As the definitive anti-dumping duties on stainless steel cold-rolled flat products from China and Taiwan put in place in 2015 expire, the Commission extended them with an implementing Regulation on Thursday 16 September.
In 2020, the European association of steel companies, Eurofer, which represents more than 25% of the total EU production of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products, filed a request for a review of the Regulation, in view of its expiry. In their view, the disappearance of these anti-dumping duties would likely lead to “the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Union industry”.
The Commission initiated a review in August 2020 and concluded that Chinese imports continued to be dumped during the investigation period and that there was a strong likelihood of continuation.
