The commodity advisory service Pro Farmer is reporting that the Department of Justice filed an appeal last Friday [November 8] to stay for 90 days the Court of International Trade’s order to vacate the 2017 suspension agreements.
A delay would give the Commerce Department more time to negotiate revised amendments with Mexico and keep the current suspension agreements in place for 90 days.
The draft 2019 amendments circulated to interested parties by Commerce are substantively identical to the 2017 amendments.
Commerce initially asked for comments from interested parties by November 12, but has extended the comment period until November 14 in response to a request from CSC Sugar.
