Japan
expressed concerns about anti-dumping investigations by China on certain
high-performance stainless steel seamless tubes and on m-dihydroxybenzene or
resorcinol, by India on melamine and on aniline and by Indonesia on cold rolled
coil/sheet. It also complained that the United States continues to maintain
five anti-dumping measures against Japan that are more than 30 years old.
Chile said
it is following closely Argentina’s anti-dumping investigations on steel drums
and on self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape and strip of plastics,
not printed, and Mexico’s investigation on
mushrooms of the genus Agaricus.
The United
States expressed concerns about China’s investigation into thylene glycol
monobutyl ether and diethylene glycol
monobutyl ether, and India’s investigation into stainless steel cold rolled
flat products.
Regarding
recent notifications of anti-dumping actions, Thailand asked for more
information about Brazil’s investigation into nylon, and the US investigation
into frozen warm water shrimps.
Turkey
reiterated concerns about transparency and duration of Indonesia’s anti-dumping
investigation into wheat flour. It said that while this investigation was
terminated last May, Indonesia had failed to inform interested parties of the
decision. Australia shared Turkey’s concerns. The US and Canada said that as a
general matter, they would urge members to conclude investigations within the
18-month period stipulated in the agreement.
Indonesia
said it would convey the concerns to the proper authorities, adding it is open
to bilateral discussions on this matter.
The
Committee elected Mrs Alana Hudson (New Zealand) as vice-chair, and adopted its
2012 report for the Goods Council.
