Brazil Freezes Anti-Dumping Probes on Tax Agency Spat

Brazil froze all investigations of dumping practices by other countries after a presidential decree in October prohibited the tax agency from sharing information, Trade Minister Miguel Jorge said.
About 70 probes cannot be completed without data such as the amount of goods imported and the price paid, Jorge told reporters in Brasilia. Brazil’s tax agency halted the exchange of sensitive data days after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva issued the decree on Oct. 5, Jorge said.
