Summary
Introduction
This chapter examines the trade remedies available under the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). It proceeds as follows. The first part will provide a brief explanation of what COMESA is and what its main objectives are. Section B will examine COMESA's internal mechanisms, specifically those that function to oversee and review the use of trade remedies. Section C will describe the three trade remedies available to COMESA members, namely, safeguards, anti-dumping measures and subsidies, as well as detailing the pre-conditions for use of each, as well as explore some of the procedural rules which govern those three remedy areas. Section C4 will examine how the implementation of COMESA safeguard measures on Kenya's sugar and wheat industries has impacted on them.
