The European Union Commission (EC) has extended definitive antidumping duty of 66.1 percent for one year on import of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamp (CFL-i) from four countries including Pakistan.

This decision was a result of Pak-EU joint verification undertaken from 18-12 April 2005 that CFL-I exported by a Pakistani company M/s Ecopak Lighting is in fact of Chinese origin, a statement of Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) stated on Saturday.

The above measures have been extended for another period of one year vide Council Regulation No.1205/2007 dated 15-10-2007.

The definitive anti-dumping duty is imposed by the above regulation on imports of electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps functioning on alternating current (including electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps functioning on both alternating and direct current), with one or more glass tubes, with all lighting elements and electronic components fixed to the lamp foot, or integrated in the lamp foot, falling within CN code ex 8539 31 90 (TARIC code 8539 31 9095). staff report
