answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>Trade remedies allow WTO members to operate a safety net and protect domestic industry from injury caused by unfair trading practices, such as dumped or subsidised imports, or unforeseen surges in imports. The Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Bill and Trade Bill set out the UK’s proposed trade remedies system: that an independent body, Trade Remedies Authority (TRA), will investigate cases and propose measures to tackle injury to UK industry caused by such trading practices.</p><p>We have published an impact assessment on the trade remedies framework set out in the Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Bill, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/taxation-cross-border-trade-bill" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/taxation-cross-border-trade-bill</a></p><p>The TRA will not conduct an impact assessment on each measure proposed. However, the system will apply an economic interest test as part of each investigation to take into account wider economic considerations alongside the need to correct injury to UK industry. This will consider whether proposed measures might have a disproportionate impact on other economic actors in the UK, such as downstream users and consumers. This is similar to the European Union Interest Test.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 05/12/2017 14:34:58 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
