Reid Ribble : Ribble Fights for Wisconsin Paper

(Center, below the light) Congressman Ribble testifies before the International Trade Commission on 'Uncoated Paper Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations on Imports from Australia, Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Portugal' on behalf of Wisconsin paper companies.

Washington, DC-U.S. Representative Reid Ribble (WI-08) released the following statement on his efforts to fight for fair markets for Wisconsin paper through testifying before the International Trade Commission:

'More than 54,000 hard-working northeast Wisconsinites earn their living by making something the whole world needs: paper. Our paper manufacturers are famous worldwide for their efficient and high quality production. Unfortunately, they can't compete when China, Brazil, and other countries are giving their paper companies so much government money that they can sell products below cost!

To help fight for fair markets, I testified at the International Trade Commission in a case being brought against China, Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, and Portugal for this illegal behavior. I believe deeply in free trade, but I feel just as strongly that countries must play by the rules they have willingly agreed to. Not only is it the right thing to do, but countless communities in Wisconsin depend on it.'

Congressman Ribble testified before the International Trade Commission as part of the ongoing case 'Uncoated Paper Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations on Imports from Australia, Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Portugal' on behalf of Wisconsin paper companies.You can learn more about the case here.
