EUROFER preparing 3 more import complaints

Steel Business Briefing cited an executive of Brussels as saying that steel producers in the European Union are preparing three new unfair import complaints.

These are likely to cover two stainless products bright bar and drawn wire. In addition, a quite wide ranging case on organic coated flat products is at a very early stage of preparation.

The report added that on stainless drawn wire, the case will focus on imports from India and China. The complaint against India will argue for both anti subsidy and countervailing duties and anti dumping duties; the Chinese complaint will only claim dumping.

The stainless bright bar action will target imports just from India on anti dumping duties and countervailing duties grounds.
