REPORT (2003) OF THE COMMITTEE ON
ANTI-DUMPING PRACTICES
I. ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE
1. The Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade 1994 (hereinafter "the Agreement") entered into force on 1 January 1995.  All Members of the
WTO are ipso facto  members of the Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices established under the
Agreement.
2. Observer governments in the General Council of the WTO have Observer status in the
Committee. The International Monetary Fund, World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer
status in the Committee.  Pursuant to a deci sion of the Committee in October 1998, the OECD is
invited to attend meetings on an  ad hoc  basis, and has full access to documents relevant to the
Committee's work, subject to objection by a Member in  particular cases.  Also pursuant to a decision
of the Committee in October 1998, the ACP Group is invited to attend meetings on an ad hoc basis
pending the outcome of horizontal consultations with respect to the ACP Group's requests for
Observership in various WTO bodies. Requests for Observer status from the Common Market for
Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting are thesubject of on-going consultations among Members.
3. The focus of this report is on the period since the Committee's last annual report (G/L/581 &
Corr.1), that is, 26 October 2002 – 24 October 2003 (her einafter "the review period").  During the
review period, the Committee held three meetings, a special meeting on 27 November &
11 December 2002 (G/ADP/M/23) and two regular meetings on 1-2 May 2003 and 23-
24 October 2003 (G/ADP/M/24 and G/ADP/M/25, respectively).
4. As of the beginning of the review period, Mr. Cristian Espinosa Cañizares (Ecuador) was
Chairman and Ms. Caroline Trautweiler (Switzerland) was Vice Chairperson.  At its regular meeting
in May 2003, the Committee elected Mr. David Evans (New Zealand) as Chairman and
Mr. Mateo Diego-Fernández (Mexico) as Vice Chairman.  Pursuant to the Committee's Rules of
Procedure, they took office at the end of that meeting.
II. NOTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION OF ANTI-DUMPING LAWS AND/OR
REGULATIONS OF MEMBERS
5. Article 18.5 of the Agreement provides that "Each Member shall inform the Committee of
any changes in its laws and regulations relevant to  this Agreement and in the administration of such
laws and regulations".  Pursuant to a decision of the Committee in February 1995, all Members
having new or existing legislation and/or regulations which apply in whole or in part to anti-dumpingduty investigations or reviews covered by the Agreement are requested to notify the full and
integrated text of such legislation and/or regulations to the Committee.  Changes in a Member's
legislation and/or regulations are to be notified to the Committee as well.  Pursuant to that same
decision of the Committee, if a Member has no such legislation or regulations, the Member is to
inform the Committee of this fact.  The Committee also decided that Observer governments shouldcomply with these notification obligations.G/L/653
Page 2
6. As of 24 October 2003, 104 Members had notified the Committee regarding their domestic
anti-dumping legislation.1  Of these 104 Members, 29 had notified the Committee that they had no
anti-dumping legislation.  Members' communications in this regard can be found in document series
G/ADP/N/1/... .  26 Members had not, as yet, made any notification of anti-dumping legislation and/or
regulations.  Annex A sets out the status of notifications concerning legislation under Article 18.5 ofthe Agreement, and sets out the reference symbol of the document(s) containing each Member's
current notification in this regard.
7. During the review period, the Committee reviewed new notifications regarding anti-dumping
laws and/or regulations submitted by the foll owing Members: Armenia, China, Costa Rica,
Dominican Republic, Estonia, European Communities, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, New Zealand,
Nicaragua, Pakistan, Peru and Zimbabwe.  Written questions and answers regarding these
notifications can be found in documents of the G/ ADP/Q1/... series.  Statements of Members in this
context are reflected in the minutes of the meetings.
8. In addition to review of new notifications, during the review period the Committee undertook,
at its meeting in October 2003, further review of the notification of legislation of China already
considered at a previous meeting.  Those questions and answers may also be found in documents of
the G/ADP/Q1/... series.
III. SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS ON ANTI-DUMPING ACTIONS TAKEN BY MEMBERS
9. Semi-annual reports for the period 1 July-31 December 2002 .  As of 24 October 2003,
semi-annual reports of actions taken during this period had been submitted by 32 Members.
35 Members had notified the Committee that they had not taken any anti-dumping actions during this
period.  The remaining Members required to do so had not submitted a notification in this regard.  Thesemi-annual reports were circulated in document series G/ADP/N/98/... .  At the Committee's regular
meeting in May 2003, the Chairperson reported that it  appeared that most Members taking actions had
submitted semi-annual reports in a timely fashion.  Members who had not submitted reports,
including Nil returns were strongly urged to submit these reports.  The Chairperson reminded
Members that the Secretariat was available to assist with the reporting format, and urged Members tobring problems with each others' reports to the Committee.  The Chairperson also urged Members to
follow the guidelines for reports adopted by the Committee and set out in document G/ADP/1.  The
status of semi-annual reports is set out in Annex B.
10. Semi-annual reports for the period 1 January-30 June 2003 .  As of 24 October 2003,
semi-annual reports of actions taken during this period had been submitted by 27 Members.
26 Members had notified the Committee that they had not taken any anti-dumping actions during this
period.  The remaining Members required to do so had not submitted a notification in this regard. Thesemi-annual reports were circulated in document series G/ADP/N/105/... .  At the Committee's regular
meeting in October, the Chairman reported that, al though there continued to be some problems in the
form of reports, Members had clearly made an effort to submit reports in the format established by the
Committee.  The Chairman reminded Members that guidelines for the format of semi-annual reports
are set out in document G/ADP/1, and that the Secretariat was available to assist Members withquestions about the form of reports. The Chairman strongly urged all Members to comply with the
requirement to submit semi-annual reports in a timely fashion in the future.  The status of semi-annual
reports is set out in Annex B.
11. A Table summarizing anti-dumping actions taken by Members and reported in their semi-
annual reports for the period 1 July 2002 -30 June 2003 is reproduced in Annex C to this report.

IV. REPORTS ON ALL PRELIMINARY OR FINAL ANTI-DUMPING ACTIONS
12. Pursuant to Article 16.4 of the Agreement, Members are to report without delay to the
Committee all preliminary and final anti-dumping actions taken.  Reports of preliminary and final
anti-dumping actions during the period under consideration were received from Argentina, Australia,
Canada, China, Egypt, the European Communities, India, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand,Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Chinese Taipei, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, the
United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela, as indicated in documents G/ADP/N/96, G/ADP/N/97,
G/ADP/N/99, G/ADP/N/ 101, G/ADP/N/102, G/ADP/N/103, G/ADP/N/ 104, G/ADP/N/106,
G/ADP/N/107, G/ ADP/N/108 and G/ADP/N/109.
13. The Committee reviewed the notifications of preliminary and final actions at its regular
meetings in May and October 2003.  At the Committee's meeting in May 2003, the Chairperson noted
that there continued to be a lack of full compliance in this area and highlighted the importance of thisnotification in the Committee's role in monitoring and discussing actions taken by Members.   At the
Committee's meeting in October 2003, the Chairman noted that there still continued to be a lack of
full compliance in this area, as some Members who submitted semi-annual reports indicating
preliminary and/or final measures had not submitted reports of preliminary or final actions taken, as
reflected in Annex D of this report.   The Chairman pointed out that if the Committee was to carry outits role in monitoring and discussing actions taken by Members, it was extremely important that
Members notify their preliminary and final actions, as required by the Agreement, and he strongly
urged Members to do so.
V. EFFECT OF MEMBERSHIP ENLARGEMENT ON TRADE REMEDIES
CURRENTLY IN FORCE IN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
14. During the October 2003 meeting, the Committee considered this matter, which had been
placed on the agenda at the request of the United States.  The European Communities responded
orally at the meeting to a number of questions set out in a paper submitted by the United States,
document G/ADP/W/435 and to follow up questions posed at the meeting.  The statements of
Members are reflected in the minutes of the meeting.
VI. TRANSITIONAL REVIEW OF CHINA
15. During the October 2003 meeting, the Committee undertook the review, as appropriate to its
mandate, of the implementation by China of the WTO Agreement and of the related provisions of its
Protocol of Accession, as provided for in Paragra ph 18 of the Protocol of Accession of the Peoples'
Republic of China to the WTO. In addition to a general statement, China responded orally at the
meeting to a number of specific questions that had been previously submitted in writing, and to
follow-up questions posed at the meeting.  The statements of Members are reflected in the minutes ofthat meeting.  The Committee agreed that its report to the Council for Trade in  Goods would be in the
form of a brief factual report, with references to the documents concerned, and attaching the portion
of the minutes of the meeting which relate to the transitional review, prepared by the Chairman on his
own responsibility.
VII. IMPLEMENTATION-RELATED MATTERS
16. The Working Group on Implementation was directed to (1) examine modalities for the
application of Article 15 of the Agreement and draw up recommendations on how to operationalize it,
and (2) to draw up recommendations concerning the tim e-frame to be used in determining a negligible
volume of imports under Article 5.8 of the Agreement (WT/MIN(01)/17, paras. 7.2-7.3).  TheG/L/653
Page 4
Committee was directed to draw up guidelines fo r the improvement of the annual reviews under
Article 18.6 of the Agreement (WT/MIN(01)/17, para. 7.4). During the period under review both the
Committee and the Working Group continued the process of informal consultations to discuss these
issues that had begun in March 2001.
17. At its special meeting in November 2002, the Committee adopted a recommendation
regarding annual reviews provided for in Article 18.6 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement, which had
been extensively discussed by Members in informal consultations and agreed to in the informal
sessions.   The recommendation was subsequently circulated as document G/ADP/9.
18. At that same meeting, the Committee adopted as a Committee decision the recommendation
concerning the time-period to be considered in making a determination of negligible import volumes
for purposes of Article 5.8 of the Agreement that had been extensively discussed in, and adopted by,
the Working Group on Implementation.  The recommendation was subsequently circulated asdocument G/ADP/10.
19. The special meeting of the Committee resumed on 11 December 2002.  The Chairman
informed Members that, despite extensive discussions in informal sessions, there had been no
agreement on the text of a recommendation on operationalizing Article 15, and that given the lack of
agreement, he intended to report to the General Council, as Chairman, on his own responsibility and
without prejudice to the position of any Member, summarizing the proposals, questions and answers,
and discussions, on this topic, informing the General Council that no consensus had been reached on a
recommendation.  The Chairman's report, made at the meeting of the General Council on
12 December 2002, was subsequently circulated as document G/ADP/11..
VIII.  WORKING GROUP ON IMPLEMENTATION:
20. The Working Group on Implementation held two regular working meetings during the period
under review, in April and October 2003, and a special meeting on 27 November and 11 December
2002.
21. At its special meeting in November 2002, the Group adopted a recommendation concerning
the time-period to be considered in making a determination of negligible import volumes for purposesof Article 5.8 of the Agreement.  The recommendation was subsequently adopted as a Committee
decision and circulated as document G/ADP/10.  The Group also continued, in informal sessions, its
discussions of a recommendation on operationalizing Article 15, but was unable to come to
agreement.  Subsequently, as noted above, the Chairman made a report to the General Council, on his
own responsibility and without prejudice to the position of any Member, summarizing the proposals,
questions and answers, and discussions, on this topic, informing the General Council that no
consensus had been reached on a recommendation.  The Chairman's report, made at the meeting of theGeneral Council on 12 December 2002, was subsequently circulated as document G/ADP/11.
22. At its meeting in April 2003, the Gr oup considered a revised version draft recommendation on
conditions of competition that may be relevant to a decision whether a cumulative assessment of the
effects of imports is appropriate.  Although the Group was unable to come to agreement on the text of
the draft recommendation, a number of revisions were proposed, and the Group agreed to consider thedraft further at its next meeting.  The Group also discussed new topics which had been proposed by
Members, and agreed on four new topics, which it recommended the Committee refer to the GroupG/L/653
Page 5
for discussion.  The Committee subsequently decided to set aside the topics under discussion until that
point, and refer the four new topics to the Group.2
23. At its meeting in October 2003,  the Group had a useful discussion on the latest revision of
the draft recommendation concerning conditions of competition that may be relevant to a decision
whether a cumulative assessment of the effects of imports is appropriate, but no consensus was reached.The Secretariat was asked to prepare a new revision of the draft recommendation.  The Group also
began the discussions on the four new topics that were referred to it by the Committee at its last
meeting.
3  Although only four Members submitted papers on the new topics, the discussion was
nonetheless interesting and useful in enabling Members to better understand the issues involved and
the practices of various Members.  The Chairman strongly encouraged those Members who had not
submitted any papers on these topics, to do so, particularly to provide Members with information
about national practices regarding the matters under discussion.
IX. INFORMAL GROUP ON ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION
24. The Informal Group on Anti-Circumvention met twice during the period under review, in
May and October 2003.  The Informal Group continued its discussions on the three items of the
agreed framework, i.e., "What constitutes circumvention?", and "What is being done by Members
confronted with what they consider to be circumvention?", and "To what extent can circumvention bedealt with under the relevant  WTO rules?   To what extent can it not?  What other options may be
deemed necessary?".
25. At the Group's meeting in May 2003, the Group considered two new papers on the topics of
discussion under the agreed-upon framework.
4  The Chair urged Members to submit papers on the
issue of anti-circumvention which can serve as the basis for further meaningful discussions.
26. At its meeting in October 2003, the Group considered a new paper submitted by a Member,5
and another delegation recalled for Members' consideration the ideas presented in a paper that had
been discussed at the last meeting.  The Chairman urged Members to make the best use of the
informal setting of discussions in the Group by submitting papers and participating actively in the
discussions.
