COMMISSION DECISION of 7 August 1992 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of pig-iron, originating in Turkey (92/423/ECSC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, Having regard to Commission Decision No 2424/88/ECSC of 29 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Coal and Steel Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof, After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Decision, A. PROCEDURE (1) In June 1991 the Commission received a complaint lodged by 'Eurofontes' on behalf of producers whose collective output allegedly constitutes the majority of Community production of hematite and SG pig-iron. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of hematite pig-iron falling under CN code 7201 10 19 and SG pig-iron, falling under CN code 7201 10 90, originating in Turkey and the Soviet Union (3). (2) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991. (3) The Commission officially so advised the exporting producers and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of Turkey and the complainant and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing. (4) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purpose of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies: Community producers: - Duisburger Kupferhuette GmbH, Duisburg, Germany; - Halbergerhuette GmbH, Saarbruecken-Brebach, Germany; - Stahlwerke Peine-Salzgitter AG, Salzgitter, Germany; - Thyssen Stahl AG, Duisburg, Germany; - Cleveland Iron, Redcar, United Kingdom; - Alti Forni e Ferriere di Servola SpA, Trieste, Italy. Community importers: - Eisen und Metall AG, Gelsenkirchen, Germany; - Leopold Lazarus Ltd, London, United Kingdom. (5) The Commission also sent questionnaires to producers and exporters in Turkey known to be concerned in order to obtain the necessary information. (6) The Commission received information concerning Turkish producers which indicated that the exports from Turkey were apparently of an incidental and temporary nature. On the basis of this information the Commission considered that the contribution of these imports to any material injury suffered by the Community industry appeared no more than negligible. (7) The Commission informed the complainant of the information received from the Turkish producers. Subsequently, the complainant formally withdrew the complaint with regard to imports of the products concerned from Turkey. The Commission considered that, in the particular circumstances, there was no reason to continue the investigation with regard to imports from Turkey. B. TERMINATION OF THE ANTI-DUMPING PROCEEDING CONCERNING TURKEY (8) In view of the withdrawal of the complaint regarding imports of pig-iron originating in Turkey, the Commission considers that the anti-dumping proceeding shall, with regard to these imports, be terminated without imposition of protective measures, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Sole article The anti-dumping proceeding in respect of imports of non-alloy pig-iron containing by weight 0,5 % or less of phosphorus and falling under CN codes 7201 10 19 (containing by weight not less than 0,4 % of manganese and more than 1 % of silicon) and 7201 10 90 (containing by weight less than 0,1 % of manganese), originating in Turkey is hereby terminated.
