论反倾销中因果关系的确定

the Demonstration of Casual Relationship in Anti-dumping Measures

确定因果关系的存在是利用反倾销法制裁倾销行为所必须满足的3个条件之一。虽然反倾销协定对此作了较为详细的规定,但由于该问题的敏感性、在具体细化标准上缺乏明确的规定以及主要贸易大国的贸易保护主义倾向,各国在因果关系确定的问题上仍然表现出相当大的随意性,并经常因此引发贸易争端。文章通过对因果关系确定条款的分析,指出了目前因果关系确定中的随意性及其成因;并结合WTO争端解决机构对因果关系确定条款的解释,详细阐述了该机构对因果关系确定随意性的抑制,以及其解释对我国反倾销实践的借鉴意义。

The demonstration of causal relationship is one of the three requirements that should be met before taking anti-dumping measures. WTO Anti-dumping Agreement states this problem in details,but WTO members show much random when demonstrating the casual relationship and often result in trade disputes because of the sensitiveness of this problem, the lack of concrete requirements on demonstration standards and the trade protection of main trade countries. Through the analysis of the articles of casual relationship demonstration, this paper indicates the expressions of the random demonstration and its reasons. Meanwhile, on the basis of interpretation of Dispute Settlement Body （DSB） on articles of casual relationship demonstration,the paper discusses in details the limitation imposed by DSB on the random demonstration of the casual relationship and further indicates the reference of the DSB interpretation to Chinese anti-dumping practices.
