  "text": "Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1193\nof 21 August 2018\nterminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of silicon originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Brazil\nTHE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,\nHaving regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,\nHaving regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,\nWhereas:\nA.\nINITIATION AND PROCEDURE\n(1)\nOn 19 December 2017, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) initiated an anti-dumping investigation with regard to imports into the Union of silicon originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Brazil and published a notice of initiation to this effect in the Official Journal of the European Union .\n(2)\nThe investigation was initiated following a complaint lodged by Ferroatlántica and Ferropem (‘the complainants’), representing more than 85 % of the total Union production of silicon. The complaint contained prima facie evidence of injurious dumping that was considered sufficient to justify the initiation.\n(3)\nThe Commission informed the complainants, the known exporting producers in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Brazil, the known importers and users and any other parties known to be concerned, as well as representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Brazil of the initiation of the investigation. Interested parties were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.\nB.\nWITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING\n(4)\nBy email of 7 May 2018, the complainants informed the Commission that they wished to withdraw the complaint.\n(5)\nIn accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, proceedings may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(6)\nThe investigation has not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would be against the Union interest. Therefore, the Commission considered that the investigation into imports into the Union of silicon originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Brazil should be terminated.\n(7)\nInterested parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment. However, the Commission received no comments which would justify that termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(8)\nThe Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of silicon originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Brazil should be terminated without the imposition of measures.\n(9)\nThis Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
