Transparency and Legal Certainty Clause Samples

The Transparency and Legal Certainty clause establishes clear guidelines to ensure that all parties understand their rights, obligations, and the legal framework governing their agreement. In practice, this clause may require that all terms are written in plain language, that relevant laws are referenced, and that any changes to the agreement are communicated transparently. Its core function is to prevent misunderstandings and disputes by making the legal context and expectations explicit, thereby fostering trust and reducing the risk of legal ambiguity.
Transparency and Legal Certainty. 1. The Parties agree that trade remedies shall be used in full compliance with WTO requirements and shall be based on a fair and transparent system. 2. Recognising the benefits of legal certainty and predictability for the economic operators, the Parties shall ensure that, where applicable, their respective domestic legislation in the field of anti-dumping and countervailing measures is and will remain harmonised and fully compatible with WTO legislation. 3. Notwithstanding Article 6.9 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article 12.8 of the SCM Agreement, it is desirable that the Parties ensure, immediately after any imposition of provisional measures, complete and meaningful disclosure of all essential facts and considerations which form the basis for the decision to apply measures, without prejudice to Article 6.5 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article 12.4 of the SCM Agreement. Disclosures shall be made in writing and shall be provided to interested parties with sufficient time to defend their interests. 4. Upon request of the interested parties, the Parties shall grant them the possibility to be heard in order to express their views during anti-dumping or countervailing measures investigations. This shall not unnecessarily delay the conduct of the investigations.
