Only prohibited or actionable subsidies violate the ASCM [Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures]. An actionable subsidy is a subsidy that is "specific"(i. e., essentially a subsidy that is targeted to a particular company or industry or group of companies or industries) and causes adverse effects(e. g., lost sales, lower prices) to foreign competitors of the subsidy recipient. 2, record 1, English, - actionable%20subsidy

La deuxième catégorie de subventions visées par l'accord […] est celle des subventions donnant lieu à une action. Contrairement aux subventions prohibées, les subventions donnant lieu à une action ne sont pas prohibées d'office. Il s'agit de subventions qui, en raison des effets défavorables qu'elles peuvent entraîner, sont susceptibles d'être contestées par les États membres de l'[Organisation mondiale du commerce]. 2, record 1, French, - subvention%20donnant%20lieu%20%C3%A0%20une%20action

After launch, and as the ASCM [anti-ship cruise missile] nears the target, distraction cartridges are fired at ranges up to 4. 5 km to disturb the range and accuracy of the missile's guidance system. However, should the missile have already locked on to the ship in its final attack phase, seduction chaff is deployed to provide point defense and a means sometimes in coordination with other on-board EW [electronic warfare] equipment, to "pull" the seaker away from the ship to the chaff cloud. 2, record 2, English, - seduction%20chaff
