Anti-dumping Duties: Notice That Anti-dumping Duties on Canned Peaches From Greece May Cease to Apply

Under section 14(9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 ("the Act"), anti-dumping duties imposed on canned peaches (halves, slices and pieces) packed in retail sized cans* from Greece will cease to apply to those goods on 15 December 2008 unless, at that date, the goods are subject to review under section 14(8) of the Act.

Any interested party that might request the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Economic Development to initiate a review before the cessation date referred to above, should be aware that positive evidence justifying the need for a review must be provided to the chief executive.

If an application is received which provides positive evidence justifying the need for a review, the chief executive must undertake and complete a review investigation within 180 days of initiation, on whether the anti-dumping duties should continue to be applied.

Positive evidence justifying the need for a review would need to include reasons for believing that the expiry of anti-dumping duties would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping of canned peaches from Greece and of material injury to the New Zealand industry producing canned peaches.

The reasons should be supported by evidence and not based on mere allegations or assertions.

Countervailing Duties: Notice that Countervailing Duties on Canned Peaches From the European Union May Cease to Apply

Under section 14(9) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 ("the Act"), countervailing duties imposed on canned peaches (halves, slices and pieces) packed in retail sized cans* from the European Union will cease to apply to those goods on 15 December 2008 unless, at that date, the goods are subject to review under section 14(8) of the Act.

Any interested party that might request the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Economic Development to initiate a review before the cessation date referred to above, should be aware that positive evidence justifying the need for a review must be provided to the chief executive.

If an application is received which provides positive evidence justifying the need for a review, the chief executive must undertake and complete a review investigation within 180 days of initiation, on whether the countervailing duties should continue to be applied.

Positive evidence justifying the need for a review would need to include reasons for believing that the expiry of countervailing duties would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of subsidisation of canned peaches from the European Union and of material injury to the New Zealand industry producing canned peaches.

The reasons should be supported by evidence and not based on mere allegations or assertions.
