Questions Posed by CANADA
Regarding the Notification of THAILAND1
The following communication, dated 13 April 2000, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Canada.
__________
1. Section II, Article 15 of the Law, provides the methodology for the calculation of normal
values.  However, there is no provision which incorporates the requirements of footnotes 4 and 5 ofArticle 2.2.1 as well as Article 2.2.2 of the A-D Agreement.  How will the Thai authorities implement
these provisions of the Agreement?
2. Section II, Article 16 of the Law, provides the methodology for the calculation of normal
values for countries designated as non-market economies.  What are the factors examined by the Thai
authorities before proceeding under this Article?
3. Do the Thai authorities feel that Section II, Article 18 of the Law, provides enough legislative
authority to comply fully with the various elements of the fair comparison test as per Article 2.4 of the
A-D Agreement?  Will additional methodology be provided by regulation?
4. Section IV, Article 24 of the Law does not fully incorporate the requirements of the
A-D Agreement concerning the determination of injury when the domestic market is divided into two
or more markets.  How will the Thai authorities implement the requirements of Article 4.1(ii) of the
Agreement concerning the concentration of dumped imports into the isolated market and the injury to
all or almost all the production within such market?
5. Section V, Part I, Article 30 of the Law provides for the disclosure of the essential facts under
consideration before a final determination is made.  Will the Thai authorities also provide public
notice of the final determinations as required by Article 12.2.2 of the A-D Agreement?
6. In Section V, Part II, Article 34 of the Law, how are the Thai authorities applying the
provisions of Article 5.2 to ensure that a petition is complete and correct?
7. Concerning undertakings accepted under Section V, Part V of the Law, will a notice of
acceptance of an undertaking be issued as required by Article 12.2 of the A-D Agreement?
