Episode 39: Australia’s Trade Remedies System: A discussion with Australia’s Anti-Dumping Commissioner David Latina

In this episode of TPD, Peter and Pru talk to David Latina, Australia’s Anti-Dumping Commissioner, about the work of the ADC.

The episode delves into the basics of the ADC’s purpose, operations and how business can access ADC services. The discussion explores how the ADC balances various competing interests, especially importers vs domestic interests, the recourse aggrieved parties have to legislated appeal mechanisms, and where the interests of consumers fit in the ADCs work. 

Pru, Peter and David also look at how the ADC’s mandate is expanding to enable it to better assist Australian businesses impacted by shifts in trade flows caused by new tariffs and ongoing industry policies.
