Meanwhile, it was decided to terminate the anti-dumping investigation into imports into Ukraine of aluminum ladders from China, Slovakia, Poland and Belarus without taking measures to withdraw the relevant complaint by the claimant.

The issue of the process of anti-dumping investigation into the import of rolled carbon steel to Ukraine from Ukraine was also considered, and based on the results of the discussion, it was decided to extend it to 15 months. In addition, the Commission decided to initiate an interim review of the anti-dumping measures on imports of extra cooking table salt from Belarus.

During the meeting, the Commission considered the results of investigations into the facts of discriminatory and/or unfriendly actions by the Republic of Belarus against producers of nitrogen fertilizers and waterproofing and roofing materials.
