Questions Posed by TURKEY
Regarding the Notification of PANAMA1
The following communication, dated 5 October 1998, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Turkey.
_______________
Q1. Referring to Article 75.2 of Law No. 29 of 1 February 1996, could you please clarify how the
Panamanian authorities determine whether the price of the identical or similar product when exported
to a third country is representative or not?  Could you please elaborate more on the "representative
price" as stated in the second paragraph of Article 75.2 of the cited law?
Q2. As regards Article 89 of Law No. 29 of 1 February 1996, could the Panamanian authorities
explain whether the amendment of the final resolution to extend the existing measure to the products
coming from a third country takes place after an investigation has been conducted on the issue ofevasion or is this purely an administrative decision that does not necessarily follow an investigation?
If an investigation is needed before the amendment of the final resolution, is it conducted on an
expedited basis?
