                    [Summary] => The Fair Trade Alliance (FTA) slammed yesterday the en banc decision of the Supreme Court lifting the safeguard tariffs on imported cement.


According to Wigberto Tañada of the FTA, the SC ruling is "harsh" and "misinterprets the safeguard measures and the Constitution."

Tañada pointed out that the Constitution clearly states the need to protect local industries.

The SC ruling, Tanada said, "does not seem to recognize this (the need to protect local industries)."
