Summary: 1. The Expert Meeting on the Impact of Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Actions was held from 4 to 6 Dec. 2000. The decision to organize this Meeting was taken in accordance with paragraph 132 of the UNCTAD X Plan of Action (TD/386). 2. Individual experts, on the basis of the concrete experiences presented at the Meeting, put forward their views on the possible ways and means of addressing the issues and areas of concern to developing countries so that the adverse effects of anti-dumping and countervailing duty actions on trade, particularly that of developing countries, could be reduced. The following text summarizes their suggestions. Not all of the views were shared by all experts; the text is intended to reflect fairly the richness and diversity of the views expressed, rather than agreement. 3. Several experts and the background note prepared by the secretariat emphasized that anti-dumping and countervailing duty actions are legitimate measures permitted under GATT/WTO rules, and considered that the proposed changes should be seen in the context of their impact on investigatory practices and the ability to ensure fair trade
