            IN THE MATTER OF an inquiry, under section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, respecting:

 

THE DUMPING OF COPPER ROD ORIGINATING IN OR EXPORTED FROM BRAZIL AND THE       RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND THE SUBSIDIZING OF COPPER ROD ORIGINATING IN OR       EXPORTED FROM BRAZIL

 

FINDING

 

            The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, has conducted an inquiry to determine whether the dumping of copper rod with a diameter of at least 6 mm but not exceeding 11 mm, made to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) designation B 49 or equivalent (copper rod), originating in or exported from Brazil and the Russian Federation and the subsidizing of copper rod originating or exported from Brazil have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury.

 

            This inquiry is pursuant to the issuance by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency of a preliminary determination dated November 28, 2006, and of a final determination dated February 26, 2007, that copper rod originating in or exported from Brazil and the Russian Federation has been dumped and, in the case of Brazil, that copper rod has been subsidized, that the margins of dumping and the amount of subsidy on copper rod from the subject countries are not insignificant and that the volumes of dumped and subsidized copper rod are not negligible.

 

            Pursuant to subsection 43(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby finds that the dumping of copper rod originating in or exported from Brazil and the Russian Federation and the subsidizing of copper rod originating in or exported from Brazil have not caused injury and are not threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry.
