INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigations Nos. 731-TA-684 and 685 (Preliminary)]

On the basis of the record1 developed in the subject
investigations, the Commission determines, pursuant to section 733(a)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)), that there is a
reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports from Colombia and Ecuador of
fresh cut roses, provided for in subheading 0603.10.60 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be
sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV).

\1\The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Background
On February 14, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and
the Department of Commerce by the Floral Trade Council, Haslett, MI,
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of fresh cut
roses from Colombia and Ecuador. Accordingly, effective February 14,
1994, the Commission instituted antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-
684 and 685 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of February 24, 1994 (59 FR 9000). The
conference was held in Washington, DC, on March 8, 1994, and all
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
The Commission transmitted its determinations in these
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on March 31, 1994. The
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2766 (March
1994), entitled ``Fresh Cut Roses from Colombia and Ecuador:
Investigations Nos. 731-TA-684 and 685 (Preliminary).''
Issued: April 1, 1994.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
