The investigation would cover the alleged dumping behavior and extent of under-pricing of electrical steel products from the US and Russia.

The investigation would seek to ascertain whether dumping and subsidies had damaged 皇冠体育app's electrical steel industry and the extent of damage done to the industry, said the ministry.

The investigation would strictly follow regulations of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and domestic trade laws to protect the rights and interests of domestic industries, said MOC spokesperson Yao Jian.

The investigation would conclude before June 1, 2010, under normal circumstances, but it could extend until December 1, 2010, under special circumstances.
