Download as PDF 52996 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 6, 2005 / Notices SUMMARY OF REASONS AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR U.S. REQUEST FOR CONSULTATIONS WITH CHINA PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 242 OF THE REPORT OF THE WORKING PARTY ON THE ACCESSION OF CHINA TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION Other Synthetic Filament Fabric Category 620 The United States believes that imports of Chinese-origin other synthetic filament fabric are, due to the existence of market disruption, threatening to impede the orderly development of trade in these products. Further, the United States believes that imports of Chinese-origin other synthetic filament fabric are, due to the threat of market disruption, threatening to impede the orderly development of trade in these products. Either finding supports a request for consultations with the Government of the People’s Republic of China under Paragraph 242 of the Report of the Working Party on the Accession of China to the World Trade Organization (‘‘Paragraph 242’’). The following facts, and others contained in this Statement, support these beliefs: U.S. Imports from China Are Increasing Rapidly in Absolute Terms. U.S. imports of other synthetic filament fabric from China were 5,895,247 square meters for the entire twelve months of 2004. In the period January-June 2005, U.S. imports from China increased to 39,973,330 square meters, an increase of 1,185 percent from the January-June 2004 level. U.S. Imports from the World Are Increasing Rapidly in Absolute Terms. U.S. imports of other synthetic filament fabric from all sources increased from 135,921 thousand square meters in January-June 2004 to 256,020 thousand square meters in January-June 2005 - an increase of 88 percent. Over thirty percent of this increase was attributable to imports from China. The Average Unit Value of Imports from China Is Falling in 2005. In 2004, the average unit value of U.S. other synthetic filament fabric imports from China was US$2.36 per square meter. In the period January-June 2005, the average unit value of those imports fell to US$0.70 per square meter compared to US$0.77 per square meter for ‘‘rest of world’’ imports. The U.S. Other Synthetic Filament Fabric Industry is Vulnerable to Increasing Imports. U.S. production fell by 13 percent between the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, while the share of the market held by U.S. producers fell by 15 percentage points during this period.
