Abstract
It has often been observed that anti-dumping actions have risen rapidly in number since the conclusion of the Uruguay Round negotiations. The WTO (and before it the GATT) Committee on Antidumping produces semi-annual reports which give data on the number of anti-dumping investigations and measures adopted by members of the organisation. Until the mid-1980s only the United States, Australia, New Zealand and countries that are now members of the EU took anti-dumping action regularly. In 1990 only nine members were reported as taking anti-dumping action during the year. The WTO reported that 27 members had taken anti-dumping actions in the six-month period January 1-June 30, 2002.1 The main new users have been Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, India and Korea.
I would like to acknowledge the helpful suggestions made by Mary Amiti, Donald MacLaren, Keith Maskus, Michael Plummer and Jose Tavares on an earlier draft.
World Trade Organization, REPORT (2003) OF THE COMMITTEE ON ANTI-DUMPING PRACTICES, G/L/653 (October 28, 2003), (“2003 Report”) ¶10. The EU is counted as only one member in this statistic.
