The research selected the US, EU and India—three WTO members with active use of anti-dumping (AD) measures—as case studies, and analyzed the structure of their trade remedy authorities, pre-investigation work, investigation procedure, as well as whether the number of initiations and measures imposed are corelated. A closer look into the trade remedy actions by the US (728 investigations, 502 measures, successful application rate: 69%), the EU (521 investigations, 332 measures, successful application rate: 63.7%), and India (972 investigations, 706 measures, successful application rate: 72.6%) indicates that India comes out top among the three. A separate trade remedy analysis reveals that the number of initiations and use of AD measures by India have exhibited year-over-year growth, while the figures for the US have remained at the same level. In comparison, a decreasing trend year by year has been observed for trade remedy actions by the EU. Nevertheless, after reviewing the development of AD regulations across these countries, the study observed no distinct corelation between the initiation procedure and frequency of AD measures, whose application remains largely dependent on the administrative discretion in the investigation procedures of the competent authorities.

In Taiwan, aquatic product trade is co-managed by a host of competent authorities in agriculture, sanitation, and trade and economy. As such, in addressing the requests of importing countries, a cross-departmental collaboration mechanism is often initiated to deliberate on a case-by-case basis, and to define the task of each participating department in assisting the industry to respond to such requests. However, the requirements of each importing country vary, and a case-by-case, cross-departmental collaborative approach not only is time-consuming, but could mean missed export opportunities for Taiwan, while creating huge burden on the entire administrative system.
