Anti-dumping: Council adopts new rules against unfair trade practices

On 4 December, the Council approved new rules to help  protect the EU against unfair trade practices. They will enter into force by 20 December.

This new anti-dumping methodology will  identify and redress cases where prices of imported products are artificially lowered due to state intervention.

"“Today we are delivering on own of our presidency's priorities: strengthening our anti-dumping toolkit to provide a fair trade environment for EU producers. The new rules will be crucial in ensuring that all our trading partners are selling us their products at undistorted prices, and that fair market competition is respected.""Urve Palo, Estonian minister for trade
