COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1420/2007
of 4 December 2007
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silico-manganese originating in the People's Republic of China and Kazakhstan and terminating the proceeding on imports of silico-manganese originating in Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:

A.PROCEDURE
-
1.Initiation
(1) |
On 6 September 2006, pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation, the Commission announced by a notice (notice of initiation) published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to imports into the Community of silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese) (SiMn) originating in the People's Republic of China (PRC), Kazakhstan and Ukraine (the countries concerned). |
(2) |
The proceeding was initiated following a complaint lodged on 24 July 2006 by the Comité de Liaison des Industries de Ferro-Alliages (EUROALLIAGES) (the complainant) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 50 % of the total Community production of SiMn (the complainant producers). The complaint contained prima facie evidence of dumping of SiMn originating in the countries concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. |
(3) |
One interested party claimed that the Commission should have initiated this proceeding also against imports originating in India. At the time of the initiation of the current proceeding, however, the Commission did not have sufficient evidence of injurious dumping at its disposal that would have justified the initiation of a proceeding against imports originating in India in line with the requirements of Article 5(2) of the basic Regulation. |

2.Parties concerned by the proceeding
(4) |
The Commission officially advised the complainant, the complainant producers and other known Community producers, exporting producers in the countries concerned, importers/traders and their associations, suppliers and users known to be concerned and the representatives of the exporting countries concerned, of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation. All interested parties, who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing. |
(5) |
In order to allow exporting producers in the PRC and in Kazakhstan to submit a claim for market economy treatment (MET) or individual treatment (IT), if they so wished, the Commission sent claim forms to the exporting producers known to be concerned as well as to the authorities of the PRC and Kazakhstan. Four exporting producer groups in the PRC and one exporting producer in Kazakhstan claimed MET pursuant to Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation, or IT should the investigation establish that they did not meet the conditions for MET. |
(6) |
In view of the apparent large number of exporting producers in the PRC and importers in the Community, sampling was envisaged in the notice of initiation for the determination of dumping and injury, in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation. |
