NOTES
Note 1
As a result of a request to review the orders made by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal on certain hot-rolled carbon st eel plate, the Tribunal
initiated an interim review on May 7, 2003.  The Tribunal indicated that it would make a decision on whether to amend its order s no later than June 26,
2003.
On June 13, 2003, the Commissioner of Customs and Revenue initiated an investigation into the alleged dumping of certain hot-ro lled carbon steel plate
from Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Romania.  Subsequently, the Tribunal initiated, on June 16, 2003, a preliminary injury inquir y to determine whether
the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of  the subject carbon steel plate has caused material injury or  retardation or is threatening
to cause material injury to the Canadian industry. As the Tribun al would be examining issues in the preliminary injury inquiry similar to those raised in
this interim review, the Tribunal has decided to suspend the in terim review.  The Tribunal will recommence its interim review a t a date to be determined.G/SCM/N/98/CAN
