NOTES 
 Note 1 
As a result of a request to review the orders made by the Ca nadian International Trade Tribunal on certain hot-rolled carbon st eel plate, the Tribunal initiated an interim 
review on 7 May 2003.  The Tribunal indicated that it would make a decision on whether to amend its orders no later than 26 Jun e 2003.   
 On 13 June 2003, the Commissioner of Customs and Revenue initiated an investigation into the alle ged dumping of certain hot-rol led carbon steel plate from Bulgaria, 
Czech Republic and Romania.  Su bsequently, the Trib unal initiated, on June 16, 2003, a pre liminary injury inquiry to determine whether the evidence discloses a 
reasonable indication that the dumping of th e subject carbon steel plate has caused materi al injury or retardation or is threat ening to cause material injury to the Canadian 
industry. As the Tribunal would be examining issues in the preliminary injury inquiry similar to those raised in this interim r eview, the Tribunal d ecided to suspend the 
interim review.  The Tribunal recommenced its interim review and, on 28 November 2003, concluded that the order should not be a mended.
