Summary:

Annual report published by the European Commission on 24 September 2024, concerning the European Union's Anti-Dumping, Anti-Subsidy and Safeguard activities and the Use of trade defence instruments by third countries targeting the EU in 2023.

Further information:

This is the 42nd Report on the European Union’s (EU) trade defence activity. It covers the EU’s anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard activities, third countries’ trade defence activities with respect to goods imported from the EU and the Hearing Officer’s activities in 2023. It is accompanied by a Staff Working Document providing more detailed information and statistics.

The document reports on a total of 182 trade defence measures in place across the EU at the end of 2023, including 156 anti-dumping measures, 25 anti-subsidy measures, and one safeguard measure. Twice as many new investigations were launched in 2023 compared to the previous year. The number of EU jobs protected by these measures also increased dramatically to almost 500,000 direct jobs at the end of 2023. Additionally, the report emphasizes the need for action, such as the initiation of an anti-subsidy investigation on battery electric vehicles from China, to protect green tech sectors from unfair trade. Finally, the report shows that the Commission continued to rigorously defend EU industry from unfair defensive actions launched by third countries, thus helping to ensure continued access to third country markets.

The report was published by the European Commission on 24 September 2024.
