In Doha round negotiations, clarifying and consummating the material retardation standard has become a subject with regard to the anti-dumping rule negotiations. Egypt had submitted a proposal about this subject, and the material retardation provision taken by the Egyptian proposal had integrated into the 2007 Chair Text. Because many members had divergence on concept of “establishing industry”, 2008 Chair Text deleted this subject. The 2011 communication from the Chairman supplemented to explain this subject. The material retardation standard has the vital significance to China, as a developing country. So China should be more positive to participate in the negotiations on material retardation subject, and to urge the material retardation concept inclusive in the new anti-dumping agreement.
