In the 1970th, articles regarding NME treatment were introduced into the working party reports concerning accession of several countries, Poland, Romania and Hungary; but their provisions are crude and ambiguous as well. Afterwards, during the WTO era, special arrangements regarding NME treatment were included in the accession legal documents of China and Vietnam. Though according to these special arrangements, China and Vietnam committed to be viewed directly as NMEs in AD investigations, being applied automatically with special methodology for dumping calculation, specific stipulations were still not provided concerning the definition of NME and the applicable dumping calculation methodology for NMEs
The main aim of my dissertation is to find ways for Vietnamese enterprise to avoid being involved in anti-dumping cases or to react in the positive way if their goods are considered as having been dumped. In order to achieve this, I will examine the US and EC anti-dumping regulations and their application in Vietnam cases.
So these questions need to be answered:
- What are the Non-Market economy?
- How are the US and EC anti-dumping regulations applied against China and Vietnam?
- What lessons can be drawn by Vietnamese enterprises from the China's case?
