Title of the activity
Joint COMESA-WTO Workshop on Trade Remedies
Activity Type
TA by partners - Regional
Description
At the request of the COMESA Secretariat, the WTO was invited to participate in a two-day online introductory capacity-building workshop for members of the newly established COMESA Trade Remedies Sub-Committee. The activity will provide an overview of the WTO Agreements on Anti-Dumping, Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and Safeguards, including basic procedural and substantive requirements, investigation initiation, transparency, and dispute settlement mechanisms. The workshop is designed as an introduction to the administration of trade remedies, since many of the COMESA Member States do not currently apply trade remedies.
