Customs Amendment (Anti-Dumping Improvements) Bill (No. 2) 2011

Explanatory Memorandum

(Circulated by authority of the Minister for Home Affairs, the Honourable Brendan O'Connor MP)

It is assumed that the Commission meant that such decisions would not reviewable by the Review Officer, not that judicial review would be excluded for aggrieved parties.

The Government will establish the International Trade Remedies Forum comprising parties with an interest in the anti-dumping system and government agencies to oversee the implementation of the reforms and monitor their effectiveness.

A proposal to limit the duration of measures to 10 years (5+5) is not reflected in the current text prepared by the Chair of the Negotiating Group on Rules in the Doha Round.
