Elene Tskhomelidze, Head of the Anti-Dumping Measures Department at the Georgian Competition and Consumer Agency (GCCA), participated in a technical workshop hosted by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland, on 28-29 October.
The workshop brought together senior officials from anti-dumping investigating authorities across international jurisdictions to exchange operational expertise and benchmark enforcement practices in trade defense investigations.
Key discussions focused on optimizing procedural efficiency and operational standards, integrating advanced digital tools and artificial intelligence, safeguarding confidential commercial data, and maintaining solid legal grounds for administrative determinations.
The agenda further covered comprehensive economic impact assessments, evaluating the systemic effects of trade remedy measures across the supply chain, specifically regarding importers, downstream users, and broader macroeconomic sectors. Delegates emphasized procedural predictability, strict compliance with statutory investigation deadlines, and administrative process optimization.
The WTO initiative provided an authoritative forum for peer-level technical dialogue, international best-practice alignment, and reinforced inter-agency cooperation in trade remedy administration.
