The ITC of MOEA is instituting the remand proceeding of the injury investigation of a changed circumstance review concerning the antidumping duty order on Art Paper on July 20,2007, directed by a court-ordered remand. On May 6, 2003, the Ministry of Finance ("MOF") decided that the imposition of the antidumping duty order on imports of Art Paper from Japan shall continue due to no positive evidence of the lapse or change of the findings, following the affirmative determinations both by the MOF and the MOEA, pursuant to the Implementation Regulation on the Imposition of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties. An importer filed an administrative litigation against the MOF"s decision to the Taipei High Administrative Court, which subsequently affirmed in part and remanded in part. For the remand order, the MOF appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court. On April 30, 2007, the Supreme Administrative Court upheld the Taipei High Administrative Court"s remand order. Accordingly, the ITC of MOEA should conduct the remand proceeding of the injury investigation on whether the situations of injury to the domestic industry have lapsed or change, based on the instruction directed by the court. To comply with the remand order, the ITC of MOEA decided to reopen the record and to seek information on subject imports during the period of investigation. The remand proceeding will be concluded within a period of 9 months beginning July 20, 2007. Such period may be extended; however, the investigation shall normally be concluded within 12 months, where necessary. In order to proceed with the injury investigation, the ITC of MOEA will request the known interested parties to provide relevant information, hold hearings, and disclose the essential facts that form the basis for a remand determination.
