The Appellate Body of the WTO found the United States in breach of its WTO obligations for using 'zeroing' when calculating margins of dumping, April 2006. 'Zeroing' is a calculation methodology which consists of ignoring cases of 'negative' dumping, i.e. where export price exceeds normal value and therefore results in an artificial increase of the dumping liability of EU exporters. This decision upholds the earlier criticism of zeroing by the WTO in 2001.
