Miscellaneous International Trade Notices
The Journal of Commerce (JoC) reports that the British Columbia Lumber Trade Council is requesting that the Canadian government delay enacting the Softwood Lumber Agreement (SLA) with the U.S., which is supposed to take effect on October 1, 2006. JoC notes that Canadian officials may grant this request because some Canadian firms are experiencing complications in complying with the SLA. (JoC Pub 09/28/06, www.joc.com)
