On March 17, 2006, the International Trade Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the “ITC”) made an affirmative determination in a product-specific safeguard investigation concerning certain Towelling Products from Mainland China.
According to the affirmative determination, the ITC found that certain Towelling Products from Mainland China are being imported into Taiwan in such quantities or under such conditions so as to cause market disruption of the domestic prducers of like or directly competitive products.
As a result of the affirmative determination, the Commission shall, within 30 days from the date the determination is made, hold a hearing on the import relief measures it intends to adopt, and thereafter submit to the Ministry of Economic Affairs a recommendation as to whether import relief measures shall be adopted.
