Plywood prices<\/p>\n
In your edition of Saturday, Aug. 12, 1995, in the Business
\nColumn entitled Plywood exports tumble due to declining prices,
\namong others you wrote that \"Tjipto said that APKINDO spent a
\nlarge amount of money to cooperate with the Mexicans,\" ...etc.<\/p>\n
Without any further elaboration, we are afraid that it could
\nmislead and create negative interpretation among the readers. To
\nput the issue in the proper position, therefore, allow us to
\nclarify that the above mentioned statement of Mr. Tjipto is
\nsolely meant and based on the fact that APKINDO really spent a
\nlarge amount of money for the following purposes:<\/p>\n
* Hiring local lawyers<\/p>\n
* Hiring supporting lawyers from White & Case USA<\/p>\n
* Cost dispatching our delegates to Mexico for public hearing
\nand cost for our team in preparing relevant supporting documents
\nand data since 1993.<\/p>\n
* Other general expenses<\/p>\n
On the other hand, it is a reality too, that in facing the
\naccusation, APKINDO is supported by Comer Forest, the Mexican
\nImporters Association, because they are also accused of the same
\nallegations of dumping prices.<\/p>\n
