Chairmanhadexpressedsatisfactionwiththeprogressthathadbeenmadeduringthemeetings.Questions
puttoMembers ranged from those regarding general, policy matters toveryspecific andhighly technical
questions ofnational administration ofanti-dumping measures. Among theconcerns raised byMembers

enacted prior totheentry intoforce oftheAgreement. Inaddition, Members expressed concern regarding
thepotential foractions inconsistent with theAgreement ifsuch actions arebased onlegislation enacted
1TheECiscounted as16Members.G/L/123
Page 3
prior totheentry intoforce oftheAgreement. Another concern wasthecomplexity oftheprocedural
andsubstantive requirements oftheAgreement, andtheneed forsignificant training andeducation,
particularly fornewusers ofanti-dumping measures anddeveloping countries, toensure thatactions
were taken consistently with theAgreement.

uncertain. TheCommittee reviewed thenotifications ofaction fortheperiods 1July-31 December

Page 5
atitsfirstmeeting inFebruary 1995, inlight ofsuggestions from theChairman oftheGeneral Council.
TheCommittee decided thattheSecretariat should prepare adraft report inthesame format ashad
been used intheprevious year'sreport, incorporating from thatreport those aspects ofimplementation
thatwould help explain theprogress thattheCommittee hadmade. TheSecretariat wasalsodirected
todraft ashort section onanti-circumvention, reporting onwhat theCommittee haddone andonthe
informal consultations during theyear. Thedraft report would becirculated toMembers attheend
ofSeptember orinearly October, atwhich time theCommittee would have todecide whether itshould
meet informally inadvance oftheregular October meeting todiscuss anyadditional matters forinclusion
inthereport.
VI. Anti-Circumvention
20. Atitsmeeting on30October 1995, theCommittee hadauthorized theChairman toengage
ininformal consultations with aview toreporting back totheCommittee atitsmeeting inDecember
onhow theCommittee isgoing torespond totheMinisterial Decision, including terms ofreference
andprocedural issues. TheChairman held such informal consultations on21November 1995. A
substantial number ofMembers took part, andthediscussion focused onthematters regarding how
thediscussions should proceed.
21. Based ontheChairman 'sreport regarding theinformal consultations, presented totheCommittee
atitsspecial meeting inDecember 1995, theCommittee authorized himtocontinue toconsult informally
onthetasksetfortheCommittee bytheMinisterial Decision onAnti-Circumvention. TheChairman
noted thatMembers might, inthefirstinformal consultations, wish todiscuss thecourse theinformal
consultationsshouldtakeandthemajortopicsthatshouldbeconsidered.Amongtheexamplesmentioned
ininformal consultations were thescope oftheissue ofanti-circumvention andwhether circumvention
canbedealt with through existing mechanisms under theAgreement. TheChairman further stated
thattheinformal consultations would be,ofcourse, open toanyinterested Member, andwithout prejudice
toanyMember 'srights andobligations under theAgreement, ortoanyMember 'sraising anti-
circumvention during meetings oftheCommittee, andundertook toinform theCommittee periodically
ondevelopments inthese informal consultations. TheChairman alsosuggested that, ifanyMember
hadspecific issues itbelieved should bediscussed during thefirstinformal consultations, they might
submit their suggestions totheChairman, whowould undertake tocommunicate these ideas tointerested
Members inadvance ofthefirstinformal consultations, since theymight helpfocus initial discussions.
22. Severaldelegationssubmittedsuggestionsconcerningtheframeworkfortheinformalconsultations,
andtopics tobediscussed. Further informal consultations were held7March 1996. Again, thediscussion
focused principally onthequestion oftheframework forcontinued informal consultations, including
aproposal made bytheChairman, butnoagreement wasreached. Additional papers onaproposed
framework forcontinued discussions were presented during another round ofinformal consultations
on30April 1996. Several Members made proposals, asdidtheChairman, butnoconsensus wasachieved
ontheframework forcontinued discussions. TheChairman continued toconsult with delegations in
anattempt tofindabasis foragreement onaframework forcontinued discussions, andinvited interested
Members tofurther informal consultations following theCommittee 'sregular meeting inOctober.
VII. Concluding observations
23. TheCommittee considered that, ingeneral, good progress hadbeen made inthefirsttwoyears
inimplementing theAgreement. However, theCommittee considered thatmuch remained tobedone,
andthatadditional efforts from Members were required inorder toachieve fullimplementation ofthe
Agreement.G/L/123
Page 6
24. TheCommittee observed thatoneofitsmajor tasks during thefirsttwoyears oftheAgreement
hadbeen toreview thedomestic anti-dumping legislations notified byMembers. Thereview exercise
indicated thatimplementation inthisregard waslessthan complete. NotallMembers thatarecurrent
orpotential users ofanti-dumping measures hadcompleted thedomestic legislative processes to
incorporate therelevant requirements oftheAgreement. Thus, further efforts were required inorder
toensure substantive implementation oftheAgreement. Inaddition, during themeetings toreview
notifications oflegislation, avariety ofissues regarding theWTO-consistency ofnotified legislations
were raised. Themeetings provided Members with anopportunity toseekclarification ofissues arising
outofother Members 'legislation. Generally, Members were able toclarify theissues raised. Both
Members notifying legislation andthose submitting questions generally found theprocess helpful and
wished tocontinue thiswork intheCommittee. TheCommittee thought itextremely important that
Members carefully consider allquestions posed, comments made andreplies provided inthecontext
ofthese review sessions.
25. Inaddition,theCommitteeconsideredthatfurthereffortswererequiredinorderthatallMembers
submitted complete notifications ofanti-dumping actions taken andsemi-annual reports onatimely
basis. Full transparency wasessential toensure surveillance andmonitoring oftheimplementation
oftheAgreement. While theachievement ofthisgoal depended primarily ontheefforts ofindividual
Members, theCommittee could examine steps thatmight betaken toimprove compliance by,inter
alia,informing concerned governments ofcompliance problems, andassisting developing country
Members tomeet their notification obligations.
26. TheCommittee noted thattheprocedural andsubstantive requirements ofthenewAgreement
weredetailed,andthatitsimplementationrequiredsubstantialexpertiseandthecommitmentofsubstantial
resources byMembers. TheAdHoc Group onImplementation hadbeen created todiscuss, andif
possible make recommendations totheCommittee on,issues concerning theimplementation ofthe
Agreement. TheCommittee considered thatmaximum efforts should bemade toassist Members, and
inparticular developing country Members, toachieve fullimplementation oftheAgreement.
27. TheCommittee observed thatdiscussions with respect totheMinisterial Decision onAnti-
Circumvention would continue.G/L/123
