The application of the antidumping instrument by WTO members is often
controversial because of the protectionist character of these measures
where inefficient industries are protected from foreign competition.
The legal framework within the WTO has loopholes that leave wide
discretion to the investigating authorities to determine that a
product is dumped, thereby emphasizing the protectionist nature of
antidumping. The use of antidumping becomes even more controversial
when WTO members use the antidumping tool beyond the legal scope of
WTO law. The questions raised in this book concern the EU dumping
determinations and their conformity with WTO law. This
thought-provoking work examines whether European Union legislation on
dumping, the practices adopted by the European Commission and the
Council, as well as the decisions by the EC courts are in conformity
with WTO law. The author's findings are particularly relevant given
the frequent use of antidumping measures by EU authorities, especially
as relates to Asian countries, and he carefully documents areas where
the EU infringes WTO law.
