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that  such  reviews  have  "superseded"  the  challenged  measure  and  can  only  be  subject  to 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 

EN 

2 

   EN 

 
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  

EN

   EN 

 
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 
lack  of 
investigation  was 
representativeness of the domestic industry.  

terminated  without  measures 

in  June  2009  due

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 

EN 

4 

   EN 

 
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.  

EN 

5 

   EN 

 
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 

EN 

6 

   EN 

 
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.

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  cheese  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.

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.

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.
