Many United States companies have, unfortunately, made the search for legal protection from import competition into a major line of work. Since 1980 the United States International Trade Commission(ITC)has received about 280 complaints alleging damage from imports that benefit from subsidies by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that foreign companies "dumped" their products in the United States at "less than fair value." Even when no unfair practices are alleged, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief.
Contrary to the general impression, this quest for import relief has hurt more companies than it has helped. As corporations begin to function globally, they develop an intricate web of marketing, production, and research relationships. The complexity of these relationships makes it unlikely that a system of import relief laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company.
Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to protect. Suppose a United States-owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its com- petitor makes the same product in the United States. If the competitor can prove injury from the imports—and that the United States company received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad—the United States company’ s products will be uncompetitive in the United States, since they would be subject to duties.
Perhaps the most brazen case oc- curred when the ITC investigated allegations that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt, used to deice roads. The bizarre aspect of the com- plaint was that a foreign conglomerate with United States operations was crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations. The "United States" company claiming in- jury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate, while the "Canadian" companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about the complaint mentioned in the last paragraph?
选项
A、The ITC acted unfairly toward the complainant in its investigation.
B、The complaint violated the intent of import relief laws.
C、The response of the ITC to the complaint provided suitable relief from unfair trade practices to the complainant.
D、The ITC did not have access to appropriate information concerning the case.
E、Each of the companies involved in the complaint acted in its own best interest.
答案
B
解析
最后一段的投诉,作者有什么看法?A.ITC在调查中不公平。无。B.正确。这个投诉违反了进口限制法的初衷。进口限制法的初衷是保护美国公司利益,这一投诉是外国在美公司控告美国在海外的公司。C.“suitable relief”文中无。D.ITC未能接触到正确信息。无。而且原文最后一段所说,实际上就是ITC调查的结果,正确信息。E.“acted in its own best interest”情理中有,但文中没有记述。
