Summary
Chapter 10 describes the general obligation that Members introduced into the Agreement on Safeguards to terminate measures that were imposed under the rules of the GATT 1947. The provision proved to be effective as all the measures that were notified as pre-existing the WTO have been eliminated. Article 10 is a reflection of the old concern that gave rise to the negotiation of the Agreement on Safeguards: the need to eliminate grey-area measures or measures that escaped multilateral control.
