Safeguard investigations require public notice, information sharing, and may draw adverse inferences for non-cooperation while permitting stakeholders' submissions. Rule 5 requires the Director General, upon initiating an investigation under the India-Malaysia CECA bilateral safeguard rules, to publish a notice detailing the good's description and tariff classification, initiation date and period, factual summary and reasons, address for representations, and submission time-limits; circulate the notice and application to the Central Government, trade associations, known exporters, the Government of Malaysia and other interested parties; request written information from exporters, producers and Malaysia within thirty days (with possible extension); permit industrial user and consumer representations; accept oral submissions only if later filed in writing; share evidence among parties; draw findings from facts available where parties impede the investigation; and terminate the investigation if imports from Malaysia are an insubstantial share of total imports.
