ANNEX 2: GLOSSARY
WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994
Antidumping agreement
The GCC Common Law on Anti-Dumping, Countervailing and safeguard measures
The GCC Common Law
Exporting a product to GCC Member States at less than its normal value in the ordinary course of trade for the like product in the exporting country.
Dumping:
Injury shall mean material injury to a GCC industry, threat of material injury to a GCC industry or material retardation of the establishment of such an industry.
Injury
Causal relationship between the dumped imports and the injury to the GCC industry. It should be determined on the basis of examination of all relevant evidence. The investigation authority will take actions only against the dumped imports which cause injury to the GCC industry. The injury caused by other factors must not be attributed to dumped imports.
Causal link
The price paid or payable for the product under investigation when sold for export from the exporting country to the GCC market
Export price:
The price paid or payable, for the like product in the ordinary course of trade when destined for consumption in the exporting country
Normal value:
The difference between the normal value and the export price during the period of investigation
Dumping amount:
Percentage of dumping amount relatively to the export price
Dumping margin
A fair comparison has to be made between the export price and the normal value. Due allowances have to be made in each case, on its merits, for differences which affect price comparability, including discounts, rebates and quantities, transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs, packing, credit, after-sales costs, commissions.
Adjustments
Confidential information is sensitive commercial data that would cause significant injury to the provider if disclosed publicly. Usually, the investigation authority will treat the data confidentially if requested by the provider, and not included in the general requirements, including trade confidential information of the production process, costs, distribution costs, sales’ conditions, prices, and customer & suppliers’ names.
Confidential Information
(Private Business Information)
It shall be considered to be de minimis if the dumping margin is less than two percent (2), expressed as a percentage of the export price. In this case the investigation shall be terminated
De minimis
The imported product as described in the notice of initiation of the investigation.
Product under investigation:
GCC products which are identical or alike in all respects to the product under investigation, or in the absence of such a product, another product which, although not alike in all respects, has characteristics closely resembling those of the product under investigation
Like products:
GCC Industry: Member States’ producers as a whole of the like products or those of them whose collective output of the products constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of those products. For the purpose of safeguard investigations, the term GCC industry shall mean total Member States producers as a whole of the like or directly competitive products operating within the territory of Member states, or those whose collective output of the like or directly competitive products constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of those products.
GCC Industry:
Bureau of the Technical Secretariat of Anti-injurious Practices in International Trade
GCC Competent authority
Combined markets of the GCC Member States.GCC market:
Buyer(s) without association, and without a commercial or production partnership with the importer in the importing country or with the exporter or producer in the exporting country, and without any relationship with them, or where both of them are not controlled by a third party directly or indirectly and where neither of them are members of same family.
Independent buyer(s):
In order to establish whether differences in levels of trade exist, the GCC-TSAIP reviews distribution systems, including categories of customers, selling activities, and levels of selling expenses for each type of sale. Different levels of trade are typically characterized by purchasers at different stages in the chain of distribution and sellers performing qualitatively and/or quantitatively different selling activities. Different levels of trade necessarily involve differences in selling activities, although differences in selling activities alone are not sufficient to establish differences in levels of trade. Similarly, customer categories such as OEM’s, distributor, wholesaler, retailer, and end-user are often useful in identifying levels of trade, although they, too, are insufficient in themselves to establish differences in levels of trade. Rather, the GCC-TSAIP evaluates differences in levels of trade based on a seller’s entire marketing process.
Level of trade
Dumping investigation period or the period of investigation, in which the existence of dumping, injury and causal link between them should be determined.
POI
