Abstract:
|
Since the late 1960s, the US steel industry has been asking for protection from
imports and subsidies to help alleviate its troubles. The US government has,
from time to time, announced various protectionist measures. In 2001, President
George W Bush announced his Steel Program. It consisted of three parts:
negotiations with trading partners to eliminate inefficient excess capacity in
the steel industry worldwide; negotiations with trading partners to eliminate
the distorting practices including subsidies that resulted in excess capacity;
and investigation under Section 201 to determine whether the industry was harmed
by low-priced steel imports.
|
|
After the investigation by the U.S.
International Trade Commission (USITC), in March 2002, the
President imposed tariff measures under Section 201 to help
domestic producers to compete with imported steel.
