Ilyashev & Partners has succesfully represented the Ukrainian Association of Ferroalloys Producers and Other Electrometallurgy Products in an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of ferro-silicon originating in Egypt and Ukraine.
The decision to terminate the investigation without imposing duties was published on the website of the European Commission on June 4, 2018.
This is the first European Commission anti-dumping investigation in ten years which resulted in no anti-dumping measures being implemented concerning the imports of goods originating in Ukraine.
On June 19, 2017 the Association of European Ferroalloy Producers lodged a complaint concerning alleged dumped imports of ferro-silicon originating in Egypt and Ukraine, leading the European Commission to initiate its anti-dumping investigation. The Association represents the interests of major European producers of ferrosilicon, including Ferropem, Ferroatlantica SL, OFZ, and Huta Laziska SA.
According to Ilyashev & Partners, "the successful result has been achieved due to the joint efforts with Jones Day International Law Firm, the representatives of the ferroalloy industry, in particular, PJSC Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant, as well as the Ukrainian Association of the Ferroalloys Producers and Other Electrometallurgy Products, and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine."
The Ilyashev & Partners team working on the case was led by Head of International Trade Olena Omelchenko.
