Bilateral safeguard findings require serious injury, causal link, and recommended measures with progressive liberalisation when needed. The Director General must issue final findings within eight months, or within an extended period up to one year, determining whether increased imports of the originating good have caused or threatened serious injury and whether a causal link exists with tariff reduction or elimination under the Trade Agreement. The Director General must also recommend an adequate bilateral safeguard measure, its duration, and, where the duration exceeds one year, progressive liberalisation at regular intervals. Affirmative findings must state the facts, law, and reasons, and be published by public notice and circulated to the relevant governments.
