WTO《反倾销守则》第18.1条涵义初探

A Tentative Study of the Article 18.1 in Anti-Dumping Agreement of the WTO

WTO《反倾销守则》第18条第1款规定,“除依照本协定解释的GATT1994的条款外,不得针对来自另一成员的倾销出口采取特定行动”。通过对CDSOA案件的分析研究,得出的结论是:一项措施只有与倾销(损害以及因果关系)的确定之间有着清楚的、直接的、不可避免的关系,而且必须对倾销实践具有不利影响时,才构成“针对倾销的特定行动”。除了最终反倾销税、临时措施以及价格承诺外,成员方采取的其他的“针对倾销的特定行动”都是被WTO所禁止的。

Based on the study of the Article18.1in Anti-Dumping Agreement of the WTO and on analysis of the CDSOA case,the paper argues that a measure is considered to constitutes'specific action against dumping'only when it has a clear,direct and un-avoidable connection with the definition of dumping(injury and causation).In addition,it points out that except eventual anti-dumping duties,provisional measures and price-undertaking,other'specific action against dumping'is forbidden by the WTO a-greement.
