 REPORT (2014) OF THE COMMITTEE ON 
ANTI-DUMPING PRACTICES 
(ADOPTED 29 OCTOBER 2014) 
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 23 October 2013–29 October 2014 ("the review period"). During 
the review period, the Committee held two regular meetings, on 30 April and 29 October 2014 (G/ADP/M/46 & G/ADP/M/46/Suppl.1 an d G/ADP/M/47, respectively).  
4.  As of the beginning of the review period, Ms Parima Damrithamanij (Thailand) was Chair and 
Ms Alana Hudson (New Zealand) was Vice-Chair of the Committee. At its April meeting, the Committee elected Mr Andrew Staines (United Kingdom) as Chair and Mr Hamed El-Etreby (Egypt) as Vice-Chair. Messrs Staines and El-Etreby took office at the end of that meeting.  
2  NOTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION OF ANTI-DUMPING LAWS AND/OR REGULATIONS 
OF MEMBERS 
5.  Pursuant to Article 18.5 of the Agreement and a decision of the Committee in February 1995, 
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 
or regulations, the Member is to inform the Co mmittee of this fact. The Committee also decided 
that Observer governments should comply with these notification obligations. 
6.  As of 29 October 2014, 76 Members had notified their anti-dumping legislation
1, while 
37 Members had notified that they had no such legislation. These notifications can be found in 
document series G/ADP/N/1/... . Nineteen Members had not, as of the end of the review period, 
made any notification of anti-dumping legislation. Annex A sets out the status of notifications 
under Article 18.5, and the reference symbol(s) of the document(s) containing each Member's 
current notification.  
7.  During the review period, the Committee reviewed new notifications of legislation submitted by 
the following Members: Australia, Brazil, Came roon, Congo, the European Union, the Gambia, 
Mexico, Montenegro, New Zealand, Qatar and the United States. It also continued its review of the

  notifications of Chile and the Russian Federation . Written questions and answers regarding these 
notifications can be found in documents of the G/ADP/Q1/... series.  
3  SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS ON ANTI-DUMPING  ACTIONS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 16.4 
8.  With respect to the semi-annual reports for the period 1 July-31 December 2013, as of 
29 October 2014, 34 Members2 had notified the Committee of anti-dumping actions taken during 
this period. Twenty- three Members had notified the Committee that they had not taken any anti-
dumping actions during this period. Eighteen Members that notified competent authorities and 
14 Members that did not notify competent authorities had not submitted a notification in this regard. These semi-annual reports were circulated in document series G/ADP/N/252/... . The 
status of semi-annual reports for this period is set out in Annex B. Questions raised concerning 
these reports can be found in the minutes of the meeting and in document series G/ADP/Q2/… .

29 October 2014, 34 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-
dumping actions during this period. Twenty-six Members that notified competent authorities and 
15 Members that did not notify competent authorities had not submitted notifications in this 
regard. These semi-annual reports were circulated in document series G/ADP/N/259/... . The

4  
11.  At the Committee's meetings in April and October 2014, the Chair(s) strongly urged Members 
that had not submitted reports of actions taken, ni l returns or one-time notifications, to submit 
these notifications. 
12.  At the Committee meeting in April 2014, the Chair drew Members attention to three 
interconnected chronic problems regarding their semi-annual reports. These were late submission 
of the reports, technical errors contained wi thin and slow responses of Members' to the 
Secretariat's repeated requests for corrections, which could reduce transparency due to delays of available accurate information and undermine the ability to maintain an updated and reliable 
database. She urged Members to carefully review all the information in their semi-annual reports 
before submitting them, observe the announc ed submission deadlines, make use of the 
instructions contained in the semi-annual reports format adopted by the Committee and provide 
any necessary corrections within one week from bein g contacted by the Secretariat in this respect. 
13.   A table summarizing new anti-dumping action s taken by Members as reported in their semi-
annual reports for the period 1 July 2013-30 June 2014 is reproduced in Annex C to this report.  
4  REPORTS ON ALL PRELIMINARY OR FINAL ANTI-DUMPING ACTIONS 
14.  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; Chile; 
China; the Dominican Republic; Egypt; the European  Union; India; Japan; Korea, Rep. of; Mexico; 
New Zealand; Morocco; Pakistan; Peru; Philippines; the Russian Federation; South Africa; Chinese 
Taipei; Turkey; Ukraine; the United States and Vi et Nam as indicated in documents G/ADP/N/250,

G/ADP/N/258, G/ADP/N/260, G/ADP/N/261, G/ADP/N/262 and G/ADP/N/263.

  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 measures had not submitted reports 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.  
16.  The Chairs also reiterated the importance of submitting these notifications, as in the case of 
all other notifications, to the WTO Centre for Registration and Notification with a copy to the 
Secretary of the Committee. Members were also requested not to resubmit previously submitted notifications and to verify the electronic web-links included in such notifications.  
5  WORKING GROUP ON IMPLEMENTATION 
17.  The Working Group on Implementation held two meetings during the review period, back-to-
back with the Committee's regular meetings in April and October 2014. 
18.  At its meeting in April 2014 the Group discu ssed one paper submitted by Brazil, entitled 
"Article 3.5 – Other Known Causes of Injury", while at its meeting in October 2014, the Group 
discussed another paper submitted by Brazil, enti tled "Articles 6.10 and 9.4 – Sampling and All 
Others Rate". Brazil made detailed introductory  remarks pertaining to both papers at these 
meetings, followed by questions and answers sessions that addressed issues pertaining to the 
papers at both meetings. Many Members took the opportunity to explain their practices on similar 
issues. The Chairs encouraged Members to submit papers on the nine topics currently under 
discussion in the Group.  
19.  At the Group's meeting in October 2014, Brazil also proposed that Members reflect on how the 
work of this Group be reinvigorated and suggested further that Members could consider the inclusion of new topics in the list of topics which are currently before the Group for discussion. As 
Members also expressed their willingness to reflec t on these suggestions, the Chair proposed to 
hold informal consultations to explore Members ideas in this regard and report back to the Committee.  
6  INFORMAL GROUP ON ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION 
20.  The Informal Group on Anti-Circumvention he ld two meetings during the review period, back-
to-back with the April and October 2014 meetings of the Committee.  
21.  At the Group's meeting in April 2014, no new papers were submitted for consideration at the 
meeting. However, Brazil suggested that given the fact that no papers were submitted for the last 
few years, the work of the Group should be suspended until new papers were tabled. No other Member had views on this suggestion. In order to allow time for Members to reflect on this 
suggestion, the Chair indicated that for the pu rpose of the October 2014 meeting, the Group 
should plan to continue along the same lines as has been the case to date.  
22.  At the Group's meeting in October 2014, no new papers were submitted for consideration at 
the meeting. Brazil reiterated its suggestion and proposed that the Informal Group would not be 
convened unless a new paper was submitted or a Member asked that the meeting take place. Brazil further suggested that the standing item in the regular meeting of the Committee regarding 
the work of the Group be maintained regardless of  whether or not the Group actually meets, such 
that issues regarding the work of the Group co u l d  b e  r a i s e d  a t  a n y  t i m e .  A s  s e v e r a l  M e m b e r s  
wished to further reflect on this idea, the Chair invited Brazil to discuss this issue bilaterally with other interested delegations and report back to the Committee at its next meeting.

7.1  European Union – Anti-Dumping Measur e on Certain Seamless Pipes and Tubes of 
Iron from the Russian Federation – Item  Requested By the Russian Federation 
23.  At the April 2014 meeting, the Russian Federation expressed concern regarding some 
Members' interpretation of the notion of product under consideration and the practical implications in the case of the European Union's measures  imposed on seamless pipes from the Russian 
Federation. The European Union confirmed that its investigations in this respect were conducted to 
the highest standards and in accordance with the WTO and the European Union's anti-dumping rules.  
7.2  United States – Anti-Dumping Measur e on Ammonium Nitrate – Determination of 
the Scope of the Measure – Item Requested by the Russian Federation 
24.  At the April 2014 meeting, the Russian Federation also referred to the same systemic concern 
regarding some Members' interpretation of the notion of product under consideration and the 
implications it had in case of the measures introduced by the United States on the Russian Federations' exports of ammonium nitrate and products of ammonium nitrate which were basically fertilizers commercially used by agricultural pr oducers. The United States confirmed that the 
United States Department of Commerce's determination in this case was made within the context 
of the United States' anti-dumping law and regulation and was consistent with its international obligations.  
7.3  Product Scope Determinations in Anti -Dumping Investigations and Measures by 
Certain Members – Item Requeste d by the Russian Federation 
25.  At the October 2014 meeting, the Russian Federation reiterated its concerns regarding 
product scope issues in anti-dumping investigations. In this context, it referred to the interim 
review conducted by the European Union of its measure on ready-made seamless pipes from the Russian Federation, and the measures applied by the United States on Russian ammonium nitrate. The European Union requested to receive the qu estions posed in writing. The United States 
indicated that as this issue is currently before its domestic courts, it would not elaborate further 
and requested to receive the questions in writing as well.

Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures covering comparable countervail 
notifications at the same workshop.   
34.  At the April and October 2014 meetings, the Chairs encouraged Members that had issues to
