Safeguard measure review requires periodic reassessment of necessity, industry adjustment, and possible withdrawal or modification.

Rule 15 requires the Director-General to periodically review the continued application of a safeguard measure and, on the basis of information received, assess whether it remains necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and whether the industry is adjusting positively. If continuation is justified, a recommendation may be made for continued imposition of duty; if not, withdrawal may be recommended. Where the measure lasts more than one year, a mid-term review is required, and the review must ordinarily be concluded within eight months.
