The Interagency Commission for International Trade, after considering materials submitted by the Economic Development and Trade Ministry, has decided to prolong for six months an antidumping investigation into slate imports from Belarus to Ukraine.
"There is a necessity to prolong the investigation," reads an official report of the commission published on Wednesday in the Uriadovy Kurier government newspaper.
The commission's decision takes effect from the moment of its publication.
As reported, the investigation was launched under a claim of the Ukrainian Chrysotile Union in March 2011 submitted on behalf of open joint-stock company Ivano-Frankivskcement, Techprom LLC, Delta Bug firm LLC, Krasnohvardeiske slate plant, and Kramatorsk Slate LLC.
The commission agreed that the complaint contains sufficient, well-founded information according to which it could be concluded that in January-October 2010 slate imports from Belarus were carried out at dumping prices, and there is a threat of damage being done to domestic producers if these dumping imports continue.
