Canada starts AD review on plates from Romania, Czech and Bulgaria

On April 23rd 2008, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act, initiated an expiry review of its finding made on January 9, 2004 in Inquiry No. NQ-2003-002 concerning hot rolled carbon steel plate and high strength low alloy steel plate originating in or exported from the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania.

As a result, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency initiated an investigation on April 24th 2008, to determine whether the expiry of the finding is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.
