Expiry Review No.: RR-2005-002
Hot-Rolled Steel Sheet
On November 30, 2005, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal), pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiated an expiry review of its finding made on August 17, 2001, in Inquiry No. NQ-2001-001, concerning certain flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip originating in or exported from Brazil, Bulgaria, the People's Republic of China, Chinese Taipei, India, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, South Africa, Ukraine and Serbia and Montenegro (formerly the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), and the subsidizing of certain flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip originating in or exported from India. As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (the President) initiated an investigation on December 1, 2005, to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping (and in the case of India, subsidizing as well) of the goods.
The investigation has now been completed and today, pursuant to paragraph 76.03(7)(a) of SIMA, the President has determined that the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods from Brazil, the People's Republic of China, Chinese Taipei, India, South Africa and Ukraine; and also likely to result in the continuation or resumption of subsidizing from India. Furthermore, the President has determined that the expiry of the finding is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods from Bulgaria, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro (formerly the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).
A Statement of Reasons containing additional details concerning the determination made by the President will be issued within fifteen days. The Statement of Reasons will be posted at the following Web site: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/er-rre/menu-eng.html.
The Tribunal will now conduct an inquiry to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in injury or retardation to the Canadian industry, and will make its decision by August 16, 2006.
