Notice  of  initiation  of  a  review  of  the  anti(cid:220)dumping  measures  applicable  to  imports  of  ferro(cid:220)
chrome  with  a  carbon  content  by  weight  of  maximum  0,5(cid:216)%  (low  carbon  ferro(cid:220)chrome),  orig(cid:220)
inating  in  Russia  and  Kazakhstan

(98/C  303/03)

impending
Following  the  publication  of  a  notice  of 
expiry(cid:216)(˛)  of  the  anti(cid:220)dumping  measures 
in  force  on
imports  of  ferro(cid:220)chrome  with  a  carbon  content  by  weight
"low
of  maximum  0,5(cid:216)%  (hereinafter  referred  to  as 
carbon  ferro(cid:220)chrome’)  originating,  inter  alia,  in  Russia
and  Kazakhstan,  the  Commission  has  received  a  request
for  a  review  pursuant  to  Article  11(2)  of  Council  Regu(cid:220)
lation  (EC)  No  384/96(cid:216)(ˇ)  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  the
"Basic  Regulation’)  of  the  measures  applicable  to  these
two  countries.

Furthermore,  the  Commission  has  decided  on  its  own
initiative  to  initiate  an  interim  review  of  the  same  anti(cid:220)
dumping  measures  pursuant  to  Article  11(3)  of  the  Basic
Regulation.  This  interim  review  is  limited  to  the  clarifi(cid:220)
cation  of  the  product  coverage  of  the  measures.

classified  within  CN  codes  7202(cid:216)49(cid:216)10  and  7202(cid:216)49(cid:216)50.
These  CN  codes  are  given  for  information  only.

3.  Existing  measures

The  measures  currently  in  force  are  the  definitive  anti(cid:220)
dumping  duties  in  the  form  of  specific  duties  imposed  by
Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  2717/93(cid:216)(—)  on  imports  of
low  carbon  ferro(cid:220)chrome  originating,  inter  alia,  in  Russia
and  Kazakhstan.

4.  Grounds  for  the  review

1.  Request  for  review

(a) Expiry  review

The  request  was  lodged  on  2  July  1998  by  the  Liaison
Committee  of  the  ferro(cid:220)alloy  industry  (Euroalliages)  on
behalf  of  the  only  Community  producer  of  low  carbon
ferro(cid:220)chrome.

The  request  is  based  on  the  grounds  that  the  expiry
of  the  measures  would  be  likely  to  result  in  the
continuation  or  recurrence  of  dumping  and  injury  to
the  Community  industry.

2.  Product

The  product  concerned  is  ferro(cid:220)chrome  containing  by
than  0,5(cid:216)%  of  carbon,  currently
weight  not  more 

(˛)(cid:217)OJ  C  100,  2.4.1998,  p.  6.
(ˇ)(cid:217)OJ  L  56,  6.3.1996,  p.  1  (as  amended  by  Regulation  (EC)  No
2331/96  (OJ  L  317,  6.12.1996,  p.  1)  and  by  Regulation  (EC)
No  905/98  (OJ  L  128,  30.4.1998,  p.  18)).

It  is  submitted  that  because  of  the  existence  in  Russia
and  Kazakhstan  of  considerable  chromium  ore
reserves  and  of  corresponding 
large  production
capacities  combined  with  a  sharp  decrease  in  local
consumption,  exports  to  the  Community  are  likely  to
resume  massively,  if  the  measures  are  allowed  to
lapse.
