EU annuls anti-dumping duty on Belarusian fertilizer

MINSK. Jan 23 (Interfax) - The European Union has annulled anti- dumping duties on carbamide exported by Belarus, an official with the Belarusian Foreign Ministry has said.

"We've just received a letter saying that the European Union has annulled anti-dumping duties on Belarusian carbamide," Anton Kudasov the deputy director of the ministry's Foreign Trade Department, said at a second conference of Belarusian company managers on Wednesday.

This decision will help expand the export capabilities of Grodno Azot, the monopoly producer of carbamide, he said.

Kudasov also said that the European Union had earlier lifted anti- dumping duties on Belarusian polyester and fiber.

Ukraine, meanwhile, reversed the plan to introduce anti-dumping duties for Belarusian tires following a probe, he said.

The EU imposed anti-dumping duties on Belarusian carbamide imports in 2000.
