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. Members are therefore invited to submit[1] their
semi-annual reports covering the period 1 July-31 December 2020 not
later than 15 February 2021. Members are encouraged to submit their reports
by 29 January 2021, if possible. Members that have not taken any action within
the reporting period also are invited to inform the Committee accordingly.
3. Members are requested to use the format in document G/ADP/1/Rev.1
when preparing their reports. The format contains tables for reporting original
investigations separately from reviews and other subsequent measures, as well
as tables on definitive measures (duties and undertakings) in force as of the
end of the reporting period, information on refund requests, and on terminations
of definitive measures. Members are free to include any additional annexes that
they may wish.
4. Reports received in reply to the above request will be issued in
addenda to this document.
5. This request does not apply to Members that have submitted a one-time
notification under Articles 16.4 and 16.5 of the Agreement (G/ADP/19). Any
other Members that are eligible to make such a one-time notification are
invited to do so.
