Multilateral Trade Negotiations: Simulation Exercise in Rules Negotiations Emergency Safeguard Measures under the GATS B. K. Zutshi August 23, 2007 CUTS Institute for Regulation & Competition Training Programme on Commercial and Economic Diplomacy August 2007, Royal Orchid, Jaipur

Simulation Exercise in Rules Negotiations:ESM Elements and a Possible Form Core elements:  Situations justifying an emergency safeguard action  Modal application of safeguard measures  Concept of “like service”  Definition of “domestic industry”  Issue of “acquired rights”  Indicators and criteria  Applicable measures  Compensation  Special and differential (S&D) treatment  Administrative provisions such as notification, consultation, transparency and surveillance mechanism 2 B. K. Zutshi

Simulation Exercise in Rules Negotiations :ESM Elements and a Possible Form Contd. Possible forms of ESM  A “horizontal” safeguard mechanism (including the so-called “goods model”) whereby a safeguard measure would be available across-the-board in all schedule sectors.  A “scheduled” safeguard mechanism (including safeguards linked to commitments), whereby safeguard measures would be available to the extent that they have been scheduled in respect of the relevant sector(s) or commitment(s).  A “consensus-based” safeguard mechanism, whereby a Member would be able to apply a safeguard measure with the approval of the other Members (through the Council for Trade in Services, for instance). 3 B. K. Zutshi

Simulation Exercise in Rules Negotiations :ESM Elements and a Possible Form Contd. Possible forms of ESM Contd.  A “core” safeguard mechanism, whereby the invoking Member would be able to temporarily suspend or modify its commitments based on a less prescriptive set of guidelines and procedures in exchange for more accountability to Members and stronger CTS surveillance.  No express or explicit emergency safeguard mechanism, which might or might not entail a provision allowing for an earlier recourse to Article XXI (i.e “making Article X:2 permanent”). 4 B.
