The close monitoring of any sensitive products should facilitate timely decisions concerning the possible initiation of investigations and the subsequent imposition of safeguard measures. Therefore, the Commission should constantly and proactively monitor imports of any sensitive products from the date of entry into force of the EMPA or the ITA. Monitoring should be extended to other products or sectors if the relevant Union industry makes a duly justified request to the Commission. The Commission should present a monitoring report at least every six months, containing its assessment of the impact of imports of sensitive products benefitting from preferential market access under the Agreements, including data on import volumes and prices for all sensitive products.
