Notice of determination 2020/37: countervailing duty on continuous filament glass fibre products originating in Egypt

Updated 12 March 2024

Determination to transition trade remedies measure

This notice is published under regulation 96(1) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The Secretary of State for International Trade has determined the countervailing duty on continuous filament glass fibre products originating in Egypt imposed by the following European Union (EU) instrument is to be transitioned:

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/870 of 24 June 2020 imposing a definitive countervailing duty and definitively collecting the provisional countervailing duty imposed on imports of continuous filament glass fibre products originating in Egypt, and levying the definitive countervailing duty on the registered imports of continuous filament glass fibre products originating in Egypt.

Transition of EU trade remedies measure

This determination follows a call for evidence conducted by the Department for International Trade to identify anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the EU that should be transitioned into the United Kingdom (UK) system. For further information please refer to the trade remedies transition policy guidance.

Effect of determination

The identified trade remedies measure will be transitioned so it will continue to apply when the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system. This is once the UK ceases to apply the EU’s Common External Tariff, unless this notice is revoked, or the EU terminates the measure before the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system.

A transition review will be conducted to assess whether the trade remedies measure is appropriate to the UK. The Trade Remedies Authority (or pending establishment, the Secretary of State) will assess whether the measure is necessary or sufficient to prevent or remove injury to UK industry and whether there would be injury to UK industry if it were no longer applied.

The result of the transition review will be a recommendation (or, pending establishment of the Trade Remedies Authority, a preliminary determination) that the measure be varied or revoked.

The Rt Hon Liz Truss MP

Secretary of State for International Trade
