On June 8, the government of Thailand determined to continue the existing anti-dumping measures on flat hot-rolled steel in coils and not in coils imported from Japan following the third sunset review of the existing anti-dumping measures.

The Japanese steel industry has claimed during the sunset review proceedings that the revocation of the anti-dumping measures on flat hot-rolled steel in coils and not in coils from Japan is not likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the Thai steel industry.

The government of Thailand has given the priority to the protection of the Thai steel industry in this sunset review, and determined to continue anti-dumping measures which have been imposed for eighteen years. This is an unjust and extremely regrettable decision.

The Japanese steel industry will carefully study this determination and, after discussing with the Japanese government officials, consider an appropriate course of action.
