Dear Sirs,

European Union (EU)* : Amendment to the notice of initiation of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain manganese dioxides originating in the Mainland of China
Further to the Commercial Information Circular No. 147/2023 of 16 February 2023, the European Commission published a notice 2023/C 323/06 on 13 September 2023 to amend the notice of initiation of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain manganese dioxides originating in the Mainland of China. The notice is available at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52023XC0913(02).
2.In gist, the amendment enables inclusion of examination of alleged raw material distortions in the country concerned regarding the product under investigation in the above-mentioned anti-dumping proceeding, to assess whether, if relevant, a duty lower than the margin of dumping would be sufficient to remove injury.
3.For traders involved in the exports of the subject product from the Guangdong Province, please contact ZHENG Jingmin, Director of Trade Remedy and Industry Injury Investigation Division under the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province, at 86 20 3881 9797.
