Summary

A Turkish textile exporter facing pending EU anti-dumping duties tries to sort out the mess and to decide whether he should accept the Commission’s offer of a price agreement. Whether he should or not depends on the chances that permanent duties will be voted on at the Council. What are the risks on either side?

Teaching objectives
