Anti-Dumping Regulations

Representation in anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings

Anti-dumping duties are probably the most common and most drastic measure to protect the EU market against allegedly unfair trading practices in international competition. If a third country itself intervenes in international competition by granting subsidies to promote exports, countervailing duties may be imposed on imports from that country in accordance with the WTO Subsidies Agreement.

We advise businesses and associations affected by anti-dumping proceedings, including, without limitation,


in filing applications with, and contacting, the European Commission or national authorities


during the investigation procedure and “on-spot visits” of the European Commission or the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) in third countries


in stating their case and completing the questionnaire


in hearings before the European Commission


in procedures relating to the expansion of anti-dumping duties (anti-circumvention, scope review and expiry review procedures)


Judicial relief against anti-dumping measures

Anti-dumping measures can severely affect businesses and pose significant economic challenges. Our lawyers are familiar with anti-dumping procedures and ways of defending against them. We assist businesses in contesting decisions of the European Commission, in particular the imposition of provisional or final anti-dumping measures and in filing remedies against import duty assessment notices.
