In the run up to the expiry of quota restrictions that had long regulated much of global trade in textiles and clothing, many a pundit predicted widespread recourse to anti-dumping actions.

WTO rules permit action to offset the injurious effect of dumping. Yet the apprehension was that given the protection enjoyed by textile industries in quota-imposing countries, it was difficult to see the entrenched interests giving up and that, therefore, the abolition of quotas might give rise to increased anti-dumping actions.
