Micron is likely to be disappointed at a decision by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) which will make the US government take LG and Hyundai off its anti-dumping list. According to a report in English language paper Korea Times, the WTO is likely to rule that a US refusal to take the companies off an anti-dumping list is unjustified. The South Korean government asked the WTO for a ruling last year after LG and Hyundai had anti-dumping tariffs imposed on them for three consecutive years. The US and the South Korean government had failed to reach a compromise and the WTO appointed three arbitrators to come to a conclusion. ®
