Financial Times

 " Consider the anti-dumping procedures that advanced countries are determined to defend. Every scholar who has looked at their rationale has concluded that they are intrinsically proteccionist, violate fundamental competition principles and often merely support domestic cartels. One should note the irony of the EU's position as a user of anti-dumping measures, in view of its export subsidies on farm surpluses. This is the most damaging dumping programme in the world- and the one France defended to the last ditch in Doha. " 
United Kingdom Secretary of State for International Development, Claire Short December 2000 

Paper: "Eliminating World Poverty: Making Globalization Work for the Poor"

 "  There are substantial inequities in the existing international trading system. […] Despite progress over the last 50 years, developed countries maintain significant tariff and non-tariff barriers against the exports of developing countries […which…] are most damaging in areas of key importance[…], such as agriculture, textile and clothing, while the use and threat of 'trade defence' instruments (e.g. anti-dumping) creates further obstacles".
