The amounts of subsidy established during this re-investigation will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the conclusion of the re investigation.

The European Commission will have the opportunity to submit information for the purpose of updating the amounts of subsidy for the goods in question.

Importers are cautioned that updated amounts of subsidy, when issued, may result in the assessment of higher countervailing duty. If the European Commission fails to provide satisfactory information to the CBSA, the amount of subsidy may be determined in accordance with a ministerial specification.
