                    [Summary] => The government has decided to prioritize finished products in the review of the country’s Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff rates, with intermediate products and raw materials following in succession.


This was agreed upon by the Cabinet-level Trade and Related Matters (TRM) committee which has been tasked by President Arroyo to undertake the review, especially since the country’s MFN rates are scheduled to go down next year.

An MFN status carries privileges normally offered to World Trade Organization (WTO) members.

According to FPI’s position paper, the group supports Asahi Glass’ application for safeguard measures "because of the implication of this case for all Philippine industries, and not only for the glass industry."

The group said a decision in favor of Asahi Glass’ application would have "far reaching significance."

The MFN rates would apply to countries outside of the ASEAN Free Trade Area.

The Philippines is not confident that its industries can effectively compete with other countries, especially China.
