SUMMARY REPORT
OF THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION |
SUMMARY REPORT OF THE FORMAL
INVESTIGATION
BY THE TARIFF COMMISSION ON THE PETITION OF THE DOMESTIC
TESTLINER BOARD INDUSTRY AS REPRESENTED BY UNITED PULP AND
PAPER CO. INC. (UPPC) FOR THE IMPOSITION OF GENERAL
SAFEGUARD MEASURE AGAINST IMPORTS OF TESTLINER BOARDS FROM
VARIOUS COUNTRIES (S.G. INV. NO. 01-2010) PURSUANT TO R.A.
NO. 8800
In
accordance with Section 14 of R.A. No. 8800 (“Safeguard
Measures Act”), the Tariff Commission hereby causes the
publication of the summary of findings and conclusions, as
well as the recommendation on the above-cited investigation
which was concluded on November 24, 2010, the date of
receipt by the Office of the Secretary of Trade and Industry
of the Formal Investigation Report and recommendation
(confidential and public versions).
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The
Commission concludes that, in accordance with RA 8800 and
the WTO Agreement on Safeguards.
1. The domestic industry accounted for 63% of the
total domestic production of testliner boards from 2004 to
2009.
2.
Locally produced testliner board regardless of the
weight in grams per square meter is a like product to
imported
testliner board.
3. Testliner board was imported in significantly
increased quantities, both in absolute terms and relative to
domestic production, from 2005 through 2008. Imports
peaked in the first six (6) months of 2010.
4.
The domestic testliner board industry suffered and is
suffering significant impairment in its overall condition in
terms of shrinking market share; declining production and
sales; underutilization of rated capacity; and operating
losses.
5.
While there were other factors that contributed to
the impairment of the overall condition of the domestic
industry, increased importations of testliner board were the
substantial cause of the serious injury to the domestic
industry.
RECOMMENDATION:
The
Commission recommends a specific duty of P1,342/MT as
the form of the definitive safeguard measure. The duty was
calculated by comparing the weighted average landed cost of
imported testliner board with the weighted average domestic
selling prices of the locally produced counterpart. The
Commission took into consideration the most recent data
available, i.e., from 2008 to June 2010 which is the last
three (3) years of the POI.

PRESS RELEASE ON SOCIALIZATION FORUMS ON COMPETITION
POLICY |
PRESS RELEASE
The Philippines will jointly host the
ASEAN Experts Group on Competition (AEGC) Forum for the
“ASEAN Regional Guidelines on Competition Policy”
and the “Handbook on
Competition Policy and Law in ASEAN for Business”
on 12 November 2010 to be held at Mactan Function
Room, Edsa Shangri-la Hotel starting at 8:30 a.m.
The said event forms part of a series of
socialization forums in each ASEAN Member State (AMS)
scheduled in October and November 2010, for outreach and
promotion purposes, after the launching of the ASEAN
Regional Guidelines and Handbook on CPL in Da Nang, Vietnam
on 24 August 2010.
The Regional Guidelines aims to achieve the goal
of ensuring ASEAN as a highly competitive economic region,
as envisioned in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)
Blueprint, as AMSs endeavour to introduce, implement, and
develop CPL by 2015. On the other hand, the Handbook has
been developed to provide basic notions of substantive and
procedural competition law applicable in AMSs, in a language
easily understandable to regional and transnational
businesses engaged in commercial activities and services in
the ASEAN region, and to SMEs which are contemplating on
expanding their businesses in the region.
The forum will be attended by delegates from the nine (9)
AMSs; Philippine Executive, Legislative, and Judicial
Departments; business groups; academe; and media.
The event is organized by AEGC, ASEAN Secretariat and the
Philippines Tariff Commission, with funding support from
InWEnt (Capacity Building International, Germany).

CLARIFICATION
ON THE APPLICABLE RATES OF DUTY ON PRODUCTS ORIGINATING FROM
CLMV (CAMBODIA, LAOS, MYANMAR AND VIETNAM) UNDER THE CEPT/ATIGA
Executive Order 850, issued on 23 December 2009, took effect
on 01 January 2010. EO 850 was issued in order to implement
the Philippines’ commitment to eliminate the tariff rates on
the remaining products in the Inclusion List in year 2010
under the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme
for the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA/ASEAN Trade in Goods
Agreement (ATIGA).
Under
Article 19 (Reduction or Elimination of Import Duties) of
ATIGA, Member States agreed, among others, to eliminate
import duties on all products in their Inclusion Lists by
2010 for ASEAN-6 (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines,
Thailand and Singapore) and by 2015 for CLMV with
flexibility to 2018, in accordance with agreed modalities.
Under
the reciprocity principle (Article 22 – Enjoyment of
Concessions), products on which tariffs of the exporting
Member State have reached or are at the rate of twenty
percent (20%) or below, and satisfy the requirements on
rules of origin shall automatically enjoy the concessions
offered by importing Member States in accordance with the
provisions of Article 19.
Thus,
exports to the Philippines of products originating from
other Member States, including CLMV, are entitled to avail
of the Philippines’ CEPT/ATIGA zero duty provided that the
CEPT/ATIGA duty of that exporting Member State is 20% or
below.

PRESS RELEASE
(Public Hearing on November 4, 2009) |
PRESS RELEASE
TC SECTION 401/402 PUBLIC HEARING/CONSULTATION SLATED
ON NOVEMBER 4, 2009
The Tariff Commission (TC) will conduct Section
401/402 public hearing/consultation on
November 4, 2009
on the petition of Petron Corporation for (1) the exclusion
or suspension of crude oil and petroleum products from the
coverage of ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) and the
ASEAN-Korea Free Trade Area (AKFTA), or (2) the reduction of
Most-Favored-Nation rate of duty from 3% to zero on imports
of crude oil and petroleum products. Likewise, Petron
requests that the 1% rate of duty on fuel ethanol
(implemented under EO 449 signed on July 22, 2005) be
reduced to zero. The impact on the downstream oil industry
of the full implementation of the zero rate of duty under
the AFTA-CEPT in January 2010 and Korea’s implementation of
the zero rate of duty on goods traded under the ASEAN-Korea
Free Trade Agreement (AKFTA) between 2010 and 2012 prompted
the petitioner to file for Section 401/402 petition.
Also on the same day, the Commission will hear
the request from the Ethanol Producers Association of the
Philippines (EPAP) to create or extract a separate tariff
line for Anhydrous Ethanol (in accordance with the
Philippine National Standard) for use as fuel in an internal
combustion engine or for motive power at a proposed rate of
duty of 20%. This is in line with the objective of
attracting investors in the area of fuel ethanol production
and assure them of tariff protection to this new industry.
The request of the Philippine Fishing Gear
Industries, Inc. to reduce the tariff rate on Polyamide 6
Resin (Nylon Chip) from 10% to 0% rate of duty will also be
considered during the hearing. According to the petitioner,
subject article, being not locally produced, is a main
component in the production of other needed raw materials
(Nylon Monofilament and Multifilament Yarns) to produce
Nylon Fish Nets and Twines.
The said public hearing/consultation starts at
9:00 a.m. at the TC Conference Room, 5th Floor,
Philippine Heart Center Building, East Avenue, Quezon City.
