Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices 
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS UNDER ARTICLE 16.4 
OF THE AGREEMENT 
1. Under Article 16.4 of the WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, Members shall submit, on a semi-annual basis, reports of any 
anti-dumping actions taken within the preceding six months. 
2. The WTO Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices adopted (G/ADP/M/1, paragraph 22) the 
recommendation of the Informal Contact Group on Anti-Dumping, Subsidies and Safeguards that the 
first semi-annual report submitted by each WTO Member will cover the period July-December or 
January-June, whichever is more recent, prior to the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement 
for that Member (PC/IPL/11, Annex 7). 
3. All Members are therefore invited to submit their semi-annual reports covering the period 
1 January-30 June 1995 not later than 31 August 1995. Members which have not taken any action 
within the reporting period are also invited to inform the Committee accordingly. 
4. Members will recall that the WTO Committee adopted (G/ADP/M/1, paragraph 55) the 
Guidelines for Information Provided in Semi-Annual Reports (ADP/122) that had been previously adopted 
by the Tokyo Round Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices, for purposes of semi-annual reports pursuant 
to Article 16.4. 
5. In view of the decision adopted by the Tokyo Round Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices 
at its meeting of 21 February 1995, a semi-annual report submitted to the WTO Committee will be 
deemed also to be a semi-annual report pursuant to Article 14:4 of the Tokyo Round Agreement on 
Implementation of Article VI of the GATT 1947. 
6. Reports received in reply to the above request will be issued in addenda to this document.
