Overview: The Uruguay Round Agreement on Safeguards represents an effort to improve the GATT safeguards (SG) process and thereby encourage countries to choose this option over antidumping and "Gray-area" measures such as bilaterally negotiated export restraints. This paper offers a first detailed analysis of the way safeguards initiated under the agreement have been implemented in practice. This paper examine the actual trade effects of 14 safeguard actions, covering 85 different 6- digit Harmonized System product categories, implemented by WTO signatories between 1995 and 2000. The main focus is the extent to which safeguard actions conform to the GATT/WTO most favored-nation (MFN) principle.
