                    [Title] => GI sheet makers seek more liberal standards
                    [Summary] => Nine local galvanized sheet makers have asked the government to adopt more liberal standards without necessarily compromising quality.


In a letter to Bureau of Product Standard director Jesus Motoomull, the GI-sheet makers stressed that the Philippines’ commitment to the World Trade Organization and to the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade mandates the adoption of a more liberal standard if they are to cushion the impact of liberalization.

                    [Summary] => A group of local GI sheet manufacturers has threatened to file a suit against the Tariff and Related Matters Committee of the National Economic and Development Authority (TRM-NEDA) for allegedly favoring one company to the prejudice of the entire industry.


The Filipino Galvanizers Institute Inc. (FGI) also accused TRM-NEDA of abuse of authority when it granted zero tariff incentive to Steel Corp. for the importation of hot rolled coils (HRC) to the detriment of the other industry players like them.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Bureau of Product Standards are now free to go after erring manufacturers and hardware stores as the Manila Regional Trial Court junked yesterday for lack of merit the petition filed by Sonic Steel Corp., Tower Steel Corp., Richardson Steel Corp. and Group Steel Corp.
