Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 923/2019

European Union (EU)* : Reopening of absorption reinvestigation concerning anti-dumping measures on certain cast iron articles originating in the Mainland of China

Further to Commercial Information Circular No. 137/2019 of 18 February 2019, the European Commission (the Commission) has published a notice on the reopening of the absorption reinvestigation concerning the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain cast iron articles originating in the Mainland of China.  The notice is available at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52019XC1218(02)&from=EN.

2.The Commission has decided to reopen the absorption reinvestigation.  The reopening will determine whether after the original investigation period and prior to or following the imposition of measures, export prices have decreased or that there has been no movement, or insufficient movement, in the resale prices or subsequent selling prices of the imported product in the European Union.

3.Subject to the provision of the notice, all interested parties are invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence within 37 days from 18 December 2019, unless otherwise specified.  They may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services.  A request for hearing with or intervention of the Hearing Officer, who reports directly to the Commissioner for Trade of the EU, may also be made.  Hearing requests should be made in writing, specifying the reasons for the request.

4.For traders involved in the exports of the subject product from the Guangdong Province, please contact Li Xuefei, Director of Trade Remedy and Industry Injury Investigation Division under the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province, at 8620 3881 6201. The Division is responsible for, among others, guiding and coordinating enterprises in Guangdong Province in responding to anti-dumping investigations against products from the province.
