EU scraps anti-dumping duties on Chinese coal coke

The European Commission says its anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of Chinese coal coke will expire on Tuesday, 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 80 millimeters in December 2006, and made the final ruling in March 2008.

China's coal coke export went on a decline since. In 2009, 545,000 tons were exported, about 95 percent lower than in 2008.
