“Cumulation of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguards may lead to a greater effect than desirable, and this issue should be examined in due course,” the EC said on Monday April 29. The safeguard measures use a combination of quotas and a tariff of 25% that is applied when the quota for a commodity or exporting region is fully taken up. The EC wants to avoid the imposition of “double remedies”, so that an anti-dumping measure will not be applied in addition to the 25% tariff after the quota is exhausted.
