HC Deb 03 May 1984 vol 59 c203W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what evidence he has of dumping in the United Kingdom by Japanese exporters of retail weighing machines; whether this has been considered by the appropriate Directorate of the European Economic Commission; and what conclusions it has reached.

Mr. Fletcher

An anti-dumping investigation into imports of electronic retail weighing machines into the Community from Japan was opened on 3 September 1983 and provisional anti-dumping duties were imposed on 22 March 1984. The investigation is continuing and should be concluded within the next three months.
