The Economy Ministry is investigating 'Grupo Calvo' for alleged unfair competition, after a complaint from rival company Sardimar.
Together with other Costa Rican Tuna companies, Sardimar argues that Grupo Calvo engages in 'dumping'.
'Dumping occurs when a company sells in another country at lower prices than the ones offered in its own market', explains journalist Hassel Fallas in newspaper Nacion.com.
A group of Democratic senators proposed a law to eliminate tariffs on textile products from 14 Asian countries.
Textile imports from those countries currently pay up to 28% when entering the United States.
Should the proposal be approved, a very likely scenario, the Central American countries would lose the trade advantage obtained with the U.S. free trade agreement, as production costs are lower in Asian countries, because of lower social costs and cheaper energy.
