S. Korea calls on Canada to lift safeguard measure on steel

  • 6 years ago
South Korea has called on Canada to stop its safeguard measures,.... which temporarily put a quota on Korea's steel exports.
At a public hearing at the Canadian International Trade Tribunal in Ottawa on Thursday local time,.... Korea's trade ministry expressed concerns over Canada's provisional safeguard measures on some foreign steel.
Those measures went into effect last October in the face of U.S. metal levies.
The Korean government claims that the provisional measures,... which run through May this year,.... hurt free trade and do not meet the criteria set by the World Trade Organization.
In 2018, South Korea shipped 6-hundred-20-thousand tons of steel to Canada,.... accounting for two percent of the Korea's total steel exports.
