NOTICE 236 OF 2014

INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION COMMISSION OF
                                                SOUTH AFRICA

TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE ALLEGED DUMPING
               OF GRAPHITE ELECTRODES FOR USE IN FURNACES ORIGINATING IN
               OR IMPORTED FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (CHINA) AND
               INDIA

The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (the Commission)
               initiated an investigation into the alleged dumping of graphite electrodes for use in
               furnaces originating in or imported from the People's Republic of China (China) and
               India, pursuant to Notice No. 1128 of 2013 in Government Gazette No. 37037.

The application was lodged by the Graf Tech South Africa Pty Ltd, the only manufacturer
               of the subject product in the SACU. The Applicant alleged that the subject product was
               being dumped into the SACU market, causing material injury to the SACU industry.

The investigation was initiated after the Commission considered that there was prima
               facie evidence to show that the subject product was imported at dumped prices, causing
               material injury and that there was a causal link between dumped imports and material
               injury.

On 06 February 2014, a letter was received from the Applicant informing the
               Commission that it has decided to cease its operations and request that the current anti-
               dumping investigation on graphite electrodes for use in furnaces origination in or
               imported from China and India be terminated.

The Commission therefore decided that the investigation into the alleged dumping of
               graphite electrodes originating in or imported from China and India be terminated.

Enquiries may be directed to the investigating officers, Ms. Regina Peta at telephone
               at (012) 394 3632 or Mr Busman Makakola at (012) 394 3880 or Ms Mosa Sebe at
