One entry found for subsidy.

Main Entry: sub·si·dy
Pronunciation: 's&b-s&-dE, -z&-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -dies
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin subsidium reserve troops, support, assistance, from sub- near + sedEre to sit -- more at SUB-, SIT
Date: 14th century
: a grant or gift of money: as a : a sum of money formerly granted by the British Parliament to the crown and raised by special taxation b : money granted by one state to another c : a grant by a government to a private person or company to assist an enterprise deemed advantageous to the public

When your government freely chooses a rate for stumpage and that rate is higher than what some other government decides is appropriate for their circumstances one cannot come to the conclusion that the other government is providing a subsidy. That is just plain stupid.
