PER CURIAM.

[*~847]1

These appeals are from conflicting final judgments of the Court of International Trade in three actions brought by exporters of portland hydraulic cement and cement clinker from Mexico. In each of the three actions, the exporters challenged the authority of the United States to impose countervailing duties on Mexican cement entered during the later part of 1983 and in all of 1984. Although the actions were distinct (due to different dates of entry and different exporters), the exporters' arguments in each action were substantially identical.

2

In 88-1400, a group of Mexican exporters appeal the first decision of the Court of International Trade, Cementos Guadalajara, S.A. v. United States, 686 F.Supp. 335 (CIT 1988), in which Judge Carman awarded judgment to the United States, permitting the United States to impose countervailing duties on entries made during calendar year 1984.

3

In 88-1502, the United States appeals the second decision of the Court of International Trade, Cementos Anahuac del Golfo, S.A. v. United States, 687 F.Supp. 1558 (CIT 1988), in which Judge Aquilino, in response to substantially the same arguments the first group of exporters made to Judge Carman, awarded judgment to a second group of exporters and enjoined the United States from imposing countervailing duties on entries made between July 1, 1983, and December 31, 1983.

4

In 88-1476, a third group of Mexican exporters appeal the third decision of the Court of International Trade, Cementos Anahuac del Golfo, S.A. v. United States, 689 F.Supp. 1191 (CIT 1988), in which Judge Carman again awarded judgment to the United States, permitting the United States to impose countervailing duties on entries made during calendar year 1984.

5

Our jurisdiction is under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1295(a)(5) (1982). We affirm the judgment in number 88-1400 on the basis of Judge Carman's opinion, Cementos Guadalajara, S.A. v. United States, 686 F.Supp. 335 (CIT 1988), which we adopt. Similarly, we affirm the judgment in 88-1476 on the basis of Judge Carman's opinion, Cementos Anahuac del Golfo, S.A. v. United States, 689 F.Supp. 1191 (CIT 1988), which we adopt, except for the portions, not appealed, which discuss whether the methodology used by the United States to compute subsidies was correct and whether the United States was required to use a country-wide subsidy rate rather than a company-specific subsidy rate. 689 F.Supp. at 1214-16. We reverse the judgment in 88-1502 because it is based upon reasoning and analysis which conflicts with Judge Carman's opinions which we have adopted.
