Questions posed the UNITED STATES
Regarding the Notification of CHILE1
The following communication, dated 11 May 2000, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the United States.
_______________
We are concerned that Chile’s very brief, combined Article 12.1(b)-12.1(c) notification
provides little in the way of analysis of the factors Chile has identified that are threatening seriousinjury to the domestic industry.
• Please provide to the Safeguards Committee a copy of the underlying determination(s).  This
would enable both the Committee and affected exporting members to better evaluate Chile’sfinding of threat of serious injury and its determination to apply a safeguard measure.
• Has Chile excluded any exporting countries from the application of the safeguard measure?  If
so, please identify them and explain the basis for doing so.
