European Union – Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties
on Stainless Steel Products from Indonesia

Request for Consultations by Indonesia

The following communication, dated 24 January 2023, from the delegation of Indonesia to the delegation of the European Union, is circulated to the Dispute Settlement Body in accordance with Article 4.4 of the DSU.

_______________

My authorities have instructed me to request consultations with the European Union ("EU") pursuant to Articles 1, 4, and 26 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"), Article 30 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures ("SCM Agreement"), Article 17 of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("Anti-Dumping Agreement") and Article XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("GATT 1994"), concerning the imposition of countervailing and anti-dumping duties on Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Flat Products ("SSCRFP") from Indonesia.

The measures that Indonesia would like to address in these consultations are the definitive countervailing and anti-dumping duties on SSCRFP from Indonesia as well as the underlying investigation that led to the imposition of these measures (hereafter "countervailing measures" and "anti-dumping measures", respectively), which include, amongst others, the actions taken or omitted by the European Commission ("Commission") during the course of – or in relation to – the investigation.  This request also covers any future action or measures the EU may take in connection with these measures.
