WTO hammers U.S. trade law once again Another victory for Canada in the softwood lumber dispute with the U.S. VANCOUVER, Jan. 16 /CNW/ - Canada's position in the ongoing softwood lumber dispute with the United States is being further strengthened by yet another favourable ruling from the World Trade Organization. The BC Lumber Trade Council, which represents companies responsible for almost half of Canada's softwood lumber shipments to the U.S., is welcoming the WTO Appellate Body's ruling on the so-called Byrd Amendment. "This is more than just another victory for Canada," said John Allan, President of the BC Lumber Trade Council. "This sends the signal to the U.S. that Canadian softwood producers have every right to free and unfettered access to the U.S. market," Allan said. Under the Byrd Amendment the millions of dollars in duties being paid by the Canadian softwood lumber industry for exports to the U.S. was to be distributed to the companies who filed the trade complaint with the U.S. Department of Commerce. "The WTO Appellate Body has recognized that the Byrd Amendment completely disregards international trade law. The Byrd Amendment is simply an act of protectionism by the U.S," Allan said. "The evidence is mounting that U.S. protectionist measures such as this will not stand up and that the U.S. must reach a fair and honorable resolution of this dispute with Canada, their largest trading partner," Allan said. The British Columbia Lumber Trade Council is the voice for BC companies involved in the $10 billion Canada-United States trade in softwood lumber. The Council supports and seeks free trade in softwood lumber with the United States.
