Jerusalem (JPFS) — Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade will most likely reject the plywood industry's request to postpone the 1998 deadline for reducing the tax on imports to zero, a ministry official said. "The industry has not done anything significant ... to demonstrate that they have tried to prepare themselves for the opening of the market to imports," said Yifat Turbiner, an economic adviser to Minis- ter of Industry and Trade Natan Sharansky. Industry representatives met with Sha- ransky to encourage him not to ease barriers on imports, saying that imports from Third World countries will threaten their business and cause an in- crease in unemployment. In 1991, the Ministry of In- dustry and Trade decided that, due to the tough competition facing the piywood industry, it would lower import taxes grad- tiRlly over a seven-year, rather than a five-year, period. The ministry grants exten- sions only if the industry can demonstrate that it has made changes in an effort to become more competitive, such as au- tomating factories; trimming staff or honing in on a special- ized niche. The plywood industry's nine factories employ 2,500 work- ers.
