SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment gives effect to the rights of Canada pursuant to the
Protocol on the Accession of the People's Republic of China to the
World Trade Organization that came into effect on December 11, 2001.
|
|
|
|
The enactment amends the Canadian International Trade Tribunal
Act, the Customs Tariff and the Export and Import Permits Act to
authorize the Governor in Council to impose, under certain conditions
and after an inquiry by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal,
special trade measures to protect Canadian industries from injury or
threat of injury that could be caused by imports from the People's
Republic of China. These special trade measures, called safeguards,
will be available until December 11, 2013.
|
|
|
|
The enactment also amends the Special Import Measures Act to
allow the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency greater flexibility in
conducting anti-dumping investigations related to imported Chinese
goods when the price or the cost of production of those goods in China
is not determined by market economy conditions.
