Is There Anything That Can Be Done About Anti-Dumping?
In my view, there's not enough talk about anti-dumping these days. Most people seem to have accepted the status quo, and all the big mega-regional trade talks just ignore it. So, I'm always happy to see that some people still care about the issue. This program from the EUI looks interesting:
11-13 May 2015
Antidumping: Yesterday's Woes and Today's Concerns
Scientific Coordinators:
Petros C. Mavroidis | European University Institute
Bernard M. Hoekman | European University Institute
Application Deadline: 11 April
The purpose of the seminar is to provoke a discussion among participants about the hottest topics nowadays in Antidumping. We take a WTO view on this score, since this is the common benchmark. Zeroing, pass through, causality and other themes will be analyzed by the worlds top experts, and their presentation will provide the input for lengthy discussions with the audience.
A special feature of the seminar is the Enforcers Forum, where we invite members of national antidumping authorities to debate on their current issues and concerns.
Every session is followed by a 45 minutes discussion with the audience.
