Proposal for a regulation
Article 9 a (new)
Article 9a Safeguard clause 1. Where a product included in the Annex I or II originating in Pakistan is imported on terms which cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to Union producers of like or directly competing products, Common Customs Tariff duties on that product may be reintroduced at any time (hereinafter referred to as a "safeguard measure"). 2. At the request of a Member State or on the Commission’s initiative, the Commission shall take a formal decision to initiate an investigation within a reasonable period of time. Where the Commission decides to initiate an investigation, it shall publish a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union announcing the investigation. The notice shall provide a summary of the information received and state that any relevant information should be sent to the Commission. It shall specify the period, which shall not exceed four months from the date of publication of the notice, within which interested parties may make their views known in writing. 3. The Commission shall seek all information it deems necessary and may verify the information received with Pakistan and any other relevant source. It may be assisted by officials of the Member State on whose territory verification might be sought, if that Member State so requests. 4. In examining whether there is serious injury, the Commission shall take account of the following factors concerning Union producers where this information is available: — market share, — production, — stocks, — production capacity, — capacity utilisation, — employment, — imports, — prices. This list is not exhaustive and other relevant factors may also be taken into consideration by the Commission for its injury determination. 5. The investigation shall be completed forthwith, but not later than six months after the publication of the notice referred to in paragraph 2. The Commission may, in exceptional circumstances, extend this period. 6. Provisional safeguard measures may be adopted by the Commission, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(1 a) (new), in critical circumstances where a delay would cause damage which would be difficult to repair, pursuant to a preliminary determination on the basis of the factors laid down in paragraph 4 which establishes that there is sufficient evidence that imports of a product covered by this Regulation have increased as the result of the suspension of customs duties under this Regulation, and such imports cause serious injury, or threat thereof, to the domestic industry. Provisional measures shall not apply for more than 200 days. 7. The Commission shall decide whether to impose safeguard measures before the end of the investigation period, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2).
