ANTI-DUMPING AGREEMENT
Paper Submitted by the European Community
The following communication, dated 15 February 2002, has been received from the
Permanent Delegation of the European Commission.
_______________
The European Communities submit the following questions concerning certain issues
contained in the submissions made by Canada (G/ADP/W/421), and Indonesia (G/ADP/W/422).  It
should be recalled that these questions are posed only for reasons of clarification and do not prejudice
the EC's position on the substance of the submissions.
Submission by Canada (G/ADP/W/421)
The Committee should discuss the objectives of regular reports and determine the statistics to
meet those objectives.  The Committee should be provided the opportunity to make any notations to
the statistics that it feels appropriate in order to identify anomalous situations and include proper
explanations.
Question by the EC:
14. Could Canada please give examples of the kind of "notations" the Committee would
want to make?
A database should be made containing the information gathered through Members' semi-
annual reports of anti-dumping activity available through the WTO world wide web site.
Question by the EC:
15. Could Canada please expand on its proposal and explain whether the proposed database
would only contain the semi-annual reports provided by each Member or also the individual
regulations or decisions attached to it?
Submission by Indonesia (G/ADP/W/422)
The Committee should play a more active role in responding to concerns of Members.G/ADP/W/423
