On April 29, the Chair of the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures pressed members to submit timely notifications of subsidy programs to uphold transparency and facilitate effective oversight.
The committee examined notifications of subsidy programs and preliminary and final countervailing duties from several members, including Vietnam. It also reviewed semi-annual reports covering the period from July to December 2024.
The Anti-Dumping Committee similarly reviewed semi-annual reports and preliminary and final anti-dumping measures submitted by member states, including Vietnam. The committee debated several issues, including China’s concerns about US discriminatory subsidy policies and practices, the Republic of Korea’s inquiry into France’s EV subsidy program, and a joint proposal by the EU, Japan, the UK and the US addressing subsidies and overcapacity.
