In making a determination of serious damage, or actual threat thereof, as referred to in paragraph 2, the Member shall examine the effect of those imports on the state of the particular industry, as reflected in changes in such relevant economic variables as output, productivity, utilization of capacity, inventories, market share, exports, wages, employment, domestic prices, profits and investment; none of which, either alone or combined with other factors, can necessarily give decisive guidance.
Pri ugotavljanju resne škode ali dejanske grožnje le-te iz drugega odstavka mora članica preveriti vpliv takega uvoza na stanje določene industrije, kar se kaže v ustreznih ekonomskih spremenljivkah, kot so obseg proizvodnje, storilnost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, zaloge, tržni delež, izvoz, plače, zaposlenost, domače cene, dobički in vlaganja. Nobeden od teh dejavnikov sam ali v povezavi z drugimi dejavniki ni nujno odločilen.
