PROCLAMATION N° 7529 DU 5 MARS 2002
Visant à faciliter l'ajustement positif à la concurrence des importations de certains
produits en acier
Faite par le Président des États-Unis d'AmériqueProclamation
1. Le 19 décembre 2001, la Commission du commerce international des États-Unis (ITC) a
transmis au Président un rapport sur son enquête au titre de l'article 202 de la Loi de 1974 sur lecommerce extérieur, telle qu'elle a été modifiée (la "Loi sur le commerce extérieur")
(19 U.S.C. 2252), au sujet des importations de certains produits en acier.
2. L'ITC est arrivée à des déterminations positives, au titre de l'article 202 b) de la Loi sur le
commerce extérieur, établissant que les produits ci-après sont importés aux États-Unis en quantités
tellement accrues qu'ils constituent ou menacent de constituer une cause substantielle de dommagegrave pour les branches de production nationales d'articles similaires ou directement concurrents:
a) certains produits laminés plats en acier au carbone, y compris les brames en acier au carbone ou en
aciers alliés;  les tôles (y compris les tôles coupées à la longueur voulue et les tôles plaquées ("tôles");
les produits en acier laminés à chaud (y compris les tôles enroulées) ("produits en acier laminés à
chaud");  les produits en acier laminés à froid (autres qu'en aciers dits magnétiques à grains orientés)("produits en acier laminés à froid");  et les produits en acier résistant à la corrosion et autres produits
en acier revêtus ("produits en acier revêtus") (collectivement dénommés "certains produits plats en
acier");  b) les barres et profilés légers laminés à chaud en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés ("barres
laminées à chaud");  c) les barres parachevées à froid en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés ("barres
parachevées à froid");  d) les barres d'armature en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés ("barresd'armature");  e) les produits tubulaires soudés en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés (autres que les
matériels tubulaires pour puits de pétrole) ("certains produits tubulaires");  f) les brides, accessoires et
joints de tige en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés ("accessoires en acier au carbone ou en aciers
alliés");  g) les barres et profilés légers en aciers inoxydables ("barres en aciers inoxydables");  et h) le
fil machine en aciers inoxydables.  Les avis des membres de l'ITC étaient partagés à égalité en ce qui
concerne la détermination requise au titre de l'article 202 b) au sujet des i) produits en acier au
carbone ou en aciers alliés étamés ou chromés ("produits étamés ou chromés") et des j) fils en aciersinoxydables.
3. L'ITC a donné des définitions détaillées des produits inclus dans les catégories a) à j) du
paragraphe 2, et leurs sous-positions correspondantes, suivant le tarif douanier harmonisé des
États-Unis, dans l'appendice A de sa déte rmination, publiée dans 66 Fed. Reg. 67304, 67308-67311
(28 décembre 2001).  Le 4 février 2002, l'ITC a fourni  des renseignements additionnels en réponse à
une demande du Représentant des États-Unis pour les questions commerciales internationales (USTR)
au titre de l'article 203 a) 5) de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur (19 U.S. 2253 a) 5)) (le "rapport
complémentaire").
4. L'article 330 d) 1) de la Loi douanière de 1930, telle qu'elle a été modifiée (19 U.S.C.
1330 d) 1)), dispose que, lorsque l'ITC est chargée de déterminer en vertu de l'article 202 b) de la Loisur le commerce extérieur si l'accroissement des importations d'un article constitue une cause
substantielle de dommage grave, ou de menace de dommage grave, et que les voix des commissaires
votants sont partagées à égalité en ce qui concerne une telle détermination, la détermination
approuvée par l'un ou l'autre groupe de commissaires peut être considérée par le Président comme la
détermination de l'ITC.  Ayant examiné les déterminations des commissaires en ce qui concerne lesproduits étamés ou chromés et les fils en aciers inoxydables, j'ai décidé de considérer lesG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Page 3
déterminations des groupes de commissaires ayant voté de façon positive en ce qui concerne chacun
de ces produits comme la détermination de l'ITC.
5. Conformément à l'article 311 a) de la Loi portant modalités d'application de l'Accord de
libre-échange nord-américain (la "Loi portant modalités d'application de l'ALENA")(19 U.S.C. 3371 a)), l'ITC a établi des constatations sur le point de savoir si les importations en
provenance du Canada et du Mexique, considérés i ndividuellement, représentent une part substantielle
des importations totales et contribuent de façon importante au dommage grave, ou à la menace de
dommage grave, causé par les importations.  L'ITC a établi des constatations négatives concernant les
importations en provenance du Canada de certains produits plats en acier, de produits étamés ou
chromés, de barres d'armature, de fil machine en aciers inoxydables et de fils en aciers inoxydables;
l'ITC a aussi établi des constatations négatives concernant les importations en provenance du Mexiquede produits étamés ou chromés, de barres laminées à chaud, de barres parachevées à froid, de barres
d'armature, de certains produits tubulaires, de barres en aciers inoxydables, de fil machine en aciers
inoxydables et de fils en aciers inoxydables.  L'ITC a établi des constatations positives concernant les
importations en provenance du Canada de barres laminées à chaud, de barres parachevées à froid,
d'accessoires en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés et de barres en aciers inoxydables;  l'ITC a aussiétabli des constatations positives concernant les importations en provenance du Mexique de certains
produits plats en acier et d'accessoires en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés.  Les avis des membres
de l'ITC étaient partagés à égalité en ce qui concerne les importations en provenance du Canada de
certains produits tubulaires.
6. Les membres de l'ITC ayant voté de façon positive au titre de l'article 202 b) de la Loi sur le
commerce extérieur ont également transmis au Président les recommandations qu'ils avaient
formulées conformément à l'article 202 e) de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur (19 U.S.C. 2252 e)) en
ce qui concerne les mesures qui, à leur avis, permettraient de remédier au dommage grave, ou à la
menace de dommage grave, causé aux branches de production nationales et qui aideraient le plus
efficacement ces branches de production à opérer un ajustement positif à la concurrence desimportations.
7. En vertu de l'article 203 de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur (19 U.S.C. 2253), et après avoir
pris en considération les éléments spécifiés à l'article 203 a) 2) de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur et
le rapport complémentaire de l'ITC, j'ai décidé de mettre en œuvre une mesure du type décrit à
l'article 203 a) 3) (une "mesure de sauvegarde") en ce qui concerne les produits en acier suivants:
a) certains produits plats en acier, à savoir:  les brames visées dans le texte introductif
des sous-positions 9903.72.30 à 9903.72.48 reprises dans l'annexe de la présenteproclamation;  les tôles visées dans le texte introductif des sous-positions 9903.72.50
à 9903.72.62 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation;  les produits en acier
laminés à chaud visés dans le texte introductif des sous-positions 9903.72.65

laminés à froid visés dans le texte introductif des sous-positions 9903.72.85à 9903.73.04 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation;  et les produits en
acier revêtus visés dans le texte introductif des sous-positions 9903.73.07
à 9903.73.23 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation;
b) les barres laminées à chaud visées dans le texte introductif des sous-positions
9903.73.42 à 9903.73.52 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation;
c) les barres parachevées à froid visées dans le texte introductif des sous-positions
9903.73.55 à 9903.73.62 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation;G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1

9903.73.26 à 9903.73.39 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation;  et
j) les fils en aciers inoxydables visés dans le texte introductif des sous-positions
9903.74.18 à 9903.74.24 reprises dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation.  Lesproduits en acier énumérés dans les clauses i) à ix) de la subdivision b) de la note 11
des États-Unis relative au sous-chapitre III du chapitre 99 du tarif douanier harmonisé
("note 11") repris dans l'annexe de la présente proclamation ont été exclus des
déterminations de l'ITC décrites au paragraphe 2, et sont exclus des mesures de
sauvegarde.  J'ai décidé également d'exclure des mesures de sauvegarde les produitsen acier énumérés dans les clauses ultérieures de la subdivision b) de la note 11 de
l'annexe de la présente proclamation.
8. En vertu de l'article 312 a) de la Loi portant modalités d'application de l'ALENA
(19 U.S.C. 3372 a)), j'ai décidé, après avoir examiné le rapport et le rapport complémentaire de l'ITC,
que les importations en provenance du Canada et du Mexique de certains produits plats en acier, de
produits étamés ou chromés, de barres laminées à chaud, de barres parachevées à froid, de barresd'armature, de certains produits tubulaires, d'accessoires en acier au carbone et en aciers alliés, de
barres en aciers inoxydables, de fil machine en aciers inoxydables et de fils en aciers inoxydables,
considérés individuellement, ne représentent pas une part substantielle des importations totales ou ne
contribuent pas de façon importante au dommage grave ou à la menace de dommage grave dont
l'existence a été établie par l'ITC.  En conséquence, en vertu de l'article 312 b) de la Loi portantmodalités d'application de l'ALENA (19 U.S.C. 3372 b)), j'ai exclu des mesures que je prends au titre
de l'article 203 de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur certains produits plats en acier, les produits étamés
ou chromés, les barres laminées à chaud, les barres parachevées à froid, les barres d'armature, certains
produits tubulaires, les accessoires en acier au carbone ou en aciers alliés, les barres en aciers
inoxydables, le fil machine en aciers inoxydables et les fils en aciers inoxydables produits par leMexique ou le Canada.
9. En vertu de l'article 203 de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur (19 U.S.C. 2253), les mesures
que j'ai décidé de prendre seront des mesures de sauvegarde sous la forme:  a) d'un contingent tarifaire
applicable aux importations de brames décrites au paragraphe 7, imposé pour une période de trois ans
et un jour, avec des augmentations annuelles des quantités contingentaires et des réductions annuellesdes taux de droits applicables aux marchandises entrées en dépassement de ces quantités les deuxième
et troisième années;  et b) d'une majoration des droits applicables aux importations de certains
produits plats en acier, autres que les brames (y compris les tôles, les produits en acier laminés àG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Page 5
chaud, les produits en acier laminés à froid et les produits en acier revêtus), de barres laminées à
chaud, de barres parachevées à froid, de barres d'armature, de certains produits tubulaires soudés,
d'accessoires en acier au carbone et en aciers alliés, de barres en aciers inoxydables, de fil machine en
aciers inoxydables, de produits étamés ou chromés et de fils en aciers inoxydables, tels qu'ils sontdécrits au paragraphe 7, imposée pour une période de trois ans et un jour, avec des réductions
annuelles des taux de droits les deuxième et troisième années, ainsi qu'il est indiqué dans l'annexe de
la présente proclamation.
10. Les mesures de sauvegarde décrites au paragraphe 9 ne s'appliqueront pas aux produits
énumérés dans les clauses suivant la clause ix) dans la subdivision b) de la note 11 de l'annexe de la
présente proclamation.
11. Les mesures de sauvegarde s'appliqueront aux importations en provenance de tous les pays, à
l'exception des produits du Canada, d'Israël, de la Jordanie et du Mexique.
12. Les mesures de sauvegarde ne s'appliqueront pas aux importations d'un produit décrit au
paragraphe 7 provenant d'un pays en développement qui est Membre de l'Organisation mondiale du
commerce (OMC), tant que la part de ce pays dans les importations totales du produit, sur la base des
importations effectuées au cours d'une période représentative récente, ne dépassera pas 3 pour cent, àcondition que les importations qui sont le produit de tous les pays dont la part dans les importations
est inférieure à 3 pour cent ne contribuent pas collectivement pour plus de 9 pour cent aux
importations totales du produit.  Si je détermine qu'une poussée soudaine des importations d'un
produit décrit au paragraphe 7 provenant d'un pays en développement Membre de l'OMC nuit à
l'efficacité de la mesure de sauvegarde pertinente, celle-ci sera modifiée pour s'appliquer au produit enprovenance de ce pays.
13. Chaque année, la quantité contingentaire correspondant au contingent tarifaire décrit au
paragraphe 9 sera répartie entre tous les pays à l'exception de ceux dont les produits sont exclus de ce
contingent tarifaire en vertu des paragraphes 11 et 12.
14. En vertu de l'article 203 a) 1) A) de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur
(19 U.S.C. 2253 a) 1) A)), j'ai en outre déterminé que les mesures de sauvegarde sont susceptibles
d'aider la branche de production nationale à opérer un ajustement positif à la concurrence des
importations et que leurs avantages économiques et sociaux seront supérieurs aux coûts.  Si je
détermine que d'autres mesures sont appropriées et susceptibles d'aider la branche de production
concernée à opérer un ajustement positif à la concurrence des importations et que leurs avantages
économiques et sociaux seront supérieurs aux coûts, ou si je détermine que les conditions énumérées à
l'article 204 b) 1) de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur sont remplies, j'allégerai, modifierai ouabrogerai en conséquence les mesures établies dans la présente proclamation.  En outre, si je
détermine, dans les 30 jours suivant la date de la présente proclamation, à la suite de consultations
entre les États-Unis et les autres Membres de l'OMC au titre de l'article 12:3 de l'Accord de l'OMC sur
les sauvegardes, qu'il est nécessaire d'alléger, de modifier ou d'abroger une mesure de sauvegarde, je
proclamerai l'allègement, la modification ou l'abrogation correspondant de la mesure de sauvegardedans un délai de 40 jours.
15. L'article 604 de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur, telle qu'elle a été modifiée
(19 U.S.C. 2483), autorise le Président à incorporer dans le tarif douanier harmonisé la substance des
dispositions pertinentes de cette loi, ainsi que d'autres lois concernant le traitement des importations,
et les mesures qui en relèvent, y compris la suppression, la modification, le maintien ou l'impositiond'un droit de douane ou d'une autre restriction à l'importation.G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1

EN CONSÉQUENCE, MOI, GEORGE W. BUSH, Président des États-Unis d'Amérique,
agissant en vertu des pouvoirs qui me sont conférés par la Constitution et les lois des États-Unis, y
compris mais pas exclusivement les articles 203 et 604 de la Loi sur le commerce extérieur et
l'article 301 du titre 3, United States Code, proclame ce qui suit:
1) Afin d'établir des majorations de droit et un contingent tarifaire pour les importations de
certains produits en acier décrits au paragraphe 7 (autres que les produits exclus), le sous-chapitre III
du chapitre 99 du tarif douanier harmonisé est modifié comme il est indiqué dans l'annexe de la
présente proclamation.  Toute marchandise assujettie à une mesure de sauvegarde qui sera admise
sous régime de zone franche aux États-Unis le 20 mars 2002 ou après cette date devra être admise
avec "statut étranger privilégié", expression définie dans 19 CFR 146.41, et fera l'objet, au moment del'entrée, des restrictions quantitatives ou droits de douane en rapport avec la classification
correspondant à la sous-position du tarif douanier harmonisé qui est applicable.
2) Les importations de certains produits en acier qui sont les produits du Canada, d'Israël, de la
Jordanie ou du Mexique seront exclues des mesures de sauvegarde établies par la présenteproclamation et ne seront pas imputées sur les limites du contingent tarifaire qui déclenchent
l'application des taux de droits hors contingent.
3) À l'exception de ce qui est indiqué dans la clause 4) ci-dessous, les importations de certains
produits en acier qui sont les produits de pays en développement Membres de l'OMC, ainsi qu'il estindiqué dans la subdivision d) i) de la note 11 de l'annexe de la présente proclamation, seront exclues
des mesures de sauvegarde établies par la présente proclamation et ne seront pas imputées sur les
limites du contingent tarifaire qui déclenchent l'application des taux de droits hors contingent.
4) La clause 3) ci-dessus ne s'appliquera pas aux importations d'un produit qui est le produit d'un
pays désigné dans la subdivision d) i) de la note 11 de l'annexe de la présente proclamation si la
subdivision d) ii) de cette note indique que la part de ce pays dans les importations totales du produit
dépasse 3 pour cent, ou que les importations du produit en provenance de tous les pays désignés dont
la part dans les importations est inférieure à 3 pour cent contribuent collectivement pour plus de
9 pour cent aux importations totales du produit.  L'USTR est autorisé à déterminer si une poussée
soudaine des importations d'un produit qui est le produit d'un pays désigné dans la subdivision d) i)
nuit à l'efficacité de la mesure de sauvegarde pertinente et, si c'est le cas, après publication d'un avisau Federal Register , à réviser la subdivision d) de la note 11 de l'annexe de la présente proclamation
pour indiquer que le produit en question provenant de ce pays n'est pas exclu de la mesure de
sauvegarde.
5) Dans les 120 jours suivant la date de la présente proclamation, l'USTR est autorisé à examiner
encore toute demande d'exclusion d'un produit déterminé présentée conformément aux procédures
énoncées dans 66 Fed. Reg. 54321, 54322-54323 (26 octobre 2001) et, après publication au Federal
Register  d'un avis annonçant sa constatation selon laquelle un produit déterminé devrait être exclu, à
modifier les dispositions du tarif douanier harmonisé établies par l'annexe de la présente proclamation
pour exclure ce produit déterminé de la mesure de sauvegarde pertinente établie par la présenteproclamation.
6) En mars de chaque année pendant laquelle une mesure de sauvegarde établie par la présente
proclamation restera en vigueur, l'USTR sera autorisé, après publication au Federal Register  d'un avis
annonçant sa constatation selon laquelle un produit déterminé devrait être exclu, à modifier lesdispositions du tarif douanier harmonisé établies par l'annexe de la présente proclamation pour exclure
ce produit déterminé de la mesure de sauvegarde pertinente établie par la présente proclamation.G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Page 7
7) Les dispositions de proclamations et décrets antérieurs qui sont incompatibles avec les
mesures prises dans la présente proclamation sont supprimées pour remédier à cette incompatibilité.
8) Les modifications apportées au tarif douanier harmonisé par la présente proclamation, y
compris l'annexe de celle-ci, prendront effet en ce qui concerne les marchandises qui seront entrées,
ou auront été retirées d'entrepôt, pour mise à la consommation, le 20 mars 2002 à 0h.01, heure de la
côte Atlantique des États-Unis, ou après cette date, et resteront en vigueur ainsi qu'il est indiqué dans
l'annexe de la présente proclamation, à moins que les mesures en question soient expressément
allégées, modifiées ou abrogées plus tôt.  À la fermeture des bureaux le 21 mars 2006, ou à une autre
date postérieure d'un an au terme des mesures de sauvegarde établies dans la présente proclamation, la
note et les dispositions tarifaires des États-Unis établies dans l'annexe de la présente proclamationseront retirées du tarif douanier harmonisé.
EN FOI DE QUOI, j'ai signé la présente déclaration le cinq mars deux mil deux, deux cent
vingt-six ans après l'Indépendance des États-Unis d'Amérique.
