 CODES AND NOTATIONS  
 
 Provisional Measures  (Column 4): Provisional measures apply from the date of a preliminary determination of subsidizing to the date on which the Ca nadian International Trade Tribunal 
makes its finding regarding injury caused to the Canadian indus try (maximum 120 days from the no tice of the pre liminary determi nation).  The estimated amount of the subsidy is normally 
expressed as an amount per unit. 
  Definitive Duties  (Column 5): Either the date of a positive injury finding, in the case of an investigation, or the date of the conclusion of a review of injury; or the date of the conclusion of a 
review of the amount of subsid y in cases where there is an existing Canadian  International Trade Tribunal finding of injury. 
 
 Total Trade Volume  (Column 11): The total trade volume is based on statistical data for the latest available 12 month period prior to the initiat ion, unless otherwise indicated. 
 
 Interim Review :  An interim review is a review that is initiated where ther e is a reasonable indication that sufficient new facts have arisen  or that there has been a sufficient change in the 
circumstances that led to the measure, or  where there are sufficient fa cts that, although in existence,  were not put into evide nce during the previous review or investigation and were not 
discoverable by the exercise of reasonable diligence at that time.
