Notice of Commencement of Preliminary Injury Inquiry re Grain Corn

Notice was received by the CITT on 9 August 2000 stating that the CCRA Commissioner had initiated an investigation into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing in Canada of grain corn in all forms, excluding white dent corn imported by snack food and tortilla manufacturers for use by them in the manufacture of snack food and tortillas, seed corn (used for reproductive purposes), sweet corn, and popping corn, originating in or exported from the US and imported into Canada for use or consumption west of the Manitoba/Ontario border.

Pursuant to section 34(2) of the SIMA, the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused material injury or retardation or are threatening to cause material injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal's inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before August 25, 2000. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before August 25, 2000.

On August 31 the CITT will distribute the public information received from the Commissioner to all parties that filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed on or before September 11, 2000....
