Circumvention and Anti-Circumvention: Rising Protectionism in Australia

Abstract

The article discusses circumvention and anti-circumvention in international trade with a focus on Australia's anti-circumvention mechanism and in particular the first anti-circumvention investigation in Australia. It identifies the major issues relating to circumvention and anti-circumvention in the GATT/WTO negotiations which have led to the failure of WTO members to conclude uniform rules on anti-circumvention. The article argues that multilateral anti-circumvention rules are necessary to standardize national anti-circumvention laws and practice and discipline unilateral use of anti-circumvention measures. The article further argues that Australia's anti-circumvention law and practice, as reflected in its first anti-circumvention investigation, may have violated WTO rules and is likely to lead to increasing protectionism to cost of WTO members and Australia's FTA trading partners. Australia's unjustified use of anti-circumvention measures is unlikely to foster the development of its import-competing industries and may provoke retaliation by other countries.

95 This is not to suggest that the AD Agreement may not apply to customs duties or other forms of measures imposed against dumping in accordance with legislations other than anti-dumping legislation. As the Appellate Body has established in US – 1916 Act and US – Offset Act (‘Byrd Amendment’), whether a measure is considered to be an action against dumping and hence governed by the AD Agreement depends on whether the action is taken in response to situations presenting the constituent elements of ‘dumping’.

96 The author is grateful for one of the reviewers of the article to bring out this point.

98 The other key elements include (1) the subsidy is provided by a government or any public body, and (2) the subsidy is specific.

99 See Edwin Vermulst, The WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement: A Commentary (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005), at 63–93.

100 Article VI:1 of the GATT 1994 reads: ‘The contracting parties recognize that dumping … is to be condemned if it causes or threatens material injury to an established industry in the territory of a contracting party.’

101 Article 11.1 of the AD Agreement reads: ‘An anti-dumping duty shall remain in force only as long as and to the extent necessary to counteract dumping which is causing injury.’

102 Article 19.1 of the SCM Agreement reads: ‘If … a Member makes a final determination of the existence and amount of the subsidy and that, through the effects of the subsidy, the subsidized imports are causing injury, it may impose a countervailing duty in accordance with the provisions of this Article.’
