The European Union Commission (EC) has terminated the antidumping proceeding concerning imports of certain hot-dipped metallic-coated iron or steel flat rolled products from China.
On October 30, 2007, the EC received a complaint from by the European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries (EUROFER) on behalf of producers representing a major part of total EU production, in this case more than 25 percent, of certain hot-dipped metallic-coated iron or steel flat rolled products.
Following receipt of the complaint, on December 14, 2007 the EC initiated an investigation to determine whether the subject product imported from China was being dumped and, if so, whether this dumping caused injury. The review covered the period from December 1, 2006, through November 30, 2007, involving hot-dipped metallic-coated iron or steel flat rolled products declared within CN codes 7210.41.00, 7210.49.00, 7210.61.00, 7210.69.00, 7212.30.00, 7212.50.61, 7212.50.69, 7225.92.00, 7225.99.00, 7226.99.30, 7226.99.70. The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from January 1, 2004 to the end of the investigation period.
The EC has concluded that the antidumping duty proceeding concerning imports into the Community of the products in question from China should be terminated without the imposition of antidumping measures.
