Safeguard measures
A WTO member may take a safeguard action (i.e., restrict imports of a product temporarily) to protect a specific domestic industry from an increase in imports of any product which is causing, or which is threatening to cause, serious injury to the industry.
Safeguard measures were always available under the GATT (Article XIX). However, they were infrequently used, and some governments preferred to protect their industries through grey area measures (voluntary export restraint arrangements on products such as cars, steel and semiconductors).
The WTO Safeguards Agreement broke new ground in prohibiting grey area measures and setting time limits (sunset clause) on all safeguard actions.

This measure was notified
to the WTO Committee on Safeguards as a safeguard measure. Indonesia had no binding tariff with respect to galvalume.1 The main issue discussed by both the Panel and the Appellate Body
was whether the specific duty imposed by Indonesia constituted a safeguard measure within the meaning of Article 1 of the Agreement on Safeguards given that Indonesia had no bound tariff on
that product. (...) Hence, we consider that the Panel conflated the constituent features of a safeguard measure with the conditions for the conformity of a safeguard measure with
the Agreement on Safeguards."5

Safeguards implementation

Safeguards implementation is based on an annual cycle. It comprises four fundamental processes that include the:
collection and evaluation of all safeguards-relevant information;
development of a safeguards approach for a State;
planning, conduct and evaluation of safeguards activities; and
drawing of safeguards conclusions.
