EU opens dumping inquiry

BRUSSELS (Reuter): The European Commission said it has decided
to open an inquiry into possible dumping of unbleached cotton
fabrics from China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Turkey
following European industry complaints.

The announcement in issue C50 of the Official Journal of the
European Communities states that evidence provided by the
Committee of the Cotton and Allied Textile Industries of the
European Union shows proof of a major rise in the share of the EU
market taken by the imports.

It asks for interested parties to make the views known to the
Commission within 10 days.
