EPAP Ukraine defended interests of Ukrainian producers of ferroalloys

EPAP Ukraine acted as a legal counsel to Ukrainian Association of Ferroalloy Producers and Other Electrical Metallurgy Products Manufacturers (UkrFa), Nikopol, Zaporozhye and Stakhanov Ferroalloy Plants in first of its kind countervailing investigation initiated in 2014 by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) against imports of Ukrainian ferrosilicomanganese to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) territory.

EPAP’s Ukraine international trade & customs team provided a comprehensive support including but not limited to the following: development of counter position, draft and file response to applicant's claim, participation in public hearings and consultations with the EEC, draft and file response pursuant to the public hearing and consultations.

As a result of the team’s work, the EEC closed the countervailing investigation due to lack of grounds for imposing of countervailing duty.
