ABSTRACT
At the end of 2004, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) authorised the EU, alongside Brazil, Canada, India, Korea, Japan and Mexico to impose retaliatory measures against the United States for failing to bring its legislation, namely the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA), into conformity with its international trade obligations. The name of the Act stems from the distributions to affected domestic producers who petition for qualifying expenditures and that are known as ‘the continued dumping and subsidy offset’ 1
