Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), a major exporter of Chinese and Indonesian coated paper, believes that the U.S. paper industry has not been injured by foreign subsidies and that, upon final resolution of the matter, the DOC's preliminary countervailing duties will be reduced or eliminated altogether.
In a press release issued on March 2, 2010, APP's acting president, Terry Hunley, stated, "This case is unwarranted and unfairly limiting competition would be unamerican. It would hurt printers, publishers and everyone in America who consumes finished coated paper products. We will continue our work to have this case rejected on the merits. This process is like the Super Bowl, you can't predict the final score based on what's happened on the first quarter."
