Editor's Message
 
Steel tariffs in USA - Welded steel pipes included
 
The hot news recently has been President Bush's approval for President
Bush's decision to impose tariffs on steel imports. This includes welded
steel pipes. White House is stating that "A tariff of 15 percent will be
imposed on imports of certain welded tubular products". Also, a tariff of
13 percent will be imposed on imports of carbon and alloy fittings and
flanges.
 
Not all in US agree this decision. American Institute for International
Steel had surprisingly hard criticism on this decision. The Europe
Union has made an official complaint to WTO about the US tariffs.
Also Australia and New Zealand has made the same. European Union
announced also that it may impose some other actions against US tariffs
within next 3 months. More information about this matter is
available on www.tubenet.org
 
We have a really hot potato here. TubeNet will follow the situation
carefully and inform all upcoming news on this matter. Below please
find the recent article from AIIS.
 
Cheers!
