  NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY MEASURES 
Addendum 
The following communication, received on 22 January 2014, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of Canada. 
 
_______________ 
 
 Pest Risk Management Document - Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus  (ash dieback pathogen) 
As previously notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/650 (dated 23 January 2013), the Canadian Food 
Inspection Agency (CFIA) has taken emergency measures to mitigate the risk of entry of the ash 
dieback pathogen ( Hymenoschyphus pseudoalbidus  - previously known as Chalara fraxinea ). The 
CFIA has since developed a Pest Risk Management Document for H. pseudoalbidus  to evaluate the 
risk and potential mitigation measures that can be applied to reduce the pest risk associated to 
this pathogen. After critical evaluation of H. pseudoalbidus  (ash dieback disease), along with the 
risks associated with its potential introduction into Canada, the CFIA proposes that 
H. pseudoalbidus  be regulated and that phytosanitary requirements for Fraxinus  spp. (ash) plant 
material be adopted to complement current requirements. 
Pursuant to the emergency measures, the CFIA intends to consolidate the prohibition regarding 
the entry into Canada of Fraxinus  spp. nursery stock (rooted and unrooted), fresh and dried 
branches (including wreaths) of all diameters and seeds from all infested countries. However, the 
CFIA intends to allow in vitro  plantlets from infested countries that have been previously 
authorized to export in vitro  plantlets provided that they are accompanied by a Phytosanitary 
Certificate attesting that the plant material has been tested and found free of H. pseudoalbidus .

Playpens Regulations  (Reglamento sobre parques para niños ) 
En virtud de la Ley de Seguridad de los Productos de Consumo del Canadá, Health Canada  (el 
Ministerio de Salud) publicó, con fecha 3 de octubre de 2018, el nuevo Reglamento sobre parques 
para niños en la parte  II del Canada Gazette . El Reglamento propuesto se notificó en el documento 
G/TBT/N/CAN/524 (de 3 de mayo de 2017). 
El nuevo Reglamento sobre parques para niños (SOR/2018 -186) deroga y sustituye el anterior 
Reglamento SOR/2016 -189 ( http://gazette.gc.ca/rp -pr/p2/2016/2016 -07-13/html/sor -dors189 -
eng.html ). 
Con el nuevo Reglamento sobre parques para niños se abordan algunos peligros que ha detectado 
el Ministerio de Salud, como el riesgo de caída o pliegue de las barras superiores, y se introducen 
condiciones de aptitud para la función y métodos de ensayo para los accesorios de estos parques, 
incluidos los que se usan durante el sueño del niño.  
Con el nuevo Reglamento se pretende me jorar la seguridad de estos productos y reforzar la 
protección ante lesiones y decesos, ajustando la mayoría de los requisitos canadienses con las 
normas estadounidenses de obligado cumplimiento y armonizando otras prescripciones con el 
Reglamento vigente relativo a cunas y camas para niños.  
El nuevo Reglamento sobre parques para niños entrará en vigor el 3 de abril de 2019.

 TÍTULO: Normas de los Estados Unidos para la clasificación de almendras con cáscara  
ORGANISMO: Servicio de Comercialización Agríco la (AMS), Departamento de Agricultura de los 
Estados Unidos (USDA)  
MEDIDA: Norma definitiva 
 RESUMEN: En el documento notificado se revisan las normas de los Estados Unidos para la 
clasificación de almendras con cáscara. Las normas  responden a las disposiciones de la Ley de 
comercialización agrícola de 1946. El Servicio de Comercialización Agrícola (AMS) ha decidido que el criterio para los defectos internos no será el número sino el peso. La revisión notificada armoniza los procedimientos de las inspecciones de los productos recibidos por los mayoristas 
(basadas en la orden de comercialización) y las inspecciones de los productos distribuidos por los 
mayoristas (basadas en las normas). Esta modificación va en beneficio de la uniformidad y es coherente con las actuales prácticas de comercialización.

In the next to last sentence of the final paragraph of question  5, the reference to 
"paragraph  130(2)" should instead be to "paragraph 139(2)".  
 
And, in the last sentence of  the final paragraph of question 5, the reference to "paragraph 130" 
shoul d instead be to "paragraph 139" as follows:  
 
"By contrast, Article 3.7 of the Antidumping Agreement and Article 15.7 of the SCM 
Agreement specify that in a threat analysis an authori ty should consider whether there 
is "a significant  rate of increase of dumped impo rts", "substantially  increased 
importation ", "an imminent, substantial  increase in, capacity of the exporter indicating 
the likelihood of substantially  increased dumped expor ts", and "prices that will have a 
significant  depressing or suppressing effect on domestic prices " (emphasis added). In 
only one instance, paragraph 139(2) underlined above, does such language appear to 
be incorporated into the Protocol. Please explain whe ther para graphs 76 and  139 of 
the Protocol are consistent with Article 3.7 of the An tidumping Agreement and 
Article  15.7 of the SCM Agreement, respectively. "
