Notice clarifying the notices of initiation of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China and Egypt

(2019/C 314/06)

On 21 February 2019, the Commission published a notice initiating an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China and Egypt (1) (the ‘Notice of 21 February 2019’).

On 16 May 2019, the Commission published a notice initiating an anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China and Egypt (2) (the ‘Notice of 16 May 2019’).

In those notices, the product under investigation is described as follows:

‘The product subject to this investigation is fabrics of woven, and/or stitched continuous filament glass fibre rovings or yarns, excluding products which are impregnated or pre-impregnated (pre-preg), and excluding open mesh fabrics with cells with a size of more than 1,8 mm in both length and width and weighing more than 35 g/m2 (“the product under investigation”).’

The investigations have brought to the Commission’s attention that some economic operators may have misinterpreted the wording of the description of the product subject to investigation.

For this reason, the Commission has decided to clarify the Notice of 21 February 2019 and the Notice of 16 May 2019 to reflect to all interested parties the actual scope of the current investigation and to give the economic operators concerned who might have not made themselves known because they believe they were not concerned by this proceeding (most notably users and unrelated importers) an opportunity to provide questionnaire replies on the basis of the clarified definition of the product under investigation and a complete Product Control Number (‘PCN’) table thereof.

Further information will also be included in a note to the file for inspection by interested parties.

1.   Clarification concerning the product under investigation

Clarification concerning the product under investigation

In Section 2 of the Notice of 21 February 2019 and the Notice of 16 May 2019, the product under investigation is described as follows:

‘The product subject to this investigation is fabrics of woven, and/or stitched continuous filament glass fibre rovings or yarns, excluding products which are impregnated or pre-impregnated (pre-preg), and excluding open mesh fabrics with cells with a size of more than 1,8 mm in both length and width and weighing more than 35 g/m2 (“the product under investigation”).’

As explained above, the investigations have brought to the Commission’s attention that some economic operators may have misinterpreted the above description and may have decided not to come forward on the basis of an incorrect understanding of the definition of the product under investigation.

For this reason, the Commission finds it appropriate to clarify that the product subject to this investigation is fabrics of woven, and/or stitched continuous filament glass fibre rovings and/or yarns with or without other elements, excluding products which are impregnated or pre-impregnated (pre-preg), and excluding open mesh fabrics with cells with a size of more than 1,8 mm in both length and width and weighing more than 35 g/m2 (‘the product under investigation’).

2

More detailed TARIC codes covering the product under investigation are provided below for information.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Commission observes that this clarification has no material impact on the Commission’s analysis of the allegations of dumping/subsidisation and injury which fully covers the scope of the investigation. That is because the information from interested parties as to dumping/subsidisation and injury was collected at the level of the much more detailed PCN making up the product under investigation.

To ensure clarity, the Commission publishes herewith the PCN table that accompanied the questionnaire forms submitted to the Union industry and exporting producers.
