Ltd).\n1.2.\nGrounds for the review\n(2)\nThe Commission was informed that the sole producer of coumarin, which constituted the Union industry in the investigation which led to the imposition of the existing measures, decided to discontinue production of coumarin within the Union at the end of August 2010.\n1.3.\nInitiation\n(3)\nAccordingly, the Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, initiated, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union , a partial interim review limited to injury aspects of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of coumarin originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of coumarin consigned from India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, whether declared as originating in India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia or not.\n(4)\nThe Commission advised officially the Union producers and the representatives of the People’s Republic of China of the initiation of the review investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.\n1.4.\nProduct under review\n(5)\nThe product under review is coumarin, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN code ex 2932 21 00 (‘the product concerned’).\n2.\nFINDINGS AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING\n(6)\nThe investigation has confirmed that the only Union producer of the product concerned has permanently closed its production facility in August 2010.\n(7)\nThe Commission considers that the present proceeding should be terminated since the review investigation has 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(8)\nThe Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of the the product concerned into the Union should be terminated,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
