EXPIRY REVIEW OF FINDING

Prepared Baby Foods

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that it will, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiate an expiry review (Expiry Review No. RR-2002-002) of its finding made on April 29, 1998, in Inquiry No. NQ-97-002, concerning prepared baby foods, containing finely homogenized vegetables, fruit and/or meat which may include some visible pieces of not more than 6.5 mm in size, and strained juice, put up for retail sale as food and beverages for infants of ages 4 to 18 months, in containers of a net volume not exceeding 250 ml, excluding organic baby food and frozen baby food preparations, originating in or exported from the United States of America.

Notice of Expiry No. LE-2002-001, issued on June 28, 2002, informed interested persons and governments of the impending expiry of the finding. On the basis of available information, including representations requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry review and responses to these representations received by the Tribunal in reply to the notice, the Tribunal is of the opinion that a review of the finding is warranted. The Tribunal has notified the Commissioner of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the Commissioner), as well as other interested persons and governments, of its decision.

The Tribunal has issued a Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews that can be found on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In this expiry review, the Commissioner must determine whether the expiry of the finding in respect of certain prepared baby foods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

If the Commissioner determines that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Commissioner will provide the Tribunal with the information that is required under the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules. The Tribunal will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in material injury or retardation.

If the Commissioner determines that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will not consider those goods in its subsequent determination of the likelihood of material injury or retardation and will issue an order rescinding the finding with respect to those goods.

The Commissioner must provide notice of his determination within 120 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal's decision to initiate an expiry review, that is, no later than December 17, 2002. The Commissioner will also notify all persons or governments that were notified by the Tribunal of the commencement of an expiry review, as well as any others that participated in the Commissioner's investigation.

Letters have been sent to parties with a known interest in the expiry review providing them with the schedule respecting both the Commissioner's investigation and the Tribunal's inquiry, should the Commissioner determine that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping.

Commissioner's Investigation

The Commissioner will conduct his investigation pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and the administrative guidelines set forth in the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate's publication entitled Guidelines on the Conduct of Expiry Review Investigations under the Special Import Measures Act. Any information submitted to the Commissioner by interested persons concerning this investigation is deemed to be public information unless clearly designated as confidential. Where the submission is confidential, a non-confidential edited version or summary of the submission must also be provided which will be disclosed to interested parties upon request.

With respect to the Commissioner's investigation, the schedule specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies to the expiry review questionnaires, the date on which the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) exhibits will be available to parties to the proceeding, the date on which the administrative record will be closed and the dates for the filing of submissions by parties in the proceeding. The Tribunal, on behalf of the Commissioner, has sent expiry review questionnaires to foreign producers and exporters, importers and domestic producers.

Tribunal's Inquiry

Should the Commissioner determine that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will conduct its inquiry, pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and its Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews, to determine if there is a likelihood of material injury or retardation. The schedule for the Tribunal's inquiry specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies by the domestic producers to Part E of the expiry review questionnaire, the date for the filing of replies to the Tribunal's market characteristics questionnaires, the date on which information on the record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties.

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why the information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential edited version or non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such an edited version or summary cannot be made.

Public Hearing

The Tribunal will hold a public hearing relating to this expiry review in the Tribunal Hearing Room, 18th floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing on March 3, 2003, at 9:30 a.m., to hear evidence and representations by interested parties.

Each interested person or government wishing to participate at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before December 30, 2002. Each counsel who intends to represent a party at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before December 30, 2002.

Safeguard Inquiry into the Importation of Certain Steel Goods

Notice is hereby given that, on August 19, 2002, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal submitted to the Governor in Council, pursuant to paragraph 20(a) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, its report entitled Safeguard Inquiry into the Importation of Certain Steel Goods (Reference No. GC-2001-001).

In accordance with the provisions of trade agreements to which Canada is a party, the Tribunal provides the following summary of its report and reasons for its determinations.

Introduction

On March 21, 2002, the Tribunal was directed by Order in Council to conduct a safeguard inquiry into the importation into Canada of certain steel goods. The steel goods subject to the inquiry were: discrete plate; hot-rolled sheet and coil; cold-rolled sheet and coil; corrosion-resistant sheet and coil; hot-rolled bars; angles, shapes and sections; cold-drawn and finished bars and rods; reinforcing bars; and standard pipe.

The purpose of the inquiry was to determine whether any of the goods subject to the inquiry "is being imported into Canada from all sources in such increased quantities since the beginning of 1996, and under such conditions, as to be a principal cause of serious injury or threat thereof to domestic producers of like or directly competitive goods". For any affirmative determinations, the Tribunal was directed to provide recommendations on the most appropriate remedy to address, over a period of three years, the injury caused or threatened to be caused by increased imports.

Determinations and Reasons

On July 4, 2002, the Tribunal determined that increased imports were a principal cause of serious injury to domestic producers of five of the nine steel goods covered by the inquiry. For all these goods, the Tribunal found that imports from Mexico, Israel or another Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement beneficiary, and Chile, were not contributing importantly to the serious injury. For four of the goods, the Tribunal found that increased imports from the United States contributed importantly to the serious injury. For the fifth good, reinforcing bars, the Tribunal found that increased imports from the United States were not contributing importantly to the serious injury.

For the other four steel goods, the Tribunal found that increased imports were not a principal cause of serious injury or threat of serious injury to domestic producers.

Table 1 lists the Tribunal's determinations concerning serious injury.

Discrete Plate

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 1998, and import volumes have remained high since 1998. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 1998 to 2001, and increased imports were the most important cause of that injury. Other factors that contributed to the injury included decreased demand for the goods due to economic factors, production problems and competition among domestic producers. However, none of these other factors was a more important cause of injury than the increased imports. Accordingly, the Tribunal found that increased imports were a principal cause of serious injury.

The United States is Canada's largest source of imports of discrete plate. In 2001, imports from the United States comprised 67 percent of imports of these goods and supplied 22 percent of Canada's total market demand. Imports from the United States contributed importantly to the serious injury experienced by the Canadian producers. Therefore, in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal included imports from the United States in its recommendations for safeguard relief.

Hot-rolled Sheet and Coil

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 2000. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 2000 and 2001, and increased imports caused part of this injury. However, decreased demand for these goods due to economic conditions was a more important cause of the injury. Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that increased imports were not a principal cause of serious injury. Other factors that contributed to the serious injury were decisions made by domestic producers on allocating production between internal processing and market demand, and competition among domestic producers.

The Tribunal also determined that the evidence did not demonstrate that increased imports are a principal cause of threat of serious injury.

Cold-rolled Sheet and Coil

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 1999 and 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 1999. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 1999 to 2001, and increased imports were the most important cause of that injury. Other factors that contributed to the injury included decreased demand for the goods due to economic factors, production problems, the financial problems of Algoma Steel Inc. and competition among domestic producers. However, none of these other factors was a more important cause of injury than the increased imports. Accordingly, the Tribunal found that increased imports were a principal cause of serious injury.

The United States is Canada's largest source of imports of cold-rolled sheet and coil. In 2001, imports from the United States comprised 79 percent of imports of these goods and supplied 20 percent of Canada's total market demand. Imports from the United States contributed importantly to the serious injury experienced by the Canadian producers. Therefore, in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal included imports from the United States in its recommendations for safeguard relief.

Corrosion-resistant Sheet and Coil

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 1999, and import volumes have remained high since 1999. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 1999 to 2001, and increased imports caused part of this injury. However, decreased demand for these goods due to economic conditions was a more important cause of the injury. Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that increased imports were not a principal cause of serious injury. Other factors that contributed to the serious injury were the inability of domestic producers to fully supply some existing customers during the period of peak demand, encouraging them to turn to imports, and competition among domestic producers.

The Tribunal also determined that the evidence did not demonstrate that increased imports are a principal cause of threat of serious injury.

Hot-rolled Bars

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 2000. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 2000 and 2001, and increased imports caused part of this injury. However, decreased demand for these goods due to economic conditions was a more important cause of the injury. Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that increased imports were not a principal cause of serious injury.

The Tribunal also determined that the evidence did not demonstrate that increased imports are a principal cause of threat of serious injury.

Angles, Shapes and Sections

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 1999 and 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 2000. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 1999 to 2001, and increased imports were the most important cause of that injury. Other factors that contributed to the injury included decreased domestic demand for the goods due to economic factors and inventory buildup by purchasers, a labour stoppage and financial problems at Co-Steel Lasco, a division of Co-Steel Inc., and decreased demand in export markets. However, none of these other factors was a more important cause of injury than the increased imports. Accordingly, the Tribunal found that increased imports were a principal cause of serious injury.

The United States is Canada's largest source of imports of angles, shapes and sections. In 2001, imports from the United States comprised 61 percent of imports of these goods and supplied 32 percent of Canada's total market demand. Imports from the United States contributed importantly to the serious injury experienced by the Canadian producers. Therefore, in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal included imports from the United States in its recommendations for safeguard relief.

Cold-drawn and Finished Bars and Rods

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 1999 and 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 2000. The domestic industry experienced some injury in 2001. However, the industry remains profitable despite the injury that it has suffered, and its financial returns are only somewhat less than in 1996. The Tribunal also noted that the domestic industry's financial returns would have been greater if its factory overhead had not increased significantly since 1996. International trade agreements provide that, to qualify for safeguard relief, the domestic industry must experience serious injury — injury so great that it causes significant overall impairment. The Tribunal determined that the injury experienced by the domestic industry was not sufficient to qualify for safeguard relief.

The Tribunal also determined that the evidence did not demonstrate that increased imports are a principal cause of threat of serious injury.

Reinforcing Bars

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 2000. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 2000 and 2001, and increased imports were the most important cause of that injury. Other factors that contributed to the injury included a work stoppage at Co-Steel Lasco and decreased demand for the goods due to a buildup of purchaser inventories. However, neither of these other factors was a more important cause of injury than the increased imports. Accordingly, the Tribunal found that increased imports were a principal cause of serious injury.

In 2001, imports from the United States comprised 36 percent of imports of reinforcing bars and supplied 15 percent of Canada's total market demand. However, a large proportion of imports from the United States were sold in the B.C. market, where domestic producers did not have a strong presence. Imports from the United States did not contribute importantly to the serious injury experienced by the Canadian producers. Therefore, in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal excluded imports from the United States from its recommendations for safeguard relief.

Standard Pipe

Significantly increased volumes of imports entered Canada in 1999 and 2000, and import volumes have remained high since 2000. The domestic industry experienced serious injury in 1999 to 2001, and increased imports were the most important cause of that injury. Other factors that contributed to the injury included industry production issues and financial difficulties of Stelpipe Ltd. However, neither of these other factors was a more important cause of injury than the increased imports. Accordingly, the Tribunal found that increased imports were a principal cause of serious injury.

The United States is Canada's largest source of imports of standard pipe. In 2001, imports from the United States comprised 61 percent of imports of these goods and supplied 49 percent of Canada's total market demand. Imports from the United States were an important cause of the serious injury experienced by the Canadian producers. Therefore, in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal included imports from the United States in its recommendations for safeguard relief.

Remedy Recommendations

The Order, at section 4, directs the Tribunal to provide recommendations as to the most appropriate remedy to address, over a period of three years, the serious injury caused by increased imports. The Order also directs the Tribunal to take account of Canada's obligation under the North American Free Trade Agreement and other international agreements.

The Tribunal sought the views of interested parties on this subject, requesting that they include them in their submissions prior to the injury hearing on June 10-28, 2002 and again prior to the Tribunal's remedy hearing on July 24-25, 2002.

In arriving at its recommendations on the most appropriate remedy, the Tribunal sought to establish a reasonable balance between the needs of the producers injured by increased imports and those of the downstream users of the goods. The Tribunal also sought to minimize the cost to the economy.

In four of the five cases where the Tribunal determined that increased imports had been a principal cause of serious injury, imports from the United States accounted for a substantial share of those increased imports and contributed importantly to the serious injury. Accordingly, the remedy for those goods covers imports from the United States.

The Tribunal considered all of the evidence and argument presented on the subject of remedies, including the suitability of all the types of remedies available. The Tribunal believes that a Tariff Rate Quota is the best remedy available to it to address the injury to the domestic producers while balancing the interests of downstream users and minimizing the cost to the economy.

The remedy proposed restores the volume of imports to a non-injurious level and includes an element of growth consistent with the actual growth of the market for that product during the period of inquiry. Beyond those volumes, the measure imposes a high tariff to preclude a recurrence of injurious import surges.

This remedy recognizes that under the North American Free Trade Agreement, the market for steel is integrated on a North American basis. Accordingly, it reserves a portion of the Tariff Rate Quota for imports from the United States. The Tariff Rate Quota provides for tariff free imports up to a volume the Tribunal held to be non-injurious, allowing market forces to continue to dictate the price for steel goods within this integrated market.

The remainder of the Tariff Rate Quota is open to all countries. This proposal allows the market to dictate the needed supply of goods and the pattern of trade. For imports from all sources, the Tariff Rate Quota is administered on a first-come-first-served basis.

For reinforcing bars, for which no remedy applies to imports from the United States, the Tribunal recommends a tariff as the most appropriate remedy.

Exclusions

In addition, the Order in Council directed the Tribunal to provide recommendations to exclude from any remedy goods that are not available from domestic producers. The Tribunal received 280 requests for exclusion concerning the above five goods. After considering the submissions of both the requesters and the domestic producers, the Tribunal recommended that the Government grant, in full or in part, 215 requests that certain goods be excluded from any safeguard remedy.

Developing Countries

The Tribunal also took into account Canada's obligations under international trade agreements, which require that imports from developing countries be excluded from safeguard remedies if certain criteria are met. Accordingly, the Tribunal recommended that imports from countries considered to be developing countries by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that meet these criteria be excluded from any safeguard remedy.

Review

The Tribunal also recommended that the Government periodically review these measures to ensure they are still appropriate, establish an ongoing process to handle requests for exclusions from the measures, monitor the excluded imports from our free trade partners, and monitor compliance of developing countries with the conditions of their exclusion.
