NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 12.1(C) OF THE 
AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS 
(EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING MEASURE) 
 
NOTIFICATION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 9, FOOTNOTE 2 
OF THE AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS 
 
QUESTIONS POSED BY THE UN ITED STATES REGARDING 
THE NOTIFICATION OF MOROCCO1 
The following communication, dated 9 February 2016,  is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the United States. 
 
_______________ 
 
 The United States thanks Morocco for its notification regarding the extension of the existing 
measure on wire rods and reinforcing bars and poses the following questions: 
 Question 1  
In the December 2015 notification, Morocco stated that it plans to extend the measure for an 
additional three years. Article 7.4 of the Safeguards  Agreement states that "[i]f the duration of the 
measure exceeds three years, the Member applying such a measure shall review the situation not 
later that the mid-term of the measure and, if a ppropriate, withdraw it or increase the pace of 
liberalization." (emphasis added)  
Please clarify the exact duration of the measure and, if the duration exceeds three years, when 
Morocco intends to conduct the requisite mid-term review.  Question 2 
 
In "Table 1: Annual quota levels for wire rods and reinforcing bars", Morocco notes that the measure on imports of reinforcing bar for the period 1 January 2018–31 December 2018 would 
be 46. This does not appear to be a liberalization of the measure for the final period of imposition. 
Please clarify what the amount should be.
