Broadbent dissenting with respect to the imports of certain pasta from Turkey. 1 Views of the Commission Based on the record in these five‐year reviews, we determine under section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Tariff Act”), that revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain pasta (“pasta” or “dry pasta”) from Italy and Turkey would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.1 2 I. Background Original Investigations. On May 12, 1995, Borden, Inc., Hershey Foods Corp., and Gooch Foods, Inc. filed antidumping duty and countervailing duty petitions on imports of certain pasta from Italy and Turkey. On June 14, 1996, the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) determined that imports of certain pasta from Italy and Turkey were being subsidized and sold at less than fair value (“LTFV”).3 In July 1996, the Commission found that a domestic industry was materially injured by reason of subsidized and LTFV imports of certain pasta from Italy and Turkey.4 On July 24, 1996, Commerce issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders for certain pasta from Italy and Turkey.5 1 Commissioner Broadbent determines that revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain pasta from Italy would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, and that revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain pasta from Turkey would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Separate and Dissenting Views of Commissioner Meredith M. Broadbent. She joins sections I and II of these views unless otherwise stated. 2 Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuing cessation of Commission operations, all import injury reviews conducted under authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act
