EU Commission terminates anti-dumping measures concerning Chinese PET
On February 7, the EU published a commission decision terminating an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain PET originating in the People’s Republic of China. According to the European Commission, a further investigation on the 13-year-long trade remedy measures has not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would be against the Union interest. Therefore the Commission considered that the present review proceeding should be terminated.
The measures were supposed to expire in November 2015 but some European PET manufacturers asked for a review. Thereupon, interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views and to request a hearing.
However, the Commission received no comments which would support the conclusion that such a termination would not be in the Union industry interest.
The Commission, therefore, concludes that the expiry review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of PET originating in the PRC should be terminated.
