Lumber Trade Alliance

The Canadian lumber industry hailed a decision today from the World Trade Organization (WTO) as an unambiguous and complete victory for Canada. The WTO Panel ruled in Canada’s favour on every key issue that Canada raised and said that the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) failed to prove not only that lumber imports from Canada would increase substantially but also that any increase would threaten to injure U.S. producers.
The Panel ruling was distributed to parties on December 19, 2003 but the report was made public today.
