SECONP ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON THE 
COMMUNITY1S ANTI-DUMPING AND ANTI-SUBSIDY ACTIVITIES
INTRODUCTION
This report is submitted to the European Parliament following its 
Resolution of 16 December on the Community's anti-dumping 
activities1.  Although the report concentrates mainly on the 
Community's anti-dumping and anti-subsidy activities during 1983, for 
the purposes of comparison, details are also included of the number 
of investigations and reviews initiated and concluded in 1981 and 
1982. During this period the Community's basic legislation on anti­
dumping and anti-subsidization was Council Regulation (EEC)
No 3017/792,  for EEC products, and Commission Recommendation 
No 3018/79/ECSC3 for ECSC products. These instruments have since been 
amended and consolidated in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/844 and 
Commission Decision No 2177/84/ECSC5.  The legislation is in accord 
with the GATT codes on Anti-Dumping and Subsidies and Countervailing 
Duties to which the Community is a Party5.

ANTI-DUMPING AND ANTI-SUBSIDY INVESTIGATIONS
2. A summary of the Community's anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investiga­
tions initiated and concluded in the years 1981 to 1983 is given in 
Table 1 above.  Details of the individual actions taken in 1983 are 
provided in the annexes to this report. As mentioned in its first 
annual report to the Parliament on the Community's anti-dumping and 
anti-subsidy activities^, the Commission aims to achieve as great a 
degree of transparency as possible in its procedures. It is the 
practice, therefore, to publish full details of the dumping, or subsi­
dization and injury alleged in the complaint leading to the investiga­
tions. These are given in the notices of initiation which are pub­
lished in the Official Journal. In addition, the Decisions, Regula­
tions and Recommendations which conclude the investigations and apply 
anti-dumping or countervailing measures, where appropriate, set out 
the issues of fact and law which were considered to be material in the 
investigation and give reasons for the action taken. These instru­
ments are also published in the Official Journal.
3. Table 1  shows that 38 investigations were initiated in 1983. Although 
this represents a decrease compared with the number of investigations 
initiated in 1981 and 1982, the Community's activity in this area 
remained relatively high, the number initiated in 1983 being more than 
50 percent higher than in 1980. Details of the investigations 
initiated in 1983 are given in Annex A.
4. Table 1  also shows that 58 investigations were concluded in 1983.
This represents a marked increase compared with the number of 
investigations concluded in 1981 and 1982 and was the highest rate 
achieved in any normal year, the number of investigations concluded in 
1980 being due to exceptional factors which were outlined in thé 
Commission's first annual report to the Parliament.

IMPOSITION OF PROVISIONAL DUTIES
5. Once a preliminary determination has been made that dumping or 
subsidization has caused injury to a Community industry it is the 
Commission's practice to impose provisional duties unless the exporter 
offers a satisfactory price undertaking. This approach is in line 
with the terms of the Parliament's Resolution on the Community's 
anti-dumping activities and has led over the years to a steady 
increase in the number of provisional duties imposed. Thus, 22 
provisional duties were imposed in 1983 compared with 18 in 1982, 10 
in 1981 and only 7 in 1980. Details of the provisional duties imposed 
in 1983 are given in Annex B.
IMPOSITION OF DEFINITIVE DUTIES
6. In contrast to the trend between 1980 and 1982, when there was little 
variation in the number of definitive duties imposed, there was a 
marked increase in the number of investigations terminated by the 
imposition of definitive duties in 1983, the number of duties being 
imposed in the year being 20 compared with 7 in 1982 and 10 in 1981. 
The Commission, however, has not changed its attitude towards the 
acceptance of price undertakings as a possible alternative to the 
imposition of definitive duties, and the increase in the number of 
duties imposed in 1983 was due more to extraneous factors, such as the 
administrative inconvenience and impracticability of monitoring under- 
tâkings,  than to a change in the Community's policy on the application 
of anti-dumping and countervailing measures. Details of the investi­
gations concluded by the imposition of definitive duties in 1983 are 
given in Annex C.

- 5 -
ACCEPTANCE OF PRICE UNDERTAKINGS
7. Table 1 shows that 27 investigations were concluded by the acceptance 
price undertakings in 1983. Although this represents a marked 
decrease in the number of price undertakings accepted, compared with 
the previous year,  they still accounted for 57 percent of the measures 
applied in 1983. It remains the Commission1s practice, however, to 
accept them only after making a formal determination that dumping or 
subsidization has caused injury to a Community industry. Details of 
the investigations terminated by the acceptance of price undertakings 
in 1983 are given in Annex D.
INVESTIGATIONS CONCLUDED WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF PROTECTIVE MEASURES
8. Table 1  also gives the number of investigations which were concluded 
without the application of anti-dumping or countervailing measures.
V
Under the Community’s earlier legislation investigations were some­
times concluded because of changes in the market situation when the 
exporter raised his prices over a considerable period of time to 
levels which eliminated the margins of dumping without giving a formal 
price undertaking. It is no longer the Commission's practice to 
conclude an investigation on these grounds and now they are only 
concluded without protective measures being applied when it has been 
established that the imports were not dumped or subsidized during the 
period under investigation, or that they had not caused or threatened 
to cause material injury to a Community industry, or for other reasons 
when it is not in the Community's interest to continue the 
investigation or to apply protective measures.

-  6 -
9. 11 investigations were terminated without the application of anti­
dumping or countervailing measures in 1983, compared with 9 in 1982 
and 14 in 1981. Of these, 8 were terminated following a determination 
of no injury and 3 were terminated for other reasons. Details of the 
investigations terminated following a determination of no injury in 
1983 are given in Annex E and details of the investigations terminated 
during the year for other reasons are given in Annex F. The latter 
concerned video tape recorders from Japan, which was terminated by the 
withdrawal of the complaint by the Community industry, and iron and 
steel products from Spain and South Africa which were terminated in 
view of the steel arrangements concluded with these countries which 
involve quantitative limitations on their exports to the Community.
BREAKDOWN OF INVESTIGATIONS BY COUNTRY OF EXPORT AND BY PRODUCT
10. A breakdown by country of export of the number of investigations 
initiated in the years 1981 to 1983 is given in Annex G. The 38 
investigations initiated in 1983 concerned exports from 21 countries, 
though for 13 countries only one investigation was initiated during 
the period. The highest number of investigations initiated in respect 
of exports from individual countries in the year concerned Spain (5 
investigations) and Japan (4). On the other hand, only one investiga­
tion concerned imports from the USA, compared with 7 in 1982, and 
there was also a decline in the number of investigations concerning 
imports from the GDR (2) and Czechoslovakia (3).

- 7 -
11. The investigations initiated in 1981 to 1983 are also broken down in 
Annex H by product sector.  There was a marked decline in the number 
of investigations initiated in 1983 concerning exports of chemical and 
allied products compared with previous years, the number being less 
than half of those initiated in 1982. There was also a substantial 
fall in investigations concerning iron and steel products (4 in 1983 
compared with 15 in 1982). There were increases, however, in the 
number of investigations concerning imports from the mechanical 
engineering sector, as well as in the number concerning other products 
including horticultural glass, ceramic tiles, sanitary fittings, soya 
bean oil cake and shovels.
LENGTH OF INVESTIGATIONS
12. Although the Commission is constantly aware of the need to respond 
quickly to complaints of dumping or subsidization, it has been found 
that there are factors which still continue to reduce the scope for 
making substantial reductions in the time required to complete the 
investigations.  Some of these factors were referred to in the 
Commission's first annual report to the Parliament when it was pointed 
out that extra time is required to complete investigations in the 
Community because of the particular features of the Community's 
decision-making process in the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy field and 
the need to produce regulations and decisions in all Community 
languages before they enter into effect. These factors arise in 
addition to the pressures which are also experienced by the investiga­
ting authorities of other importing countries when attempting to 
obtain and verify data from all the interested parties within a 
reasonable time period in addition to investigating and deciding upon 
matters raised by the parties when making representations.
13. In 1983 the average length of investigations within the Community was 
also influenced by the number of exceptionally complicated cases for 
which Community legislation, in conformity with the GATT Codes, recog­
nizes the need to extend the duration of the investigation for more 
than the maximum period of one year provided for in normal cases. 
During 1983 the number of investigations brought to a final conclusion 
after more than a year, because of special circumstances.

-  8 -
was higher than usual. The average time taken to complete the normal 
investigations in 1983 was only 7.8 months, however, and this average 
is well within the average times taken to conclude normal investiga­
tions by the Community's major trading partners. Furthermore, pro­
tective measures were applied more quickly, where necessary, and the 
average time taken to impose provisional duties in the investigations 
concluded in 1983 was 5.7 months compared with 6.5 months in 1982. 
Given the procedures prescribed by the GATT Codes for the conduct of 
anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations and the imposition of 
provisional duties, it is difficult to envisage the possibility of 
making further reductions in these time periods.
REVIEWS
14. Community legislation provides for the review, where warranted, of the 
Regulations and Decisions imposing anti-dumping or countervailing 
duties and the Decisions to accept price undertakings. The reviews 
are generally held at the request of an interested party, though they 
may also be held on the Commission's own initiative or at the request 
of a Member State. The number of reviews opened, in progress and 
terminated in the years 1981 to 1983 is given in Table 2 below, 
together with the number of provisional duties imposed where price 
undertakings had been violated or had proved to be unacceptable.
15. It will be seen from Table 2 that there was a marked reduction in the 
number of reviews opened in 1983, only 10 reviews being opened in the 
year compared with 24 in 1982 and 17 in 1981. The reduction in 1983 
was contrary to expectations in view of the increase in the number of 
anti-dumping and countervailing measures in force in recent years and 
it remains to be seen whether or not this only reflects a temporary 
fall in the number of reviews requested by interested parties.
Details of the reviews opened in 1983 are given in Annex I.

16. Table 2 also shows the number of reviews terminated in the years 1981 
to 1983 and gives a breakdown according to the outcome as well as 
giving the number of provisional duties imposed during the reviews.
32 reviews were completed in 1983, the highest number in any year and 
consequently, only 2 reviews were still in progress at the end of the 
period. As a result of the reviews carried out in the year 8 price 
undertakings were replaced by definitive duties and 11 definitive 
duties were amended, in addition, 2 definitive duties were replaced 
by price undertakings, 8 price undertakings were amended and 3 price 
undertakings were repealed. 3 provisional duties were imposed during 
reviews carried out in 1983 and details of these are given in Annex J, 
while details of the reviews terminated during the year according to 
outcome are given in Annexes K to 0.
CASES BEFORE THE COURT OF JUSTICE
17. A list of the anti-dumping and countervailing cases before the Court 
of Justice in 1983 is given in Annex P No judgements were made by the 
Court during the year and three new cases were brought before it. In 
the cases brought in 1981 and 1982 the Court had been asked to decide 
on the admissibility of two appeals by complainants. These concerned 
the right to the opening of a countervailing proceeding (Fediol) and 
the right to challenge a regulation imposing an anti-dumping duty 
which the complainant considered to be too low (Timex). In addition, 
the Court had been asked to decide on the admissibility of an appeal 
regarding the imposition of provisional duty and the admissibility of 
an action by exporters on whose products anti-dumping duties had been 
imposed (joint case Allied and Kaiser). In the Fediol case the Court 
ruled that a Federation of the Community industry concerned could 
challenge before the Court a Commission decision to reject a 
complaint1.
Case 191/82. Judgement dated 4.10.83.

-  11 -
18. The first case brought before the Court in 1983 concerned the
Community's use of the evidence available when the exporters do not 
co-operate in the investigation (Allied and Kaiser) and the second 
concerned the meaning of a major proportion when defining the 
Community industry (Zorka; later withdrawn). The third case was 
brought by a Russian trading organisation (Raznoimport) to suspend the 
operation of a regulation imposing a provisional duty on imports of 
unwrought nickel.  The President of the Court made an interim decision 
in the case in July 1983^ but the case was later withdrawn.
