根据该条的规定，成员方不仅不得维持原有的限制措施，也不得采取新的限制措施。对此，TMB在“土耳其进出口限制案”中认为：In concluding its examination of the measure mutually agreed between Turkey and the United States, the TMB recalled that Article 2.4 of the ATC states that “\[n\]o new restrictions in terms of products or Members shall be introduced except under the provisions of this Agreement or relevant GATT 1994 provisions”. After having considered the new measure against the different provisions of the ATC on the basis of the information available to it \[…\], the TMB concluded that the measure agreed upon by Turkey and the United States, affecting imports by the United States of category 352/652 products, had not been demonstrated to be in conformity with the provisions of the ATC。[2]土耳其的进口数量限制措施因而被认定为属于“新采取的限制措施”。
