Legal Centric Indonesia’s Post

#Indonesia has initiated an investigation as to whether “safeguard measures” would be needed in response to a sharp increase in #imports of linear low density #polyethylene (LLDPE), its trade ministry said. The committee noted initial findings suggested there were possible losses to the domestic industry over the years 2021-2023 arising from the sharp increase in imports of #LLDPE. It also noted that the biggest sources of these imports were #Malaysia and #Thailand, which accounted for over 70% of LLDPE imports into Indonesia.

With the fall of the Chevron deference standard in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, a number of IP practitioners have identified the International Trade Commission (ITC) as a potential agency that might feel the repercussions of that decision. That conversation has focused on the Federal Circuit's ruling in Suprema, Inc. v. ITC, 796 F.3d 1338 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (en banc). In Suprema, the Federal Circuit relied on Chevron deference to validate the ITC's position that it could investigate products used to infringe a method claim through a finding of induced infringement. Since that time, however, the impact of that opinion has not been limited to those facts. Instead, the ITC has used Suprema to justify jurisdiction over many products that do not infringe at the time of importation. Without Chevron deference, it is unclear whether the ITC will maintain such a broad jurisdiction.

Unfair prices practices Recently Europe has witnessed a surge in the import of cement from countries such as Belarus, Ukraine, Turkey, and Algeria. The Impact of Uncontrolled and rising Cement Import from Those countries into Europe presents significant challenges, particularly due to the lack of alignment with European climate policies. It’s cement production does not adhere to the stringent environmental regulations enforced across Europe, undermining the region's climate goals and potentially increasing carbon emissions. Additionally, Ukrainian cement is sold at unfairly low prices, thanks to lower production costs and regulatory standards. This puts tremendous pressure on local European producers, threatening their viability and leading to potential plant shutdowns. If European cement plants close, the knock-on effect could be devastating, resulting in job losses and an unemployment crisis in the construction sector. As Europe supports Ukraine economically, it's crucial to balance this with regulations that protect local industries and adhere to environmental commitments. Without thoughtful intervention, the future of Europe’s cement industry—and the jobs it sustains—could be at serious risk.
