| Abstract: |
This Module provides an overview of the Agreement on Safeguards, as it has been interpreted by panels and the Appellate Body in particular since the entry into force of the WTO Agreement in 1995. It will review both substantive and procedural rules. Since the entry into force of the SA in 1995, six WTO panel reports have been issued interpreting SA provisions and Article XIX:1 of GATT,3all of which were appealed. They add to the rare panel reports addressing safeguard measures under GATT 1947.4 Given that, notwithstanding the addition of the SA, the WTO safeguard regime is still rather limited and not very detailed, it comes as no surprise that panel and Appellate Body reports offer very important clarifications of key provisions of the Agreement. This Module takes into account reports issued until 15 February 2002. |
