Permintaan adalah berdasarkan alasan bahawa penamatan duti anti-lambakan mungkin akan mengakibatkan lambakan dan kemudaratan berterusan atau berulang kepada industri Malaysia.

Pemohon juga telah mengemukakan bahawa terdapat perubahan substantif dalam margin lambakan.

Kerajaan berpuas hati bahawa permintaan itu mengandungi alasan yang mencukupi bagi memulakan suatu kajian semula. Dalam membuat keputusan ini,

Kerajaan juga telah memeriksa harga di pasaran Malaysia berhubung dengan kemungkinan lambakan akan berterusan atau berulang.

ON IMPORTS OF NEWSPRINT IN ROLLS ORIGINATING IN OR EXPORTED FROM

CANADA, THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, THE REPUBLIC

Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Philippines and the United

States of America on 18 September 2013 [P.U. (B) 377/2013], the Government of

Malaysia has received a request for administrative review pursuant to subsections 28(6) and 28(1)(a) of the Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties

Malaysian Newsprint Industries Sdn Bhd (28382-H)

[P.U. (A) 125/2009].

Grounds for the Review 4.

The request is based on the grounds that the termination of the anti-dumping duties would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Malaysian industry.

The applicant presented that should anti-dumping duties be terminated the current import level of the subject merchandise is likely to increase.

Concerning injury aspects, the applicant alleged that any removal of anti-dumping duties will give a negative impact to the Malaysian industry and would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of injury to the Malaysian industry.

The applicant have presented that there are changes to the dumping margin substantially.

The Government is satisfied that the request carries sufficient grounds to initiate a review. In coming to this decision, the Government has also examined prices to the Malaysian market in relation to the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping.

Procedure

The investigation will determine whether the termination of the anti-dumping duties would be likely, or unlikely, to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury. The investigation will also examine the need for the continuation or termination of the existing anti-dumping duties.

Government will send questionnaires to the Malaysian industry and to any association of producers in Malaysia, to the producers and exporters in Canada, the Republic of
