BACKGROUND
- The Council of the EU imposed on 5 April 1996 a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of coumarin originating in the mainland of China at a rate of ECU 3,479 per tonne. In January 2001, the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) requested an expiry review alleging that there would be a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Community industry with the expiry of the anti-dumping duty. The European Commission initiated an expiry review on 4 April 2001.
- On the basis of the results of the investigation, the Commission concluded that there was dumping of the product concerned and there would be likelihood of recurrence of injurious dumping if the duty was repealed. The Council of the EU therefore decided to maintain the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of coumarin originating in the mainland of China. The duty has taken effect since 10 May 2002.
