Anti-circumvention is one of the most controversial areas in the Anti-Dumping Agreement Negotiations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It seems that it is very difficult for members to reach an agreement on what constitutes circumvention and establishing rules and procedures for anticircumvention investigations. Although there are no internationally agreed rules and procedures regarding anti-circumvention investigations today, members are free to put into effect their own rules and procedures. Based on that fact, the number of anti-circumvention investigations have been increasing significantly in recent years in all over the world. Turkey is one of the most active countries in the use of anti-circumvention measures. This article aims to shed light onto Turkish anti-circumvention legislation and practices. The author hopes that this article will assist a better understanding of Turkish practice in this area and contribute to the efforts to reach an agreement on this matter within the multilateral rules based trading system.
