from Indonesia

Request for Consultations by Indonesia

The following communication, dated 7 February 2024, 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.

_______________

1._        My authorities have instructed me to request consultations with the European Union pursuant to Articles 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU), Article XXII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), and Article 17 of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the GATT 1994 (Anti-Dumping Agreement) with respect to the European Union's definitive anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of fatty acid originating in Indonesia,[1] the investigation leading to the imposition of those measures (fatty acid anti-dumping investigation) as well as the methodology applied by the European Union in anti‑dumping investigations (including in the fatty acid anti-dumping investigation) for constructing normal value based on PCN-specific costs and profit data.

2._        The Government of Indonesia (Indonesia) considers that these measures are inconsistent with the Anti-Dumping Agreement and the GATT 1994.
