EXPIRY OF ORDER

Tillage Tools

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that its order made on November 23, 1993, in Review No. RR-93-001, continuing, without amendment, the review finding of the Canadian Import Tribunal made on November 24, 1988, in Review No. R-9-88, continuing, without amendment, the finding of the Anti-dumping Tribunal made on December 28, 1983, in Inquiry No. ADT-11-83, concerning deep tillage sweeps, field cultivator sweeps, reversible points, reversible heavy duty chisels, reversible twisted chisels and reversible furrow shovels, known as tillage or earth engaging tools, used on chisel plows and field cultivators, originating in or exported from Brazil, is scheduled to expire on November 23, 1998 (Expiry No. LE-97-007). Under the Special Import Measures Act, findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire in five years from the date of the last order or finding unless a review has been initiated. A review will not be initiated unless the Tribunal decides that there is sufficient information to indicate that a review is warranted.

Persons or governments requesting or opposing the initiation of a review of the said order, pursuant to subsection 76(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, should file ten copies of written public submissions containing relevant information, opinions and arguments with the Secretary of the Tribunal not later than March 30, 1998. Persons or governments should endeavour to base their submissions exclusively on public information; however, confidential information relevant to the issues before the Tribunal may be filed if necessary, along with a comprehensive public summary or edited version thereof.

Submissions should address all relevant factors, including:

— the likelihood of the continuation or the resumption of dumped imports if the order were allowed to expire, with supporting information, including information relating to exporters in Brazil with regard to their activities in the Canadian market, their domestic market and other markets;

— the likely volumes and price ranges of dumped imports if they were to continue or to resume;

— the domestic industry's performance since the order, including trends in its production, sales, market share and profits;

— the likelihood of material injury to the domestic industry if the order were allowed to expire, having regard to the anticipated effects of a resumption of dumped imports on the industry's future performance;

— other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the performance of the domestic industry; and

— any other change in circumstances, domestically or internationally, including changes in the supply and demand for tillage tools, as well as changes in trends and sources of imports into Canada.

Where there are opposing views, each person or government who filed a submission in response to the notice of expiry will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the representations of other persons or governments. In these circumstances, the Tribunal will distribute copies of the public submissions to each person or government who filed a submission with the Tribunal. Those persons or governments will have one week to respond in writing to the submissions. If confidential submissions have been filed, the Secretary will notify persons or governments on how they may access these submissions through qualified counsel.

The purpose of a review is to determine whether an order or finding should be continued, with or without amendment, or rescinded. If the Tribunal decides that a review is not warranted, an order, with reasons, will be issued. An order or finding will expire unless a review is initiated before its expiry date.

If the Tribunal decides to initiate a review, it will issue a notice of review with all relevant information regarding the proceeding. The Tribunal will publish the notice in the Canada Gazette and send it to all persons or governments known to the Tribunal as having an interest in the review, who will then have an opportunity to participate in the review.

Written submissions, correspondence or requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to: The Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, (613) 993-3595 (Telephone), (613) 990-2439 (Facsimile).

Written or oral communications to the Tribunal may be made in English or in French.
