Complaint by Argentina.
 
On 21 October 2002, Argentina requested consultations with Peru on its anti-dumping investigation on imports of sunflower and soja vegetable oils and their mixtures originating in Argentina (Resolution No. 016-2002-CDS-INDECOPI); and its imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties on those imports as a result of the said investigation (Resolution No. 040-2002-CDS-INDECOPI). Argentina considered that both the on-going investigation and the provisional determination of the existence of dumping, injury and causal link which led to the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties, are inconsistent with Peru’s obligations under Articles 5.2, 5.3, 5.8, 4.1(ii), 6.8 and Annex II, 2.2, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 7, 12.2.1 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article VI of the GATT 1994.
 
As regards the measure imposing provisional anti-dumping duties, Argentina considered that it is also inconsistent with Peru’s obligations under Articles 5.2, 5.3, 5.8, 6.8 and Annex II, 2.2, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 7, 12.2.1 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article VI of the GATT 1994.
