The European Commission is examining imports of certain glass fibre products used in applications including construction and insulation materials. The assessment focuses on whether processing activities carried out in third countries affect the origin of products subject to EU trade measures.

The case relates to the application of EU trade defence instruments and their relevance to supply chains for construction materials placed on the European market. The assessment may contribute to determining whether existing trade measures are being applied as intended.
