TOKYO, April 24 (Reuters) - Japan's trade and finance
ministries said on Wednesday they will initiate an anti-dumping
investigation into graphite electrodes from China.
The electrodes are an industrial material used in electric
arc furnace steelmaking.
The Japanese government decided to launch the probe in
accordance with World Trade Organization agreements and domestic
laws, after receiving an application from Japanese graphite
makers SEC Carbon 5304.T , Tokai Carbon 5301.T and Nippon
Carbon 5302.T , the ministries said in a statement.
