Notice is hereby given that, acting pursuant to section 11 of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act"), I have terminated a dumping investigation in respect of primary carpet backing fabric from Saudi Arabia (the "subject goods" as described in the Notice of Initiation of Dumping Investigation of 29 March 2000 (New Zealand Gazette, 6 April 2000, page 795)), imported or intended to be imported into New Zealand.
I have terminated the investigation because I am satisfied, under section 11 (1) (d) of the Act, that the application for the investigation has been withdrawn in writing by the Australian producer by or on whose behalf the application was made.
Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of August 2000.
PAUL SWAIN, Minister of Commerce.
