Global Safeguards


Trade Remedies under the New Zealand-Thailand Closer Economic Partnership Agreement

[ Last Updated 25 January 2006 ]


Global safeguards remedy serious injury caused or threatened to New Zealand industries by sudden and unforeseen increases in imports. Global safeguard investigations and measures must continue to be consistent with the WTO Safeguards Agreement [link to WTO website] and may be taken by New Zealand against imports from all countries, except Australia [link to Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website] and Singapore [link to MFAT website]. The CEP provides that a global safeguard measure may exclude imports originating from Thailand "if such imports are not a cause of serious injury or threat thereof".
