Article 121: Discipline

  1.         Each Member State shall ensure that any subsidy in favour of agricultural producers conforms with the provisions of Article 119 and Article 120.
  1.         Any subsidy in favour of agricultural producers that cannot be shown to satisfy the provisions in Article 119 and Article 120, shall be subject to the provisions of Article 106 to Article 110 inclusive.
  1.         A subsidies programme undertaken in conformity with the provisions of this Part shall be subject to action based on Article 106 to 110 inclusive where a determination of injury or threat thereof is made in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
  1.         In the determination of a threat of injury, the investigating authorities shall consider, inter alia, such factors as:

(i) the nature of the subsidy or subsidies in question and the trade effects likely to arise therefrom;

(ii) a significant rate of increase of subsidised imports into the domestic market indicating the likelihood of substantially increased importations;

(iii) sufficient freely disposable or an imminent, substantial increase in capacity of the exporter indicating the likelihood of substantially increased subsidised exports to the importing country’s market, taking into account the availability of other export markets to absorb any additional exports;

(iv) whether imports are entering at prices that will have a significant depressing or suppressing effect on domestic prices, and are likely to increase demand for further imports;

(v)        inventories of the product being investigated.
