A ut onomy
is
the
EU’ s
new
trade
par - adigm.
European
Commission
P resident
Ursula

Ley en
wants
t o
reposition
the
EU
in
a
changed geo-ec onomic
en vironment.
P ro t ectionism,
sta t e
in - t er v entionism,
and
na tional
go-it-alone
stra t egies are
en
v ogue .
In
addition,
trade
policy
is
increasing - ly
used
t o
achiev e
geopolitical
objectiv es.
The
Euro - pean
Union
can
no
longer
rely
on
traditional

Meanwhile,
the
World
T rade
Orga - niza tion
(WT O )
is
in
deep
crisis.
Giv en
the
changing
na ture
of
the
trade
policy
en vi - ronment
w orldwide,
the
European
Commission
rightly in iti a t e d
a

of
the
E U’ s

p oli cy
ins tru me nts . The
EU
needs

be
sufficiently
equipped
t o
c ount er un fa ir

pra ct ic es
th a t
ha rm
E U
pro du c e rs

home and
abroad.
W ithout
doub t,
some
of
the
e xisting instruments
require
sharpening
and
new
instruments ha v e
t o
be
crea t ed.
At
the
same
time,
self-sufficiency is
no t
a
viable
op tion.

The
EU
should
pursue
an
activ e,
liberal
trade policy
tha t
clearly
aligns
trade
def ense
measures
with Union
int erests.
T rade
policy
should
no t
primarily
be used
as
a
lev er
f or
other
policy
objectiv es.
In
addition, the
European
Union
needs
t o
be
careful
no t
t o
fur ther undermine
the

trading
syst em
b y

Thus,
while
the
wider
public
f ocuses
primarily
on
the defensiv e
side
of
trade
policy
–
the
unila t eral
dimen - sion
a t
the
EU
lev el
–
it
w ould
be
shor tsight ed
t o
ne - glect
the
bila t e ral
and
mul tila t eral
dimension.
A ll three
dimensions
w ork
hand
in
hand
and
canno t
be separa t ed
when
discussing
possible
changes
t o
EU trade
policy .
In
our
analysis,
w e
rec ommend
the
f ol - lo wing
ref orms
t o
these
three
dimensions:
THE
UNIL A TERAL
( EU )
DIMENSION
1. ANTIDUMPING
MEASURES
( AD ) :
EU
antidumping measures
are
an
impor tant
t ool
t o
pro t ect
European producers
from
unfair
c ompetition
from
abroad.
The 2 0 1 8
r e f o r m
o f
t h e
A D
R e g u l a t i o n
w a s
o f
g r e a t
i m - por tanc e.
Theref ore,
bef ore
reforming
the
AD
t oolkit again,
a
detailed
analysis
of
its
eff ectiv eness
should be
carried
out
first
–
including
c onsul ta tions
with
all relev ant
stak eholders.
P ossible
ref orm
measures
in - clude
the
f ollo wing:
The
Commission
should
assist c ompanies
in
establishing
the
nec essar y
evidenc e
f or du mping
b y
p ublis hing
fu r the r
rep or ts
a bou t
pric e
dist or tions
in
third
c ountries.
P rocedures
should
be fur ther
streamlined
t o
lo w er
administra tiv e
c osts
t o help
small
c ompanies.
F urthermore,
the
Commission should
more
oft en
pursue
antidumping
and
anti-sub - sidy
in v estiga tions
in
parallel.
Lastly ,
an
e xt ension of
the
antidumping
instruments
t o
trade
in
ser vic es should
be
e xamined.
2. C OUNTER V AILING
( ANTI - SUBSID Y )
DUTIES : The
WT O
rules
on
subsidies,
embedded
in
the
G en- e r a l
A g r ee m e n t
o n
T a r i ff s
a n d
T r a d e
( G ATT )
a n d

on
S u bs i d i e s
a n d
C o u n t e r v a i l i n g
M e a - sures
( S CM
A greement ),
are
w eak.
The
EU
should
pur - sue
mul tila t eral,
plurila t eral
(in
the
best
case,
under the
WT O ),
and
bila t eral
eff or ts
( such
as
in

t o

s u b s i d i e s
a n d
st a t e - o wn e d
e n t e r p r i s e s ,
a n d
t o strengthen
no tifica tion
disciplines.
The
proposals
of the
T rila t eral
Initia tiv e
( the
EU ,
Japan,
and
the
Unit - ed
S ta t es )
on
appropria t e
rules
is
a
st ep
in
the
right direction.
The
EU
should
also
ref orm
its
c ount er v ail - ing
measures
( CVM).
The
framew ork
f or
CVMs
should be
strengthened
and
its
applica tion
should
be
facil - ita t ed.
In
the
future,
CVMs
should
be
designed
in
a wa y
tha t
allo ws
them
t o
more
fully
address
the
mar - k et-dist or tiv e
eff ects
of
f oreign
sta t e-o wned
ent er - prises
( S OEs ).
3. ENF OR CEMENT
RE GULA TION
AND
CHIEF
TRADE ENF OR CEMENT
OFFICER :
The
am end me nt
t o
t he EU’ s
Enf orc ement
R egula tion
is
indispensable
t o
en - sure
tha t
the
EU
can
deal
eff ectiv ely
with
trade
c on - flicts.
If
a
c ountr y
is
no t
willing
t o
engage
in
media - tion
aft er
a
WT O
panel
repor t,
the
EU
needs
t o
be
able t o
retalia t e
in
order
t o
ensure
a
lev el
playing
field
and fair
c ompetition.
S till,
the
first
priority
must
al wa ys be
the
ref orm
of
the
mul tila t eral
disput e
settlement syst em.
The
newly
established
Chief
T rade
Enf orc e - ment
Offic er
( CTE O )
can
also
help
strengthen
the
po - s i t i o n

t h e

Un i o n
b y ,
f o r

The CTE O
should
be
giv en
a
clear
and
transparent

and
sufficient
resourc es.
4. EXPOR T

F OR
CRITICAL
PR ODUCTS DURING
CRISES :
Expor t
c ontrols
–
ev en
if
they
are c ompa tible
with
WT O
rules
–
are
no t
the
right
wa y t o

alleged

Inst ead,
a

is
needed
tha t secures
and
strengthens

f or
pro - t ectiv e
gear
and

T o
increase
resilienc e, the
EU
should
thoro ughly
analyze

in critical

5. INTERNA TIONAL
PR OCUREMENT
INS TRUMENT (I P I) :
The
IPI
is
a
useful
t ool
t o
giv e
the
EU
more
lev er - age
t o
achiev e
more
reciprocity
in
go v ernment

The
Commission ’ s
current
IPI
proposal needs
t o
be
fur ther
revised,
ho w ev er , t o
a v oid
nega - tiv e
implica tions
f or
the
procurement
process.
Thus, the
lev erage
eff ect
vis-à-vis
third

should be
strengthened,
f or

more

At

The
EU
also
needs
t o
ensure
tha t
the
IPI
does
no t
re - sul t
in
a
w orsening
of
rela tions
with
par tner
c ountries. Ov erall,
the
IPI
needs
t o
be
balanc ed,
non-pro t ec - tionist,
and
c ompa tible
with
the
rules
and
principles enshrined
in
the
WT O ’ s
G o v ernment
P rocurement A greement
( GP A ).
6. C OUNTERING
EX TRA TERRITORIALITY
OF
SANC - TIONS :
F or
y ears,
the
EU
has
struggled
with
the
e xtra - t errit orial
reach
of
sanctions
and
e xpor t
c ontrols
of
the Unit ed
S ta t es.
Extra t errit orial
sanctions
harm
the
eco - nomic
and
f oreign
policy
so v ereignty
of
the
EU
and
im - pair
the
global
c ompetitiv eness
of
the
European
ec on - omy .
The
EU
theref ore
needs
t o
sharpen
its
t ools
t o c ount er
e xtra t errit orial
sanctions.
The
use
of
the
EU’ s blo cking
st a tu t e
is
an
imp or tan t
p oli tic al

T he
EU should,
ho w ev er , e xamine

in

detail in

in
the
