 REPORT (2015) OF THE COMMITTEE ON

(ADOPTED 28 OCTOBER 2015) 
1  ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE ON ANTI-DUMPING PRACTICES 
1.  The Agreement on Implementation of Articl e VI of GATT 1994 ("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 ("the Committee") established under the Agreement.  
2.  Observer governments in the General Counc i l  o f  t h e  W T O  h a v e  O b s e r v e r  s t a t u s  i n  t h e  
Committee. The International Monetary Fund, World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer status in the Committee. Pursuant to a decision of the Committee in October 1998, the ACP Group 
and the OECD are invited to attend meetings on an ad hoc  basis. Requests for Observer status 
from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa and the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting are under consideration by Members.  
3.  This report covers the period 29 October 2014–28 October 2015 ("the review period"). During

all Members having new or existing legislation and/or regulations which apply in whole or in part to 
anti-dumping duty investigations or reviews cove red by the Agreement are requested to notify the 
full and integrated text of such legislation an d/or regulations to the Committee. Changes in a 
Member's legislation and/or regulations are also to be notified. If a Member has no such legislation

this period. Twenty-one Members had notified the Committee that they had not taken any anti-dumping actions during this period. Nineteen Me mbers that notified competent authorities and

28 October 2015, 33 Members had notified the Committee of anti-dumping actions taken during this period.
3 Fifteen Members had notified the Committee that they had not taken any anti-

11.  At the Committee's meetings in April and October 2015, the Chairs strongly urged Members 
that had not submitted reports of actions taken, ni l returns or one-time notifications, to submit 
these notifications. 
12.  A table summarizing new anti-dumping action s taken by Members as reported in their semi-
annual reports for the period 1 July 2014-30 June 2015 is reproduced in Annex C to this report.  
4  REPORTS ON ALL PRELIMINARY OR FINAL ANTI-DUMPING ACTIONS 
13.  Pursuant to Article 16.4 of the Agreement,  reports of preliminary and final anti-dumping 
actions during the review period were received from Argentina; Australia; Brazil; Canada; China; Egypt; the European Union; Guatemala; India; Japan; Korea, Rep. of; Mexico; Morocco; New Zealand; Pakistan; Peru; Philippines; the Russian Federation; South Africa; Chinese Taipei; 
Trinidad and Tobago; Turkey; Ukraine; the United States and Viet Nam as indicated in documents 
G/ADP/N/264, G/ADP/N/266, G/ADP/N/267, G/ADP/N/268, G/ADP/N/269, G/ADP/N/270, G/ADP/N/271, G/ADP/N/273, G/ADP/N/274, G/ADP/N/275, G/ADP/N/276 and G/ADP/N/277.  
14.  The Committee reviewed the notifications of pr eliminary and final actions at its meetings in 
April and October 2015. Questions raised concerning these reports can be found in the minutes of the meetings. At these meetings, the Chairs drew attention to the apparent lack of full compliance 
in this area, as some Members that submitted semi-annual reports indicating preliminary and/or 
final actions had not submitted ad hoc notifications of preliminary or final actions taken. The Chairs highlighted the importance of this notification to  the Committee's role in monitoring and discussing 
actions taken by Members, and recalled that the revised minimum information format that had 
been adopted by the Committee in October 2006
5 and revised in October 20096 clarified the kinds 
of actions to be notified and the information to be submitted. A summary of the notifications submitted by Members pursuant to Article 16.4 is contained in Annex D of this report.

meeting - a new approach for work based on a topic centred discussion, a discussant assisting the Chair to facilitate the dialogue, deformalized submissions and a general non-attributable summary report circulated by the Secretariat following th e meeting as per current practice. The Group also
