Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of ferro-silicon originating in the People’s
Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine

(2002/C 15/02)

By Commission Decision of 21 February 2001, the Commission terminated the anti-dumping proceeding
concerning imports of ferro-silicon originating in Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, Kazakhstan,
Russia, Ukraine and Venezuela (1).

An action against the Commission of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First
Instance on 16 June 2001 by the Liaison Committee of the ferro-alloy industry ((cid:145)Euroalliages(cid:146)) and others,
seeking the annulment pursuant to Article 230 EC of the sole Article of Decision 2001/230/EC in so far as
it concerned the People’s Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and the Ukraine: T132/01 Euroalliages and
others v Commission of the European Communities.

In parallel, Euroalliages and others lodged a request before the Court of First Instance for interim measures
pursuant to Articles 242 and 243 EC: T132/01R Euroalliages and others v Commission of
the European
Communities.

A notice was published on 14 August 2001 in the Official Journal of the European Communities informing
Member States and all
interested parties that, on 1 August 2001, the President of the Court of First
Instance had ordered in case T132/01R Euroalliages and others v Commission of the European Communities
that the imports of
ferro-silicon (CN codes 7202 21 10; 7202 21 90; 7202 29 90) originating in the
People’s Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine be subject to registration without requiring
a security to be provided by importers (2).

In the meantime, an appeal was lodged before the Court of Justice against the Order of the President of the
Court of First Instance of 1 August 2001: Case C-404/01P(R) Commission of the European Communities v
Euroalliages and others. Notice is hereby given to Member States and to all interested parties that on 14
December 2001, in case C-404/01P(R) Commission of the European Communities v Euroalliages and others, the
President of the Court of Justice annulled the Order of the President of the Court of First Instance of
1 August 2001 and referred the case back to the Court of First Instance.
