The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of resulting material injury that was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of the investigation.\n(3)\nIn the notice of initiation, the Commission invited interested parties to contact it in order to participate in the investigation. In addition, the Commission specifically informed the complainant, other known Union producers, the known exporting producer and the Malaysian authorities, known importers, suppliers and users, traders, as well as associations known to be concerned about the initiation of the investigation and invited them to participate.\n(4)\nAll interested parties had an opportunity to comment on the initiation of the investigation and to request a hearing with the Commission and/or the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.\n2.\nWITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING\n(5)\nBy letter of 14 December 2018, the complainant informed the Commission that it wished to withdraw its complaint.\n(6)\nUnder Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, proceedings may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.\n(7)\nThe investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that a continuation of the case would be in the Union interest. Therefore, the Commission considered that the investigation into imports into the Union of solar glass originating in Malaysia should be terminated. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment. Ten users of solar glass came forward supporting the termination. No other comments were received.\n(8)\nThe Commission therefore concluded that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of solar glass originating in Malaysia should be terminated without the imposition of measures.\n(9)\nThis Decision is accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
