NOTIFICATION 
  
 The following submission, dated 13 October 2005, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu .  The 
notification concerns the volume-based special safeguard ( Table MA:3 ). 
  
_______________ 
 
 
Table MA:3  
MARKET ACCESS – The Separate Customs Territo ry of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu 
 
Notification under Article 5 of the Agreemen t:  special safeguard: volume-based 
 
1. Description of product: Sugar 
2. Tariff item number: 17011100, 17011200, 17019110, 17019120, 
17019910, 17019920, 17019990 
3. Trigger level: 
 (as calculated in Annex 1)  395,439 tonnes 
4. Volume of imports entering 
 territory in current period 395,500 tonnes 
5. Period of application:  from 26 August 2004 to 31 December 2004 
 G/AG/N/TPKM/26 
Page 2  
 
 SPECIAL SAFEGUARD:  VOLUME-BASED:  Annex 1 to MA:3 
 
Information required for the calculation of the Trigger Level 
 
 
Imports in the 3 preceding years: 2000: 368,686 tonnes 
  2001: 391,221 tonnes   2002: 369,918 tonnes   Average: 376,608 tonnes  
And if import penetration is taken into account: 
 Consumption in the 3 preceding years: 2000: 589,785 tonnes   2001: 536,274 tonnes   2002: 489,914 tonnes 
  Average: 538,658 tonnes 
 Calculation of trigger level (pursuant to Article 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture): 
 Import penetration = 376,608 / 538,658   = 69.92% (base trigger therefore equals 105%) 
 
Trigger level = (105% x 376,608 tonnes) + (489,914 tonnes – 536,274 tonnes)  
= 349,078 tonnes < 105% of the average imports = 395,439 tonnes 
 Therefore, the trigger level is 395,439 tonnes.

Datos necesarios para el cálculo del nivel de activación 
Importaciones en los tres años precedentes: 2001: 227 toneladas 
   2002: 2.950 toneladas    2003: 1.535 toneladas    Media: 1.570 toneladas 
Se tiene en cuenta la penetración de las importaciones. Consumo en los tres años precedentes:  2001: 54.216 toneladas 
   2002: 52.017 toneladas 
   2003: 48.292 toneladas    Media: 51.508 toneladas 
Cálculo del nivel de activación (de conformidad con el artículo 5 del Acuerdo sobre la Agricultura): 
Penetración de las 
importaciones = 1.570/51.508 
  = 3% (por lo tanto, el nivel de activación de base es del 125%) 
Nivel de activación = (125% x 1.570 toneladas)  + (48.292 toneladas - 52.244 toneladas) 
  = 0 toneladas < 105% de la media de las importaciones = 1.648 toneladas 
Por lo tanto, el nivel de activación es de 1.648 toneladas.
