Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of unwrought unalloyed
magnesium originating in the People's Republic of China

(2002/C 230/02)

On 18 June 2002, the Comité de Liaison des Industries de
Ferro-Alliages (Euro Alliages) on behalf of
the sole known
Community producer of unwrought unalloyed magnesium,
formally withdrew its
Pechiney Electrométallurgie, France,
complaint.

1. Product and existing measures

The product concerned is unwrought unalloyed magnesium
originating in the People's Republic of China, currently clas-
sifiable within CN codes 8104 11 00 and ex 8104 19 00.
These CN codes are given only for information.

The measures in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty
imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2402/98 (1).

2. Recent developments

The applicant claims that due to the fact that the sole known
producer within the Community closed down production, the
existing measures appear no longer necessary. Therefore, the
measures should be repealed.

3. Ongoing interim review

In June 2002 a partial
to
Article 11(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (3) was
initiated. This review is limited in scope to the appropriateness
of the existing measures. Should measures be repealed, the
above review will be terminated accordingly.
