[Title] => Galvanizers seek cut in tariff duty on cold rolled steel coils
[Summary] => The Filipino Galvanizers Institute (FGI) is seeking a reduction of the tariff duty on cold rolled steel coils (CRC) from the current seven percent to zero percent.

In fact, the FGI revealed, GSII has canceled orders booked by local galvanizers.

[Summary] => The Filipino Galvanizers Institute (FGI) appealed to President Arroyo yesterday to review if not revoke what they describe as an anomalous executive order issued by her deposed predecessor that favors one company to the detriment of the entire steel industry.
The FGI, composed of eight major galvanizers, said EO 237 issued by former President Estrada unjustly favored Steel Corp. since it allowed the firm to secure a highly questionable zero tariff incentive on its hot rolled coil (HRC) importation.
