NOTIFICATION OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS UNDER

ARTICLES 18.5 AND 32.6 OF THE AGREEMENTS

ARGENTINA

[Supplement]{.underline}

The following communication, dated 7 June 1999, has been received from
the Permanent Mission of Argentina.

**\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_**

HAVING REGARD TO File No. 061-000407/99 in the Registry of the Ministry
of the Economy and Public Works and Services, and

WHEREAS:

The Final Act Embodying the Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral
Trade Negotiations, the Ministerial Decisions and Declarations and
Understandings and the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade
Organization (WTO) were approved under Law No. 24,425;

The aforementioned Law has produced significant progress in regard to
protective mechanisms against imports under conditions of unfair
competition.

By means of Decree No. 1326 of 10 November 1998, the National Executive
Power laid down the rules and regulations for the effective application
of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures approved by Law No. 24,425, and appointed the
implementing authorities for those rules and regulations.

At present, applications for initiation of a dumping and/or subsidy
investigation are filed based on the questionnaires approved by
Resolution No. 349 of the former Secretariat for Industry and Trade of
12 November 1991.

It has been deemed necessary to refine the requirements for the
submission of applications for the start of an investigation concerning
the application of anti-dumping or countervailing duties.

In order to ensure that the information necessary to start an
investigation is available and thus avoid repeated requests by the
Implementing Authority, the applicant must furnish the fullest possible
supporting evidence in the application.

Based on Article 3 of Decree No. 1326/98, the Undersecretariat for
Foreign Trade, through the Directorate for Unfair Competition attached
to the National Directorate for the Management of Foreign Trade of that
Undersecretariat and the National Commission for Foreign Trade, a
decentralized agency of the Secretariat for Industry, Trade and Mining,
have proposed guidelines, requirements and formalities with which the
applicant must comply in applying for initiation of an investigation.

Consequent on the foregoing, it is indispensable to rescind Resolution
No. 349 dated 12 November 1991 of the former Secretariat for Industry
and Trade.

The Directorate for Legal Affairs in the Area of Industry, Trade and
Mining attached to the General Directorate for Legal Affairs in the
Ministry of the Economy and Public Works and Services has intervened as
appropriate.

This Resolution is enacted in exercise of the powers conferred under
Articles 1 and 3 of Decree No. 1326 of 10 November 1998.

Wherefore,

The Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Mining

RESOLVES:

Article 1 - To approve the questionnaires consisting of TWENTY-NINE (29)
pages which, as Annexes 1 to 6, are an integral part of this Resolution,
and which must be completed by the applicant when filing an application
for the initiation of a dumping and/or subsidy investigation.

Article 2 - To approve the instructions comprising SEVEN (7) pages
which, as Annex 7, form an integral part of this Resolution and which
set forth the requirements that must be met by the applicant in filling
out the annexes mentioned in Article 1.

Article 3 - To rescind Resolution No. 349 of the former Secretariat for
Industry and Trade of 12 November 1991 approving the questionnaires for
the submission of the application for initiation of a dumping and/or
subsidy investigation.

Article 4 - This Resolution shall be proclaimed, published, transmitted
to the National Directorate of Official Records and filed.

ANNEX 3: SPECIFIC INFORMAtIoN for dumping\
INVESTIGAtIONS

As appropriate, complete Table 1 (A/B), 2, 3 or 4, appended to this
Annex, with information on sales in the domestic market of the
country/countries of origin named in the application. This information
should cover the TWELVE (12) months prior to the filing of these forms.

Thus, information should be given on sales in the domestic market of the
country/countries of origin named in the application of identical or
like products exported to the Argentine Republic in the ordinary course
of trade.

If no identical or like products are sold in the domestic market of the
country/countries of origin named in the application in the ordinary
course of trade or if the domestic market represents less than 5 per
cent of the volume exported to the Argentine Republic:

-   State the ordinary export price of the identical or like goods to
    third countries, or

-   Submit a constructed value for the product forming the subject of
    the application, taking into account production costs (fixed and
    variable), with adjustments for the selling, administrative and
    general costs, plus a reasonable profit margin, based on the values
    obtaining in the domestic market of the country/countries of origin
    to be investigated.

To show the normal value of the identical or like product, evidence must
be furnished in the form of original documents or, failing that, copies
certified or authorised by the embassy or consulate in the
country/countries of origin concerned.

Solely for illustration purposes, some possible types of evidence are
listed below:

-   Market study by a recognised international consultant

-   Producer/exporter price lists

-   Producer-exporter invoices[^1]

In the case of imports originating in a country whose trade is subject
to a full or almost full monopoly, or where domestic prices are set by
the State, or any other similar situation, the normal value shall be
determined by reference to any of the following criteria:

> \(a\) The value calculated for a market-economy third country;
>
> \(b\) the export price from such third country to other countries,
> including the Argentine Republic;
>
> \(c\) any other reasonable basis, including the price actually paid or
> payable in the Argentine Republic for the like product, duly adjusted
> if necessary to include a reasonable profit margin.

\(a\) Unit cost. Determine the cost in \$US per corresponding unit of
measurement. (E.g. \$US/kg, \$US/t, etc.)

\(b\) Input/output ratio. Quantity of input used, in terms of the
corresponding unit of measurement for each item making up the cost of
each unit of the product, or the percentage share of the total cost
incurred (the case of interest charges, etc.).

\(c\) Unit cost of each input. State the value of each separate input in
terms of the corresponding unit of measurement. (E.g.: \$US/kg, \$US/t,
\$US/man hour, etc.) or, in the case of administrative, or selling costs
or interest charges, the total spent under each head, making it possible
to allocate to each item a share in each unit produced in accordance
with column (b).

\(d\) Cost per input. This column should show the cost by input used to
produce one unit of the product. It results from multiplying columns (b)
and (c).

\(e\) Percentage share. This column must show the percentage share of
each input in the average unit cost.

    the total for all the companies applying and/or supporting the
    application.

b.  Sales quantities must be net of refunds.

c.  Sales values must exclude VAT and domestic taxes and be net of
    refunds and trade discounts.

d.  Report inventories in respect of products finished as of 31 December
    of each year.

e.  Production capacity means the firm\'s full operating capacity. If
    the company produces several products, consider the current product
    mix or that obtaining since the start of the reporting period
    (report any changes that may have occurred over the preceding three
    years).

f.  The number of employees must be the monthly average and, if
    possible, only staff assigned to the production of the domestic
    product (if the figures correspond to totality of the enterprise(s),
    please so indicate).

g.  Wages paid must not include S.A.C. or social security contributions
    and, if possible, should cover only staff assigned to the production
    of the domestic product (if the figures cover the totality of the
    enterprise(s), please so indicate).

h.  For production cost structures, furnish the basis for the allocation
    of shared costs and, if any of the items are royalties or other
    payments, indicate under which heads they are quantified. This
    information must be supplied for the same unit of
    measurement/model/size/article as for the prices (subparagraph (i))
    and for each of the companies applying and/or supporting the
    application.

i.  For price information, ascertain whether there is a single price for
    the unit of measurement of the domestic product or, if it must be
    supplied for the most representative model/size/article, indicate
    the basis for its representativeness. In Table 9, column one (1),
    supply the posted wholesale ex-factory list prices, excluding VAT
    and domestic taxes, per unit of measurement of the most
    representative domestic product/model/size/article; in column two
    (2), report trade discounts granted, and in column three (3) the net
    price actually invoiced for that product (difference between the
    preceding columns). These data must be supplied for each of the
    companies applying and/or supporting the application.
