REPORT (2005) OF THE COMMITTEE ON SAFEGUARDS 
TO THE COUNCIL FOR TRADE IN GOODS 
 
I. GENERAL 
1. The Committee on Safeguards was established in 1995 to perform the functions set out in 
Article 13 of the Agreement on Safeguards.  This report is submitted in accordance with 
Article 13.1(a) of the Agreement, which requires the Committee to report annually to the Council for 
Trade in Goods on the general impl ementation of the Agreement.  Th e report covers the period since 
the Committee's last annual report (G/L/703), i.e., 26 October 2004 – 3 November 2005. 
2. During the period under review, the Committee he ld two regular meetings, on 4 April 2005 
(G/SG/M/27) and 3 November 2005 (G/SG/M/28).  
3. Observer governments in the General Council of  the WTO have observer status in the 
Committee.  Pursuant to their Agreements with the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank have observer 
status in the Committee as well.  UNCTAD ha s observer status in the Committee through a 
Committee decision.  
4. Both the OECD and the ACP Group have requested  regular observer status in the Committee.  
At its regular meetings in 1998, the Committee de cided to invite the OECD to attend Committee 
meetings on an ad hoc  basis, subject to objection by a Member in particular cases.  At the same time, 
the Committee also decided to  invite the ACP Group to attend its meetings on an ad hoc  basis, 
pending the outcome of horizontal consultations with respect to the ACP Group's request for 
observership in various WTO bodies.  The Committ ee continued this practice during the reporting 
period.  
5. At its regular meeting in April 2005, the Comm ittee elected Ms. Ana Novik as Chairperson, 
and Mr. Mirko Zambelli as Vice Chairperson.

7. As of 3 November 2005, 93 Members had notified the Committee of their domestic 
safeguards legislation and/or regulations or made  communications in this regard to the Committee
