Some supporters state CDSOA helps U.S. companies compete in the face of continuing unfair trade. Some opponents believe CDSOA recipients receive a large, unjustified windfall from the U.S. treasury. Also, 11 World Trade Organization (WTO) members lodged a complaint over the law at the WTO. This report assesses (1) key legal requirements guiding and affecting agency implementation of CDSOA; (2) problems, if any, U.S. agencies have faced in implementing CDSOA; and (3) which companies have received CDSOA payments and their effects for recipients and non-recipients; and describes (4) the status of WTO decisions on CDSOA. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-979/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-979.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-979/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-979.pdf GAO-05-979 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-979 Other Written Product GAO-05-979; International Trade: Issues and Effects of Implementing the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act; Eligibility criteria International law International organizations International trade International trade regulation Payments Claims processing Eligibility determinations Federal law Volume 114 Page 1549 Volume 114 Page 1549A-72 114 Stat. 1549 114 Stat. 1549A-72 Volume 118 Page 2809 118 Stat. 2809 Public Law 108-447
