REPORT (2005) 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 in to force on 1 January 1995.  All Members of the 
WTO are ipso facto  members of the Committee on Anti-Du mping Practices established under the 
Agreement.   
2. Observer governments in the General Council of  the WTO have Observer status in the 
Committee.  The International Monetary Fund , World Bank and UNCTAD have regular Observer 
status in the Committee.  Pursuant to a decisi on of the Committee in October 1998, the OECD is 
invited to attend meetings on an  ad hoc  basis, and has full access to documents relevant to the 
Committee's work, subject to objection by a Member in  particular cases.  Also pursuant to a decision 
of the Committee in October 1998, the ACP Group is invited to attend 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.  Requests fo r Observer status from the Common Market for 
Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Gu lf Organization for Industrial Consulting are the 
subject of on-going consultations among Members.  
3. The focus of this report is on the period sin ce the Committee's last annual report (G/L/707), 
that is, 30 October 2004 – 1 November 2005 (hereinaft er "the review period").  During the review 
period, the Committee held two regular meetings  on 7 April 2005 and 31 October-1 November  2005 
(G/ADP/M/28 and G/ADP/M/29, respectively). 
4. As of the beginning of the review period, Mr. Ernesto Fernández (Costa Rica) was Chair, and 
Ms. Nicole Matrai (Australia) Vice Chair, of the Committee.  At its April 2005 meeting, the 
Committee elected Ms. Frida Collste (Sweden) as Chair, and Mr. Eduardo Tempone (Argentina) as 
Vice Chair.  Pursuant to the Co mmittee's rules of procedure, Ms. Collste and Mr. Tempone took 
office at the end of the meeting. 
II. NOTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION OF ANTI-DUMPING LAWS AND/OR 
REGULATIONS OF MEMBERS 
5. Article 18.5 of the Agreement provides that "Each Member shall in form the Committee of 
any changes in its laws and regulations relevant to  this Agreement and in the administration of such 
laws and regulations".  Pursuant to a decision of the Committee in February 1995, all Members 
having new or existing legislation a nd/or regulations which apply in whole or in part to anti-dumping 
duty investigations or reviews covered by the Agreement are requested to notify the full and 
integrated text of such legislation and/or regul ations to the Committee.  Changes in a Member's 
legislation and/or regulations are to be notified to  the Committee as well.  Pursuant to that same 
decision of the Committee, if a Member has no such  legislation or regulations, the Member is to 
inform the Committee of this fact.  The Committe e also decided that Observer governments should 
comply with these notification obligations. G/L/758

6. As of 1 November 2005, 96 Members had notif ied the Committee regarding their domestic 
anti-dumping legislation.
1  Of these 96 Members, 28 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/... .  Twenty-seven Members had not, as of the end of the review period, made any 
notification of anti-dumping legislation and/or re gulations.  Annex A sets out the status of 
notifications concerning legislation under Article 18.5 of the Agreement, and sets out the reference 
symbol of the document(s) containing each Memb er's current notification in this regard.  
7. During the review period, the Committee revi ewed new notifications regarding anti-dumping 
laws and/or regulations submitted by the following  Members:  Albania, Australia, China, Croatia, 
European Communities, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Jordan, Mongolia, and Turkey.  
Written questions and answers regarding these notif ications can be found in documents of the 
G/ADP/Q1/... series.  Statements of Members in this context are reflected in the minutes of the meetings. 
8. In addition to review of new notifications, during the review period the Committee undertook 
further review of the previously-reviewed notificati ons of legislation of Me xico and South Africa.  
Those questions and answers may also be found in documents of the G/ADP/Q1/... series.  
III. SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS ON ANTI-DUMPING ACTIONS TAKEN BY MEMBERS 
9. Semi-annual reports for the period 1 July-31 December 2004 .  As of 1 November 2005, 
semi-annual reports of actions taken during this period ha d been submitted by 24 Members
2.  Thirty-
six Members had notified the Committee that they had not taken any anti-dumping actions during this 
period.  The remaining 63 Members had not submitted a notification in this regard.  The semi-annual 
reports were circulated in document series G/ADP/N /126/... .  At the Committee's regular meeting in 
April 2005, the Chair reported that it appeared that  most Members taking actions had submitted semi-
annual reports in a timely fashion.  Members w ho had not submitted reports , including Nil returns, 
were strongly urged to submit these reports.  The Chair noted that although there continued to be 
some problems in the formatting of reports, Members clearly had made an effort to submit reports in 
the format established by the Committee, set out in document G/ADP/1.  The Chair reminded 
Members that the Secretariat was available to assist with questions about reporting.  The status of 
semi-annual reports is set out in Annex B. 
10. Semi-annual reports for the period 1 January-30 June 2005 .  As of 1 November 2005, 
semi-annual reports of actions taken during this period had been submitted by 23 Members.3  Thirty 
Members had notified the Committee that they ha d not taken any anti-dumping actions during this 
period.  The remaining 70 Members had not submitted a notification in this regard.  The semi-annual 
reports were circulated in document series G/ADP/N /132/... .  At the Committee's regular meeting in 
October-November 2005, the Chair reported that ther e remained a number of Members that had not 
responded to the request to submit reports for this pe riod, and urged all Members to comply with this 
notification requirement.  The status of se mi-annual reports is set out in Annex B.

 11. A Table summarizing anti-dumping actions ta ken by Members as reported in their semi-
annual reports for the period 1 July 2004 -30 June 2005 is reproduced in Annex C to this report.   
12. Semi-annual reporting.   At its April 2005 regular meeting, the Chair suggested that at the 
fall 2005 meeting, the Committee discuss problems or questions relating to the submission of semi-
annual reports, with a view to possibly improving the format or the guidelines.  At its October-
November 2005 regular meeting, the Committee he ld a preliminary discussion on this issue, and 
agreed that the Chair should hold informal consultations on it in early 2006.   
IV. 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 period under consideration were  received from Argentina, Australia, Canada, 
China, Egypt, the European Communities, India, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, 
Paraguay, South Africa, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United States, and Uruguay, as 
indicated in documents G/ADP/N/124+Add.1, G/ADP/N/125, G/ADP/N/127, G/ADP/N/128, G/ADP/N/129 G/ADP/N/130, G/ADP/N/ 131, G/ADP/N/133, G/ADP/N/ 134, G/ADP/N/135, and 
G/ADP/N/136. 
14. The Committee reviewed the notifications of preliminary and final actions at its regular 
meetings in April and October-November 2005.  At the Committee's meetings in April 2005 and in October-November 2005, the Chair noted that there continued to be a lack of full compliance in this 
area, as some Members who submitted semi-annual reports indicating preliminary and/or final 
measures had not submitted reports of preliminary or final actions taken.  The Chair highlighted the 
importance of this notification in the Committee's role in monitoring and discussing actions taken by 
Members.  A summary of the notifications submitted by Members pursuant to Article 16.4 is 
contained in Annex D of this report. 
15. At the Committee's April 2005 meeting, it was suggested that the Committee discuss this 
notification procedure as part of the discussions to be undertaken on problems or questions relating to 
the submission of semi-annual reports.  At its October-November 2005 meeting, the Committee held a 
preliminary discussion on this issue, and agreed th at the Chair should hold informal consultations on 
it in early 2006. 
V. TRANSITIONAL REVIEW OF CHINA 
16. During the October-November 2005 meeting,  the Committee undertook the review, as 
appropriate to its mandate, of th e implementation by China of the WTO Agreement and of the related 
provisions of its Protocol of Accession, as provided for in Paragraph 18 of the Protocol of Accession 
of the Peoples' Republic of China to the WTO.  At the meeting, the delegation of China responded 
orally to questions that had been previously subm itted in writing, and to follow-up questions posed at 
the meeting.  The statements of Members are reflected in the minutes of that meeting.
4  T h e  
Committee agreed that its report to the Council for Tr ade in Goods would be in the form of a brief 
factual report, with references to the documents c oncerned, and attaching the portion of the minutes of 
the meeting which relate to the tr ansitional review, prepared by the Chair on her own responsibility.   
 
                                                      
4 Questions and/or statements were circulated  in the following documents:  G/ADP/W/446, 
G/ADP/W/447, G/ADP/W/448, and G/ADP/W/449.   G/L/758

VI. WORKING GROUP ON IMPLEMENTATION:   
17. The Working Group on Implementation held two re gular working meetings during the period 
under review, in April and October 2005.  
18. At its meeting in April 2005, the Group conti nued the debates on the new issues referred to it 
by the Committee at the spring 2003 meeting.
5  Although only four Me mbers had submitted papers, 
on three of the new topics,6 the discussion had been interesting and useful in enabling Members to 
better understand the issues involved and the prac tices of various Members.  The Chair urged 
Members to submit papers on these topics, as addi tional information concerning national practices 
and different Members' views would add to the value of the discussions.   
19. Concerning the future work of the Group, the Chair noted that the four topics under 
discussion had been on the agenda for four meetings  and that only a limited number of papers from a 
limited number of Members had been submitted and discussed.  The Group decided to continue 
debating the four topics, and found useful in th is regard a document submitted by Hong Kong, China 
containing questions that might be used in fu ture submissions and discussions.  Some Members 
suggested that the Group consider, at future  meetings, developing recommendations on, inter alia , 
Article 6.7 – verification.   
20. At its meeting in October 2005, the Working Gr oup discussed two papers, on two of the new 
topics.7  The Working Group also requested the Se cretariat to prepare a draft recommendation on 
Article 6.7 – Conduct of verification, and to circul ate it to Members for consideration at the spring 
2006 meeting.  The Chair requested the Group to reflect  on its future work, and to come prepared to 
discuss this issue in detail, including the possibility of  developing a further list of topics, at the spring 
2006 meeting.   
VII. INFORMAL GROUP ON ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION   
21. The Informal Group on Anti-Circumvention me t once during the period under review, in 
April 20058.  At the meeting, the Group continued its discussions of a document previously submitted 
by New Zealand9, and of questions raised earlier by the Unite d States.  The Chair urged delegations to 
make best use of the Group by submitting docume nts and participating actively in the discussions. 
 
VIII.  OTHER BUSINESS 
22. During the review period, the Committee noted  statements regarding the following items 
under the agenda item "Other Business": 
                                                      
5 See document G/ADP/W/433, dated 4 June 2003.  The four topics are: Article 2.2 - Export prices to 
third countries or constructed normal value; Article 2.4.1 - Foreign exchange fluctuations; Article 6.7 - Conduct 
of verification; Article 13 - Judicial, arbitral or administrative review. 
6 The following documents were submitted:   
Article 2.2 – paper by the United States (G/ADP/AHG/W/166); 
Article 6.7 – papers by Egypt (G/ADP/AHG/W/170) and Pakistan (G/ADP/AHG/W/171); Article 13 – paper by India (G/ADP/AHG/W/169).   
7 The following new document was submitted: 
Article 2.2 – paper by Pakistan (G /ADP/AHG/W/172).  In addition, Pa kistan's paper on Article 6.7 was 
discussed. 
8 Because of shortness of meeting time and space due to preparations for the Hong Kong Ministerial 
Conference, and in the absence of any new submissions by Members, no meeting of the Group was held in October 2005.
