L'AQUILA, Italy, July 10 (Reuters) - The European Union plans to terminate anti-dumping duties on imports of Chinese steel pipes and iron tubes, which account for around 50 percent of the EU market, a document seen by Reuters said.
The European Commission, which oversees trade policy for the 27-nation bloc, will make the proposal at a meeting of national trade officials on July 28, the document showed.
In April, Brussels imposed so-called "provisional" duties lasting six months of up to 25 percent on imports of "certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel" -- mainly used in construction -- from China. (Reporting by Darren Ennis, editing by Dale Hudson)
