NOTIFICATION  
The following submission, dated 23 December  2016, is being circulated at the request of the

  Table MA: 3 
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:   Chicken legs and wings  
2. Tariff item number:    02071311 ; 02071411 ; 02109912 ; 16023210  
3. Trigger level:  
 (as calculated in Annex 1)   153,558.6  tonnes  
4. Volume of imports entering  
 territory in current period   153,564.1  tonnes  
5. Period of application:  from 16 November  2016 to 31 Dece mber 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: 120,029.6  tonnes  
  2013: 109,743.8  tonnes  
  2014: 138,767.4  tonnes  
  Average : 122,846.9 tonnes  
 
And the import penetration is taken into account:  
 
Consumption in the 3 preceding years:  2012: 265,438.2  tonnes  
  2013: 244,392.5 tonnes  
  2014: 283,106.7 tonnes  
  Average:  264,312.5 tonnes  
 
Calculation of trigger level (pursuant to Article 5 of the Agree ment on Agriculture):  
 
Import penetration  = 122,846.9 / 264,312.5 
 = 46.48 % (base trigger therefore equals 1 05%) 
 
Trigger level  = 122,846.9 tonnes  x 105% + (283,106.7-244,392.5) tonnes  
 = 167,703.4 t onnes  > 125% of the average imports =153,558.6  tonnes  
 
Therefore, the trigger level is 153,558.6  tonnes.

NOTIFICATION AU TITRE DE L'ARTICLE 22 DE

Réponse de Bahreïn aux États-Unis 
 
 
 La communication ci-après, datée du 3 octobre 2012, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation de Bahreïn.  
_______________ 
 
 1. Veuillez trouver ci-joint une copie de la Lo i de 2008 sur le régime douanier commun du 
CCG.
1 
2. Nous confirmons que la Loi de 2008 su r le régime douanier commun du CCG est 
actuellement mise en œuvre par l'administration ba hreïnite des douanes et que cette version 2008 
remplace la version 2003. 
3. a) L'administration bahreïnite des douanes affi rme une nouvelle fois qu'à ce jour, aucun cas 
soumis au Comité d'évaluation en douane n'est resté sans solution.  Nous avons un système et 
une procédure en place pour répondre aux cas dans  lesquels l'importateur n'est pas satisfait 
par une décision du Comité.  Le mécanisme adopt é par le Directeur pour régler les différends 
est compatible avec l'article VII du GATT de 1994. 
Le Comité de réexamen est habilité à consulte r, si nécessaire, des spécialistes expérimentés 
indépendants.  Il consulterait ces parties si l'importateur conteste les décisions du Comité 
d'évaluation. 
L'importateur a en outre un droit de recour s devant un organe judiciaire indépendant. 
b) Le Comité est habilité à demander l'assistance de spécialistes expérimentés indépendants.  En 
fonction de la nature des marchandises, l'ad ministration des douanes peut demander l'avis 
d'experts spécialisés dans le  domaine considéré.  Ceux-ci sont des fonctionnaires et 
garantissent la confidentialité des renseigneme nts qui leur sont communiqués.  Cela est 
conforme à l'article 10 de l'Accord sur l'évaluation en douane. 
4. a) Le Directeur général porte devant le Co mité d'évaluation en douane les affaires dans 
lesquelles l'importateur n'est pas satisfait de l'évaluation. 
b) Toutes les affaires dans lesquelles l'importateur n'est pas satisfait sont portées devant le 
Comité d'évaluation en douane.

Supplement 
The following communication, dated 9 May 2014, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of India.  
_______________ 
 1  PRECISE DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT INVOLVED 
The product under investigation is Rubber Chemical called PX-13 or 6 PPD, falling under 
heading 3812, 3810 as well as under 2921,2925,2934 and 2942 (at six digit levels) of the Schedule I of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.  
 
2  PRECISE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED MEASURE 
The Domestic Industry (DI) have failed to adduce  positive adjustment steps undertaken by them 
since the imposition of the previous safeguard du ty on PX-13 with effect from 30 August, 2011 and 
are merely seeking extension of safeguard duty on the basis of deviated futuristic/proposed 
adjustment plans without any concrete measure in place. The DI has also failed to take any concrete adjustment steps towards reduction of cost of sales/production and similar other 
measures to cut overheads/costs, during the peri od of two years when they were protected by 
safeguard duty. Any further action in this regard will also be against the stand taken by Government of India at the WTO, in its complaint against Turkey in DS 428 titled " Turkey - 
Safeguards Measures on Imports of Cotton Yarn (Other Than Sewing Thread) " ("Turkey - 
Cotton Yarn"). The instant review proceedings of the safeguard investigation related to continued imposition of safeguard duty on PX-13/6PPD are terminated .  
 
3  FURTHER INFORMATION 
The Final Findings were published in gazette of  India on 24 April 2014 and is available at the

LDCs' voices are heard loud and clear in global trade negotiations.”  
 
Marc Vanheukelen, EU Ambassador to the WTO, said: “The EU remains strongly committed to promoting the active participation of LDCs in the multilateral trading system, including at WTO Ministerial Conferences. Strong LDC representati on in Nairobi will be an important element in
