WTO Reviews Anti Dumping Duty

THE WTO Committee on Anti Dumping Practices reviewed 30 semi-annual reports of anti-dumping actions taken during the second half of 2011.

Turkey expressed concern about the Indian anti-dumping measure on soda ash from Turkey, adding that such measures should not be used as disguised protectionism. Norway said that India's anti-dumping action on caustic soda from Norway was the first time India has initiated such an action against Norway. It maintained that Norwegian companies did not export caustic soda to India during the period under investigation. India said that its anti-dumping procedures were consistent with the WTO.
