Dukgeun Ahn, an expert from theRepublic of Korea Development Institute, said it is necessary to set upan agency which will consult and organise training courses forVietnamese experts in trade law.

When anti-subsidyand anti-dumping lawsuits are aimed at Vietnam’s exported goods, localenterprises should be active in handling the cases, he said.

According toexperts, the import-export of Vietnamese goods to some primary marketsface difficulties as they have not recognised Vietnam’s market economystatus.

Recently, the US conducted bothanti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations on some products importedfrom Vietnam, which may result in double taxation on the country’sexported items, they said.

Le Sy Giang from theMinistry of Industry and Trade’s Competition Management Department saidthe popularisation of legal documents regarding trade defence should beimplemented intensively and extensively, especially the trade defenceinstruments.
