Gary Horlick

By the promulgation of the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Antidumping and Anti-subsidy in 1997(1997 Regulations), China started anti-dumping investigations against imported products. Particularly since its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2001, China has become one of the most active WTO members in terms of initiating anti-dumping investigations. Until May 2006, a total of 44 investigations have been filed against imports, most of which ended with the imposition of high duties.

Simultaneously, it also denied all 13 Chinese applications for MET in the (smaller) parallel proceeding Certain Footwear with a Protective Toecap.

With the recent accession of Saudi Arabia to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and negotiations by Russia, Ukraine, and
Vietnam to join, the WTO has become the main forum for international economic negotiations. The current, Doha round of
negotiations is scheduled to finish 1 April 2007. If it does finish (either then or later), what is the likely impact on customs and international trade lawyers of the Doha agreements?
