MATERIAL RETARDATION 
 
Communication from Egypt
 
 
Corrigendum  
 
 
 
 The second paragraph on Page 2 of Document TN/RL/GEN/122 under Introduction of 
factors for the determination of “ material retardation ” should read as follows:  
 
 Egypt believes that the proposed list of factor s that investigating authorities may consider 
should include:  (i) capacity utilisation;  (ii) dela ys in the start of reasonable commercial production; 
and (iii) the amount of domestic production as compared  to the size of the domestic market.  Egypt is 
convinced that the examination of the above-mentione d factors provide useful signal to investigating 
authorities in determining whether the establishment of a domestic industry is materially retarded.
