Providing the petitioners with technical expertise to help them compete in this segment would be much wiser than imposing restrictions on those competitors who did recognize a shift in the market and met demand. EXEMPT FROM PROPOSED REMEDY IMPORTS FROM COUNTRIES WITH WHICH U.S. HAS FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS As required by statute, the ITC's initial injury determination evaluated whether imports from various countries with which the United States has free trade agreements (FTAs) contributed to the surge of imports harming the domestic industry. Under the relevant statute, the ITC is not required to recommend the remedy be applied to all countries covered by an affirmative injury finding. Indeed, the domestic safeguard statute and our commitments under the World Trade Organization's Agreement on Safeguards permit the ITC to recommend exempting from its final proposed remedy imports from countries with which the United States has FTAs. The ITC should utilize this authority in this case.
