    Brazilian Orange Juice & U.S. “Free Trade”

    Surpresa tivemos quando a intenção de taxar foi divulgada, em fins de 2004. Agora ficamos frustrados porque a condenção foi decidida por um placar apertado, de 3 votos contra e 3 votos a favor. E, na legislação americana, o empate favorece o autor da ação. Mas o episódio também revela que o tema não está suficientemente claro para eles.

    ... queremos debater a tarifa de US$ 418 por tonelada e essa sobretaxa veio reforçar a necessidade de insistirmos numa negociação internacional, que é o caminho que a gente tem para ampliar os nosso mercados

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We were surprised when the intent of the tariff [60.29% ] was announced, at the end of 2004. Now, we are frustrated because was it decided by a tight vote , 3 votes against and 3 votes in favor. And, in the American legislation, the tie favos the authors of the action.

    … we want to discuss the $418 per ton [U.S.] tarrif and the supplemental tax, which reinforces the nessecity for international negociation, which is the direction we need to take to increase our market share.

    Ademerval Garcia, president Brazilian Association of Citrus Exporters (Abecitrus).
