On January 17th, the European Commission announced in the Official Journal, as a result of the expiry review investigation, to continue the anti-dumping measures on grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel imported from Japan.

During the expiry review proceedings, the Japanese steel industry claimed that revocation of the anti-dumping measures is not likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the industry in EU.

We believe it is inappropriate and regrettable that the European Commission has rejected our statements and concluded to continue the anti-dumping measures on grain-oriented flat-rolled steel products from Japan.

The Japanese steel industry will carefully study this decision and determine a proper course of action.
