What changed
The European Commission has initiated an expiry review (Case R848) concerning continuous filament glass fibre products originating from the People's Republic of China. This investigation, with an indicative initiation date of February 23, 2026, will assess whether existing trade measures, likely anti-dumping or anti-subsidy duties, should be maintained upon their expiry. The Commission is seeking submissions through questionnaires from exporting producers, importers, and Union producers.
Regulated entities involved in the import or export of these products, or domestic production, should prepare to respond to the questionnaires and any subsequent disclosures. While the initiation date is set for February 23, 2026, the legally binding deadlines will be specified in the official Notice of Initiation. Failure to participate or provide accurate information could result in measures being imposed based on available facts, potentially impacting trade flows and pricing.
What to do next
- Review the Notice of Initiation for specific deadlines and requirements.
- Complete and submit the relevant questionnaires for exporting producers, importers, or Union producers.
- Prepare to submit comments on any provisional or final disclosures made by the Commission.
