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 -30 June 1981 and 1 -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 ) 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. ANNEX Summary of Anti-Dumping Actions
