NOTIFICATION OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS UNDER 
ARTICLE 12.6 OF THE AGREEMENT 
 
Additional Questions Posed by JAPAN Regarding the 
 
Notification of the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA1 
 
 
 The following communication, dated 13 September 2006, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Japan.  
_______________ 
  
 The Government of Japan (GOJ) appreciates th e efforts by the People's Republic of China 
(PRC) to ensure its Regulations on Safeguards c onsistent with the WTO Agreement on Safeguards.  
GOJ is also thankful for replies of the PRC to pr eviously submitted questions .  However, GOJ still has 
some concerns regarding the Regulations on Safe guard of the PRC (PRC SG), especially from the 
perspective of their consistency with provi sions of the GATT 1994 and the WTO Agreement on 
Safeguards.  We therefore would like to submit fo llowing questions and requests and hope to discuss 
them with the PRC in a constructive manner.  
1. The PRC commented in its replies dated 20 April 2006 to GOJ's questions, "Article 31 of 
Regulation on Safeguards is the application of the principle of reciprocity in the area of safeguard 
measures embodied in the Foreign Trade law."  Article 31, however, could be read that the PRC may resort to countermeasures vis-à-vis WTO Members without regard to the requirements of the DSU 
and the WTO Agreement on Safeguards.  We would li ke to have a confirmation from the PRC that it 
will not resort to countermeasures as prescribed unde r Article 31 vis-à-vis any WTO Members.  To 
ensure this point, GOJ would like to suggest the P RC to amend the text of Article 31 as appropriate. 
 2. Article 8 of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards provides for the right of a Member to take 
countermeasures in the form of suspension of c oncessions and obligations, together with necessary 
conditions, in order to prevent the abuse of such countermeasures.  Specifically, Article 8.3 provides 
that such countermeasures shall not be taken for the first three years vis-à-vis a safeguard measure 
taken in compliance with the WTO Agreements.  Please indicate the PRC's domestic regulations in 
this regard.  In view of the fact that we do not see any provisions in the PRC SG which explicitly 
relates to Article 8.3 of the WTO Agreement on Sa feguards, GOJ would like to request the PRC to 
make its regulations fully consis tent with the WTO Agreements.  (In the case of Japan, procedures 
relevant to countermeasures are explicitly provided  for in its domestic regulation, in a manner 
consistent with Article 8 of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards.)
