Summary: | This report summarizes the measures of
contingent protection regulated by the WTO and their
purposes. They can be divided into two categories. The first
one regards temporary provisions that can be used when a
predefined set of circumstances legitimize temporary
increases in import barriers. The second one includes
permanent exceptions to the general obligations. Temporary
restrictions allowed by the WTO are anti-dumping duties,
countervailing duties, and safeguard measures, (tariffs to
assist with balance of payments problems, tariffs to protect
infant industries, or tariffs for emergency protection).
Permanent exceptions are general waivers from binding
obligations, which, in contrast with the other mechanisms,
must be formally approved by the WTO Council. |
