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.\n(5)\nAll interested parties who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.\nB.\nWITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING\n(6)\nBy a letter of 17 January 2012 to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.\n(7)\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accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(8)\nIt is considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation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(9)\nThe Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of sodium cyclamate originating in the PRC, limited to the Fang Da group should be terminated.\n(10)\nThe review based on Article 2(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1515/2001 can therefore also be terminated,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
