The Bill (Reg. No.2066) improves anti-dumping legislation by simplifying the procedure of institution of anti-dumping proceedings.
The ministry authorized to hold anti-dumping inquiry in Ukraine (the Ministry of Economy) can initiate such proceedings. In case an appeal on institution of anti-dumping proceedings fails to include information concerning particular importers of commodities-objects of appeal, export prices or prices for independent customers in Ukraine, volume and dynamics of dumping import, this can not be considered as a ground for refusal of holding of anti-dumping inquiry. Moreover, the Ministry of Economy is to collect the said information, in case it is not indicated in the appeal.
However, the Committee members emphasized that authorization of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine to initiate anti-dumping inquiry fails to comply with effective regulations, pursuant to which "the Ministry of Economy should perform scrutiny, and appraise adequacy and validity of dumping evidence and harm, and further pass a resolution either on institution of anti-dumping proceedings, or denial of it.
Accompanying forms of the Bill state that its adoption will increase revenue of the State Budget of Ukraine. However, they fail to present any information concerning particular predicted rates of such increase.
