The UK would have freedom to negotiate in areas such as services, tariffs, and regulatory cooperation and conformity assessment.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>All decisions to approve export licences to Indonesia are considered on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (Consolidated Criteria). Decisions are based on the most up-to-date information and analysis available, including reports from our overseas network.</p><p>We have no information to suggest that UK supplied equipment to Indonesia has been used in a way which is inconsistent with the Consolidated Criteria. We do not routinely monitor where, within a jurisdiction, goods are used after a licence has been granted. However, we will revoke any licences that we assess to be no longer consistent with the Consolidated Criteria, for example because of changed circumstances in the export destination.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 16/07/2018 16:58:50 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how the Government plans to calculate dumping margins in situations where state interventions and other distortions mean that a standard anti-dumping methodology is not an appropriate way to establish normal value after the UK leaves the EU.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2018 answer text <p>We are committed to protecting UK industry where it is suffering injury as a result of dumped imports. Secondary legislation will introduce provisions to tackle those cases concerning countries where there are particular market situations. Those situations occur when it is not possible to use the domestic prices in the exporting country to calculate the dumping margin, because prices and input costs do not reflect competitive market conditions. In such cases the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) will be able to use alternative methodologies. These alternative methodologies will include the use of export prices to an appropriate third country, provided they are representative, and will enable the TRA to construct the prices on the basis of cost of production, selling, general and admin costs and profit. Secondary legislation will also provide that the exporter’s cost data may be adjusted, where justified on a case by case basis, based on among other things prices from a representative country<strong>.</strong></p><p>We will set out in secondary legislation examples of situations, such as where prices are artificially low, for example as a result of government intervention, where significant barter trade exists, or where non-commercial processing arrangements occur. Other economies, such as the EU and the US, have similar mechanisms in place to protect the domestic industry from unfair trade practices and the UK will be no different.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 11/07/2018 10:05:08 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery
