Regarding the Notification of SLOVENIA1
The following communication, dated 5 May 1999, has been received from the Permanent
Delegation of the European Commission.
_______________
According to the information provided in  G/SG/N/6/SVN/1, G/SG/N/7/SVN/1 & Suppl.1,
Slovenia initiated a safeguard investigation into imports of swine meat, imposed provisional safeguard
measures, in the form of tariff increases, on such imports and finally terminated the provisionalmeasure and the procedure without a positive serious injury finding.
In view that the provisional measures were not subsequently confirmed by the finding of
serious injury, has Slovenia already reimbursed the amounts collected on the basis of such measures?
