préjudice grave : Le terme «dommage grave» est considéré comme correct, car il est employé dans l'Accord sur les sauvegardes de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC), ainsi que dans la plupart des accords commerciaux au Canada. Le terme «préjudice grave», lui, ne désigne pas la présente notion dans les textes de l'OMC. Toutefois, «préjudice grave» figure parfois au lieu de «dommage grave» dans des accords commerciaux au Canada, notamment l'Accord de libre-échange Canada-Chili. 4, record 1, French, - dommage%20grave
