WTO rules on Egyptian AD duties on Turkish rebars

A WTO panel on August 8, 2002 ruled on whether Egypt violated the 20 clauses of the trading rules. Findings show that Egypt did not brake the 18 of these 20 rules under The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) however for clause no. 3.4., where it is claimed that Egypt's investigation was not satisfactory, clause no. 6.8 plus clause no 2.6 of the addendum where it is claimed that no notification was given to Icdas and IDC by means of reverting, with regard to the deficiency in the information they submitted to the Egyptian authorities. This situation allows Turkey to claim a review for Icdas and IDC to be carried out, in which case the duty rates for these companies and all others category are likely to come down. However, the official application of the Turkish Foreign Trade Undersecretariat to the WTO is required for such transaction. Al Ezz and Alexandria National Iron and Steel Company (ANSDK) filed against Turkish rebar imports in 1999, claiming import of such product being dumped in Egypt.
