The Cabinet committee on Tariffs and Related Matters (TRM) has rejected the
petition of midstream steel producers to lower the duty on steel products,
effectively pre-empting today's public hearing on steel tariffs.

During its meeting this week, the Cabinet committee decided to maintain tariffs
on steel products at seven percent as government struggles to protect local
midstream producers.

Trade and Industry Secretary Manuel Roxas II told reporters yesterday that the
committee had decided that tariffs on steel products would stay at seven
percent.
