Emergency Measures. Parties shall, in close cooperation with each other whenever possible and relevant, develop and implement emergency measures for populations listed in Table 1, when exceptionally unfavourable or endangering conditions occur anywhere in the Agreement Area.
Emergency Measures. 1. If, as a result of the implementation of this Agreement, import of a particular product eligible under the CEPT Scheme is increasing in such a manner as to cause or threaten to cause serious injury to sectors producing like or directly competitive products in the importing Member States, the importing Member States may, to the extent and for such time as may be necessary to prevent or to remedy such injury, suspend preferences provisionally and without discrimination, subject to Article 6 (3) of this Agreement. Such suspension of preferences shall be consistent with the GATT.
2. Without prejudice to existing international obligations, a Member State, which finds it necessary to create or intensify quantitative restrictions or other measures limiting imports with a view to forestalling the threat of or stopping a serious decline of its monetary reserves, shall endeavour to do so in a manner, which safeguards the value of the concessions agreed upon.
3. Where emergency measures are taken pursuant to this Article, immediate notice of such action shall be given to the Council referred to in Article 7 of this Agreement, and such action may be the subject of consultation as provided for in Article 8 of this Agreement.
Emergency Measures. 1. Subject to the provisions of this Article, each Party may, as an emergency measure, to the minimum extent necessary to prevent or remedy the serious injury to a domestic industry of that Party and to facilitate adjustment:
(a) suspend the further reduction of any rate of customs duty on the originating good provided for in this Chapter; or
(b) increase the rate of customs duty on the originating good to a level not to exceed the lesser of:
(i) the most-favored-nation applied rate of customs duty in effect on the day when the emergency measure is taken; and
(ii) the most-favored-nation applied rate of customs duty in effect on the day immediately preceding the date of entry into force of this Agreement; if an originating good of the other Party, as a result of the elimination or reduction of a customs duty in accordance with Article 18, is being imported into the former Party in such increased quantities, in absolute terms or relative to domestic production, and under such conditions that the imports of that originating good constitute a substantial cause of serious injury, or threat thereof, to a domestic industry of the former Party.
2. Each Party shall not apply emergency measures on an originating good imported up to the limit of quota quantities granted under tariff rate quotas applied in accordance with Schedule in Annex 1.
(a) A Party may take an emergency measure only after an investigation has been carried out by the competent authorities of that Party in accordance with the procedures provided for in each Party’s relevant domestic laws and regulations that are consistent with Article 3 and paragraph 2 of Article 4 of the Agreement on Safeguards in Annex 1A to the WTO Agreement (hereinafter referred to in this Chapter as “the Agreement on Safeguards”).
(b) The investigation referred to in subparagraph (a) above shall in all cases be completed within one
(1) year following its date of initiation.
(a) In critical circumstances, where delay would cause damage which it would be difficult to repair, a Party may take a provisional emergency measure, which shall take the form of the measure set out in subparagraph 1(a) or (b) above, pursuant to a preliminary determination that there is clear evidence that increased imports of an originating good have caused or are threatening to cause serious injury to a domestic industry.
(b) The Party shall deliver a written notice to the other Party prior to applying a provisional emergency measure. Consultations be...

2. The Party adopting measures under paragraph 1 shall inform the other Parties as soon as possible, and in any case no later than one working day following the date of the adoption of the measure. The other Parties may request any information related to the sanitary situation of the Party adopting the measure, as well as to the measure itself. The Party adopting the measure shall answer as soon as the requested information is available.
3. Upon request of a Party, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 97, the Parties shall hold consultations regarding the situation within 15 working days following the date of receipt of the request for consultations.

For consignments in transit between the Parties, the importing Party shall consider the most suitable and proportional solution in order to avoid unnecessary disruptions to trade.
Emergency Measures. If a Party adopts an emergency measure that is necessary for the protection of human, animal or plant life or health and that may have an effect on trade, that Party shall immediately notify the relevant exporting Parties in writing through the contact point or contact points designated under Article 5.15 (Contact Points and Competent Authorities) or already established communication channels of the Parties. The relevant exporting Parties may request discussions with the Party adopting an emergency measure referred to in paragraph 1. Such discussions shall be held as soon as practicable. Each Party participating in the discussions shall endeavour to provide relevant information, and shall take due account of any information provided through the discussions. If a Party adopts an emergency measure, it shall review that measure within a reasonable period of time or on request of the exporting Party. The importing Party may, if necessary, request relevant information and the exporting Party shall endeavour to provide the relevant information to assist the importing Party in its review of the adopted emergency measure. The importing Party shall provide the result of the review to the exporting Party upon request. If the emergency measure is maintained after the review, the importing Party should review the measure periodically based on the most recent available information, and upon request, shall explain the reason for the continuation of the emergency measure.
