§ Mr. Robert Sheldonasked the Secretary of State for Trade how many cases of dumping in the United Kingdom he has examined in the past 12 months; and in how many such cases he found the allegations of dumping proved.
§ Mr. TebbitThe responsibility for investigating dumping allegations now rests with the European Commission. On 27 November 1979 the Commission had 16 cases under investigation. It has since formally opened 15 further investigations and concluded 14 investigations. In 12 of these cases dumping was established and duties were imposed or price undertakings obtained from exporters; and nine of these cases involved imports into the United Kingdom.
