Until 2008, there were at least 116 anti-dumping cases accused to Indonesian by 23 countries. These cases had put Indonesian into the highest position as a country which had anti-dumping cases than any other countries such as the US ((20 cases), India (19 cases), South Africa (11 cases), New Zealand (11 cases), Malaysia (8 cases), Turkey (6 cases), Argentina (5 cases), and Mexico (3 cases).

Meanwhile, Indonesian only issued the using of anti-dumping right for 34 import cases. This cases were less than the cases happened in India (372 cases), US (245 cases), and European (252 cases).

This information was taken from the chief of Indonesian Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI), Halida Miljani, in “Socialization of Trade Security Instrument”. This event was conducted by the cooperation between Faculty of Law UGM and Indonesian Trade Security Committee (KPPI) at Seminar room of postgraduate UGM on Tuesday (26/5

It was admitted by halida that the Indonesian government is in progress to protect the local industries from fraudulent actions and dumping accuses. Because of that the Indonesian government establishes anti-dumping and anti-subsidy committee.

“As a member of WTO, we can issue anti-dumping action towards import commodities which were assumed using dumping system to avoid the fraudulent competitions” she said.

It was explained by Halida that anti-dumping action only can be issued which is based on the research result that dumping import commodities have brought material disadvantages towards the domestic industries.

“But, it (government) should conduct an investigation to find evidences if there is a dumping system. The government is in difficult position. Issuing tax towards the import commodities to protect national interest, the government still finds that some parties take some advantages on it and as the result there will be some parties who get disadvantages" said she.

Besides that, Halida stated that the Indonesian government has not taken an act to issued anti-subsidy towards other countries, in fact Indonesian has been subjected 10 anti-subsidy cases. “Indonesian government has not issued anti-subsidy, but we have been accused anti-subsidy case by other countries” she added.

A Master from Faculty of Business and Economy (FEB) UGM, Prof. Dr. Nopirin, M.A., said that dumping can make difficulties towards producers whose countries receive dumping commodities. The production will be closed because they lose in the competition trade, except there is no dumping commodity entering the countries. In the other hand, dumping is good for consumers, because they can buy goods in cheaper prices

“Anti-dumping regulation can be carried out with enter tax, limitation of import and subsidy” he said. (PR UGM/Gusti Grenhenson)
