The European Commission opened on the 12 February 2016 new anti-dumping investigations to determine whether imports of three steel products – seamless pipes, heavy plates and hot-rolled flat steel – from China had been dumped on the EU market. If this was found to be the case, the Commission would take measures to protect the European steel industry from damaging effects of unfair trade. In another ongoing case concerning a steel product, the Commission decided to impose as of 12 February 2016 provisional anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled flat steel from China and Russia. This followed other provisional anti-dumping measures adopted recently, on so called ‘high fatigue performance rebars’ from China, imposed on 29 January 2016. The European Steel Association (EUROFER) welcomed the measures on Cold-Rolled Flat (CRF) products but criticised extremely low level of duties on Chinese steel imports. |
