Questions to India Regarding Submitted Paper G/ADP/AHG/W/128
• In paragraph 5, India mentions the possibility that the criteria of “… where they affect the
essential interests of developing country members” might be determined on the basis ofobjective standards.  What objective standards would India propose be used to make this
determination and which country would make the determination?
• In paragraph 9, India suggests that a duty less than the full margin of dumping be mandatory
with respect to imports from developing country members, and that the “margin of injury” becalculated in addition to the margin of dumpi ng. How would India propose that the “injury
margin” be calculated?
Questions to Indonesia Regarding Submitted Paper G/ADP/AHG/W/126
• Paragraph 7.2 of document WT/MIN(01)/17:  How does Indonesia envisage making  its
proposal regarding mandatory lesser duty and undertakings operational?  Would both an
undertaking and a lesser duty be mandatory in each case involving imports from developingcountry members?  If so, how does Indonesia envisage this being applied by the investigating
authorities?
• The second paragraph of the section dealing with Paragraph 7.3 of document WT/MIN(01)/17
refers to the termination of an investigation when the volume of imports is negligible.  Is
Indonesia proposing that the issue referred to  the Committee be expanded to cover negligible
imports as well as de minimis  dumping margins?
• Paragraph 7.3 of document WT/MIN(01)/17 suggests that the investigation period be used
when determining whether the volume of imports from a country is negligible, but it isunclear as to which investigation period, the dumping investigation period or the injury
investigation period.  Could Indonesia please clarify that point?G/ADP/AHG/W/130

Questions to Brazil Regarding Submitted Paper G/ADP/AHG/W/127
Article 15:
• In its paper, Brazil proposes that, “… investigating authorities shall take the initiative to
explore such constructive measures before the imposition of the preliminary duties”.  With
respect to price undertakings, how would this proposal be reconciled with Article 8.2 of the
Anti-Dumping Agreement, which specifies that “[p]rice undertakings shall not be sought or
accepted from exporters unless the authorities of the importing Member have made a
preliminary affirmative determination of dumping and injury caused by such dumping.”
