Notice of Expiry No. LE-2002-002, issued on October
28, 2002, informed interested persons and governments
of the impending expiry of the findings. On the
basis of available information, including representations
requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry
review and responses to these representations received
by the Tribunal in reply to the notice, the Tribunal
is of the opinion that a review of the findings
is warranted. The Tribunal has notified the Commissioner
of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the Commissioner),
as well as other interested persons and governments,
of its decision.
The Tribunal has issued a Draft Guideline on Expiry
Reviews that can be found on the Tribunal's Web
site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In these expiry review
proceedings, the Commissioner must determine whether
the expiry of the findings in respect of certain
stainless steel round bar is likely to result in
the continuation or resumption of dumping of the
goods.
If the Commissioner determines that the expiry
of the findings in respect of any goods is likely
to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping,
the Commissioner will provide the Tribunal with
the information that is required under the Canadian
International Trade Tribunal Rules. The Tribunal
will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the
continued or resumed dumping is likely to result
in material injury or retardation.
