Re: Suggested plan to leverage the WTO issue in the senate
[ QUOTE ]
To be honest I am surprised that the WTO issue is taken seriously by an important senator. But since it obviously is in view of the possible ramifications for future US interests in the WTO, not to mention possible sanctions, then I would propose that lobbyists for the PPA and ourselves seek to leverage that concern in the following manner.

To be precise, the meeting (see letter) was with a representative.
The interest they have at this stage is two fold:
1. What is in it for WV - JOBS as a proposal.
2. What harm will come to WV if the ruling and sanctions are placed? This I have to finalize for them and will post as a follow up to the letter.
One is Japan - steel industry dumping case can be reversed hurting our steel industry.
I need more though and am reading the various WTO cases involving the U S and the filing countries to see what other possible ramifications to WV will be.
I would suggest the same for everyone, find out what damage directly the filing countries can have reversed or modified in their favor V. the U S in your state.
