RESTRICTEDC/W/363 GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 1 June 1981 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution COUNCIL 11 June 1981 GENEVA (1979) PROTOCOL TO THE GATT AND PROTOCOL SUPPLEMENTARY TO THE GENEVA (1979) PROTOCOL TO THE GATT Extension of Time-Limit for the Acceptance of the Protocols Draft Decision The final date for acceptance stipulated in the Geneva (1979) Protocol and in the Supplementary Protocol was 30 June 1980. The Council on 18 June 1980 decided to extend the time-limit for the acceptance of the Protocols until 31 December 1980 (C/M/141), andon 24 November 1980, the CONTRACTING PARTIES decided to-further extend the time-Limit until 30 June 1981 (L/5078). It has now become clear that some contracting parties which have schedules annexed to the Geneva (1979) Protocol and to the Supplementary Protocol will not be able to accept these Protocols before the expiry of the extended time-limit. The following draft decision extending further the time-limit for acceptance of the Protocols is therefore proposed for consideration by the Council: "Considering that the Geneva (1979) Protocol to the GATT and the Protocol Supplementary to.the Geneva (1979) Protocol to the GATT have not yet been accepted by all contracting parties which have schedules of tariff concessions annexed to these Protocols., "Considering the established GATT practice according to which the CONTRACTING PARTIES or the Council, under such circumstances have authority to decide on an extension of the time-limit for the acceptance of such Protocols and other instruments of a similar nature in case of compelling need, "Recalling that the Council on 24 November 1980 decided to extend the time-limit for the acceptance of the Protocols until 30 June 1981, "The CONTRACTING PARTIES "Decide to extend further.the time-Limit for acceptance of the said Protocols until 31 December 1981, and "Urge the contracting parties which have schedules annexed to the said Protocols-and have not yet accepted them to make every effort to do so in the near future.".

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
RESTRICTED ADP/W/42/Add.l GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 25 October 1982 TARIFFS AND TRADE Special Distribution *• See bound volume for :.:.^ Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices for mÉàÊÙkat+d to this document. BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE OPERATION OF THE AGREEMENT Note by the Secretariat Addendum Attached' is the Summary of Anti-Dumping Actions taken within the period 1 July 1980-30 June 1981 and 1 July 1981-30 June 1982. The late submission of several semi-annual reports and the lack of more detailed information made impossible more comprehensive analysis of the developments in this field. However some preliminary conclusions can be drawn. 1. There has been some increase in the number of anti-dumping actions in 1981/1982 as compared with 1980/1981: (a) Initiations: 1980/1981 - 71 (7)1 1981/1982 - 156 (19) (b) Provisional measures: 1980/1981 - 39 (2) 1981/1982 - 41 (8) (c) Definite duties: 1980/1981 - 24 (-) 1981/1982 - 60 (6) (d) Price undertakings: 1980/1981 - 11 (1) 1981/1982 - 18 (1) 2. Actions J:aken by the three most active Parties (Canada, EEC and the United States ) in the anti-dumping field affect (at least in the quantitative sense) mainly other developed Parties. It does not seem that this conclusion would be modified if the analysis was completed by inclusion of cases which were dismissed or terminated by a negative finding in the course of an investigation. Number in brackets indicate actions affecting developing countries. 2 Australia has not been included in this analysis because insufficient information was available.
