ARTICLE 16.4OFTHE AGREEMENT
1January 1996 to30June1996
1. Thesymbol (R)isusedifaninvestigation isopened inthecontext ofareview ofanexisting
anti-dumping measure.
Where aninvestigation isconducted inthecontext ofareview ofanexisting anti-dumping
measure, thedateofcompletion ofthereview isshown incolumn 5,butgenerally itisnot
possible tostatethemargin ofdumping inthiscolumn. Thisisbecause thereview procedure
wasinitiated toallow Canadian authorities todetermine thecurrent normal value oftheimported
product, inorder todetermine, inthefuture, whether imports oftheproduct aredumped.
Asthemargin ofdumping isequal tothedifference between theexport price andthenormal
value, itisimpossible todetermine, apriori ,thepercentage margin ofdumping. Inaddition,
Canadian authorities compile statistical dataconcerning tradevolume oftheimported product
onlywhen reviewing adetermination ofinjury inthecontext ofpossible revocation oftheanti-
dumping measure. Asaresult, statistical dataontrade volume forcolumns 11,12and13
arenotavailable forinvestigations ofexisting anti-dumping measures.
2. Provisional measures apply from thedateofapreliminary determination ofdumping tothe
dateonwhich theCanadian International Trade Tribunal makes itsfinding regarding injury
caused totheCanadian industry (maximum 120daysfrom thenotice ofthepreliminary
determination). Thepercentage represents theestimated weighted average margin ofdumping
calculated asapercentage ofnormal value.
3. Either thedateofapositive injury finding, inacaseofaninvestigation, orthedateofthe
conclusion ofareview ofnormal values andexport prices incases where there isanexisting
CanadianInternationalTradeTribunalfindingofinjury.Thepercentagerepresentstheweighted
average margin ofdumping calculated asapercentage ofnormal value atthetimeofthefinal
determination ofdumping.
4. Theword "Renewal" indicates thatanexisting undertaking wasrenewed following areview
oftheinjury question; theword "Amendment" indicates thatatechnical amendment wasmade
totheundertaking, normally toaccount forchanges intheprice orterms contained therein.
Thewords "Not Renewed" indicate thatanexisting undertaking wasnotrenewed following
areview oftheinjury question and,asaresult, wasallowed toexpire onitsanniversary date.
5. Thetrade volume isbased onstatistical dataforthelatest available 12-month period prior to
initiation, except asfollows:
* 01.01.94 to31.12.94 (DryPasta originating inorexported from Italy)
6. Areview oftheundertaking forfrozen prepared potpiesandfrozen prepared dinners originating
inorexported fromtheUnited States, initiated on19.10.95, wasconcluded on14.01.96 As
aresult ofthisreview, itwasconcluded thattheundertaking accepted on15.07.85 nolonger
served thepurpose forwhich itwasintended; andassuch, wasallowed toexpire on14.01.96,
thereby terminating allproceedings inthecase.G/ADP/N/16/CAN
