The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of dumping and of material injury resulting from the dumped imports, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.\n(3)\nThe Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union , initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hollow sections originating in the countries concerned.\n(4)\nThe Commission sent questionnaires to the Union industry, to the exporting producers in the countries concerned, to the importers and to the authorities of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine. 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 letter of 23 November 2012 to the Commission, the complainants formally withdrew their 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accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(8)\nThe Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any reasons or considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(9)\nInterested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such a 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 hollow sections originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine should be terminated without the imposition of measures,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
