Canada Signs Softwood Deal

On August I, the U.S. and Canada signed a preliminary deal to end the softwood lumber trade dispute, even as final details were being hammered out while officials attended World Trade Organization talks in Geneva.

The seven-year deal, expected to take effect October l, reportedly does not impose a specific cap on Canadian softwood imports. Instead, Canada agreed to levy taxes on exports to the U.S. if the price of lumber drops beneath a certain level.

In exchange, the U.S. promised to return to Canadian manufacturers $4 billion of the estimated $5 billion in tariffs collected to date. Some of the remainder will go to a coalition of U.S. lumber manufacturers.

The U.S. hopes the deal will rvork to prevent Canada's share of the U.S. softwood lumber market from exceeding the current level of 347o.

The deal still must be ratified by the Canadian Parliament. rvhich resumes September 18. No such ratification is needed by the U.S. Congress.
