The proceeding was initiated as a result of a complaint lodged on 16 October 2006 by Comité de liaison des industries Ferro-Alliages (Euroalliages) (the complainant), on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 90 % of the total Community production of FeSi.
Menetlus algatati kaebuse põhjal, mille esitas 16. oktoobril 2006 Comité de liaison des industries Ferro-Alliages (Euroalliages) (edaspidi „kaebuse esitaja”) tootjate nimel, kelle toodang moodustab olulise osa, käesoleval juhul enam kui 90 % ühenduse FeSi kogutoodangust.
