Questions Posed by KOREA
Regarding the Notification of ARGENTINA1
The following communication, dated 13 April 2000, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Korea.
__________
Article 11.2 of the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement stipulates that the authorities shall review
"the need for the continued imposition of the duties", upon request by any interested party.  On the
other hand, Article 6 of Resolution No. 826 (contained in document G/ADP/N/1/ARG/1/Suppl.4-
G/SCM/N/1/ARG/1/Suppl.4) seems to envision a revi ew aimed at assessing the adequateness of the
rate of an existing anti-dumping duty in offsetting dumping and at adjusting, if necessary, the rate, as
well as a review of whether the continued imposition of the measure would be necessary to counteract
dumping.  Is this understanding correct?  In cases where the rate of the existing anti-dumping duty is
found, as a result of such a review, to be insufficient to offset the dumping, are Argentina's pertinentauthorities required under pertinent laws and regulations to increase the rate?  How does Argentina
relate this provision of Resolution No. 826 with Article 11.2 of the A-D Agreement?
