Introduction

The International Trade Policies Department of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Industry is responsible for administering the Egyptian subsidies/countervailing dutylaw. The law provides a mechanism for maintaining fair levels of import competition for Egyptian producers when the subsidization of imported goods causes material injury or threatens to cause material injury to an established Egyptian industry. The law reflects Egypt’s obligations under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Industry has initiated an investigation into claims by (Egyptian companies), that subsized imports of (product name) originating in or exported from (Country Name) have been causing material injury to the Egyptian industry. This questionnaire is designed to assist your company in providing the necessary information to investigate the extent, if any, to which imports of the product under investigation originating from (Country Name) are being subsidized and causing or threatening to cause material injury to the Egyptian industry producing like goods. It is in your best interest to complete the questionnaire as, in the absence of a response, a decision can be based on the best information available. As this information is usually supplied by the Egyptian applicant, it is considered necessary that your company be given the opportunity to respond so that a fair investigation can be conducted.
