2. For greater certainty, the differences in treatment pursuant to paragraph 1 shall not be considered to be inconsistent with Article G-03 (Investment - Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment).

Annex C-00-B

Textile and Apparel Goods

Section 1: Scope and Coverage¹

1. This Annex applies to the textile and apparel goods set out in Appendix 1.1.
2. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing or any other existing or future agreement applicable to trade in textile or apparel goods, this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency, unless the Parties agree otherwise.

Section 2: Duty-free Treatment of Certain Goods

The Parties may identify at any time particular textile and apparel goods that they mutually agree fall within:

(a) hand-loomed fabrics of a cottage industry;

(b) hand-made cottage industry goods made of such hand-loomed fabrics; or

(c) traditional folklore handicraft goods.

The importing Party shall grant duty-free treatment to goods so identified, if certified by the competent authority of the exporting Party.

1. Subject to paragraphs 2 through 5 and during the transition period only, if, as a result of the reduction or elimination of a duty provided for in this Agreement, a textile or apparel good originating in the territory of a Party, or a good that has been integrated into the WTO and entered under a tariff preference level set out in Appendix 5.1, is being imported into the territory of the other Party in such increased quantities, in absolute terms or relative to the domestic market for that good, and under such conditions as to cause serious damage, or actual threat thereof, to a domestic industry producing a like or directly competitive good, the importing Party may, to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the damage or actual threat thereof:

(a) suspend the further reduction of any rate of duty provided for under this Agreement on the good; or

(b) increase the rate of duty on the good to a level not to exceed the lesser of

(i) the most favoured nation (MFN) applied rate of duty in effect at the time the action is taken, and

(ii) the MFN applied rate of duty in effect on the day immediately preceding the date of entry into force of this Agreement.

2. In determining serious damage, or actual threat thereof, the Party:

(a) shall examine the effect of increased imports on the particular industry, as reflected in changes in such relevant economic variables as output, productivity, utilization of capacity, inventories, market share, exports, wages, employment, domestic prices, profits and investment, none of which is necessarily decisive; and

(b) shall not consider changes in technology or consumer preference as factors supporting a determination of serious damage or actual threat thereof.

3. A Party shall deliver without delay to the other Party written notice of its intent to take such action, and on request shall enter into consultations with that Party.
4. The following conditions and limitations apply to any emergency action taken under this Section:

(a) no action may be maintained for a period exceeding three years or, except with the consent of the Party against whose good the action is taken, have effect beyond the expiration of the transition period;

(b) no action may be taken by a Party against any particular good originating in the territory of the other Party more than once during the transition period; and

(c) on termination of the action, the rate of duty shall be the rate that, according to the Schedule for the staged elimination of the tariff, would have been in effect one year after the initiation of the action, and beginning January 1 of the year following the termination of the action, at the option of the Party that has taken the action

(i) the rate of duty shall conform to the applicable rate set out in that Party's Schedule to Annex C-02.2, or

(ii) the tariff shall be eliminated in equal annual stages ending on the date set out in that Party's Schedule to Annex C-02.2 for the elimination of the tariff.

5. The Party taking an action under this Section shall provide to the other Party mutually agreed trade liberalizing compensation in the form of concessions having substantially equivalent trade effects or equivalent to the value of the additional duties expected to result from the action. Such concessions shall be limited to the textile and apparel goods set out in Appendix 1.1, unless the Parties otherwise agree. If the Parties are unable to agree on compensation, the exporting Party may take tariff action having trade effects substantially equivalent to the action taken under this Section against any goods imported from the other Party. The Party taking the tariff action shall only apply the action for the minimum period necessary to achieve the substantially equivalent effects.

1. A Party may take bilateral emergency action against non-originating textile or apparel goods of the other Party in accordance with this Section and Appendix 4.1.
2. If a Party considers that a non-originating textile or apparel good, including a good entered under a tariff preference level set out in Appendix 5.1, is being imported into its territory from the other Party in such increased quantities, in absolute terms or relative to the domestic market for that good, under such conditions as to cause serious damage, or actual threat thereof, to a domestic industry producing a like or directly competitive good in the importing Party, the importing Party may request consultations with the other Party with a view to eliminating the serious damage or actual threat thereof.
3. The Party requesting consultations shall include in its request for consultations the reasons that it considers demonstrate that such serious damage or actual threat thereof to its domestic industry is resulting from the imports of the other Party, including the latest data concerning such damage or threat.
4. In determining serious damage, or actual threat thereof, the Party shall apply Section 3(2).
5. The Parties shall begin consultations within 60 days of the request for consultations and shall endeavour to agree on a mutually satisfactory level of restraint on exports of the particular good within 90 days of the request, unless the Parties agree to extend this period. In reaching a mutually satisfactory level of export restraint, the Parties shall:
(a) consider the situation in the market in the importing Party;

(b) consider the history of trade in textile and apparel goods between the Parties, including previous levels of trade; and

(c) seek to ensure that the textile and apparel goods imported from the territory of the exporting Party are accorded equitable treatment as compared with treatment accorded like textile and apparel goods from non-Party suppliers.³

6. If the Parties do not agree on a mutually satisfactory level of export restraint, the Party requesting consultations may impose annual quantitative restrictions on imports of the good from the territory of the other Party, subject to paragraphs 7 through 13.
7. Any quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 shall be no less than the sum of:

(a) the quantity of the good imported into the territory of the Party requesting consultations from the other Party, as reported in general import statistics of the importing Party, during the first 12 of the most recent 14 months preceding the month in which the request for consultations was made; and

(b) 20 per cent of such quantity for cotton, manmade fibre and other non-cotton vegetable fibre good categories, and six per cent for wool good categories.

8. The first period of any quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 shall begin on the day after the date on which the request for consultations was made and terminate at the end of the calendar year in which the quantitative restriction is imposed. Any quantitative restriction that is imposed for a first period of less than 12 months shall be prorated to correspond to the time remaining in the calendar year in which the restriction is imposed, and the prorated amount may be adjusted in accordance with the flexibility provisions set out in Appendix 4.1.
9. For each successive calendar year that the quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 remains in effect, the Party imposing it shall:

(a) increase it by six per cent for cotton, man-made fibre and non-cotton vegetable fibre textile and apparel goods, and by two per cent for wool textile and apparel goods, and

(b) accelerate the growth rate for quantitative restrictions on cotton, man-made fibre and non-cotton vegetable fibre textile and apparel goods as required by the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing,

and the flexibility provisions set out in Appendix 4.1 apply.

Appendix 5.1 sets out special provisions applicable to certain textile and apparel goods.

For purposes of this Annex:
average yarn number, as applied to woven fabrics of cotton or man-made fibres, means the average yarn number of the yarns contained therein. In computing the average yarn number, the length of the yarn is considered to be equal to the distance covered by it in the fabric, with all clipped yarn being measured as if continuous and with the count being taken of the total single yarns in the fabric including the single yarns in any multiple (folded) or cabled yarns. The weight shall be taken after any excessive sizing is removed by boiling or other suitable process. Any of the following formulas can be used to determine the average yarn number:

N =	BYT ,	100T ,	BT	or	ST
	1,000	Z'	Z		10

when:

N is the average yarn number,
B is the breadth (width) of the fabric in centimetres,
Y is the metres (linear) of the fabric per kilogram,
T is the total single yarns per square centimetre,
S is the square metres of fabric per kilogram,
Z is the grams per linear metre of fabric, and
Z' is the grams per square metre of fabric.

Fractions in the resulting "average yarn number" shall be disregarded;

exporting Party means the Party from whose territory a textile or apparel good is exported;

flexibility provisions means the provisions set out in Appendix 4.1;

importing Party means the Party into whose territory a textile or apparel good is imported;

integrated into the WTO means subject to the obligations of the WTO Agreement;

specific limit means a level of exports for a particular textile or apparel good that may be adjusted in accordance with Appendix 4.1;

square metres equivalent (SME) means that unit of measurement that results from the application of the conversion factors set out in Appendix 5.2 to a primary unit of measure such as unit, dozen or kilogram;

tariff preference level (TPL) means a mechanism that provides for the application of a customs duty at a preferential rate to imports of a particular good up to a specified quantity, and at a different rate to imports of that good that exceed that quantity;

transition period means the six-year period beginning on the date of entry into force of this Agreement;

wool apparel means:

(a) apparel in chief weight of wool;

(b) woven apparel in chief weight of manmade fibres containing 36 per cent or more by weight of wool; and

(c) knitted or crocheted apparel in chief weight of manmade fibres containing 23 per cent or more by weight of wool;

wool fabric means:

(a) fabric in chief weight of wool;

(b) woven fabric in chief weight of man-made fibres containing 36 per cent or more by weight of wool; and

(c) knitted or crocheted fabric in chief weight of man-made fibres containing 23 per cent or more by weight of wool; and

Flexibility Provisions

1. Adjustments to annual specific limits (SLs), may be made as follows:

(a) the exporting Party may increase the SL for a calendar year by no more than six per cent ("swing").

(b) in addition to any increase of its SL under subparagraph (a), the exporting Party may increase its unadjusted SL for that year by no more than 11 per cent by allocating to such SL for that calendar year (the "receiving year") an unused portion ("shortfall") of the corresponding SL for the previous calendar year ("carryover") or a portion of the corresponding SL for the following calendar year ("carryforward"), as follows:

(i) subject to subparagraph (iii), the exporting Party may utilize carryover, as available, up to 11 per cent of the unadjusted SL for the receiving year,

(ii) the exporting Party may utilize carryforward charged against the corresponding SL for the following calendar year, up to six per cent of the unadjusted SL for the receiving year,

(iii) the combination of the exporting Party's carryover and carryforward shall not exceed 11 per cent of the unadjusted SL in the receiving year, and

(iv) carryover may be utilized only following confirmation by the importing Party that sufficient shortfall exists. If the importing Party does not consider that sufficient shortfall exists, it shall promptly provide data to the exporting Party to support that view. Where substantial statistical differences exist between the import and export data on which the shortfall is computed, the Parties shall seek to resolve these differences promptly.

Chapter D

Rules of Origin

Article D-01: Originating Goods

Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, a good shall originate in the territory of a Party where:

(a) the good is wholly obtained or produced entirely in the territory of one or both of the Parties, as defined in Article D-16;

(b) each of the non-originating materials used in the production of the good undergoes an applicable change in tariff classification set out in Annex D-01 as a result of production occurring entirely in the territory of one or both of the Parties, or the good otherwise satisfies the applicable requirements of that Annex where no change in tariff classification is required, and the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of this Chapter;

(c) the good is produced entirely in the territory of one or both of the Parties exclusively from originating materials; or

(d) except for a good provided for in Chapters 61 through 63 of the Harmonized System, the good is produced entirely in the territory of one or both of the Parties but one or more of the non-originating materials that are used in the production of the good do not undergo a change in tariff classification because

(i) the good was imported into the territory of a Party in an unassembled or a disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good pursuant to Rule 2(a) of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, or

(ii) the heading for the good provides for and specifically describes both the good itself and its parts and is not further subdivided into subheadings, or the subheading for the good provides for and specifically describes both the good itself and its parts,

provided that the regional value content of the good, determined in accordance with Article D-02, is not less than 35 per cent where the transaction value method is used, or is not less than 25 per cent where the net cost method is used, and that the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of this Chapter¹.

Annex D-01: Specific Rules of Origin

Article D-02: Regional Value Content

1. Except as provided in paragraph 5, each Party shall provide that the regional value content of a good shall be calculated, at the choice of the exporter or producer of the good, on the basis of either the transaction value method set out in paragraph 2 or the net cost method set out in paragraph 3.

2. Each Party shall provide that an exporter or producer may calculate the regional value content of a good on the basis of the following transaction value method:
        TV - VNM
   
   RVC = -------------- x 100
   
           TV

   where

   RVC is the regional value content, expressed as a percentage;

   TV is the transaction value of the good adjusted to a F.O.B. basis; and

   VNM is the value of non-originating materials used by the producer in the production of the good.

3. Each Party shall provide that an exporter or producer may calculate the regional value content of a good on the basis of the following net cost method:
       NC - VNM
   RVC = -------------- x 100
   
           NC

   where

   RVC is the regional value content, expressed as a percentage;

   NC is the net cost of the good; and

   VNM is the value of non-originating materials used by the producer in the production of the good.

4. The value of non-originating materials used by the producer in the production of a good shall not, for purposes of calculating the regional value content of the good under paragraph 2 or 3, include the value of non-originating materials used to produce originating materials that are subsequently used in the production of the good².
5. Each Party shall provide that an exporter or producer shall calculate the regional value content of a good solely on the basis of the net cost method set out in paragraph 3 where:
   (a) there is no transaction value for the good;

   (b) the transaction value of the good is unacceptable under Article 1 of the Customs Valuation Code;

   (c) the good is sold by the producer to a related person and the volume, by units of quantity, of sales of identical or similar goods to related persons during the six-month period immediately preceding the month in which the good is sold exceeds 85 per cent of the producer's total sales of such goods during that period;

   (d) the good is

   (i) a motor vehicle,

   (ii) identified in Annex D-03.1 and is for use in a motor vehicle, or

   (iii) provided for in subheading 6401.10 through 6406.10;

   (e) the exporter or producer chooses to accumulate the regional value content of the good in accordance with Article D-04; or

   (f) the good is designated as an intermediate material under paragraph 10 and is subject to a regional value-content requirement.

6. If an exporter or producer of a good calculates the regional value content of the good on the basis of the transaction value method set out in paragraph 2 and a Party subsequently notifies the exporter or producer, during the course of a verification pursuant to Chapter E (Customs Procedures), that the transaction value of the good, or the value of any material used in the production of the good, is required to be adjusted or is unacceptable under Article 1 of the Customs Valuation Code, the exporter or producer may then also calculate the regional value content of the good on the basis of the net cost method set out in paragraph 3.
7. Nothing in paragraph 6 shall be construed to prevent any review or appeal available under Article E-10 (Review and Appeal) of an adjustment to or a rejection of:

(a) the transaction value of a good; or

(b) the value of any material used in the production of a good.

8. For purposes of calculating the net cost of a good under paragraph 3, the producer of the good may:

(a) calculate the total cost incurred with respect to all goods produced by that producer, subtract any sales promotion, marketing and after-sales service costs, royalties, shipping and packing costs, and non-allowable interest costs that are included in the total cost of all such goods, and then reasonably allocate the resulting net cost of those goods to the good;

(b) calculate the total cost incurred with respect to all goods produced by that producer, reasonably allocate the total cost to the good, and then subtract any sales promotion, marketing and after-sales service costs, royalties,shipping and packing costs and non-allowable interest costs that are included in the portion of the total cost allocated to the good; or

(c) reasonably allocate each cost that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to the good so that the aggregate of these costs does not include any sales promotion, marketing and after-sales service costs, royalties, shipping and packing costs, and non-allowable interest costs,

provided that the allocation of all such costs is consistent with the provisions regarding the reasonable allocation of costs set out in the Uniform Regulations, established under Article E-11 (Customs Procedures - Uniform Regulations)³.

9. Except as provided in paragraph 11, the value of a material used in the production of a good shall:
(a) be the transaction value of the material determined in accordance with Article 1 of the Customs Valuation Code; or

(b) in the event that there is no transaction value or the transaction value of the material is unacceptable under Article 1 of the Customs Valuation Code, be determined in accordance with Articles 2 through 7 of the Customs Valuation Code; and

(c) where not included under subparagraph (a) or (b), include

(i) freight, insurance, packing and all other costs incurred in transporting the material to the location of the producer,

(ii) duties, taxes and customs brokerage fees on the material paid in the territory of one or both of the Parties, and

(iii) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the use of the material in the production of the good, less the value of renewable scrap or by-product.

10. Any self-produced material that is used in the production of a good may be designated by the producer of the good as an intermediate material for the purpose of calculating the regional value content of the good under paragraph 2 or 3, provided that where the intermediate material is subject to a regional value-content requirement, no other self-produced material subject to a regional value-content requirement used in the production of that intermediate material may itself be designated by the producer as an intermediate material⁴.
11. The value of an intermediate material shall be:
    (a) the total cost incurred with respect to all goods produced by the producer of the good that can be reasonably allocated to that intermediate material; or

    (b) the aggregate of each cost that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to that intermediate material that can be reasonably allocated to that intermediate material.

12. The value of an indirect material shall be based on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable in the territory of the Party in which the good is produced.
13. Notwithstanding the regional value-content requirement specified in an applicable rule in Annex D-01 for the tariff provision under which a good is classified, a good shall be an originating good where:

(a) the good is provided in tariff item 6402.19.aa (sports footwear with rubber or plastic soles and uppers, for golf, hiking, running or curling), subheading 6402.99, tariff item 6403.19.aa (sports footwear with leather uppers, for riding, golf, hiking, climbing, curling, bowling, skating or training), subheading 6403.40 or 6403.91, tariff item 6404.11.aa (hiking footwear with rubber soles and canvas uppers), 6404.11.bb (hiking footwear with plastic soles and canvas uppers) or 6404.19.aa (shoes or sandals with plastic soles and canvas uppers) or subheading 6406.10;

(b) each of the non-originating materials used in the production of the good undergoes the change of tariff classification specified in the applicable rule in Annex D-01 for that tariff provision;

(c) the regional value content of that good is not less than

(i) 40 per cent under the net cost method for the period January 1, 1997, to December 31, 1997,

(ii) 45 per cent under the net cost method for the period January 1, 1998, to December 31, 1998,

(iii) 50 per cent under the net cost method for the period January 1, 1999, to December 31, 1999, and

(iv) 55 per cent under the net cost method on January 1, 2000, and thereafter; and

Annex D-03.2

Regional Value-Content Calculation for Related Motor Vehicle Producer

1. For the purpose of Article D-03, in determining whether motor vehicles produced by a motor vehicle producer in the territory of a Party and imported into the territory of the other Party qualify as originating goods, the producer may average its calculation of the regional value content of a class of motor vehicles or a model line of motor vehicles produced in a fiscal year in the territory of a Party ("the territory of production") by that producer for sale in the territory of the other Party with the calculation of the regional value content of the corresponding class of motor vehicles or model line of motor vehicles produced in the territory of production by a related producer in the fiscal year that corresponds most closely to the producer's fiscal year, provided that:

   (a) the related group acquires 75 per cent or more by unit of quantity of the class of motor vehicles or model line of motor vehicles, as the case may be, that the producer has produced in the territory of a Party in that fiscal year for sale in the territory of the other Party;

   (b) the producer and the related producer each produced motor vehicles in the territory of the same Party at any time up to two years from the date of coming into force of this Agreement; and

   (c) where a producer otherwise qualifies under this Annex, notice of such qualification has been provided by the Party referred to in paragraph (b) to the other Party no later than two years from the date of coming into force of this Agreement.

2. If the related group acquires less than 75 per cent by unit by quantity of the class of motor vehicles or model line of motor vehicles, as the case may be, that the producer has produced in the territory of a Party in that fiscal year for sale in the territory of the other Party, the producer may average in the manner set out in paragraph 1 only those motor vehicles that are acquired by the related producer for distribution under the marque of either the producer or the related group.
3. In calculating the regional value content of motor vehicles produced by the producer in the territory of a Party, the producer may choose to average the calculation in paragraph 1 or 2 over a period of two fiscal years in the event that any motor vehicle assembly plant operated by the producer or any motor vehicle assembly plant operated by the related producer with which the producer is averaging its regional value content is closed for more than two consecutive months:

(a) for the purpose of re-tooling for a model change, or

(b) as the result of any event or circumstance (other than the imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties, or an interruption of operations resulting from a labour strike, lock-out, labour dispute, picketing or boycott of or by employees), that the producer or the related producer could not reasonably have been expected to avert by corrective action or by exercise of due care and diligence, including a shortage of materials, failure of utilities, or inability to obtain or delay in obtaining raw materials, parts, fuel or utilities.

The averaging may be for the producer's fiscal year in which a motor vehicle producer's or a related producer's plant with which the producer is averaging is closed and either theprevious or subsequent fiscal year. In the event that the period of closure spans two fiscal years, the averaging may be only for those two fiscal years.

4. For the purposes of this Annex, where as a result of an amalgamation, reorganization, division or similar transaction:

(a) a motor vehicle producer (the "successor producer") acquires all or substantially all of the assets used by the related group; and

(b) the successor producer, directly or indirectly controls, or is controlled by, the related group, or both the successor producer and the related group are controlled by the same person,

the successor producer shall be deemed to be the related producer.

5. For the purposes of this Annex:

(a) a motor vehicle producer is related to another motor vehicle producer when it owns 50 per cent or more of the common voting stock of the other motor vehicle producer at the beginning of the other motor vehicle producer's fiscal year;

(b) marque means the trade name used by a separate marketing division of a producer of motor vehicles and any related persons or joint ventures in which the producer participates;

(c) producer means a motor vehicle producer;

(d) related group means a related producer and any subsidiary directly or indirectly owned by it or by any combination thereof; and

(e) related producer means a motor vehicle producer that is related to another motor vehicle producer within the meaning of subparagraph (a).

Any Party taking an emergency action under Article XIX of the GATT 1994 and the Agreement on Safeguards of the WTO Agreement shall exclude imports of a good from the other Party from the action unless:

   (a) imports from the other Party account for a substantial share of total imports; and

   (b) imports from the other Party contribute importantly to the serious injury, or threat thereof, caused by imports.

2. In determining whether:

   (a) imports from the other Party account for a substantial share of total imports, those imports normally shall not be considered to account for a substantial share of total imports if that Party is not among the top five suppliers of the good subject to the proceeding, measured in terms of import share during the most recent three-year period; and

   (b) imports from the other Party contribute importantly to the serious injury, or threat thereof, the competent investigating authority shall consider such factors as the change in the import share of the other Party, and the level and change in the level of imports of the other Party. In this regard, imports from a Party normally shall not be deemed to contribute importantly to serious injury, or the threat thereof, if the growth rate of imports from a Party during the period in which the injurious surge in imports occurred is appreciably lower than the growth rate of total imports from all sources over the same period.

3. A Party taking such action, from which a good from the other Party is initially excluded pursuant to paragraph 1, shall have the right subsequently to include that goodfrom the other Party in the action in the event that the competent investigating authority determines that a surge in imports of such good from the other Party undermines the effectiveness of the action.

4. A Party shall, without delay, deliver written notice to the other Party of the institution of a proceeding that may result in emergency action under paragraph 1 or 3.

5. Neither Party may impose restrictions on a good in an action under paragraph 1 or 3:

   (a) without delivery of prior written notice to the Commission, and without adequate opportunity for consultation with the other Party, as far in advance of taking the action as practicable; and

   (b) that would have the effect of reducing imports of such good from the other Party below the trend of imports of the good from that Party over a recent representative base period with allowance for reasonable growth.

6. The Party taking an action pursuant to this Article shall provide to the other Party mutually agreed trade liberalizing compensation in the form of concessions having substantially equivalent trade effects or equivalent to the value of the additional duties expected to result from the action. If the Parties are unable to agree on compensation, the Party against whose good the action is taken may take action having trade effects substantially equivalent to the action taken under paragraph 1 or 3.

Article F-03: Administration of Emergency Action Proceedings

1. Each Party shall ensure the consistent, impartial and reasonable administration of its laws, regulations, decisions and rulings governing all emergency action proceedings.

Notice Requirement

1. On instituting an emergency action proceeding, the competent investigating authority shall publish notice of the institution of the proceeding in the official journal of the Party. The notice shall identify the petitioner or other requester, the imported good that is the subject of the proceeding and its tariff subheading, the nature and timing of the determination to be made, the time and place of the public hearing, dates of deadlines for filing briefs, statements and other documents, the place at which the petition and any other documents filed in the course of the proceeding may be inspected, and the name, address and telephone number of the office to be contacted for more information.
2. With respect to an emergency action proceeding instituted on the basis of a petition or complaint filed by an entity asserting that it is representative of the domestic industry, the competent investigating authority shall not publish the notice required by paragraph 5 without first assessing carefully that the petition or complaint meets the requirements of paragraph 3, including representativeness.

Public Hearing

1. In the course of each proceeding, the competent investigating authority shall:

(a) hold a public hearing, after providing reasonable notice, to allow all interested parties, and any association whose purpose is to represent the interests of consumers in the territory of the Party instituting the proceeding, to appear in person or by counsel, to present evidence and to be heard on the questions of serious injury, or threat thereof, and the appropriate remedy; and

(b) provide an opportunity to all interested parties and any such association appearing at the hearing to crossquestion interested parties making presentations at that hearing.

Confidential Information

Evidence of Injury and Causation

1. In conducting its proceeding the competent investigating authority shall gather, to the best of its ability, all relevant information appropriate to the determination it must make. It shall evaluate all relevant factors of an objective and quantifiable nature having a bearing on the situation of that industry, including the rate and amount of the increase in imports of the good concerned, in absolute and relative terms as appropriate, the share of the domestic market taken by increased imports, and changes in the level of sales, production, productivity, capacity utilization, profits and losses, and employment. Inmaking its determination, the competent investigating authority may also consider other economic factors, such as changes in prices and inventories, and the ability of firms in the industry to generate capital.
2. The competent investigating authority shall not make an affirmative injury determination unless its investigation demonstrates, on the basis of objective evidence, the existence of a clear causal link between increased imports of the good concerned and serious injury, or threat thereof. Where factors other than increased imports are causing injury to the domestic industry at the same time, such injury shall not be attributed to increased imports.

Deliberation and Report

1. Except in critical circumstances and in global actions involving perishable agricultural goods, the competent investigating authority, before making an affirmative determination in an emergency action proceeding, shall allow sufficient time to gather and consider the relevant information, hold a public hearing and provide an opportunity for all interested parties and consumer associations to prepare and submit their views.
2. The competent investigating authority shall publish promptly a report, including a summary thereof in the official journal of the Party, setting out its findings and reasoned conclusions on all pertinent issues of law and fact. The report shall describe the imported good and its tariff item number, the standard applied and the finding made. The statement of reasons shall set out the basis for the determination, including a description of:

(a) the domestic industry seriously injured or threatened with serious injury;

(b) information supporting a finding that imports are increasing, the domestic industry is seriously injured or threatened with serious injury, and increasing imports are causing or threatening serious injury; and

(c) if provided for by domestic law, any finding or recommendation regarding the appropriate remedy and the basis therefore.

3. In its report, the competent investigating authority shall not disclose any confidential information provided pursuant to any undertaking concerning confidential information that may have been made in the course of the proceedings.

Article G-11: Special Formalities and Information Requirements

1. Nothing in Article G-02 shall be construed to prevent a Party from adopting or maintaining a measure that prescribes special formalities in connection with the establishment of investments by investors of the other Party, such as a requirement that investors be residents of the Party or that investments be legally constituted under the laws or regulations of the Party, provided that such formalities do not materially impair the protections afforded by a Party to investors of the other Party and investments of investors of the other Party pursuant to this Chapter.
2. Notwithstanding Articles G-02 or G-03, a Party may require an investor of the other Party, or its investment in its territory, to provide routine information concerning that investment solely for informational or statistical purposes.

2. A requirement by a Party that a service provider of the other Party post a bond or other form of financial security as a condition of providing a service into its territory does not of itself make this Chapter applicable to the provision of that crossborder service. This Chapter applies to that Party's treatment of the posted bond or financial security.

Article G-14: Environmental Measures

1. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prevent a Party from adopting, maintaining or enforcing any measure otherwise consistent with this Chapter that it considers appropriate to ensure that investment activity in its territory is undertaken in a manner sensitive to environmental concerns.
2. The Parties recognize that it is inappropriate to encourage investment by relaxing domestic health, safety or environmental measures. Accordingly, a Party should not waive or otherwise derogate from, or offer to waive or otherwise derogate from, such measures as an encouragement for the establishment, acquisition, expansion or retention in its territory of an investment of an investor. If a Party considers that the other Party has offered such an encouragement, it may request consultations with the other Party and the two Parties shall consult with a view to avoiding any such encouragement.

Article G-15: Energy Regulatory Measures
