country of origin and export, are to be used from 01.10.2013.  3. A reference to the WTO document contai ning the Article 12.4 or Article 12.1(c) 
notification of the original me asure, whichever is applicable 
 G/SG/N/13/UKR/1/Suppl.1 of 20 September 2012;   
G/SG/N/8/UKR/1/Suppl.1-G/SG/N/14/UKR/1 of 31 October 2011; 
G/SG/N/6/UKR/1-G/SG/N/8/UKR/1-G/SG/N/10/UKR/1 of 22 August 2008.  4. Reason why the measure ceased to apply 
 
Within the projects for hydrocarbon production in the energy sector of Ukraine, it became 
necessary to import certain types of pipes, production of which in Ukraine does not have 
appropriate certification in accordance with international standards. 
 Temporary suspension of special measures concerning import into Ukraine of certain types of 
tubes of appropriate certification according to international standards will have no negative impact 
on the domestic production.  Ukraine's national interests require the temporary suspension of the special measures for import 
into Ukraine of certain types of tubes of appropriate certification in accordance with international 
standards.
