NOTIFICATION DES LOIS ET RÉGLEMENTATIONS AU TITRE
DE L'ARTICLE 18.5 ET DE L'ARTICLE 32.6 DES ACCORDS
Questions posées par les COMMUNAUTÉS EUROPÉENNES
au sujet de la notification de l'ARMÉNIE1
La Délégation permanente de la Commission européenne a fait parvenir au Secrétariat la
communication ci-après, datée du 27 août 2003.
_______________
1. L'Arménie peut-elle confirmer que l'article 8  1) b) de la Loi antidumping permet l'utilisation
d'un prix comparable du produit similaire lorsque celui-ci est exporté à destination d'un pays tiers
uniquement à condition que ce prix soit représentatif, conformément à l'article 2.2 de l'Accord
antidumping?
2. Découle-t-il de l'article 30 de la Loi antidumping que des importations faisant l'objet d'un
dumping en provenance d'un pays peuvent être cumulées avec des importations subventionnées en
provenance d'un autre pays dans le cadre de la même enquête?
3. Veuillez préciser les circonstances dans lesquelles l'Arménie jugerait approprié de choisir une
période plus courte que trois ans pour l'enquête sur l'existence d'un dommage (article 40 de la Loi
antidumping).
4. L'article 41  3) de la Loi antidumping dispose que l'organisme compétent examinera les
renseignements communiqués par les parties intéressées à moins que cet examen ne complique
indûment sa tâche ou ne nuise au bon déroulement de l'enquête.  Veuillez préciser les circonstances
dans lesquelles l'Arménie considérerait que l'examen des renseignements "complique indûment [la]
tâche" de l'organisme compétent?
5. Suivant l'article 41  10) de la Loi antidumping, les copies des documents demandés aux
parties intéressées doivent être certifiées par un notaire du pays exportateur.  L'Arménie estime-t-elle
qu'une telle condition est nécessaire et proportionnée aux fins de la conduite des enquêtes
antidumping conformément à l'Accord antidumping?
6. L'Arménie pourrait-elle indiquer si elle applique  la règle dite "du droit moindre"?  Si tel n'est
pas le cas, veuillez expliquer en quoi la durée maximale d'application des mesures provisoires établie
à l'article 51  7) de la Loi antidumping est compatible avec l'article 7.4 de l'Accord antidumping.

7. L'article 72  6) dispose que l'organisme compétent ne tiendra pas compte des renseignements
si un traitement confidentiel n'est pas justifié et si la personne qui les a communiqués ne souhaite pas
les rendre publics.  L'organisme compétent utiliserait-il néanmoins ces renseignements s'il peut être
démontré de sources appropriées que les renseignements sont corrects, conformément à l'article 6.5.2de l'Accord antidumping?
