Los subsidios gubernamentales como practicas desleales del comercio internacional

Abstract

State subsidies are referred to as any kind of support, incentive scheme, bonus or economic benefit directly or indirectly granted by the State to national producers, manufacturers, and exporters in order to both boost national industry and artificially place it on foreign markets under competitive conditions by manipulating the cutback or the savings, derived from state support, on production costs of the respective goods. The characteristics of a subsidy are the following: (a) it can be any kind of support, a bonus, an incentive, or an economic benefit; (b) it is granted by the State; (c) the State grants it directly or indirectly; (d) it must be granted to national producers, manufacturers, or exporters; (e) it basically aims at boosting and developing national industry; and (f) this boost is achieved by artificially placing national industry on foreign markets under competitive conditions.
