6. Initiation of Reassessment
546. Section 14(6) of the Act provides for anti-dumping duties to be reassessed following the completion of a review:
(6) The [Chief Executive] may initiate a reassessment of any rate or amount of anti-dumping…duty determined under subsection (4) of this section, including any elements of any formula used to establish such a rate or amount,-
…
(c) Following the completion of a review carried out under subsection (8) of this section-and the Minister may determine a new rate or amount in accordance with subsection (4) of this section, and, in that event, shall give notice of the new rate or amount.
547. The Investigating Team has re-calculated normal values, export prices and the corresponding dumping margins in the course of the review. These amounts were different from those upon which the current anti-dumping duties were calculated. Therefore, given the scheme and purpose of the Act and the Agreement, namely that anti-dumping duties should not exceed the established dumping margins, the level of the current anti-dumping duties need to be assessed as to whether it is appropriate for them to remain at their current level or if the rates should change.
548. The Investigating team concludes that a reassessment should be initiated immediately following the completion of this review. The duties section of this report constitutes an Interim Report for such a reassessment.
