GREAT NEWS JUST IN ON FRIDAY FOR BOMBARDIER , REGARDING THEIR C SERIES PLANES AND THEIR EXPORT TO THE U.S......THOSE HEFTY DUTIES IMPOSED ARE NOW LIFTED!! THE DECISION JUST CAME DOWN AS THE ANNOUNCEMENT STATED , THEY THINK THERE WOULD BE NO MAJOR HARM TO BOEING SALES IN THE U.S. , ORIGINALLY THEY THOUGHT THERE WERE UNFAIR PRACTICES ON BEHALF OF CANADA BECAUSE OF HUGE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES GIVEN TO BOMBARDIER!.......STILL THIS IS HOW THE DUTIES IMPOSED BREAK DOWN........The U.S. Department of Commerce has clobbered aerospace giant Bombardier with a hefty 220 per cent countervailing duty on the sale of its CS100 commercial jets to a U.S. airline following a trade complaint from an American rival.The department ruled that Bombardier benefited from improper government subsidies, a finding that deals a blow to the Montreal-based company's chances in its dispute with U.S. rival Boeing.Bombardier responded with a statement saying, "The magnitude of the proposed duty is absurd and divorced from the reality about the financing of multibillion-dollar aircraft programs."The company argues that "U.S. trade laws were never intended to be used in this manner, and Boeing is seeking to use a skewed process to stifle competition."
