Measures that the Union may take concerning anti-dumping and anti-subsidy matters. Codification

The European Parliament adopted by 635 votes to 52, with 13 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the measures that the Union may take following a report adopted by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body concerning anti-dumping and anti-subsidy matters (codified text).

Parliament adopted its position at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure taking over the Commission proposal as adapted to the recommendations of the Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

According to the Consultative Working Party, the proposal in question contains a straightforward codification of the existing texts without any change in their substance.

The proposed regulation seeks to establish specific provisions with a view to permitting the Union, where it considers this appropriate, to bring a measure taken under Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (anti-dumping measures) or Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 (anti-subsidy measures) into conformity with the recommendations and rulings contained in a report adopted by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body concerning anti-dumping and anti-subsidy matters.
