Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Office of the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") is providing notice that, on August 19, 2002, the United States received a request from the Government of Canada for the establishment of a dispute settlement panel under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization ("WTO Agreement") regarding the U.S. Department of Commerce ("DOC") final countervailing duty determination concerning certain softwood lumber from Canada. The panel was established on October 1, 2002. Canada alleges that the initiation and conduct of the countervailing duty investigation, the final determination, the provision of expedited and administrative reviews, and related matters are inconsistent with various provisions of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures ("SCM Agreement") and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("GATT 1994"). USTR invites written comments from the public concerning the issues raised in this dispute.
