EU terminates AD duty investigation on stainless steel butt-welding pipe fittings

The European Commission (EC) has announced that it has terminated its antidumping (AD) duty investigation regarding certain stainless steel tube and pipe butt-welding fittings from China and Taiwan.

In June this year, the complainant, the Defense Committee of the Stainless Steel Butt-Welding Fittings Industry of the European Union, withdrew its complaint which was filed in September 2012. Additionally, the Commission decided that the investigation has not brought to light any considerations showing that the termination of the investigation would be against the EU's interest.

According to the complaint filed, there was evidence "that imports of the product under investigation from the countries concerned have increased overall in absolute terms and have increased in terms of market share."

The products covered by the investigation currently fall within CN codes 7307 23 10 and 7307 23 90.
