EGYPT - DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
 ON STEEL REBAR FROM TURKEY
Request for Consultations by Turkey
The following communication, dated 6 November 2000, from the Permanent Mission of
Turkey to the Permanent Mission of Egypt and to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is
circulated in accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU.
My authorities have instructed me to reques t consultations with the Government of Egypt
pursuant to Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of
Disputes, Article XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) and
Article 17.3 of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the GATT 1994 (the "Agreement")
with regard to the definitive anti-dumping measures imposed by Egypt on imports of concrete steel
reinforcing bar (rebar) from Turkey.
The Egyptian Ministry of Trade and Supply commenced an anti-dumping investigation with
respect to imports of rebar from Turkey in February 1999. The investigation was completed by the
same department, then within the Ministry of Economy and Foreign Trade, and the final report was
released on 21 October 1999. As a result of the investigation, anti-dumping duties were imposed,
ranging from 22.63-61.00 per cent ad valorem.
Turkey considers that Egypt made determinations of injury and dumping in that investigation
without a proper establishment of the facts and based on an evaluation of the facts that was neither
unbiased nor objective.
During the investigation of material injury or threat thereof and the causal link, Turkey
considers that Egypt acted inconsistently with Articles 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 6.1 and 6.2 of the Agreement.
During the investigation of sales at less than no rmal value, Turkey considers that Egypt violated
Article X:3 of the GATT 1994, as well as Articl es 2.2, 2.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8, and Annex II,
Paragraphs 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 and Annex I, Paragraph 7.
The Government of Turkey reserves its right to raise further factual claims and legal matters
during the course of consultations. We look forward to receiving your reply to the present request and
to fixing a mutually convenient date for consultations to be commenced in Ankara or in Cairo.
