Canada gets clear victory over the U.S. in softwood duty ruling By Gordon Hamilton, Vancouver Sun
But the American lumber industry says the Canadian win is only a setback and that even if it takes three, four or five attempts, they intend to keep fighting until they get an acceptable ruling.
And the U.S. government has already indicated it intends to file an extraordinary challenge over allegations of conflict of interest raised by the U.S. lumber lobby against one of the three Americans on the five-member panel that delivered Thursday's ruling, further muddying the complex trade case.
This latest ruling found -- for the second time -- that Canadian lumber imports pose no threat of injury to the U.S. sawmilling industry.
The NAFTA panel stated that the U.S. International Trade Commission, which made the determination that Canadian imports pose a threat of injury, 'is not in accordance with the law and is not supported by substantial evidence.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:40 AM :: reference link ::
