Article 36 explained in plain English
This article identifies who issues the Implementing Regulations of the Law and the period for doing so:
- The body: the Council, which under Article 1 is the Board of Directors of the General Authority for Foreign Trade.
- The period: within 90 days.
- Start of the period: from the date the Law is published in the Official Gazette.
The Regulations matter a great deal in this Law, because it refers to them on many points, such as determining the normal value and export price in some cases, the period in which an interested party identifies itself, and other matters stated to be "in accordance with the provisions of the Law and the Regulations." Under Article 1, the Regulations are the Implementing Regulations of the Law.
This article follows Article 35, which provides that the Organization's agreements on trade remedies apply where the Law and the Regulations contain no provision. It is followed by Article 37, which provides that the Law takes effect after 90 days from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette. The period for issuing the Regulations and the period before the Law takes effect are equal and start from the same publication date.
