Member States endorsed on 8 March 2004 a Commission proposal to introduce greater transparency, efficiency and predictability in the use of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy. Under the new rules, definitive anti-dumping or countervailing measures will be considered adopted unless a simple majority of EU Members States opposes the move. The EU will also introduce mandatory deadlines to complete review investigations which will lead to faster investigations and will also introduce clearer rules on enforcement of trade defence measures. On the eve of the EU's enlargement, these changes will make the use of trade defence instruments more efficient, workable and transparent for EU operators as well as third countries subject to trade defence cases in the EU. |
