A total of 116 cases of dumping have been filed against Indonesia by 32 export destinations between the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995 and 2007, a trade official said Wednesday.

Indonesian Anti-Dumping Commission (KADI) chairwoman Halida Miljani told reporters in Jakarta that she and various other related groups had disseminated anti-dumping information to a number of parties in an effort to overcome unfair trade competition.

"We want to have direct communication with other parties concerned, namely the business community, universities, legal practitioners, and nongovernmental organizations assigned to apply anti-dumping regulations," she said as quoted by Antara state news agency.

Through direct communication, Halida said a common understanding about international trade competition issues could be realized. She said that KADI would carry out similar activities in a number of areas to make people aware of its existence.

"Compared with other countries such as India, the number of dumping cases allegedly committed by Indonesia is small because India is accused of having committed 372 dumping acts during the same period," Halida said.
