REPORT (1998) 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.  With respect to international intergov ernmental organizations, the International Monetary
Fund, World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer status in the Committee.  In light of issues
regarding reciprocity, particularly in connecti on with the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures, at its April meeting the Committee decided, on a preliminary basis, to grant  ad hoc  observer
status to the OECD under terms paralleling thos e agreed by the Group of Participants to the
Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits and Export Credit Guarantees for the WTO.
Specifically, the Committee decided to continue to invite the OECD to attend meetings on an  ad hoc
basis.  With respect to documents, the Committee decided to grant the OECD full access, subject to
objection by a Member in particular cases.  This decision was taken on a preliminary basis, to be
confirmed at the Committee's October meeting following receipt of full details of the decision of theParticipants Group.  The Committee also continued to invite the ACP Gr oup to attend its 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.  At its meeting in October, Committee confirmed the
decision it had taken in April concerning the OE CD.  With respect to the ACP Group, the Chairman
noted that the horizontal process had not been co mpleted, and the Committee agreed to maintain its
previous decision and revert to this matter at su ch time as there were any new developments to be
considered.
3. The focus of this report is on the period sin ce the Committee's last annual report (G/L/204), that
is, 1 November 1997 – 29 October 1998 (h ereinafter "the review period" ).  During the review period,
the Committee held two regular meetings, on 30 April 1998 and 29 Octobe r 1998 (G/ADP/M/12 and
G/ADP/M/13 respectively).
4. As of the beginning of the review period, Mr. Kajit Sukhum (Thailand) was Chairman, and
Ms. Michelle Slade (New Zealand) was Vice-Chai rperson of the Committee.  The Committee at its
regular meeting in April 1998 elected Mr. José Ant onio S. Buencamino (Philippines) as its Chairman
and Mr. Alvaro Espinoza (Chile) as its Vice-Chairperson.  Pursuant to the Committee's Rules of
Procedure, they took office at the end of that meeting.G/L/268

II. NOTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION OF ANTI-DUMPING LAWS AND/OR
REGULATIONS OF MEMBERS
5. The Committee decided, at its special meeting of 21 February 1995, that all Members which
had new or existing legislation and/ or regulations which apply in whol e or in part to anti-dumping duty
investigations or reviews covered by the Agreemen t would notify the full and integrated text of such
legislation and/or regulations to the Committee by 15 March 1995.  If such legislation and/or regulations
did not exist or were not available, the Member  would inform the Committee of this fact.  The
Committee also decided that Observer governments should provide the Committee the text of their laws
and regulations regarding anti-dumping duties.
6. As of 29 October 1998, 83 Members had notified the Committee regarding their domestic anti-
dumping legislation.1  Of these 83 Members, 25 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/... .  34 Members had not, as yet, made any notification under Article 18.5 of the
Agreement.  Annex A sets out the status of notifi cations concerning legislation under Article 18.5 of the
Agreement.  The Chairman expressed continuing c oncern over the failure of some Members to submit
the required notification concerning legislation, and a dded that for many of those Members, it was likely
that a single nil notification would suffice.  He encouraged Members who had not yet done so to make
this notification promptly.
7. During the review period, the Committee reviewed new notifications regarding anti-dumping
laws and/or regulations submitted by the following Members:  Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Canada,
Chad, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Haiti, Japan, Korea, M ongolia, Panama, Peru, Poland, Qatar, Singapore,
Slovak Republic, and the United States.  Written que stions and answers regarding these reviews may be
found in documents of the G/ADP/Q1/... series.
8. In addition to review of new notifications , during the review period the Committee undertook
further review of notifications of legislation pr eviously reviewed. Written questions and answers
concerning the notifications of the following Me mbers were considered by the Committee:  Brazil,
European Community, Israel, Peru, Singapore, Thailand, and the Unite d States.  Those questions and
answers may also be found in docum ents of the G/ADP/Q1/... series.
III. SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS ON ANTI-DUMPING ACTIONS TAKEN BY MEMBERS
9. Semi-annual reports for the pe riod 1 July-31 December 1997 .  As of 29 October 1998, semi-
annual reports of actions taken during this period had been submitted by 26 Members.  38 Members had
notified the Committee that they had not taken an y anti-dumping actions during this period.  The
remaining 53 Members required to do so had not submitted a notification in this regard.  At theCommittee's regular meeting in April, the Chairman expressed great concern about the poor status of
notifications.  Members who had not already done so we re strongly urged to submit these reports.  The
semi-annual reports were circulated in document se ries G/ADP/N/35/... .  Th e status of semi-annual
reports is set out in Annex B.
10. Semi-annual reports for the period 1 January-30 June 1998 .  As of 29 October 1998, semi-
annual reports of actions taken during this period had been submitted by 25 Members.  28 Members had
notified the Committee that they had not taken an y anti-dumping actions during this period.  The
remaining 64 Members required to do so had not submitted a notification in this regard.  At the
Committee's regular meeting in October, the Chairman again expressed great concern about the poorstatus of notifications, particularly since for ma ny if not most Members failing to notify, a simple

notification of no actions taken would suffice. Me mbers who had not already done so were strongly
urged to submit these reports.  The semi-annual reports were circulated in document series
G/ADP/N/41/... .  The status of semi-annual reports is set out in Annex B.
11.  A Table summarising anti-dumping actions taken by Members and reported in their semi-
annual reports during the period 1 July 1997 -30 June 1998 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 considera tion were received from Argentina, Australia,
Canada, the European Community, India, Indonesia,  Israel, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand,
Peru, South Africa, Thailand and the United St ates, as identified in documents G/ADP/N/34,
G/ADP/N/36, G/ADP/ N/37, G/ADP/N/38, G/ ADP/N/39, G/ADP/ N/40, G/ADP/N/42, G/ADP/N/43 and
G/ADP/N/44.  The Committee reviewed the notifications of preliminary and final actions at its regular
meetings in April and October.
13. Ad Hoc Group on Implementation :  The Ad Hoc Group on Implementation, which has agreed
to continue to meet regularly in conjunction with  the regular meetings of the Committee, held two
working meetings during the period under review, in April and October 1998.  The Group discussed all
ten topics referred to it by the Committee.2  Members submitted numerous papers substantively
addressing the topics before the Group, and also subm itted descriptions of their individual practices with
respect to certain issues arising in the discussions.  Pursuant to a decision taken by the Committee at its
meeting in April 1998, Observer governments in the Committee are invited to attend and participate in
the meetings of the Group on a somewhat expanded basi s, in light of the technical issues before the
Group.  Such participation, in accordance with th e Committee's decision, includes submitting papers on
the topics under discussion, and taking part fully in  the discussions, but does not extend to involvement
in the establishment of a consensus on any recomm endations by the Group to the Committee.  At its
meeting in October, the Group again considered papers and information submitted by Members on the
topics before it, as well as three draft recommendati ons.  The Group agreed by consensus on the text of a
draft recommendation concerning the timing of the requi rement for notification of the government of the
exporting Member under Article 5.5 of the Agreem ent, which it forwarded to the Committee for
adoption.  At its meeting in October, the Committ ee adopted the draft recommendation forwarded to it
by the Ad Hoc Group (G/ADP/5).  In addition, the Committee discussed possible changes to the list of
topics before the Ad Hoc Group for discussion.  Th e Committee decided that Members would be asked
to submit suggestions regarding (1) topics currently before Ad Hoc Group that could be retired or set
aside, without prejudice to their being put before th e Group again in the future, and (2) new topics that
could be referred to the Ad Hoc Group for discussion.
14. Informal Group on Anti-Circumvention :  The Informal Group on Anti-Circumvention met
twice during the period under review, in April a nd October 1998, in conjunction with the regular
meetings of the Committee.  The Informal Group c ontinued its discussions on the first item of the
agreed framework, "what constitutes circumvention".  Members conducted the discussions based onpapers submitted and further statements at the meetings.  The Informal Group agreed to continue to meet
regularly in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Committee.  Pursuant to a decision taken by
the Committee at its meeting in April 1998, Observer governments in the Committee are invited to
attend on the normal terms for Observer governments under the Committee's Rules of Procedure.
                                                     
2 The ten topics before the Group are:  treatment of confidential information, the period of data collection
for a dumping investigation, sampling under Article 6.10, special circumstances under Article 5.6, notification of
the government of the exporting Member under Article 5.5, Article 6.2 hearings, essential facts under Article 6.9,
