Annex I – Trends and Main cases by country  
1. UNITES STATES  
1.1. Overall trends 
Even if the USA remains the biggest user of the instruments against the EU or its Member 
States, the number of measures in force has de creased again, with 25 measures at the end of 
2007 as compared to 29 in the prior year. Th e overwhelming majority of those measures 
concern anti-dumping (21), whereas only 4 are countervailing duties. The reduction of the 
number of measures is mostly explained by revocation of measures on steel products (carbon 
steel flat products, stainless st eel bars and oil country tubular  goods) as a result of expiry 
reviews and (partial) implementation of WTO panel rulings (see below). 
For the first time since 2004, the USA initiated three new investigations in 2007. Those 
concern lightweight thermal paper from Germ any (AD) and sodium nitrite from Germany 
(AD/CVD) and France (AD). 
Once again, the main focus on the trade defence activity by the US concerned WTO dispute 
settlement proceedings, particularly related to the US practice of 'zeroing' and the incomplete 
implementation of the WTO ruling, as well as  the follow up of various expiry reviews.  
1.2. Main cases 
Zeroing  
Essentially, zeroing consists of disregarding non-dumped transacti ons in the calculation of the 
margins of dumping, which normally leads to an  inflation or even an artificial finding of 
dumping margins, and therefor e overstating antidumping duties.  T h e  U S  i s  o n e  o f  t h e  f e w  
countries still applying this methodology, and th e EC challenged this approach in WTO in 
two various proceedings (DS 294 and DS 350). In addition, Japan also challenged the US practice in WTO (DS 322) a nd many other WTO Members (e.g. Mexico, Thailand, Ecuador 
and Canada). 
In the first dispute (DS 294) the EC successfully  challenged a total of 31 measures, comprised 
of 15 initial investigat ions and 16 administrative reviews (DS 294). The US had until 9 April 
2007 to implement the DSB ruling. But, to date, the implementation has been incomplete and unsatisfactory.  
With regard to original investigations, the US stopped using zeroing when calculating 
dumping margins on a weighted av erage to weighted average basis in investigations initiated 
after, or ongoing on 22 February 2007. In the 15 sp ecific original invest igations of DS 294, 
the US re-calculated the dump ing margins without zeroing an d revoked the anti-dumping duty 
for those exporters now found not to  have dumped or to dump below de minimis  level. 
However, on the other hand, the US left a numbe r of important issues open. As an example, 
on the 16 specific administrative reviews, the Un ited States has not take n any action. It alleges 
that it does not have to, as each of the 16 meas ures condemned have been superseded by later 
administrative reviews in the meantime. Furtherm ore, the US only applied non-zeroed rates of 
duty to goods which entered the US after 9 April 2007, which results in the actual collection  
of duties with zeroing long after this date. As a result, the EC is now challenging the US 
 
EN 3   EN implementing actions before the WTO in a so - called 21.5 compliance procedure. The EC 
requested a panel in September 2007. The Panel report should be circulated in October 2008 
and may be followed by an appeal. If it is confirmed that the US is still not in compliance with its WTO obligations and if no correcting action is taken forthwith, the EC will be in 
position to request retaliation to press for full implementation. 
In addition to the above, the EC had also initia ted a second dispute settlement proceeding (DS 
350) in 2006 given that DG Trade identified 40  later cases in whic h the zeroing methodology 
was still applied by the US, but which were no t covered by the first di spute. Consultations 
were held in November 2006 and a second round in February 2007 where the parties failed to 
reach any agreement. As a result the EC reque sted the establishment of a WTO Panel to 
analyse the identified cases in May 2007. The panel in DS 350 was established at the DSB 
meeting of 4 June 2007 and its in terim report is expected in J une 2008 with the final report 
expected in September 2008. 
One issue which had been left open by DS 294 was the existence of a zeroing methodology  in 
reviews, on which the Appellate Body could not make a finding in the absence of sufficient 
factual findings in the Panel's report. The ne w DS 350 dispute initiall y covered the zeroing 
methodology in reviews. But, this was dropped at the later stage of the Panel as Japan, in the 
meantime, had been successful in its claim that  the US was maintaining a WTO incompatible 
zeroing methodology in reviews. However since then the US has faile d to implement these 
findings Japan is currently considering taking retaliatory/compensatory  measures, although it 
has requested a 21.5 panel as a first step. 
Three AD cases initiated. The US initiated 3 new anti-dumping AD cases at the end of 2007 on im ports of lightweight 
thermal paper from Germany, sodium metal fr om France, and sodium nitrate from Germany. 
The trade at stake is estimated at: US$ 134m per year for LWT paper, US$ 6.8m for sodium 
metal and US$ 1.4m for sodium nitrite, al l based on 2006 figures. The alleged dumping 
margins are quite high: 30-75% for the paper case, 66-110% for sodium metal, and 65-237% 
for sodium nitrite. 
The EC exporters concerned are actively seekin g to avoid imposition of measures and are in 
close contact with us. The injury analysis seems particularly weak in all three cases, as some 
of the ITC Commissioners voted against initiation or found only the existence of threat of 
injury. In fact, some EC exporters have chosen not to coopera te with the dumping 
investigation, but to concen trate on the injury case only. 
A common feature of these 3 ca ses is that the US petitione rs seem to have lodged the 
complaint on a relatively weak dumping and especi ally injury basis, mainly to protect their 
markets as sole domestic producers against thei r sole (or preponderant) foreign competitors. 
In addition, there are some issues  of wider concern e.g. the request  for the use of the "targeted 
dumping" methodology in the paper case. 
Low-enriched Uranium – AD duties from France In 2005 Eurodif, the French exporter succe ssfully challenged the anti-dumping and 
countervailing measures on imports of low-enriched uranium from France  (imposed in 2002) 
before a US Federal Court, which ruled that enrichment of uranium is a service rather than a good and therefore is not subject to trade defe nce instruments. Consequently, DOC is under 
pressure to revoke the AD duty (having revoked  the countervailing duty in 2007), although 
the case has now been appealed to the Supreme Court, which will have to decide whether to 
accept it.  
 
EN 4   EN On 19 December 2007, two identical bills (co llectively referred to as the "Whitfield 
amendment") were introduced in the US Hous e and Senate, with a vi ew to overturning the 
2005 US Federal Court judgement by explicitly stating that ur anium enrichment involves the 
sale of a good, not a service. While the purpose of  these bills is ostensibly to safeguard the 
US-Russia Uranium Agreement from a national security viewpoint, their most immediate effect will be make Eurodif liable for considerable anti-dumping duties which have been on deposit since 2002 and to make the US producer, USEC eligible to receive these duties under 
the Byrd Amendment. It would also make th e imposition of countervailing duties easier and 
facilitate the initiation of future cases agains t both Eurodif and the ot her EC, producer Urenco 
(a joint venture between Germany, Netherla nds and the UK). The Commission has been 
working closely with the French authorities an d the Urenco Member States, in particular 
objecting to the retroactive aspect of this legi slation and the possible transfer of duties to 
USEC under the Byrd Amendment. A letter to this effect was se nt to the US administration on 
10 April 2008. 
d) Stainless steel ba rs – sunset review 
On 8 January 2008, the US ITC revoked anti-dumpi ng measures on stainless steel bars from 
Germany, France, Italy and UK, as well as coun tervailing duty measures  on Italy. This was 
the culmination of a combined effort between  the EC exporters, Member States and the 
Commission, given the particular circumstances of this case. 
As regards the anti-dumping measures, the meas ures against the main exporters concerned 
had been revoked following the DS294 zeroing panel.  In its submission to the ITC, the EC 
argued that the remaining exporters were too sma ll to cause any injury to the US industry, and 
the ITC agreed with this argument.  
This revocation also removes a nother trade irritant, the "Firth Rixson" case in the UK (on 
which the EC had requested WTO consultations (DS319)). This measure, which involved the 
imposition of a 125.77% duty on the basis of unw arranted "facts available", was highly 
unsatisfactory and did not reflect well on the US DOC. 
2. I
NDIA  
After the US, India remains the country with the second highest number of measures against 
the EC, i.e. 19 in total. In 2007, one measure was terminated, while one new measure was imposed and one additional measure came into play  as a result of enlargement. India initiated 
two AD cases against; inter alia, the EU  in 2007 compared to one in 2006.  
Last years reports mentioned th e fact that during the course  of 2005, upon request of the EC 
exporters, India initiated revi ews of a number of anti-dump ing measures subject to WTO 
consultations. While several of these reviews led to a termination of the measures, the Indian 
domestic industry appealed a number of them . In some cases the measures were even 
reinstated, while waiting for the appeals to be decided by the Indian ap pellate tribunal. While 
in 2006 most of the appeals have  been either withdr awn by the domestic industry or dismissed 
by the Indian courts, the Indian industry re quested in December 2006 and in 2007 to extend or 
modify two of the measures c ontested by the EC as WTO non-co mpatible (Flexible Slabstock 
Polyol and Sodium Nitrite). Despite the fact  that there was no co-o peration from the EU 
industry, the EC strongly oppos ed these developments. While for one measure the 
investigating authority has excluded the EC e xporters from the antidumping duties (Flexible 
Slabstock Polyol), for the other case measures were extended in March 2008 (Sodium Nitrite). 
 
EN 5   EN 3. CHINA  
3.1. Overall trends 
China opened no new cases against the EC  compared to 1 in 2006 and 3 in 2005.  
It should be noted that in 2007 China terminat ed two investigations without the imposition of 
measures, butanol and octanol. In one case no caus al link between imports and injury could be 
established, and in the other cas e the investigation was terminated due to lack of injury. 
3.2. Main cases 
China imposed definitive AD measures on imports of potato starch from the EU in February 
2007. This is the only agricultural product from the EU on which China has imposed such measures, or indeed opened an investigation. The investigation was opened on the basis of a 
complaint from the Chinese potato starch industry but which did not include the largest Chinese manufacturer. A number of European exporters co-operated, as did the European 
Starch Association. The Commission worked clos ely with the exporters and the Association 
while also registering itself as an in terested party to the investigation. 
The definitive measures, which were imposed in February 2007, one year after the case had 
been initiated, ranged between 17% and 35%. Th is represented a significant and welcome 
drop from the level of duties imposed at provisional stage which ranged from 35%-57%. 
While there were some problems again regarding disclosure in this case, the Chinese 
authorities have since then agreed to improve  this aspect of their AD proceedings. The EC 
used the opportunity of a bilate ral Best Practices Gr oup to stress this issue to the Chinese and 
gave them detailed examples of how the EC handl es this aspect of investigations. It remains 
to be seen if this will bear fruit as there ha ve been no subsequent AD cases by them since that 
meeting.  
4. L
ATIN AMERICA  
4.1. Overall trends 
While the number of measures in place by La tin American countries decreased in 2006, it 
went up again in 2007. This is mainly the resu lt of new measures in Argentina, Brazil and 
Mexico. 
The imposition of measures by Arge ntina was expected given the initiation of four new cases 
in 2006. Three of those cases were anti-dumping i nvestigations which resu lted in measures in 
2007. The other measures from Latin America mos tly resulted from the enlargement of the 
EU, i.e. inclusion of existing meas ures against Romania and Bulgaria. 
The trade defence activity in Brazil was overa ll quite important in 2007: one new measure 
was imposed, three new investigations were in itiated and two expiry reviews were opened. 
Brazil and Argentina have also been a source of  major concern as it ap peared that those two 
countries still do not automatica lly recognise market economy status to the EU's newest 
member States in anti-dumping proceedings. This issue is explained in the general part of the 
report. 
4.2. Main cases 
Mexico: EU Request for WTO pane l on CVD measures – Olive oil 
 
EN 6   EN As mentioned in the last report, in Decem ber 2006, the Commission challenged the definitive 
countervailing measures which Mexico had imposed  on imports of olive oil from the EC back 
in August 2005. The European Communities reque sted the establishment of a dispute 
settlement panel in the WTO in December 2006. The panel was established on 23 January 
2007 and composed on 21 February 2007. The Pane l met with the parties on 26-27 June 2007 
and 3-4 October 2007. The issuance of the Pane l's interim report scheduled for 18 February 
2008 has been delayed for several weeks a nd no new date is currently available. 
The EC considers that the initiation and conduct of the investigation, as  well as the imposition 
of the definitive countervailing measures were inconsistent with Mexico's obligations under 
WTO rules, the main issues being: the non-exis tence of a domestic i ndustry; the simultaneous 
claim of material injury to the domestic industr y and material retardati on of the establishment 
of an industry; the lack of a reasonable and adequate expl anation of the existence of 
subsidisation, notably as rega rds pass-through of any benefit; the exceeding of the maximum 
time limit for the conduct of an investigati on (18 months) by almost six months; and the 
failure to make a proper analysis of any casual link between subsidization and injury.   
The EC requested the Panel to recommend Mexico to bring its measure into conformity with 
the WTO Agreements and to sugge st that a complete repeal of  the measure against EC olive 
oil would be the most appropriate and/or effective way to do so.  
Argentina - Imposition of provisional measur es on Hand saw blades from Sweden:  
Provisional measures were imposed in Ma y 2007. In February 2008, the Argentinean 
authorities accepted the price underta king proposed by the Swedish exporter.  
Argentina – AD measures on Electrical connection terminals from Germany: 
The investigation was initiated  in October 2007. We made a s ubmission emphasising that the 
information provided in the complaint was not adequate and accurate in order to justify the initiation. In particular, the evidence on dumping was not repres entative and the data provided 
on injury did not give a conclusive picture of the situation of the domestic industry. We pointed out that the complete ab sence of any analysis of other factors raises serious doubts as 
to the existence of a causal link between the allegedly dumped imports and the injury. We 
further pleaded for decumulation, since the beha viour of Chinese and German imports is not 
at all similar and their impact should  therefore be assessed separately.  
Brazil - AD measures on Indi go blue from Germany: 
The investigation was initiated in February 2007, provisional measures were imposed in 
October 2007 and definitive measures in 2008. There are only two producers of this dyestuff in the world who share the market. From the da ta provided it seemed clear that causes other 
than dumped imports had a significant impact on the situation of the domestic industry. The Commission supported the German exporter in hi s defence and made several submissions in 
writing as well as during hearings. However, none of the well founded arguments have been 
taken into account in the final decision.  
Canned peaches, AD expiry review against Greece: 
The review was initiated in April 2007. Followi ng the imposition of the original measures, 
Greek imports had ceased and were swiftly and completely replaced by Argentinean imports. 
The Commission, in coordination with the Gr eek exporters, provided duly substantiated 
arguments showing that the original measures di d not have their intend ed effect and thus a 
continuation of these measures was not warran ted. Nevertheless, the Brazilian authorities 
seem inclined to opt for a continuation. Effo rts by the Greek exporters to reach a price 
agreement, have, so far, not been succe ssful. The final decision is imminent.  
 
EN 7   EN 5. RUSSIA AND UKRAINE  
5.1. Overall trends 
The number of measures in place for these two countries increased as compared to the 
previous year. Russia imposed two new measur es, one anti-dumping and one safeguard, and 
Ukraine three safeguard measures. Ukraine is  now the country having the most safeguard 
measures in place, with nine in total. Althoug h it is regrettable that Ukraine makes use of 
safeguards rather than a country specific instru ment such as anti-dumping, it should be noted 
that, due to the nature of the measures imposed in those cases, EU expor ts are not affected in 
any way. 
In the course of 2007, Ukraine has initiated tw o new safeguard cases. This compares to four 
cases initiated in the previous year, but Ukrain e nevertheless remains an intensive user of SFG 
instrument in general. Russia also initiated on e new safeguard investigation at the end of the 
year. 
5.2. Main cases 
a) Russia: Safeguard initiation on stainless steel 
This anti-dumping investigation was the onl y one initiated by Russia in 2007 and was 
launched at the end of the year. The Commissi on closely follows this case in coordination 
with the industry due to its importance for th e EU industry and contested several important 
weaknesses, mainly in terms of the product definition and injury analysis. 
b) Russia: Anti-dumping measures  on stainless steel pipes  
This anti-dumping investigation had been in itiated by Russia back in 2004, and involves 26 
product groups for which EC exports to Ru ssia amount to approximately €75m per year.  
This case was of a significant economic (about 75 Mio. EUR) and political interest for the 
European industry. Together with the Commi ssion they were actively involved in the 
investigation. Finally, measures were imposed 27 months after initiation of investigation 
(February 2007) hence not in compliance with WTO legislati on that allows 18 months to 
impose measures. Since then there has been intense efforts to minimise the effects of these measures for EU exporters.  
c) Russia: Safeguard measure imposed on Woven Glass Fibres 
Russia imposed definitive safeguard measures  on woven glass fibres in December 2007. The 
economic interest in this case was not signific ant. Measures imposed were in form of ad 
valorem duty of 14,2% for abrasive scrims and 33,4% for the others. 
d) Ukraine: Safeguard investigation on  seamless case pipe and tubings 
This safeguard investigati on was initiated in August 2007. The European Commission made 
submission to the Ukrainian authorities in order to ensure compliance with WTO rules. Commission is especially closely monitoring those cases as Ukraine is also significant user of 
safeguards. 
e) Ukraine: Safeguard investigation on Polyvinylchloride 
This case was initiated in Oct ober 2007 and potentially could have  significantly affected EU 
member states, mainly Germany and Poland gi ven the volume of EC exports amounting to 
around €70m. The Commission submitted its comment s to the investigating authorities, 
outlining the main weaknesses in the non-confiden tial version of the comp laint. These related 
 
EN 8   EN mainly to the failure on the part of the petitioner to demonstrate that imports were, in fact, be 
the cause of injury or threat thereof. Firstly, the figures demonstrate a positive trend, secondly, the increase in imports only reflect s the increase in dema nd and finally, no other 
factors were examined. Furthermore, the analys is is supported by the da ta for only a very 
short period of time. The inve stigation is ongoing and in this context the Commission has 
urged the Ukrainian aut horities to refrain for attributing injury to increased imports when 
clearly other factors are to blame. 
f) Ukraine: Safeguard Measures Cotton Fabrics The main exporting countries are Germany a nd Poland. The measure imposed in June 2007 
was a minimum import price of 0.57 USD/m2 wh ich has no effect on EU exports which are 
priced higher than that. 
g) Ukraine: Safeguard Measures  Gas-charged incandescent lamps 
The main countries concerned are Hungary, Austria, Poland and Slovakia. The economic 
interest of EU industry was not  very high. The measure was imposed in July 2007 in the form 
of minimum import price of 0.481 USD/Item, which does not affect the EU exports to 
Ukraine. 
h) Ukraine: Safeguard Measures Knitted fabrics 
The main countries concerned are Germany, It aly and Poland. The economic interest of EU 
industry was low. The measure imposed in Marc h 2007 was in form of minimum import price 
of 2.78USD/kg which does not affect the EU exports which are priced much higher. 
6. T
URKEY  
6.1. Overall trends 
While Turkey imposed an unprecedented numbe r of safeguard measures in 2006, i.e. five 
measures in one year, no new measures were  imposed in 2007. Unfortunately this does not 
reflect a change in Turkey's policy towards the use of the instrument. Indeed, Turkey initiated 
three new safeguard investigations in 2007, whic h is the highest number of safeguard cases 
initiated by one single country in that year. 
As explained below, the developments in those cases are particularly unsatisfactory. Turkey 
continues to initiate cases and impose measur es on an erga-omnes basis while it clearly 
appears that the problems faced by its industry are caused by low priced imports from specific 
countries, but also caused by factors other th an imports. The Commission again intervened 
forcefully in those cases, but unfortuna tely Turkey remained on its position. 
6.2. Main cases 
Safeguard measures on Frames and mountings for spectacles 
This investigation was initiated in February  2007. The Commission worked closely with the 
investigating authorities, visite d Ankara in the frame of this  investigation and intervened 
repeatedly at the highest official level. Give n that exports from the EU  of the product were 
made at prices far higher than those from other sources (China) or  indeed those of the 
domestic industry it was clear that the EU pro ducts were not the cause of injury. This was 
pointed out to the authorities by several occasion s. It needs to be noted that the EC industry 
did not cooperate in a desired extend. The Co mmission requested Turkey to seek the least 
damaging measure e.g. a minimum import price which would not have any impact on the 
 
EN 9   EN genuine products coming from the EU which are clearly not a cause of the problems. At the 
beginning of 2008 it was decided to impose a fixed duty per piece on all imported products 
irrespective from the country of  origin. The Commission contested the form and extent of the 
proposed measure.  
Safeguard measures on Travel goods, handbags and similar containers This investigation was initiated in June 2007. The Commission again intervened to address 
similar problems. Here again, th e EU exports were not causing in jury. It was pointed out to 
the Turkish authorities that exports from the EU of the product were made  at prices far higher 
than those from other sources or indeed those of the domestic industry. As a result European 
exports could not be seen as the cause of injury. On this basis we focussed our efforts on 
having the Turkish authority to propose a measure based on a mi nimum import price so as not 
to penalise imports that did not in fact cont ribute to the injury suffered by the Turkish 
industry. The definitive measures irrespective from the country of origin were imposed in 
form of a fixed duty at the beginning of 2008. 
Safeguard investigation on Ce rtain electrical appliances 
This case was initiated in December 2007 and the Commission, after coordination with the 
EC industry, has urged the inves tigating authorities to  discontinue this i nvestigation due to 
many technical weaknesses mainly in terms of too broad product scope definition and unclear 
support of the domestic producers to this ap plication as well as the unconvincing and 
unreliable injury analysis. The injury analysis showed positive trends in many indicators and 
was based only on indexes even though after disclo sure of real figures the confidentiality 
would be warranted.  
d) Antidumping measures on Poly vinylchloride – expiry review 
This antidumping measures of $25/t for co-ope rating exporters and $45/t for non co-operating 
exporters in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy,  Hungary, Netherlands, Romania and Finland 
was about to expire on 5 Fe bruary 2008, however an expiry  review was launched for 
exporters in Germany, Italy and Romania on 1 February 2008. Commission is assisting the 
European companies concerned and follows this proceeding. 
7. A
USTRALIA  
7.1. Overall trends 
The number of measures in place in Australia decr eased from five measures  in 2006 to four in 
2007. This follows the expiry of the measures against Greek canned peaches which were in place since 1992. No new measures were imposed by Australia in 2007, but it should be noted 
that a safeguard cases was initiated against im ports of meat of swine. At provisional stage 
Australia did not impose any measure grounds of lack of evidence that imports were causing 
the injury suffered by the domestic industry. It should be mentioned that early in April 2008 
the Australian authorities confirmed thei r provisional findings and terminated this 
investigation without imposing any measure.  
7.2. Main cases 
Australian pig farmers have requested the in itiation of a safeguard investigation against 
imports of frozen cuts of meat of swine in October 2007 since th ey are experimenting 
difficulties, notwithstanding the fact that they compete with imports only on part of the pig 
meat market. Today only USA, Canada and De nmark meet the sanitary and phytosanitary 
 
EN 10   EN requirements to export to Australia. On 14 December 2007, the Australian investigating 
authority proposed not to impose provisional m easures, since no causal link has been found 
between imports and the difficult situation of the Australian pig farmers, the principal cause of injury being the higher dom estic feed prices (pig producer s worldwide, including in the 
EU, face a similar situation). It should be underlined that in April 2008 the Australian 
authorities confirmed their findi ngs that imports did not cause  any serious injury to the 
domestic industry and the investigation was terminated without imposition of measures. 
8. T
UNISIA  
In 2006, Tunisia, for the first time, initiated tw o safeguard investigations. No development in 
those investigations took place in 2007. Desp ite the Commission's various requests for 
information concerning the pr ogress of those investigations , Tunisia did not provide any 
answer. Although the investigations have not been officially closed, it w ould be very difficult 
for Tunisia to justify the imposition of measures  almost two years after the initiation of the 
investigations given that safegua rds are an emergency measures. 
9. JAPAN  
Japan has initiated in 2007 its first anti-dumping case against an EU Member State. The case 
which was opened in April 2007  involved electrolytic mangane se dioxide exported from 
Spain to Japan. The industry co-operated w ith the Japanese authorities in the case.  
10. JORDAN  
Jordan initiated a safeguard investigati on on ceramic tiles in January 2007 and the 
Commission has followed closely developments in the case given that EC tiles producers 
would be affected by any restric tion to imports into Jordan. In  July 2007 the investigation was 
terminated upon request of petiti oner, after a private "gentleman's agreement" was reached in 
June between a number of ceramic tile importe rs and domestic producers under the auspices 
of the Amman Chamber of Commerce and th e Chamber of Industry. The EC cautioned 
against the use of such informal measures, e xpressing preference for the use of proper legal 
instruments to deal with this type of problems.
