_______________ 
 
 
Conformément à l'article 12:1 a) de l'Accord sur le s sauvegardes, la Tunisie notifie au comité sur 
les sauvegardes l'ouverture d'une enquête en matière de sauvegardes visant les importations des 
panneaux de fibres de bois MDF.   
 1  DATE À LAQUELLE L'ENQUETE A ÉTÉ OUVERTE 
L'enquête a été ouverte le 30 septembre 2014 (date de publication de l'avis d'ouverture de 
l'enquête au Journal Officiel de la République tunisienne (JORT) n°079 du 30 septembre 2014).   
 2  PRODUITS FAISANT L'OBJET DE L'ENQUÊTE 
Les produits visés par l'enquête son "les panneaux de fibres de bois MDF" relevant des codes 
suivants du tarif douanier de la Tunisie: 44111410091, 44111210091, 44111310096.  
3  LES RAISONS POUR LESQUELLES L'ENQUÊTE A ÉTÉ OUVERTE 
L'enquête a été ouverte par la Ministre du Commerce et de l'Artisanat conformément aux 
dispositions de la loi n°98-106 du 18 décembre 1998 relative aux mesures de sauvegarde à 
l'importation, et ce suite à une plainte présenté e par la Société "les Grand Ateliers du Nord" 
(GAN), en sa qualité de producteur unique des panneaux de fibres de bois de densité moyenne (MDF).    
Au cours de la période entre 2009 et 2013, les importations des panneaux de fibres de bois MDF 
ont passé de 6193m
3 (soit 4954 tonnes) en 2009 à 31673m3 (soit 25338 tonnes) en 2013, 
parallèlement à une régression de 14% pour la prod uction nationale et de 25% pour les ventes sur 
le marché local durant la période entre 2012 et 2013.   
 La société plaignante a fourni des éléments de preuve sur la régression de son activité pendant la 
période allant de 2010 à 2013. En effet, cette période a été marquée par une baisse de la 
production, du volume des ventes, de la rentabilité et de sa part de marché.    Une étude préliminaire de la plainte a été men ée par les services compétents du Ministère du 
Commerce et de l'Artisanat. Il ressort de cet examen l'existence des éléments de preuves qui 
justifient l'ouverture d'une enquête de sauvegarde à l'égard des produits cités ci-dessus.    G/SG/N/6/TUN/3

circulated by the Secretariat to the CRO. The in formation regarding such notifications, including

measures that may be relevant to trade in servic es without prejudice to the interpretation of the

devices to include a unique device identifier (UDI),  except where the rule provides for an exception 
or alternative placement. The labeler must submit product information concerning devices to FDA's Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID), unless subject to an exception or 
alternative. The system established by this rule requires the label and device package of each 
medical device to include a UDI and requires that each UDI be provided in a plain-text version and in a form that uses automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology. The UDI will be required to be directly marked on the device itself if the device is intended to be used more than 
once and intended to be re processed before each use. 
DATES: This rule is effective 23 December 2013, except Sec. Sec. 801.55, 830.10, 830.100, 
830.110, 830.120, and 830.130 are effective 24 October 2013. The incorporation by reference of
