NOTES TOTHE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OFANTI-DUMPING
ACTIONS SUBMITTED BYCANADA UNDER
ARTICLE 16.4OFTHE AGREEMENT
1July1995 to31December 1995
1. Thesymbol (R)isusedifaninvestigation isopened inthecontext ofareview ofanexisting
anti-dumping measure.
Where aninvestigation isconducted inthecontext ofareview ofanexisting anti-dumping
measure, thedateofcompletion ofthereview isshown incolumn 5,butgenerally itisnotpossible
tostatethemargin ofdumping inthiscolumn. Thisisbecause thereview procedure wasinitiated
toallow Canadian authorities todetermine thecurrent normal value oftheimported product, inorder
todetermine, inthefuture, whether imports oftheproduct aredumped. Asthemargin ofdumping
isequal tothedifference between theexport priceandthenormal value, itisimpossible todetermine,
apriori ,thepercentage margin ofdumping. Inaddition, Canadian authorities compile statistical data
concerning trade volume oftheimported product onlywhen reviewing adetermination ofinjury in
thecontext ofpossible revocation oftheanti-dumping measure. Asaresult, statistical dataontrade
volume forcolumns 11,12and13arenotavailable forinvestigations ofexisting anti-dumping measures.
2. Provisional measures apply from thedateapreliminary determination ofdumping ismade
uptotheconclusion oftheCanadian International Trade Tribunal 'sinquiry regarding injury caused
totheCanadian industry (maximum 120daysfromthenotice ofthepreliminary determination). The
percentage represents theestimated margin ofdumping calculated asapercentage ofnormal value.
3. Either thedateofapositive injury finding, inacaseofaninvestigation, orthedateofthe
conclusion ofareview ofnormal values andexport prices incases where thereisanexisting Canadian
International Trade Tribunal finding ofinjury. Thepercentage represents themargin ofdumping
calculated asapercentage ofnormal value atthetimeofthefinaldetermination ofdumping.
4. Theword "Renewal" indicates thatanexisting undertaking wasrenewed following areview
oftheinjury question; theword "Amendment" indicates thatatechnical amendment wasmade tothe
undertaking, normally toaccount forchanges inthepriceorterms contained therein. Thewords "Not
Renewed"indicatethatanexistingundertakingwasnotrenewedfollowingareviewoftheinjuryquestion
and,asaresult, wasallowed toexpire onitsanniversary date.G/ADP/N/9/CAN

5. Thetrade volume isbased onstatistical dataforthelatest available 12-month period prior to
initiation except asfollows:
* 01.01.94 to28.02.95 (Refined sugar, originating inorexported fromtheUnited States,
Denmark, theFederal Republic ofGermany, theNetherlands, theUnited Kingdom
andtheRepublic ofKorea)
** 01.01.94 to31.12.94 (DryPasta originating inorexported from Italy)
6. Forthepurpose ofthere-investigation initiated on21.02.95 inrespect ofcertain machine tufted
carpeting, normal values were issued inphases. Thelastphase wascompleted on29.09.95 which
corresponds totheconclusion ofthere-investigation.
7. Areview oftheundertaking withrespect tocertain aluminium wedge clamps originating in
orexported from theUnited States, initiated on13.04.95, wasconcluded on19.07.95. Asaresult
ofthisreview, itwasconcluded thattheundertaking accepted on31.07.92 nolonger served thepurpose
forwhich itwasintended andassuch, wasallowed toexpire onitsanniversary dateof31.07.95.
8. Areview oftheundertaking withrespect tohanging filefolders originating inorexported
fromtheUnited States, initiated on15.08.95, wasconcluded on27.11.95. Asaresult ofthisreview,
itwasconcluded thattheundertaking accepted on30.11.92 nolonger served thepurpose forwhich
