EU opens new investigation into Chinese steel imports

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission has opened an investigation into hot-rolled steel sheet piles imported from China to determine whether they are being dumped in Europe, according to a notice in the EU Official Journal on Thursday.

The investigation was launched following a complaint by EU steelmaker group Eurofer and could bring fresh measures against Chinese steel.
