 | U.S. Trade Rep considering SLA complaint |
| U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said he will announce in about a month whether he will file a complaint against Canada for violating terms of the of Softwood Lumber Agreement. U.S. lumber interests have complained that the stumpage charges in British Columbia violate terms of the agreement. Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe has been pressing the USTR to initiate another case based on the fees charged by B.C. for timber fees. "British Columbia has continued to flagrantly skirt the rules and reduce public timber prices," Snowe said in a statement. - 8/9/2010
