Readership: WTO delegations, anti-dumping authorities, and practitioners and academics in the fields of the WTO, anti-dumping and international trade.
Edwin Vermulst, Vermulst Verhaeghe & Graafsma
"...as many a WTO scholar has discovered, it is almost impossible to comprehend the intricacies of the WTO dispute settlement system without a good understanding of the ADA...Vermulst takes a broad view of his subject-matter... and does an excellent job of integrating WTO case law into his explanation of the ADA. His elucidation of some of the trickiest concepts should make them clear even to a novice...While...the opportunity to reform the ADA may slip away, the WTO dispute settlement system is likely to keep resolving anti-dumping disputes and Members' agencies to keep imposing anti-dumping duties for the foreseeable future. This book is recommended to anyone wanting to understand what is going on. " - Tania Voon, International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Vol. 56, No. 2, p. 463, 2007
"Vermulst's commentary has the virtue of being thorough, accurate and written in an accessible manner despite the natural complexity of the issues discussed...the book still remains a valid reference for government officials, practitioners, scholars and business people interested in the area" - Shandana Gulzar Khan and Fernando Pierola, Advisory Centre on WTO Law, World Trade Review Vol 8, 4
