Resumen

This second part of the commentary on the panel decision in United States - Safeguard on Large Residential Washing Machines provides a summary and views on the other issues addressed by the panel (and not covered in the first part): the assessment of serious injury, the assessment of causation, the analysis of the necessity of the extent and duration of the safeguard measure, the assessment of notification-related claims and the assessment of consultations-related claims. The panel addressed these issues by relying on the standard of review envisaged for the assessment of safeguard-related claims: the review of the existence of reasoned and adequate explanations. The panel also favoured consistency between the categories defined for the different instances of investigation.
