The Chief Commissioner of the International Trade administration Commission of SA, Mr Tsengiwe said that he would inform the Committee about ITAC's overarching strategic plans. Measurable targets had been set. In terms of trade remedies ITAC had made an estimate of the number of investigations that it would conduct. Investigations were done in reaction to applications from the industry. Only three had been conducted during the first quarter. This was not unusual, and most of these were "sunset reviews". He noted that another of ITAC's focus areas was working against the dumping of goods. Once a duty had been imposed on such goods it would remain in place for a maximum of five years. The sunset review would be conducted at the end of this period.
