EU law and practice on:
• Anti-dumping and anti-subsidy (countervailing) measures
• Safeguard measures (including the special measures on Chinese exports)
• The Trade Barriers Regulation
These topics cover all the instruments that the EU refers to as ‘trade defence measures’. Anti-dumping remains the most important topic, but countervailing measures are now a regularly-used weapon in the EU’s trade armoury. Furthermore, with the problems accompanying the liberalization of trade with China, safeguard measures, in particular the special measures permitted under China’s WTO accession protocol, remain potentially important. The jurisdiction and procedures, in so far as they relate to trade defence, are fully explained.
The main concern of the publication is EU law, but there are frequent references to the relevant rules of WTO law. As established in the Nakajima ruling of the European Court of Justice, these rules have direct implications for the interpretation of EU law.
Effects of the credit crisis
The credit crisis and its consequences have increased the vulnerability of EU firms to overseas competitors, and at the same time have tempted those competitors to export their goods at unfair prices. In these circumstances EU industries are looking with heightened interest at the protection from unfair import competition that can be provided by anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings.Capturing developments
Decisions in individual trade defence investigations often contain significant new applications of the rules. Furthermore, such decisions are not infrequently appealed to the European Courts, leading to authoritative interpretations of the texts. EU Anti-Dumping and Trade Defence Law and Practice takes account of these developments, along with periodic amendments to the rules, merging them into the text so as to provide an account of the subject that is comprehensive, straightforward and up-to-date. Precise citations enable the reader to find exactly where among many hundreds of decisions and court reports a point has been established.
User friendly
Three updates a year ensure that the contents are right up-to-date. In addition, a rapid production and distribution timetable enables us to dispatch these updates to subscribers within a few days of decisions being published.
Materials
In addition to the analysis of the rules there are many pages of supporting material including tables of cases and decisions, and important texts. These include consolidated versions of the basic EU legistative measures, as well as EU Commission advisory notices. Access to the relevant EU online databases is explained, and in many cases there are direct links to the texts that are cited.
