Ett-UMlsttr Farming, Saturday, 'August l ls,' 1987 1 DES MOINES. IA An amendment to the 1930 Tariff Act, initiated by the National Pork Pro ducers Council (NPPC), is included in the trade bill passed by the U.S. Senate. The amendment is designed to make it easier in the future for a commodity group, such as pork producers, to obtain meaningful relief from unfair trade practices. The amendment would codify the rule applied by the Department of Commerce in certain cases involving agricultural subsidies, under which countervailing duties may be imposed on imports of pro cessed agricultural products when subsidies are determined to have been paid to the producers of the raw commodity from which the processed products were derived. If the amendment had been on the books when the National Pork Producers Council successfully obtained a countervailing duty on subsidized Canadian hogs in 1985, the duty would most likely have been extended to Canadian pork Cumberland 4-H Swine Roundup The 1987 Cumberland County 4-H Swine Roundup and Sale will be held on Tuesday, August 18, at the Carlisle Livestock Market.

Instead, the Inter national Trade Commission ruled out the inclusion of pork products, and an appeal of that ruling to the U.S. Court of International Trade was recently dismissed. NPPC president Tom Miller said, “the amendment which has now passed both Houses of Con gress would establish a more rea listic definition of when raw agri cultural commodities and the pro cessed products derived from them should be considered a continous line of production.” The amendment received wide spread bi-partisan support in the Congress and has the support of the Reagan administration. How ever, the President has indicated he would probably veto the trade bill as it is now written because of other aspects of the wide-ranging measure which he considers protectionist.
