Extract

This paper addresses the dispute brought to the World Trade Organization (WTO) by India concerning antidumping duties imposed by the European Communities (EC) on cotton-type bed linen. An earlier complaint brought by India challenged the antidumping duties on a number of points, including the EC practice of ‘zeroing’ for the computation of dumping margins (which had the e.ect of assigning a negative dumping margin a weight of zero when computing a weighted average dumping margin). India prevailed in that dispute, and the EC responded with Council Regulation (EC) No. 1644/2001, amending the original antidumping measure on bed linen from India. India was of the view that the amended measure did not comply with EC obligations under the WTO Antidumping Agreement, and brought the proceeding under Article 21.5 of the DSU that is the subject of this paper.
