The World Trade Organization (WTO) recently handed down eight arbitration decisions. The dispute involved the failure of the United State’s Continued Dumping and Subsidy Act of 2000 and that Act’s failure to comply with the WTO’s antidumping agreements. In 2003, the arbitrator gave the United States eleven months to bring the Act into compliance with the antidumping agreements. The United States failed to comply, so the WTO handed down arbitration decisions allowing eight countries to bring sanctions against the United States.
