Brussels, 02/01/2003 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission has decided to reassess anti-dumping measures against imports of Chinese coke that have been in place for two years. The aim of the procedure (announced in Official Journal C308) is to determine whether the duping has continue or even increased, as claimed by European competitors through their association, Eucoke-EEIG. The information at the Commission's disposal indicate that dumping is still "significant" and the current surcharges no longer compensate for the damage to European industry; imports of Chinese coke have increased overall both in absolute terms and in terms of market share, with prices well below European prices; the prices and volume of the imports still have a negative effect on the Community industry's price levels, seriously affecting their financial situation and employment levels.
