Introduction
Jan 2003
Chapter
Dumping is, in general, a situation of international price discrimination, where the price of a product when sold to the importing country is less than the price of the same product when sold in the market of the exporting country. It is generally accepted in the multilateral trading system that if dumping takes place, it might result in unfair trade as the domestic industry of the importing country might suffer harm as a result of the dumping. If this is the case, th Read More
Resumen
Jul 2009
Chapter
el Informe sobre el Comercio Mundial 2009 se centra principalmente en ciertas medidas de contingencia a que pueden recurrir los Miembros de la OMC en el ámbito de la importación y exportación de mercancías. El marco jurídico de estas medidas está mucho menos desarrollado en el caso del comercio de servicios, aunque este asunto también se analiza.
Quelques objectifs déclarés des subventions publiques
Jun 2006
Chapter
Dans cette section, il sera question des principaux objectifs que les pouvoirs publics prétendent poursuivre au moyen des subventions, tels que le développement industriel, l’innovation, le soutien de “champions“ nationaux, la protection de l’environnement et la redistribution. Sous la rubrique générale de la “redistribution“, nous examinerons trois objectifs plus spécifiques: l’utilisation de subventions à des fins de politique régionale, l’aide à l’ajuste Read More
Introduction

Chapter
Although the AD Agreement contains some guidance on the methodologies to be applied in calculating the margin of dumping, it does not provide comprehensive and detailed provisions to deal with all the issues involved. In some instances, the AD Agreement provides for different options and leaves it to investigating authorities to decide which methodology to apply. In some of those instances where the AD Agreement does not provide clear gui Read More

Chapter
In the last few months trade has contracted more than at any time since the 1930s, reflecting the dramatic global economic downturn provoked in the first instance by the collapse of major financial institutions. Trade growth will be strongly negative this year and we are unlikely to see sustained economic growth until 2010. This adversity is severely testing the policy ingenuity of governments across the globe, and in today’s interdependent world, their willin Read More
Les subventions et l’OMC
Jun 2006
Chapter
Précédemment dans le rapport, nous avons examiné les arguments économiques qui plaident pour ou contre différents types de subventions. L’analyse économique nous montre qu’il est parfois possible de remédier efficacement à divers types de défaillances du marché en recourant à des subventions. Elle nous montre également que les subventions peuvent fausser les courants d’échanges si elles donnent un avantage concurrentiel artificiel à des e Read More

The Anti-Dumping Investigation

Once the decision to initiate an investigation has been taken and the required public notice has been given, the formal investigation process starts.
Defining subsidies

World Trade Report 2006
Jun 2006
Chapter
At the origins of the GATT , little attention was given to the trade impact of subsidies. However, contracting parties soon appreciated the need to deal with subsidies in order to secure the value of their agreed tariff concessions. A country can undermine its market access commitments by providing subsidies to import-competing industries. In addition, subsidies given to competing exporters in third countries can divert trade away from a country that had r Read More
A Handbook on Anti-Dumping Investigations

Chapter
The subject of anti-dumping procedures has received growing attention in international trade policy and has become a source of tension between countries. This handbook covers the major areas arising in anti-dumping investigations as embodied in the relevant WTO provisions, providing an exposition of well-sourced information, explanations, and guidance for grasping the intricacies of anti-dumping proceedings.

This Section provides an overview of the use of subsidies both at the global level and at different levels of geographical and sectoral disaggregation.

Form and Content of Questionnaires
Jan 2003
Chapter
The timetable for completing an entire anti-dumping investigation is short. If the investigation does not proceed in a rapid and orderly manner, it can become very difficult for investigating authorities to meet necessary internal deadlines to ensure that the ultimate deadlines are met. Thus, the investigating authorities should rapidly complete their review of the application and other sources of available information, and immediately begin work on draf Read More

The Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) came to an end on 1 January 2005. Much interest, not to mention concern, was expressed about the likely impact on production and trade of the removal of quota restrictions. It was apparent to most observers that there would be winners and losers from the additional liberalization. It is too early to say how the market will look beyond the relatively short period upon which we can base our observations, Read More
