USAGE OF SPECIAL AGRICULTURAL  SAFEGUARD S 
SUBMISSION BY THE RU SSIAN FEDERATION  
The following submission , dated 19 October 2018 , is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of the Russian Federation .  
 
_______________  
 
 
The present paper seeks to reflect the  current  state of play in the usage of special agricultural 
safeguards  (SSG)  and its effects on exports  of WTO Members .  
The following poi nts are worth mentioning in this regard:  
- Eight out of 331 Members  possessing the right to apply SSG  used this instrument  in the 
past five years ;  
- SSG usage affects 78 WTO Members , including ten LDCs, and seven WTO Observer  
governments , including two  LDCs, constituting  major  importers2 in the markets of 
Members  where SSG are applied ;  
- The coverage of products, subject to  SSG rights, includes 183 product groups3, out of 
which 77 produc t group s are affected by  actual use of  SSG;  
- Affected product groups frequently comprise domestically sensitive products, for which  
tariff rate quotas  are applied ;  
- Imports under tariff rate quotas and, possibly,  imports under  preferential trade regimes 
may not be affected by SSG usage . For this reason , SSG effects  may be  uneven among 
affected Members . 
Effects of SSG application have to be further investigated. This issue may therefore require attention 
and due consideration of Members.
