WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The Commerce Department announced Friday a
preliminary finding that imports of Atlantic salmon from Norway are
being subsidized and directed the U.S. Customs Service to impose cash
deposits or bonds on the fish. Norway gives its whole or nearly
whole salmon exports a 2.45 percent subsidy, the department said.
The Commerce Department's International Trade Administration will
make a final determination in the case by Sept. 4. If that
determination supports the preliminary finding, the International Trade
Commission must determine within 45 days whether the imports
"materially injure or threaten injury" to the U.S. salmon industry.
A determination of injury can lead to the imposition of
countervailing duties.

Date: 28 Feb 92 17:33:53 GMT Sender: [email protected] Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign >...I was not aware of a problem between us and Norway. Please >elaborate .... A basic example is that of Norwegian Salmon. Although there is no real `trade barrier', various restrictions that from Norway's point of view are lousy excuses are placed on the sale of Salmon to the U.S. A typical example was the immediate bans placed on it after Chernobyl, regardless of assurances from the Norwegian government that all exports were thorougly tested. It also works the other way around: the U.S. threatening restrictions on imports from Norway unless Norway buys more of their apples, and so on. It is quite amusing to follow the discussions on U.S. `fair trade' with Japan, knowing that they turn around and do the same thing to other (smaller) countries. The best indication I know that the U.S. is totally dependent on their own unfair trade is their unwillingness to `go metric' - if they really wanted to compete with foreign companies on a fair basis, they would long since have attempted to switch. -- ****************************************************************** * Gunnar Blix * Good advice is one of those insults that * * [email protected] * ought to be forgiven. -Unknown * ****************************************************************** | |||||
