(a)must be such period as the TRA is satisfied is necessary—

(i)to remove the serious injury, or to prevent further serious injury, caused by the importation of the goods in increased quantities to UK producers of the goods, and

(ii)to facilitate the adjustment of those UK producers to the importation of the goods in increased quantities,

(b)must not exceed 4 years (but see paragraph 21 regarding the possibility of extensions or other variations to that period following a review), and

(c)if the recommendation is accepted by the Secretary of State, must begin on the day after the date of publication of the public notice under section 13 giving effect to the recommendation.

(3)The recommendation must (in addition to the specified period) include—

(a)the TRA’s recommendation regarding—

(i)the amount of the quota,

(ii)how the quota should be allocated, and

(iii)the rates of import duty that should be applied to goods subject to the quota, and

(b)such other content as regulations may require.

(4)The TRA must consult the Secretary of State before making a recommendation regarding the allocation of the quota.

(5)The things recommended by the TRA by virtue of sub-paragraph (3)(a)

(a)must be such as the TRA is satisfied are necessary—

(i)to remove serious injury to UK producers of the goods, and

(ii)to facilitate the adjustment of those UK producers to the importation of the goods in increased quantities, and

(b)where the specified period referred to in paragraph 16(3)(b) exceeds 1 year, must be such that the amount of import duty applicable to goods subject to the quota becomes progressively smaller as the period progresses (whether by increases in the amount of the quota, decreases in the rates of import duty, or both).

(6)Regulations may make provision for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5)(a) about how the things which the TRA is satisfied are necessary for the purposes mentioned are to be determined.

(7)If a provisional safeguarding remedy has been applied to some or all of the goods as part of the same safeguarding investigation, sub-paragraph (8) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (2)(b) and (5)(b).

(8)The length of the specified period referred to in paragraph 16(3)(b), so far as relating to goods to which a provisional safeguarding remedy has been applied, is to be treated as extended by the length of the specified period for which the TRA recommended that a provisional safeguarding remedy should be applied to them.

(9)Where the application of sub-paragraph (8) results in the length of the specified period referred to in paragraph 16(3)(b), so far as relating to goods to which a provisional safeguarding remedy has been applied, exceeding 1 year, sub-paragraph (5)(b) is to be read as if references to goods were references to the goods to which the provisional safeguarding remedy has been applied.
