With this policy brief, Brian Hindley of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) expresses his doubts on the economic justification of EU anti-dumping actions.
Anti-dumping measures impose a substantial burden on international trade flows – a burden which, according to Hindley, is not justified because anti-dumping practice often rests on flawed economic analysis and “convoluted investigations”, and “can easily degenerate into protectionism”.(…)
[A]nti-dumping places the blame for the problems of a European industry on the unfair practices of foreign exporters rather than on the behaviour of the European industry itself; thereby avoiding the harsher course of suggesting that the European industry should adjust. The problem however, as he sees it, is that adjustment is quite often in the interests of the industry.
