Termination of Safeguards Investigations against PET

Riad & Riad (R&R) advised and successfully represented a number of Chinese Exporters and the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation to respond to a safeguard investigation initiated by the Egyptian Government on the Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) imported into Egypt. R&R assisted in the planning and lobbying, participated in the preparation of the responses to questionnaires and the non-injury briefs as well as attending the hearing sessions.
The Egyptian Ministry of Trade and Industry issued the Essential Facts and Conclusions Report concluding that the serious injury suffered by the domestic industry is not attributed to the increase in imports but to other unrelated causes. It also concluded that the imposition of safeguards measures against (PET) would not serve the Egyptian public interests. The Egyptian Government accordingly terminated the investigation without imposing any measures.
