            My Government has instructed me to request consultations under Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU).

 

            In a communication dated 27 February 1995, the Government of Chile informed the Secretariat of the WTO that Chile had no legislation in force for the application of safeguards.  This communication was notified to Members by the Secretariat in document G/SG/N/1/CHL/1, dated 26 April 1995.
