FOREWORD

It is not easy to write about anti-dumping. To be absolutely frank, it is adull subject. This may partly explain why there are few practitionersacross the globe and even fewer scholars who care to write about it. Yet,nobody could deny that it is a remedy constantly used by WTOMembers. It is one of the most lively WTO agreements among privateactors who have been able to manage and master its disciplines.According to WTO data, from 1995 until June 2019, there had been5,833 anti-dumping investigations initiated by 107 WTO Members.

In the context of multilateral disciplines, anti-dumping has existedsince the beginning of the GATT. Through the years, its disciplines haveconstantly been evolving. Today, the Anti-Dumping Agreement is anessential pillar in the regulation of trade in goods. It is one of the fewWTO covered agreements of which the substantive provisions are notreplicated or further developed in other regional trade agreements(RTAs). Another indication of its value is that anti-dumping disputesrepresent 22 per cent of the total disputes brought under the WTOdispute settlement system. Thus, the interpretation of this agreement isof crucial importance for the WTO membership. No Member has thesole authorship or holds the only key to the interpretation of the Anti-Dumping Agreement. To the eyes of the WTO, the Anti-DumpingAgreement is an agreement that should be interpreted in accordancewith Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention. Nothing more,nothing less.

And here you are in front of an exceptional work. The first chapterprovides a background, presents the current status of the law, anddiscusses the relation with other WTO disciplines, with emphasis onother trade remedies, i.e. safeguards and subsidies. After that, the authorsembark on an expedition through each of the provisions of theAgreement. This journey is as much exhaustive as it is pleasant (for ananti-dumping geek, of course). But let’s be very clear. This is not merely acompilation or an index of past interpretations. The great value of this

work is that it explains, as opposed to describes, each of the provisions ofthe agreement through the prism of WTO/GATT acquis.

Anti-dumping is a subject that is tough to grapple with withoutparticipating in an actual proceeding. It is difficult to contextualise anddiscern the true meaning of each of its provisions without having beendirectly involved in the ‘trenches’, i.e. filling in a questionnaire, perform-ing a dumping calculation, assisting a client in a verification visit orpreparing a hearing with an investigating authority. As it happens withother disciplines, anti-dumping theory and practice are not always per-fectly synchronised. In fact, the multiple references to the practice ofWTO Members contained in this commentary constitute a significantvalue added which should be recognised and reveal the familiarity of theauthors with the actual anti-dumping practice as well as their significantexpertise in WTO dispute settlement.

I hope that the readers realise that the jurisprudence acutely explainedin this work is not written in stone. It needs to be improved and, in someinstances, fixed. A balance needs to be struck between the right of theMembership to chastise this unfair trade practice with the temptation ofusing it as a sledgehammer of protectionism. This is certainly a work thatwill not only significantly contribute to this debate but will also become amandatory reference for scholars and practitioners in this field.
