Requirement

Abstract
Decision of the Appellate Body in two cases has raised the issue whether anti-
dumping measures should be applied on MFN basis. One view is that it should
be. Another view is that it need not be. Author supports the idea that it need
not be but on arguments different from what is given by other writers. Author
contends that interpretation of Article VI and Antidumping Agreement do not
support the idea of application of antidumping measures on MFN basis.
