Global Safeguards Sample Clauses

The Global Safeguards clause establishes overarching protective measures that apply across all aspects of an agreement or operation. Typically, this clause sets minimum standards or requirements—such as compliance with international laws, data protection protocols, or safety regulations—that must be upheld regardless of local variations or specific circumstances. By doing so, it ensures a consistent baseline of protection and risk management, addressing potential gaps that might arise from differing regional rules or unforeseen situations.

Global Safeguards. 1. Each Party shall apply safeguard measures in accordance with its legislation, except as otherwise provided for in this Chapter. 2. A Party may apply a global safeguard measure to a product only if that Party has determined that such product is being imported into its territory in such increased quantities, absolute or relative to domestic production, and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause serious injury to the domestic industry that produces like or directly competitive products. 3. In determining injury or threat thereof, a “domestic industry” shall be understood to mean the producers as a whole of the like or directly competitive products operating within the territory of a Party, or those whose collective output of the like or directly competitive products constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of those products. 4. Global safeguard measures shall be applied to a product being imported irrespective of the exporting country.

In cases in which a quota is allocated among supplying countries, the Party applying the global safeguard measure may seek agreement with respect to the allocation of shares in the quota with the other Party having a substantial interest in supplying the product concerned. In cases in which this method is not reasonably practicable, the Party concerned shall allot to the other Party having a substantial interest in supplying the product shares based upon the proportions, supplied by that Party during a previous three years period, of the total quantity or value of imports of the product, due account being taken of any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting the trade in the product. In case I. R. Iran intends to apply a safeguard measure in the form of import quota and allocate it among supplying countries, such import quota shall be calculated and applied individually with respect to each EAEU Member State. 5.
