Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument defines "compliance period" for countervailing investigations as the two most recent biennial periods ending before the investigation is initiated in which a WTO Member was required to give new, full subsidy notifications to the WTO. It matters to importers, exporters and customs investigators because it fixes the historical time window used to assess subsidy notification records when deciding countervailing measures.
