Bilateral safeguard measures require investigation of import injury, objective industry factors, and recommendations on duration and review. The Director General must investigate whether increased imports of an originating good from Japan have caused, or threaten to cause, serious injury to the domestic industry, and must evaluate objective and quantifiable factors such as import growth, market share, sales, production, productivity, capacity utilisation, profits, losses and employment. The Director General must submit findings to the Central Government, recommend an adequate bilateral safeguard measure and its duration, provide for progressive liberalisation where the measure exceeds one year, and review the need for continuation of the measure.
