉMORANDUM D'ACCORD 
SUR LE RÈGLEMENT DES DIFFÉRENDS 
La communication ci-après, datée du 24 juillet 2014 et adressée par la délégation du Canada et la 
délégation de l'Union européenne au Président de l'Organe de règlement des différends, est distribuée à la demande de ces délégations.  
_______________ 
  
Le 18 juin 2014, l'Organe de règlement des différends (l'"ORD") a adopté ses recommandations et 
décisions concernant l'affaire Communautés européennes – Mesures prohibant l'importation et la 
commercialisation de produits dérivés du phoque  (WT/DS400/AB/R, WT/DS400/R et 
WT/DS400/R/Add.1). À la réunion de l'ORD qui s'es t tenue le 10 juillet 2014, l'Union européenne a 
dit qu'elle avait l'intention de mettre en œuvre les recommandations et décisions de l'ORD dans ce différend d'une manière qui respecte ses obligations dans le cadre de l'OMC. Elle a aussi indiqué qu'elle aurait besoin d'un délai raisonnable pour la mise en œuvre. 
L'article 21:3 c) du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant le règlement des 
différends  (le "Mémorandum d'accord") prévoit que, en l'absence d'un accord entre les parties sur 
un délai, le délai raisonnable sera déterminé "par arbitrage contraignant dans les 90 jours suivant 
la date d'adoption des recommandations et décisions". 
Afin que les parties aient suffisamment de temps pour discuter d'un délai mutuellement convenu, 
le Canada et l'Union européenne i) conviennent que, au cas où un arbitrage au titre de 
l'article 21:3 c) du Mémorandum d'accord serait demandé, il s'achèvera 60 jours au plus tard 
après la date de la désignation d'un arbitre, à moins que l'arbitre, après avoir consulté les parties, ne considère qu'un délai supplémentaire est nécessaire; et ii) confirment que toute décision de l'arbitre (y compris une décision qui ne sera pas rendue dans les 90 jours suivant la date 
d'adoption des recommandations et décisions de l'ORD) sera réputée être une décision arbitrale 
aux fins de l'article 21:3 c) du Mémorandum d' accord en vue de la détermination du délai 
raisonnable imparti à l'Union européenne pour la mise en œuvre des recommandations et 
décisions de l'ORD. 
Nous vous saurions gré de bien vouloir distribuer la présente notification aux membres de l'ORD.
