ANTI-DUMPING AGREEMENT
Replies of CANADA to Questions Submitted
by the EUROPEAN COMMUNITY1
The following communication, dated 12 March 2002, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Canada.
_______________
In respect to Paragraph 7.4: Annual Reviews of the Anti-Dumping Agreement, Canada
submits the following responses to questions posed by the Permanent Delegation of the European
Commission in document G/ADP/W/423, dated 18 February 2002.
Q14. Could Canada please give examples of the kind of "notations" the Committee would
want to make?
Reply
As noted in Canada's paper, prior to the release of the statistics, the Committee would be able
to examine the statistics and provide additional explanations the Committee agrees is appropriate to
clarify the presentation of the statistics.  Canada is not suggesting any particular situations that would
be identified, but rather that if one was identified to the Committee by a Member, the Committee
would be in a position to identify that situation in its press release.  Canada does not offer an opinionas to what such a situation might be.
Q15. Could Canada please expand on its proposal and explain whether the proposed database
would only contain the semi-annual reports provided by each Member or also the individual
regulations or decisions attached to it?
Reply
Canada's proposal for a database was limited to the data that is contained in the semi-annual
reports.  The Committee would, of course, be free to request further information to be contained in thedatabase, but would have to consider the resource implications of collecting and compiling the
information, and making the information available to all Members.
