Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.\nB.\nWithdrawal of the complaint and termination of the proceeding\n(7)\nBy its letter of 1 April 2010 to the Commission, EIFI formally withdrew its complaint.\n(8)\nIn accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(9)\nThe Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(10)\nThe Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof originating in the countries concerned should be terminated,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
