(2)  Both complaints were lodged by Euratex (European Apparel and Textile Organisation), on behalf of all producers of certain woven glass fibre fabric in the Community. (3)  These complaints contained evidence of dumping and subsidisation, and of material injury resulting therefrom, considered sufficient to justify the initi- ation of both an anti-dumping and an anti-subsidy proceeding.

The Commission officially advised the exporters, the importers, the upstream suppliers of glass fibre fabric, the downstream industrial users of woven glass fibre fabric known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notices of initiation. B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS By letter of 4 June 1998 to the Commission, Euratex formally withdrew its anti-dumping and anti-subsidy complaints concerning imports of certain woven glass fibre fabric originating in Taiwan. In accordance with Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Atrticle 14 of Council Regula- tion No 2026/97, when the complainant withdraws its complaint the proceeding may be terminated unless such termination would not be in the Community interest. The Commission considered that the present investigations have not brought to light any considerations of Community interest which would be against the termination of the proceedings. Interested parties were informed that, under these circumstances, the Commission intended to ter- minate the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceed- ings, and were given the opportunity to comment. None raised any objection.
