The purpose of the inquiry reported in this document was to determine whether the increased imports of any of nine steel products since 1996 were a principal cause of serious injury, or a threat of serious injury, to Canadian steel producers. Over 175 parties participated in the inquiry, including Canadian & foreign steel producers, steel importers & users, union representatives, and the Commissioner of Competition. The inquiry tribunal conducted two separate hearings, the first concerning injury and the second concerning remedies. The first five chapters provide information on the conduct of the inquiry, its international context, the goods covered by the inquiry, and the inquiry's legal framework. Chapters 5 to 8 provide reasons for the tribunal's determinations on injury for discrete plate steel, hot- & cold-rolled sheet & coil, corrosion-resistant sheet & coil, hot-rolled bars, angles & shapes & sections, cold-drawn & finished bars & rods, reinforcing bars, and standard pipe. The final section makes recommendations on appropriate remedies.

This conference met to discuss implications of the growing service sector, with the larger goal of identifying frameworks for policies to support an efficient and expanding system for production and exchange of services domestically and internationally.

In this new revolution, computers, factory robots, and completely automated factories are rapidly reducing the need for physi cal labor in production. At the same time, sophisticated agricultural machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, and biogenetic engineer...
Technical standards are increasingly determining the development, production, trade in and marketing of goods and services. In order to ensure that technical regulations and product standards which vary from country to country do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade was adopted during the Uruguay Round. It is paralleled by the Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures which sets out the basic rules on how governments can apply food safety as well as animal and plant health measures without, however, using them as an excuse for protecting domestic producers. Prominent decisions under the WTO Dispute Settlement have interpreted those pro...
