اس ای بک کے بارے میں

The sixth edition of this definitive work, last revised in 2011, gives detailed attention to all legislative, regulatory and judicial developments that have arisen under European Union (EU) and World Trade Organization (WTO) law on trade defence instruments up to February 2019, including the amended 2018 EU anti-dumping regulation. As trade law practitioners and scholars have come to expect from the trade law team of the Brussels law firm Van Bael & Bellis, the book continues to provide comprehensive, up-to-date analysis and critical commentary on EU instruments dealing with anti-dumping, countervailing, safeguard and trade barrier measures. The emphasis throughout is on the practical application of the rules.

The book covers every issue likely to arise in any trade defence matter, including all of the following and more:

determining the dumping and injury margins; rules for the determination of permissible adjustments; clarification of the terms ‘significant distortions’ and ‘distortions on raw materials’; determining the subsidy margin; determining the causal link between dumping or subsidy and injury; determining if ‘Union interest’ calls for intervention; examining the differences between anti-dumping and anti-subsidy legislation; procedural rules applicable to complaints, initiation of proceedings, investigations, protective measures, reviews and refunds; conditions for accepting an undertaking; measures that may be taken to prevent ‘circumvention’ of anti-dumping or countervailing measures; rules governing the standing of various interested parties before the European Courts; allocation and administration of quantitative quotas; and surveillance measures.

As a detailed and practical commentary on the relevant aspects of the EU trade defence instruments as actually applied by the EU institutions in the light of WTO law, this book is the pre-eminent work in the field which remains without peer as a guide to EU trade defence law.
