COMMISSION WORKING DOCUMENT

Annex I – Trends and main cases by country

1. untited states

1.1. Overall trends

With 23 measures at the end of 2009, the US remains the country with the highest number of trade defence measures in force against the EU. It should however be noted that the number of measures decreased as compared to 2008 and no new investigations were initiated and no new measures imposed in 2009. The measures currently in force are 20 AD and 3 CVD measures.

With regard to the 'zeroing' cases, as reported last year, the EU was successful in both cases, the DS 294 and DS 350. However, the implementation of these Panel decisions by the US is still pending and the Commission has taken the appropriate steps.

1.2. Main cases

Zeroing remains the most important issue with the US. It is recalled that zeroing is a practice whereby non-dumped transactions are disregarded in the calculation of the dumping margin, often resulting in artificially inflated duties. The EU challenged this practice in two WTO dispute settlement cases DS 294 and DS 350. Although, the Panel decided in favour of the EU in both cases, the US still has to comply with the Panels' decisions.

In the first Zeroing case (DS 294), the EU had requested a so-called compliance panel, which issued its report in December 2008. The EU received the Panel’s confirmation that the US cannot escape its WTO obligations by conducting annual reviews of a duty and then arguing that such reviews have "superseded" the challenged measure and can only be subject to challenge in a new dispute. Nonetheless, the EU decided to appeal this report as it disagreed with certain aspects of the Panel’s additional findings. The final ruling in this dispute found that the US had to stop this unfair practice immediately. But so far the US has done nothing to comply. Therefore, the Commission has taken the further steps foreseen in the proceeding and requested the WTO to authorise trade sanctions against the US. Since the US did not agree with the amount of sanctions proposed by the Commission, an arbitrator was nominated and a hearing will take place to decide on the level of the sanctions. The arbitrator has 60 days to issue an award.

In the second Zeroing case (DS350), the AB confirmed the main EU claims on appeal, rejected all grounds of appeal put forward by the US and upheld the Panel's findings that the US was in breach of its WTO obligations by applying zeroing in periodic reviews. Therefore, the US was required to implement the recommendations and rulings in this dispute. Implementation in this case involves recalculating the dumping margins in the 46 individual measures identified by the EC, without using zeroing. The reasonable period of time agreed with the US to comply with WTO obligations expired on 19 December 2009. Again, the US has effectively done nothing to further implement the panel decision. The Commission is at present considering further actions as a result of the US's lack of compliance.

2. India

2.1. Overall trends

India remains second in the list of countries having measures in force against the EU. Even if the number of measures has decreased in the last years (from 19 in 2007 to 15 in 2009), India has been the most active country in 2009 with the initiation of 10 new investigations (of which 9 safeguards) and the imposition of 7 new measures in 2009. In addition, India initiated 4 expiry reviews of AD duties in force against the EU ( mica pearl pigment, propylene glycol, PVC paste resin and sodium hydrosulphite ).

The most remarkable development in 2009 was of course the initiation of no less than 9 safeguard investigations against a wide range of products. This is an extraordinary increase as compared to 2008 with only 3 new safeguard investigations. India has also initiated a number of China specific safeguards.

2.2. Main cases

a) Termination of safeguard investigations

Out of the 9 new safeguard investigations 7 concerned products exported from the EU ( oxo alcohol, hot rolled coils, acrylic fibre, coated and uncoated paper, plain particle board, unwrought aluminium, and aluminium waste and scrap ) for an estimated value of 500 million €/year. The other safeguard cases were China specific (TPSSM).

All these cases were initiated on very weak grounds, i.e. there was neither a surge of imports (in some cases imports even decreased) nor solid evidence of injury and causality. The Commission has strongly opposed such improper use of the safeguard instrument and multiplied its efforts by intervening at all possible technical and political levels. As a result, and against the recommendation of the investigating authorities, all the cases with an important economic interest for the EU were terminated without imposition of measures, by the end of 2009.

b) Cold rolled stainless steel: imposition of definitive duties

Definitive AD duties were imposed in November 2009. The Commission assisted the EU cooperating exporters to ensure that their rights of defence were respected.

3. Turkey

3.1. Overall trends

Even though Turkey has initiated only 1 new investigation and imposed measures in only 1 case (as compared to respectively 3 and 4 in 2008), it is still high on the list of countries having measures against the EU with 12 measures in force (of which 10 safeguards). In addition, it should be noted that Turkey has decided to extend antidumping measures on PVC for an additional five years and to maintain safeguard measures on 4 products ( footwear, steam irons, vacuum cleaners and motorcycles ) for an additional period of 3 years. Turkey thus remains the biggest user of the safeguard instrument in the world with 10 measures in force.

3.2. Main cases

a) Polyvinylchloride: continuation of AD measures

An expiry review was concluded in June 2009 with the continuation of AD measures for Germany, Italy and Romania. Following the findings of this investigation, the Commission assisted and supported the EU cooperating companies in order to ensure that the measures were not increased, despite the fact that higher dumping margins were established. The measures for Greece, Hungary, Netherlands and Finland have expired on 5 February 2008 and were not subject to the review.

b) Matches: imposition of definitive safeguard measures

This investigation was initiated in May 2009. Provisional measures were imposed in June 2009 and definitive measures, in form of a minimum import price, were imposed in December 2009 for 3 years. Thanks to the Commission's interventions coordinated with the EU industry, the vast majority of EU exports are not affected by this measure.

c) Various textiles: termination of the AD proceeding

The case was of high economic interest, and the Commission actively supported the Italian industry and contested, amongst others, the unclear product scope in this case. The investigation was terminated without measures in June 2009 due to a lack of representativeness of the domestic industry.

d) Footwear, steam irons, motorcycles and vacuum cleaners: extension of safeguard measures

Turkey opened review investigations in May/June 2009 in order to examine whether or not to extend the safeguard measures imposed 4 years ago. In order to fill the time gap between the expiry of the original measures and the conclusion of the investigations, Turkey imposed provisional measures on all products in August 2009. In December 2009, following a delayed conclusion of the investigations, it was proposed to extend measures concerning footwear, steam irons, motorcycles and vacuum cleaners, but not concerning salt. The Commission has strongly opposed the extension of any of these measures due to formal flaws and insufficient legal justification. The Commission has raised these cases on various occasions at technical and political level. Although the impact of these measures is not very important for the EU, and the EU exports seem not to have been significantly harmed by these measures, it is generally difficult to accept that measures are extended beyond a 3 year period.

4. China

4.1. Overall trends

After the increased use of trade defence measures by China in 2008 compared to the previous years, this trend unfortunately continued in 2009. In particular, China initiated 2 new AD investigations and one expiry review. China also imposed definitive AD duties in 2 of the investigations initiated in 2008 and provisional measures in 2 other investigations. Finally China also concluded a sunset review initiated in 2008 by prolonging the AD duties imposed for 5 years.

This brings the total number of TDI measures in force against EU exports to 12 definitive AD measures (plus 2 provisional AD measures).

4.2. Main cases

a) Polyamide 6: imposition of provisional AD measures

The investigation was initiated at the end of April 2009. This investigation affects about € 100 million of EU exports per year. Interestingly, the investigation concerns a chemical product in the same production chain as the other two investigations, where definitive measures have been imposed (see below). The Chinese authorities were very quick to impose provisional measures in October 2009.

b) X-ray security scanning equipment: initiation of AD investigation

The investigation was initiated in October 2009. The trade at stake in this case amounts to around €20 million. Remarkably, this case concerns a product similar to the product subject to an AD investigation initiated by the EU against China, i.e. cargo scanning equipment. The complainant is the same producer affected by the EU investigation, whereas the EU exporter affected in the Chinese case is the complainant in the EU defensive case. The producer has been fully cooperating in the investigation. The Commission has raised several issues, such as poor transparency standards and weaknesses in the injury and causal link analysis as well as in the public interest element. The Commission will continue to closely monitor this proceeding to make sure that China fully respects its WTO obligations.

c) Polyamide 6,6: imposition of definitive AD measures

The investigation was initiated in 2008 and China imposed definitive measures against imports of polyamide 6,6 from France, Italy, and the UK in October 2009.

d) Adipic acid: imposition of definitive AD measures

The investigation was initiated in November 2008 and definitive measures were imposed in November 2009 against imports from the EU. With the imposition of provisional measures on polyamide 6 (see above), three chemical products in the same chain are now subject to substantial AD duties from China.

e) Certain iron or steel fasteners: imposition of provisional measures

The investigation was initiated in December 2008 shortly before the imposition of definitive AD duties in the defensive AD proceeding by the EU against Chinese fasteners in January 2009. Provisional measures were imposed in December 2009. Unfortunately the disclosure problems and the weak preliminary analysis on the existence of dumping and injury already raised by the Commission at the initiation of the proceeding have not been addressed by the Chinese authorities yet. The Commission will continue to insist that the Chinese authorities improve transparency in this proceeding and address the flaws raised with regard to the dumping and the injury analyses in full compliance with WTO rules. The Commission will resort to the most appropriate legal remedies should the failure to address these issues by the Chinese authorities persist.

5. Latin America

5.1. Overall trends

The TDI activity in 2009 was somewhat quieter in Latin America than in previous years. However, there are still causes of concern and there were still certain investigations initiated and measures imposed that did not meet the relevant criteria, in particular regarding injury and causality. The Commission continued to intervene and raise these issues at all possible levels. In addition, one completely new user appeared on the scene, the Dominican Republic, who initiated 3 safeguard investigations in 2009, however with no significant impact on EU exports.

Among the important users of the instruments, Brazil is in fourth position with 11 measures in force (just behind Turkey and China). In 2009, Brazil imposed 2 definitive AD measures, concerning imports of viscose yarn and viscose fibre from Austria and initiated 1 safeguard investigation concerning desiccated coconuts.

5.2. Main cases

1.1.1. a) Argentina: laminated flooring and petrol extraction pumps

Argentina initiated an AD investigation against imports of laminated flooring from Germany. The domestic industry however stopped production of the product concerned after the initiation and withdrew its complaint in October 2009. The investigation was officially terminated in February 2010.

In the petrol extraction pumps case, (initiated in May 2008 against Romania), definitive AD measures were imposed in November 2009 and the undertaking offered by the Romanian exporter concerned was accepted.

b) Brazil: viscose fibres and viscose yarn

Definitive AD measures concerning imports of viscose fibres from Austria have been imposed in April 2009 (initiation in March 2008, imposition of provisional measures in October 2008). Following the imposition of provisional measures based on 'best facts available' despite full cooperation of the industry, the Commission has made several strong interventions opposing this WTO incompatible methodology. As a result definitive measures were based on the exporter's data and the duty calculated on that basis reflected the exporter's situation.

Definitive AD measures concerning imports of viscose yarn from Austria have been imposed in December 2009 (initiated in August 2008). The Austrian exporter has cooperated, with the assistance of the Commission. Again the main issues in this case were the lack of an objective analysis of injury and causality. Despite the industry's and the Commission's efforts, definitive measures were imposed although the criteria concerning injury and causality were very weak.

c) Mexico: carbon steel tubes and bovine meat

Provisional AD measures concerning imports of carbon steel tubes from the UK were imposed in May 2009 (initiated in July 2008). The main issues in this case were the outdated investigation period and the weak analysis regarding tendering. Despite several interventions by the exporter concerned and the Commission, definitive AD measures were imposed in January 2010.

An expiry review (the third in a row) concerning the CVD measures on bovine meat from the EU, was initiated in June 2009. The main issue in this case is the change in the subsidy schemes since the previous review, and in particular the entering into force of the single payment scheme ('SPS'). The Commission replied to the questionnaire and provided ample information concerning this change and the SPS itself, highlighting the WTO compatibility of the new scheme. Additional information was submitted in March 2010. The Commission is closely following the developments in this case especially because of its systemic importance.

d) Peru: olive oil

Peru has initiated a new CVD investigation concerning olive oil from Spain and Italy, in July 2009, i.e. about one year after the expiry of the previous measures. Besides the significant weaknesses in this case, such as outdated and partial information concerning injury and causality, the single payment scheme is also an issue. The Commission and exporters (mainly from Spain) and the Spanish administration are fully cooperating in the investigation, in order to show that the SPS is not a countervailable subsidy. Additional information was submitted in February 2010 and a decision is expected for April 2010. The Commission is closely following this case because of its systemic importance.

e) Dominican Republic: glass bottles and flasks, toilet paper, polypropylene bags

The Dominican Republic has never used TDI instruments before these three safeguard investigations in 2009, and it seems that this sudden start up of activity merits attention.

The safeguard investigation concerning glass bottles and flasks was initiated in April 2009. Due to strong opposition of local consumers and interventions by the Commission the investigation has been terminated in February 2010 without the imposition of measures. The safeguard cases concerning toilet paper and polypropylene bags were initiated in October 2009 and December 2009 respectively. However, the economic interest in these two cases is negligible and no reaction from industry was received.

6. Russia and Ukraine

6.1. Overall trends

Russia and Ukraine are both regular users of the instruments. At the end of 2009, Ukraine had 9 measures in force (of which 6 safeguards) and Russia had 5 measures in force (of which 4 safeguards). Both countries have initiated 2 new safeguard investigations in 2009 and have adopted 2 safeguard measures.

6.2. Main cases by country

a) Russia: various activated carbon

A new safeguard investigation concerning imports of activated carbon was initiated in November 2009. It is evident in this case that the use of a country specific instrument such as anti-dumping would have been more appropriate. The Commission will further monitor the developments in this case and support the industry.

b) Russia: stainless steel pipes and flatware from corrosion-proof steel

Definitive safeguard measures were imposed on imports of stainless steel pipes . The Commission has raised a number of weaknesses in this case, in particular concerning the much too broad product scope. Definitive safeguard measures were also imposed on flatware. The Commission, in coordination with the industry, insisted on (and obtained) a form of measure with a lower impact on the EU imports.

c) Russia: grain-harvesting combines

In the case of grain-harvesting combines, a temporary non-application of safeguard measures was decided, but customs duties have been increased instead. The Commission and the EU industry have been very active in this case given the high economic interest (110 million € in 2007). At the end of 2009, the application of increased import duties was extended by 9 months, and thus the safeguard measures remain suspended for the time being. The Commission will closely monitor this case to ensure that no double protection can take place.

d) Russia: large-diameter pipes

Russia decided in December 2009 to extend the safeguard measure against imports of large-diameter pipes beyond its initial period of imposition. The Commission, in coordination with the EU industry, voiced significant concerns against this prolongation. As a result, the extension of measures, originally proposed for a period of 3 years, is applied for only 1 year.

e) Ukraine: float glass, liquid chlorine, syringes and, matches

Ukraine initiated two safeguard investigations in 2009: while the safeguard investigation concerning liquid chlorine has been concluded in December 2009 without the imposition of measures, in the investigation concerning imports of float glass provisional measures were imposed in November 2009 for a period of 200 days. In the latter case, the main issues are the weak and unconvincing causal relationship between the claimed injury and the imports, which the Commission and the industry have raised on several occasions.

Definitive safeguard measures on matches and definitive AD measures on syringes from Spain, UK and Germany were imposed in November 2009.

7. Croatia

In 2009, Croatia has made use of a trade defence instrument for the first time and applied a provisional safeguard measure on imports of c heese and cheese supplements . Given the serious flaws identified in this proceeding, the Commission has intensively intervened. These interventions were successful and product types representing 80% of the EU exports were exempted from the measure, which remained in force for half a year only.

8. Kazakhstan

In 2009, Kazakhstan had 5 on-going safeguard investigations, out of which three were of interest for the EU industry. Given the fact that Kazakhstan exclusively uses the safeguard instrument and provides very scarce or no information on the cases, the Commission monitored all 5 proceedings, and was particularly active in two: glass and confectionary. A Commission intervention was also requested by the EU industry in the asphalt case in view of the importance of the market for the future. Kazakhstan has concluded the investigations concerning confectionary and asphalt in the second semester of 2009, but has neither disclosed findings despite several formal requests by the Commission, nor has it adopted the final decisions.

9. Israel

Israel, a rare user of TDI in the past, has initiated 5 new investigations in 2009: 4 AD investigations concerning recycled containerboards, uncoated wood free printing paper, bituminous membranes and stretch wrap , and one safeguard investigation concerning steel rebars . Provisional AD measures were imposed on imports of stretch wrap and recycled containerboards, and provisional safeguard measures on imports of steel rebars. The very low standards applied in all of these proceedings and the persistence of major flaws such as the lack of transparency, an unreliable injury analysis and an incomplete causality analysis have been raised by Commission in written submissions in the framework of the investigations and during a bilateral meeting with the TDI authorities in Tel Aviv in December 2009. These interventions resulted in the suspension of the safeguard measures against re-bars, and the Commission is closely monitoring the development in the AD cases for which results are imminent.

10. Australia

In 2009 Australia's trade defence system has undergone a wide reform including the publication of a new dumping and subsidy manual, and a public inquiry into Australia's anti-dumping and countervailing system.

Australia's TDI activity regarding the EU has been relatively stable over the past years with one new AD investigation opened and concluded in 2009 and a total of five measures in force. The new AD measure concerns imports of geosynthetic clayliners from Germany. The Commission and the German exporter concerned intervened several times in this case in particular raising the very weak injury and causality analysis. Nevertheless provisional and definitive measures were imposed. The German exporter asked for a judicial review and the Commission supported him in this action.

11. Canada

The total number of measures against the EU decreased from 6 to 4 in 2009. In February 2010, Canada initiated an expiry review (the third in a row) concerning imports of refined sugar from the EU. The case is of systemic importance, since it involves the single payment scheme and the Commission is closely monitoring this case and intervenes as appropriate.

12. New Zealand

No new investigation has been initiated by New Zealand against the EU in 2009. In October 2009 the Commission obtained the termination of the expiry review concerning countervailing measures against imports of canned peaches from the EU initiated in December 2008.

13. Jordan

No new trade defence action was initiated by Jordan in 2009.

In the ceramic tiles safeguard investigation (initiated in November 2008) final findings were disclosed in July 2009. At the Commission's request high quality products have been excluded from the product scope which reduced the potential negative impact for EU exporters. The Commission nevertheless continues to question the Jordanian unconvincing conclusions and has raised its concerns in bilateral meetings at high level. The decision of the Jordanian Government is pending. As mentioned in previous reports, this is the third investigation against ceramic tiles initiated by Jordan in 6 years. The previous proceeding had been initiated and terminated in 2007 following a private "gentlemen's agreement" resulting in a tax on imports that was subsequently declared illegal by a local court.

14. Gulf Countries

In November 2009 the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf has, for the first time, initiated two safeguard investigations concerning imports of uncoated paper and paperboard in rolls and sheets and steel angles, channels and beams . The main issues in these cases are the lack of transparency due to the abusive use of confidentiality, the lack of objectivity in the choice of the periods of investigation which has a distorting effect on the injury analysis, and the weak causal link analysis. The Commission will continue to closely monitor these investigations in coordination with the EU industry concerned.
