CREATING A COMMITTEE TO COORDINATE ACTION ON NO-DOLLAR IMPORTATIONS SO AS TO PREVENT CONFLICT OR CONFUSION IN THE EXECUTION OF THE CENTRAL BANK ACT AND THE ANTI-DUMPING ACT.
WHEREAS, the issuance of no-dollar-allocation licenses by the Central Bank has in some cases resulted in the importation of goods in violation of the Anti-Dumping Act, thereby making it necessary for the Secretary of Finance to order the reshipment of the goods abroad or to permit their importation upon payment of special customs duties in addition to the regular duties; and
WHEREAS, this situation has caused no little embarassment, considering that the Secretary of Finance is the Chairman of the Monetary Board of the Central Bank;
