The European Commission said on March 15 that the anti-dumping measures it imposed on imports of Chinese coal coke will expire on March 19 as "no duly substantiated request for a review was lodged".

The EU started its anti-dumping probe into Chinese coal coke in pieces with diameters larger than 80mm in December 2006 and made the final ruling in March 2008.

The product was already subject to anti-dumping measures from June 2000 until 2004. The measures were suspended in March 2004 due to a temporary change in market conditions but were then resumed.
