Question Posed by CANADA
Regarding the Notification of the BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA1
The following communication, dated 17 April 2000, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Canada.
_______________
In determining whether there is serious injury or a threat thereof, Venezuelan legislation
allows consideration of the impact on food security, in the case of agricultural products (Chapter II,
Article 4.2).  What is the WTO justification for considering "the impact on food security" indetermining injury?
