Book excerpt: The eight major sections in this volume focus on the increasing use of anti-dumping measures in a wide range of sectors by both developed and developing countries. In recent years, tariff reforms, the use of the provision in intra-developing country trade, and analysis of anti-dumping cases lodged at the WTO dispute settlement body indicate, the guide explains, a policy substitution to protect domestic industries.

Download or read book World Trade Organization Agreement on Anti dumping written by K. D. Raju and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WTO Secretariat reports that during the period from 1995 to June 30, 2007 WTO members initiated 3097 anti-dumping investigations. Of these, 474 were put forward by India, which made it the largest user of this measure among WTO Members. The traditional argument of developing countries was that loopholes or absence of clear definitions in the anti-dumping rules have increased the possibility of abuses and discretionary practices against them. Now, many developing countries like India have become frequent users of this measure. For a better understanding of the various provisions of the WTO's Anti-dumping Agreement (ADA) a critical investigation of the resulting jurisprudence is a necessity. To that end, this timely work has a fivefold aim: and• To explore the jurisprudence that has emerged around the anti-dumping regime and how it affected developing countries; and• To assess how effectively and to what extent the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) is able to analyze the violations of ADA provisions; and• To examine domestic compliance with DSB decisions; and• To study the Indian cases which come before the nation's Customs, Excise andamp; Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, various High Courts and the Supreme Court of India; and and• To offer recommendations for the improvement of the anti-dumping regime from a developing country perspective.

Download or read book The Law and Economics of Contingent Protection in the WTO written by Petros C. Mavroidis and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All three parts [of the book] are without question extremely detailed and thorough treatises of the three different instruments of contingent protection. The case law of the DSB as well as policy proposals put forward in the Doha Round are referred to and analysed extensively. Every part of the book is an excellent and very thoughtful work on the respective instrument and will be helpful for everyone working in the field. Christoph Herrmann, Common Market Law Review Although the legal landscape is littered with literature about the WTO, antidumping, safeguards, subsidies and countervailing measures, the missing piece has been a comprehensive text tying together the law and economics of these topics. Mavroidis, Messerlin and Wauters fill this gap. The authors form an unparalleled triumvirate who successfully draw on their complementary legal-economic experiences from policymaking, practitioner expertise and academic scholarship to comprehensively examine contingent protection. In a single book, they manage to explain the economics to the lawyers, the law to the economists, and the increasing importance of contingent protection policies to everyone. Chad P. Bown, Brandeis University, US The new book by Petros Mavroidis, Patrick Messerlin and Jasper Wauters, The Law and Economics of Contingent Protection in the WTO, fills a gap in the international trade literature by providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary (law and economics) treatment of three of the most arcane and least well-understood trade protection regimes permitted under the GATT/WTO, i.e., anti-dumping, countervailing duties, and safeguards. The authors expertly weave together both a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the complex legal rules and case law with an economic critique of the law governing each of these three regimes. The book is a tour de force and will become the standard reference work for scholars, policy makers, and practitioners specializing in these areas. Michael Trebilcock, University of Toronto, Canada Trade barriers that are contingent on the existence of specific conditions dumping by, or subsidization of, exporters, and injury of domestic firms have historically been used intensively by many OECD countries and are now increasingly applied by developing countries. This volume provides an excellent discussion and accessible analysis of WTO rules on contingent protection and the rapidly expanding case law. The authors have done a major service to both legal practitioners and trade policy analysts with an interest in this area. Bernard Hoekman, The World Bank, US In this important book, three of the leading authors in the field of international economic law discuss the law and economics of the three most frequently used contingent protection instruments: anti-dumping, countervailing measures, and safeguards. When discussing countervailing measures, the authors also discuss legal challenges against prohibited and/or actionable subsidies. The authors choice is mandated by the fact that the effects of a subsidy cannot always be confined to the market of the WTO Member wishing to react against it. Assuming there are effects outside its market, an injured WTO Member can challenge the scheme as such before a WTO Panel. Taking the three agreements for granted as a starting point, the book provides comprehensive discussion of both the original contracts, and the case law that has substantially contributed to the understanding of these agreements. The agreements discussed by the authors provide generally worded disciplines on Members and leave a lot of discretion to the investigating authorities of such Members. A great number of the many questions that arise in the course of a domestic trade remedies investigation are not explicitly addressed in these agreements. In such a situation, the authors highlight the important role that the judge has to play. Much like domestic investigating authorities adopt a line which is either more liberal

Download or read book Circumvention and Anti circumvention Measures written by Yanning Yu and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unfair trade practice of dumping has been regulated for many years. Dumping distorts competition by selling exports at exceedingly low prices in foreign markets. Over the years, anti-dumping measures designed to counter dumping through the imposition of duties have become the most effective and popular way employed to protect domestic industries under threat. The 1980s, however, ushered in a counter measure: circumvention. As a means of avoiding anti-dumping duties, circumvention threatens the effectiveness of the anti-dumping system by undermining the protection provided for domestic industries. In response, anti-circumvention measures have been designed and implemented to combat those activities. This is the first book to offer a detailed analysis of this significant issue in anti-dumping practice.

Download or read book Anti Dumping and Countervailing Measures written by R K Gupta and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1996 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increased globalization of markets, lowering of customs tariffs, and removal of nontariff barriers, domestic industries need to protect themselves from dumped imports while exporters need to safeguard their interests against the unduly protective measures of importing countries. R. K. Gupta's comprehensive book, Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Measures, provides basic information concerning the legal provisions and the procedures for initiating or contesting investigations against dumping or subsidized imports. Of special note in the text are the author's discussion of the salient features of GATT, details of all anti-dumping cases investigated in India in recent times, and procedures followed by India's major trading partners, namely the United States and the European Community. Likely India's first complete reference on this subject, this valuable text will be of interest to exporters, importers, manufacturers, policy planners, lawyers and government officials dealing with anti-dumping cases, and all those involved in international trade and international business law.

Download or read book Anti dumping and Countervailing Action written by Philip Bentley and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ''. . . a fine attempt to shed light on the legal rules that make antidumping and countervailing duty so controversial. Bentley, and experienced trade lawyer, and Silberston, a long-time professor of economics at Imperial College-London, team up to translate arcane and often incomprehensible legal rules into common sense language. Their book not a "how to" manual of how cases proceed, but rather a nontechnical review of many obscure but crucial concepts. The book''s appeal is considerably widened by their frequent discussion on whether the rules make economic sense. . . . the approach taken in the book enlightens policymakers, practitioners, and academics on the perverse nature of antidumping and countervailing duty laws. . . . a fine addition to the bookshelf of any scholar interested in studying trade agreements and administered protection.'' Thomas J. Prusa, Journal of Economic Literature ''Philip Bentley and Aubrey Silberston provide a balanced treatment of a complex area of trade law taking action against dumped or subsidized exports. They document in an accessible manner the many problems associated with current rules and practice and provide a practical set of recommendations to improve the administration of trade law in these areas.'' Bernard Hoekman, Development Research Group, The World Bank ''Written by a lawyer and an economist, both of whom have long experience and deep knowledge equally of theory and practice, this book offers a unique, objective and dispassionate analysis of anti-dumping and countervailing action from various aspects, not only what it is and how it is applied but also its problems and ambiguities not least in a globalised and interdependent world where it is easy to do as much damage to one''s own producers and consumers as to the apparent transgressor. Finally, some thoughts are offered as to what might be done to introduce greater rigour and discipline and to resolve the principal defects. A comprehensive guide to and review of this area of trade policy has long been needed; here it is. Trade policy practitioners, lawyers, students, and above all the negotiators should read it. Bentley and Silberston will be the standard work for some time to come.'' Anthony Hutton, formerly Director-General for Trade Policy in the Department of Trade and Industry, London, UK ''With their book Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Action Philip Bentley and Aubrey Silberston provide an eminent addition to the legal and economic literature on the subject of the appropriate use of anti-dumping and countervailing duties. Rather than offering a nuts and bolts how to book, the authors deliver a succinct and relatively non-technical overview of substantive concepts and problems inherent in the use of these commercial defence instruments that will appeal to experts and non-experts alike. While the book focuses on the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement and its implementation in the EU and the United States, it offers valuable lessons for administrators and practitioners in other user countries also. One may not agree with all elements of their analysis I, for one, would certainly not agree with their conclusion that pre-Uruguay Round zeroing made legal and economic sense but their inter-disciplinary approach is thought-provoking and refreshing as well as timely in the middle of the EU reflection on the use of the anti-dumping instrument that EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson has launched.'' Edwin Vermulst, partner Vermulst, Verhaeghe & Graafsma, Brussels, Belgium; editor Journal of World Trade and Global Trade and Customs Journal; author of the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement (OUP 2006) ''This book is an excellent study in depth of the practical problems that arise for regulatory authorities in seeking to apply the international rules, as laid down in the various WTO agreements, when requests for anti-dumping or countervailing measures have been received from industry. It offers not only an analysis of the difficult choices awaiting the practitioner but also a rigorous examination of the economic sense, if any, behind the practices that have evolved in recent years. On several occasions this sense is found to be wanting, and the authors make some thought provoking points and recommendations for change. Highly recommended for students and practitioners alike.'' Roderick Abbott, former deputy Director General at DG Trade in the EC Commission, and later deputy DG at the WTO This book, written by a lawyer and an economist both of whom have worked extensively in the field of international trade, offers a challenging and thought-provoking consideration of actions against dumping and export subsidies. Unlike many books in the field which simply set out the relevant international agreements and discuss their interpretation by various regulatory authorities, this book identifies numerous contradictions found in existing law and practice. Many of which, the authors argue, defy economic as well as legal logic. In light of their analysis, the authors propose a number of changes to current law and practice. Whilst they are under no illusion of the likelihood that such changes will occur in the relevant agreements in the near future, it is hoped that through compelling argument they can not only contribute to future debate, but also shape the way these issues are treated in practice. Providing a critical analysis of the commonly used trade measures against dumping and export subsidies, Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Action will be of international interest, especially to regulatory authorities, trade lawyers, trade economists and scholars and students in business school

Download or read book Anti dumping Laws and Practices of the New Users written by Junji Nakagawa and published by Cameron May. This book was released on 2007 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more members of the WTO are using anti-dumping (AD) measures as an effective tool for protecting domestic industries facing competition with foreign products. In contrast to the 'big four' (US, EC, Canada and Australia), which have been using AD measures frequently since the GATT era, many of the new users established their AD regimes and began to use them after the establishment of the WTO. Why are there more and more new users? How are they applying AD measures? Do they comply with the rules of the WTO Anti- Dumping Agreement? What are their specific characteristics in the handling of AD cases? What should exporters and practitioners do to prepare for AD investigations by the new users? Based on extensive analyses of primary materials and hearings from practitioners and AD authorities, this book provides detailed and updated information to answer these questions on the following new users: China, Chinese Taipei, Korea, Thailand, India, South Africa, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Anti dumping Protection written by Patricia Wruuck and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with anti-dumping measures (AD) and investigates two questions: First, what country characteristics affect AD use and notably, do domestic political institutions have an effect? Second, (how) is the decision to impose a new AD measure affected by anticipation of trading partners’ potential retaliation? This book applies a strategic perspective to AD to address these questions, presenting a game-theoretic model together with an empirical test. The approach sheds light on the dynamics of interaction between trading partners and allows to capture selection processes which underpin the trade restrictions that can actually be observed. The book provides a fresh look on when and how trading powers apply antidumping measures, how this is shaped by strategic interaction and whether institutions do make a difference to the outcome. In a period in which the international trading system has to cope with numerous stresses such as an increased resort to administered protection largely by big emerging economies, this is a timely and important contribution. Dr. Klaus Günter Deutsch, Managing Director, Research, Economic and Industrial Policy, German Federation of Industries This book successfully integrates two research traditions in international politics – the traditional view that looks at domestic factors of anti-dumping policies and the strategic view that conditions the imposition of anti-dumping measures on the likely, retaliatory behavior of the trading partner. The result is an informative and constructive examination of anti-dumping protection and trade wars in the WTO. Prof. Dr. Thomas Bräuninger, Chair of Political Economy, University of Mannheim, Germany "The Political Economy of Anti-Dumping Protection - A Strategic Analysis" is a major contribution to the important and growing field international political economy. Starting with the “traditional” comparative institutional analysis, which focuses on the implications of democratic and non-democratic regimes for using anti-dumping measures in trade politics, the second part applies a strategic perspective on this type of sanctions uncovering the dynamic interactions between a challenging and challenged countries. For all those interested in understanding the logic of sanctions, the role of institutions, and in how to examine the implications of theoretical models for international political economy this book is a “must read". Prof. Dr. Thomas König, Chair of Political Science II, University of Mannheim, Germany.
