Abstract

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has introduced a legal regime of antidumping measures (ADMs) since 2004 and amended in 2010 to shield GCC industries from harm caused by dumped imports. Gulf countries also use various protection measures permissible under the WTO agreements which have enhanced the implementation of the Unified Strategy of Industrial Development for the GCC Member States. These measures aim to mitigate unfair trade practices and defend the domestic industries of GCC members against the adverse effects of dumped imported goods. This article critically examines the ADM regime to see whether (a) it can achieve its intended economic objectives; and (b) its legal framework is aligned with the antidumping regime of the WTO. The article highlights the potential influence of these measures on trade relations between the GCC and its trading partners, and the consequences for the Gulf local industry and consumers.
