On its path to the WTO, in 1998 Ukraine adopted legislation
specifically addressing trade defense proceedings and remedies,
namely: the On Protection of National Producer against Dumped
Imports Act of Ukraine, On Protection of National Producer
against Subsidized Import Act of Ukraine and On
Application of Special Measures against Imports into Ukraine Act of
Ukraine1.
Since then and until June 2013, Ukraine initiated 33
anti-dumping and 36 safeguard investigations. No anti-subsidy
investigations have yet been conducted in Ukraine.
Under the mentioned Acts, trade defense proceedings in Ukraine
are conducted by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of
Ukraine (the Ministry). Major decisions within the proceedings,
including preliminary and final determinations, are made by a
special interdepartmental agency i.e. the Interdepartmental
Committee on International Trade (the Committee) chaired by the
Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine.
